Resume Refresh begins with an online introductory questionnaire followed by a telephone 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.

LinkedIn Optimization (optional) comes after 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.
Revisions are limited to 1-2 rounds of light editing and finetuning during a 30-day period after receiving 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.
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.
Every project comes out a little differently.
We aim to build ATS-friendly and visually appealing Resumes that are compatible with technology systems (ATS) while also capturing the attention of human beings.
Normally, we select an appropriate layout for each unique customer, choosing from our collection of 35+ Resume layouts.
We also welcome our more ‘hands-on’ customers to browse our digital collection and select their favorite Resume layout.
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.
