Frequently Asked Questions

Resume Writing

Building your new Resume requires effective information gathering and collaboration for an end-product that feels genuine and authentic. The client intake process helps to gather information on important variables like your desired job title and industry. The intake process consists of an introductory questionnaire and a telephone call.

After completion of the intake process, your first drafts are prepared and uploaded into the client portal within 5 business days. You may request 30 days of draft revisions to ensure full satisfaction. Final documents are prepared in both MS Word and PDF along with additional information and resources to make the most of your new Resume.

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)

In general, the Resume Writing process typically lasts from 10 to 30 business days (start to finish). This timeline takes into consideration completion of the introductory questionnaire, telephone intake call, first draft development, draft revisions (up to 30 days), and preparation of final proofed copies.

Please see the Resume Writing Process page for an extended overview.

LinkedIn Optimization

LinkedIn Optimization begins upon completion of the Resume Writing process. This service is comprised of two parts: (1) developing the content for your LinkedIn profile (2) performing the actual live profile updates.

Developing the content for your LinkedIn profile means preparing custom descriptions for each component of your LinkedIn profile including the introductory summary, work history, projects, education, certifications, organizations, and much more.

Similar to the Resume Writing process, unlimited revisions allow for refinements and improvements to the proposed content before it goes live on your LinkedIn profile. The end-result is a LinkedIn profile that is on-par and working in compliment to your new Resume. For more information, please see the LinkedIn FAQs on this page.

Resume Distribution

Resume Distribution is the final step after your Resume and LinkedIn are completed.

Your new Resume and an accompanying Recruiter Letter are emailed to a network of 500+ recipients at staffing and search firms (or PE / VC firms). After sendoff, you receive an MS Excel spreadsheet with a list of all the recipients and their contact information. Please see the Resume Distribution FAQs on this page for more information.

Yes, an in-depth phone consultation is a standard part of the intake process.

This discreet and confidential phone call is beneficial to the Resume Writing process for familiarizing with your background and fleshing out your objectives (occupation, industry, and seniority level).

Upon first draft delivery, document revisions are typically handled through written correspondence, although phone calls are happily arranged upon request.

Unlimited Revisions allow for edits, revisions, and questions for a period of 30-days after receiving your first drafts.

We do our very best to develop flawless documents on the first try. Your input is helpful in building documents that are properly aligned with your goals. Constructive feedback and helpful comments and questions are welcome.

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.

Unlimited Revisions is for refining and fine tuning the master version of your Resume. If you have multiple targets, please consider adding 2nd Focus Resume to your order for the development of a secondary version.

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.

No. This service is meant for targeting private-sector job opportunities.

If you’re seeking a USAJOBS-compliant Resume for applying to jobs with the United States federal government, please visit our Federal Resume.

Yes!

We’re proud to maintain a portfolio 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.

Rush (+$200) 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).

Please bear in mind these timelines require your participation in completing the client intake process (online introductory questionnaire and telephone consultation).

*Rush applies to your Resume and Cover Letter only (not the entire Gold package).

Gold includes a matching Thank You Letter and References List as well as an optional Cover Letter 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.

LinkedIn™ Optimization is our signature service for building and/or overhauling your LinkedIn profile. We develop unique content for each category including your opening summary, work history, projects, and more.

In addition to preparing the content, we analyze your profile and make suggested improvements. The end result is a LinkedIn profile that builds your image, communicates your message, and helps you stand out.

We create the content for your LinkedIn profile on an informative worksheet in MS Word. The worksheet covers all areas of your profile including the introductory summary, work history, education, volunteerism, projects, awards, and more.

Simply copy and paste information from the worksheet into your live profile and make our suggested profile improvements. We also offer an upgraded service (PRO) for performing the live updates on your behalf.

Do it Yourself (DIY)

DIY means doing the LinkedIn profile updates yourself.

We create all the content for your new LinkedIn profile on a helpful DIY worksheet. Simply copy and paste the professionally written content from the DIY worksheet onto your profile in the appropriate categories. Great option if you have free time and/or are confident in your ability to navigate and update your LinkedIn profile without support.

Professional (PRO)

PRO means we do the LinkedIn profile updates for you.

In addition to preparing the content for your profile, we perform the work of optimizing your LinkedIn profile. This process requires providing a temporary password and granting access to your profile account. Great option if you’re short on time and/or unfamiliar with the inner-workings of how to navigate and update your LinkedIn profile.

Yes, the PRO option saves you time and ensures top quality.

Carefully analyzing and updating each component of your LinkedIn profile requires time, effort, and expertise to ensure maximum consistency and optimal display.

We send your Resume and accompanying Recruiter Letter to 500 to 2,000+ recipients at staffing and search firms across the country. Sending your Resume to recruiters is a fast, convenient, and pain-free way to jump start your job search.

For example, we’ll send your Resume to recruiters at well-known national search firms like Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Struggles, and Christian & Timbers as well as smaller firms (based on your industry, occupation, and experience level).

Making contacts in the recruiting world is extremely valuable for job seekers. Of course, doing that on your own can be time-consuming and difficult. This service puts you in touch with 500 to 2,000+ recruiters with one click of a button.

Where applicable, we also possess the ability to send your documents to PE / VC firms (instead of staffing firms). This option is best for C-Suite leaders as well as entrepreneurial-minded professionals that are specifically targeting opportunities in the startup ecosystem

First, we develop a Recruiter Letter that accompanies your Resume during send-off. This letter is intended to communicate your qualifications, share the context of your situation, and capture interest from recruiters.

Next, your Resume and Recruiter Letter are emailed to approximately 500 to 2,000+ individual recipients at staffing and search firms across the country (or PE / VC firms) based on relevancy as it pertains to your industry, occupation, and experience level.

Finally, after sendoff you receive an MS Excel spreadsheet with a list of all the recipients and their contact information. This allows you to conduct follow-up with recruiters to capture their attention and take an interest in your situation.

After your documents are distributed, those parties interested in learning more about you will reach out directly. This outreach is usually a telephone call or email correspondence to make contact and setup time for discussion.

Resume Distribution is a one-time sendoff. Results vary from person to person depending on many factors. Please see the FAQs on the Resume Distribution page for more information.
