Frequently Asked Questions

Maybe!

This service is perfect if you’ve got a current Resume that needs a visual overhaul.

The primary objective of Resume Refresh is to improve your document visually. Rather than doing a line-by-line rewrite of the wording – this service focuses on enhancing the layout, formatting, structure, packaging, and overall presentation.

Resume Refresh is a great service! Customers love how it’s 50% cheaper than Bronze (starting at $595). However, it does come with some key limitations of note.

Still unsure which service is best for you? Submit a contact us request with a copy of your current Resume and we’ll give you our recommendation.

Resume Refresh begins with an online introductory questionnaire followed by a 15-minute intake call to discuss your needs before first draft development.

After completion of the intake process, your first drafts are prepared and uploaded into the client portal within 5 business days.

You may request 1-2 rounds of revisions within a 30-day period after reviewing first drafts. Final documents are saved in both MS Word and PDF.

LinkedIn Optimization (optional) comes after the completion of the refresh process.

Yes, a 15-minute intake call is a standard part of the process for better understanding your needs prior to refreshing your Resume.

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.

Since this service isn’t a line-by-line rewrite, revisions are limited to 1-2 rounds after receiving first drafts (30-day period) for light finetuning.

We aim to provide timely and thorough responses. Please allow up to three business days turnaround time for each round of draft revisions.

If your Resume isn’t totally up to date, that’s okay.

For jobs that aren’t currently on your Resume, you’ll be asked to provide descriptions of your duties and achievements into the questionnaire.

If you need help preparing these descriptions, please consider our Bronze package for a line-by-line redevelopment of your new Resume.

Yes!

We maintain a private collection of 35+ layouts for customers to select from.

We’re happy to select an appropriate layout on your behalf – or, you may browse our digital collection of Resume layouts and pick your desired format.

We aim to build ATS-friendly and visually appealing Resumes that are compatible with technology systems (ATS) while capturing the attention of the human being reading it.

That’s the secret sauce to building an effective Resume in today’s environment.

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.

No. Resume Refresh is meant for private-sector job seekers.

Please visit our Federal Resume if you need a USAJOBS-compliant Resume for opportunities with the United States federal government.

Resume Refresh includes a matching Cover Letter (optional) in the same layout as your new 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.
