  • Resume Rework

    $195.00$795.00
    Resume Rework for entry through executive-level professionals. Rework is our dedicated service exclusively for returning JobStars customers to update a previously written Resume. Welcome back! We revisit your Resume by adding your newest positions as well as tweaking the focus and updating the layout. The end result is an ATS-friendly and visually appealing document that accurately reflects your current value proposition as a job seeker. Use the dropdowns below the FAQs to add a rework of your Cover Letter and/or LinkedIn Optimization.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, if you’ve previously worked with JobStars on the development of your Resume and you need help retooling it by adding recently held jobs and/or tweaking the focus. If you're new to JobStars and you've never worked with us before, please visit the Resume Writing homepage for an overview of our different services.
    Resume Rework begins with an online introductory questionnaire followed by an intake phone call to discuss things before first draft redevelopment. After completion of the intake process, your reworked first drafts are uploaded into the client portal within 5 business days. You may request 30 days of draft revisions to ensure your full satisfaction. Final documents are delivered in MS Word and PDF.
    Unlimited Revisions allow for edits, revisions, and questions for a period of 30-days after receiving your first drafts. The process for making revisions typically involves downloading the document in MS Word and using track changes / comments to make markups, then uploading your revised draft into the secure and confidential client portal. Although written revisions tend to be most productive, phone call requests are happily accommodated too. We aim to provide timely and thorough responses. Please allow up to three business days turnaround time for each set of draft revisions.
    When you have multiple job title targets, sometimes building one ‘master version’ is the optimal approach. For instance, imagine you’re applying for Sales jobs as well as Business Development jobs. Since these titles share many similarities, it makes sense to create one ‘master version’ that works for both targets. Now imagine you’re applying for Project Manager jobs as well as Sales jobs. Since these are not so similar, you’ll benefit from having two versions (one for each focus). Our 2nd Focus Resume is a discounted service for building another version as needed.
    Resume Rework includes a matching Cover Letter (optional) in the same layout as your reworked Resume to ensure you’re fully equipped for the job search. Additionally, this service includes full access to our entire library of exercises, guides, and worksheets which are free for you to download within the client portal. Job Search Guides

  • 2nd Focus Resume

    $95.00$275.00
    2nd Focus Resume for entry through executive-level professionals. This service is useful for creating a targeted alternative version of your Resume, specifically geared toward a particular job title and/or industry. Great for job seekers with two or more divergent desired job titles and/or industry concentrations.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    When you have multiple job title targets, sometimes building one ‘master version’ is the optimal approach. For instance, imagine you’re applying for Sales jobs as well as Business Development jobs. Since these titles share many similarities, it makes sense to create one ‘master version’ that works for both targets. Now imagine you’re applying for Project Manager jobs as well as Sales jobs. Since these are not so similar, you’ll benefit from having two versions (one for each focus).
    The opening portion of your Resume (aka 'Career Profile') must succinctly communicate your Three Pillars. Selecting optimal keywords and crafting a clear and concise message about your target are the keys to success with ATS as well as hiring managers.
    When building multiple targeted Resumes for different focuses, the main changes take place in the opening "career profile" section of the document. This is the area which communicates the high level context and focus. Whereas, the body of your Resume (individual job descriptions) may generally remain unchanged on each version. In certain cases, it also makes sense to alter the body to achieve optimum relevancy.
    After completion of the intake process, your 2nd Focus Resume draft is uploaded for your review within 5 business days. You may request edits and revisions for up to 30 days to ensure your complete satisfaction (3 business days turnaround for revisions). Final documents are prepared in both MS Word and PDF. We pledge to deliver on the following timelines:
    • First drafts delivered in 5 business days (after completion of intake process)
    • All draft revisions delivered in 3 business days (per each round)
    Rush (+$100) significantly expedites the Resume Writing process. Under the normal timeline, your first draft is ready in five business days (draft revisions in three business days). Rush (60% faster!) delivers your first draft in two business days (draft revisions in one business day).
