The first draft of your new content is ready within five business days. LinkedIn Optimization includes unlimited revisions for a 30-day period to ensure your complete satisfaction with the content before it goes live on your profile.

We aim to provide timely and thorough responses. Please allow up to three business days turnaround time for each round of LinkedIn profile draft revisions. Currently, we do not offer RUSH service on LinkedIn Optimization.

Great option if you're short on time and/or unfamiliar with the inner-workings of how to navigate and update your LinkedIn profile.

  • Resume Distribution

    $350.00
    Resume Distribution for entry through executive-level professionals. Your Resume and accompanying Recruiter Letter get emailed to 500 to 2,000+ recipients at staffing and search firms across the US. Sending your Resume to recruiters is a fast, convenient, and pain-free way to jump start your job search. Savvy recruiters are always looking for high quality candidates. This service is a one-time sendoff to hundreds upon thousands of nationwide recruiters. Tap into the hidden job market by sending your Resume to actual human recruiters. *Included in the Gold Package and/or may be purchased individually. **For those targeting the startup ecosystem, we also offer distribution to venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) firms (substitute for recruiters).

    Frequently Asked Questions

    First, we develop a Recruiter Letter that accompanies your Resume during send-off. This letter is intended to communicate your objectives and the context of your situation to capture interest from recruiters. Developing your Recruiter Letter includes unlimited revisions to ensure your full satisfaction with the letter prior to sendoff. Next, we tap into a database of 42,000+ contacts at staffing and search firms across the country and narrow the field based on your industry and/or functional expertise. Finally, your Resume and Recruiter Letter are emailed to 500 - 2,000+ recipients at staffing and search firms across the United States. After sendoff you receive an MS Excel spreadsheet with a list of all recipients and their contact information.

    In today's modern hiring environment, many job openings are never published online. Instead, these roles are filled through headhunting and/or personal referrals. This phenomenon is most commonly referred to as the 'hidden job market'. Our service taps you into the hidden job market by delivering your Resume into the inboxes of hundreds upon thousands of recruiters.

    Results vary depending on many factors including timing and serendipity. Interested recruiters usually reach out via phone or email to connect. Sometimes it results in immediate interviews for specific assignments. Other times, it's the beginning of a networking process which may lead to future opportunities.

    Yes. If you have an existing Resume that doesn't require edits we're happy to use that. You are not required to work with us on your Resume in order to use this service. If you're on the fence about getting help, consider our budget-friendly Resume Refresh ($250 for professionals) to give your Resume a visual makeover.

    Resume Distribution is a nationwide sendoff because recruiters often work in multiple markets. For instance, a recruiter in Omaha might have openings to fill in Chicago. Therefore, the recruiter's location is not representative of where they have vacancies. The important thing about your geographic preferences is to make them clear in your Recruiter Letter. That way recipients understand your geographic parameters.

    Shortly after the sendoff, you receive an MS Excel spreadsheet with a list of all the recipients and their contact information.

    Firms like Korn Ferry, Heidrick & Struggles, and Christian & Timbers basically serve as an intermediary between employers and job seekers. These firms help companies find qualified employees to fill a variety of different roles. Your documents get emailed to individual recruiters that work at these agencies.

    For those targeting the startup ecosystem, we offer distribution to venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) firms (substitute for recruiters). Firms like these such as 5 AM Ventures, CVC Capital Partners, and Lexington Partners are on the cutting edge within the startup ecosystem in providing capital to startups and rapidly growing small businesses. The VC & PE option is best for C-Suite leaders as well as entrepreneurial-minded professionals that are specifically targeting opportunities in the startup ecosystem; such as running a portfolio company or joining a company's board.

    Yes. This service makes a great gift for loved ones and friends. Simply place your order here on the website and include the name and email address of your gift recipient into the 'order notes' at checkout.

  • 2nd Focus Resume - JobStars USA

    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).

    2nd Focus Resume ranges from $50 to $295 (depending on multiple factors). Please make your selections from the dropdowns below the FAQs to see exact pricing. The price you see is the price you pay; no sales tax or hidden fees.

    Rates vary by seniority level and timeline. Please see the drop down menus below FAQ (on this page) to make your selections.

  • Cover Letter - JobStars USA LLC

    Cover Letter

    $50.00 – $195.00
    Cover Letter for entry through executive-level professionals. Your Cover Letter compliments your Resume in communicating how you're qualified and why you're a perfect fit for the job. This includes recapping your skills and expertise as well as sharing key contextual information like your salary requirements, relocation plans, or career change plans. Prepared in MS Word in first person tense.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    First, you're asked to complete a short, online introductory questionnaire to provide more information on your Cover Letter needs and desired job target. Shortly thereafter, a 15-minute call is arranged to discuss your project. Upon completion of this intake process, your first draft is ready within five business days and a 30-day window exists for edits and revisions. All draft revisions are responded to within three business days.

    Yes, if you already have a quality Resume and you need help putting together a complimentary Cover Letter that takes your application to the next level. However, if you need more help than simply building a customized Cover Letter – please visit the Resume Writing homepage for an overview on our resume services.

    Yes. After receiving the first draft of your new Cover Letter, you have a 30-day window to request edits and revisions to ensure your complete satisfaction. Unlimited Revisions applies to the development of a single master version of your Cover Letter. This is based on your choice between building a multi-use document or gearing it for a single specific job announcement. Unlimited Revisions are not intended to serve the purpose of customizing your Cover Letter for multiple job postings. In this case, customization is your own responsibility.

    Yes. If you already have a strong Resume and simply need help drafting an effective Cover Letter, this is the service for you.

    Including a targeted Cover Letter when applying to a job tells employers that you're serious. It shows your willingness to invest time and energy into preparing a customized letter. This could be what separates you from the crowd. Plus, most companies still ask for a Cover Letter during the normal application process. For a deeper explanation, see our article on the Importance of Cover Letters for Job Search Success.

    Generally speaking, the Cover Letter is prepared as a multi-use document that is adjustable for use on multiple job applications. If preferred, your Cover Letter may be prepared as a narrowly targeted, single-use document aimed at one specific job announcement. You may decide which approach best fits your needs.

    Your first Cover Letter draft is normally delivered within five business days. Adding rush service to your order means first draft delivery within two business days. Please bear in mind, this timeline requires your participation in completing the client intake process (online introductory questionnaire and telephone consultation).
