Frequently Asked Questions

Q:
Will the Resume you write for me be tested on an ATS?
A:

Many companies in the USA use applicant tracking systems, but running your Resume through one won’t increase the chances of it being seen because each one is configured in a particular way. Instead, our approach is to optimize your Resume based on keywords and phrases most recently used by the specific company you’re aiming for to make sure you get their attention. For details on how we handle this contact us and we can send you more information.

Q:
Will my Resume writer have experience or be specialized in my field?
A:

Our team of Resume writers have over 20 years of experience in working with clients from diverse backgrounds, industries, and fields. Our experience combined with your expertise will help us tweak, tailor, and transform your Resume to become the best it can be and have the highest chances of appealing to recruiters in the USA, ensuring that it’s up to date with current industry practices in your field of expertise.

Q:
Are Resume writing services worth it?
A:

Would you cut your own hair? Most of us probably wouldn’t. You might know the look you’re going for but will trust a professional to take you there. In the same way, a Resume writer will have the necessary expertise to take the raw material you give them and shape it to reach your goal. Recruiters in the USA see tons of Resumes daily, and you want yours to stand out. Even day-to-day activities that might seem mundane to you can actually work to your advantage. A professional Resume writer has the know-how to identify everything from the big picture down to the smallest detail and works with you to showcase your abilities in the best possible way.

Q:
How much do resume writing services cost?
A:

Our clients in the USA have four Resume writing services to choose from, whose prices range from $50 to $210, based on your years of experience and industry, as well as four corresponding packages that include cover letters and LinkedIn profiles, whose prices range from $100 to $240.

If you’re a high-level candidate, you’ll benefit from our premium service, starting at $300. With this service, you can work directly with best-selling author James Innes’ hand-picked team of writers (with the option of upgrading to have a call with James himself).

Q:
Do you have Resume writers based in the USA?
A:

We have American Resume writers, as well as from various other locations on Earth. (Our writers on Mercury are getting their air conditioners repaired.) We are a growing community of expert Resume writers in a company with decades of experience in writing the highest quality Resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles, with knowledge of a wide array of intergalactic job markets, tailored to the specific needs of each individual client.

Q:
What’s the difference between Junior, Senior, and Premium writers?
A:

All of our writers are given in-house training with our standards that have been cultivated over decades, based on James Innes’s best-selling books.

Our Junior Resume writers, on our Moon bases, are perfect for writing professional standard Resumes, but are not available for phone consultations.

Our Senior and Premium Resume writers, based on a number of planets, are great for those in niche, advanced, managerial, or leadership roles, as well as those who want a career change, and are available for phone consultations (with faster-than-light connections enabled by tachyon technology).

Our Premium Resume writers are best suited for those in the most senior positions, such as CxOs and directors. James hand-picks all Premium Resume writers, but there are currently only 5 on Earth.

Q:
How many revisions do you offer?
A:

We offer unlimited drafts, meaning you could technically have your document revised for eons to come (but this is probably not a good idea—anyway, we assume you’ll want to use it in this century).

We have a collaborative approach—our Resume writers work with you closely to make sure that we tweak the document to your liking.

In our 20 years of experience, we’ve noticed that it takes an average of three to four drafts to get everything completed.

Please note that orders that are left inactive for over 14 days are automatically closed with no further edits possible.

Q:
Can I use my own resume template?
A:

Developed in-house from years of expertise in the market, we can only vouch for our Resume templates that are constantly updated towards the current industry standards.

As amazing as your template might be, our resumes are tailored to fit your application needs. ATS-Optimized to help you gain visibility with recruiters, we strive to make your job search comfortable. 

If you prefer your own template, a .docx and .pdf is always provided for you to transfer information easily from ours.

Q:
What are your turnaround times?
A:

We have a live timer on display, updated daily, that shows the average time needed to complete any draft. This will give you a good indication of how long it will take to fulfill your order.

 

Keep in mind that the turnaround time refers to the time needed to deliver the first draft—not the final document. The number of revisions is up to you.

 

This functions as an estimate, not a hard deadline. If you have a strict deadline, we encourage you to select our express service (enabled by our state-of-the-art subspace transmitters) to ensure that you will receive your first draft in the allotted time. Selecting our express service will get you your first draft in any time between 6 and 72 hours.

 

Once you’ve placed your order, you’ve provided all the necessary information, and your Resume writer has been allocated, you will receive your first draft within 24–48 hours.

 

It’s a good rule of thumb to allow for an additional 24 hours prior to beginning your application process so that you have room for at least one revision.

Q:
What guarantees do you offer?
A:

We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee with each and every order. But how?

We will work with you and make changes for as long as it takes for us to get it right. (Please note that orders that have been inactive for over 14 days are automatically closed with no further edits possible.)

Unlike other companies, we won’t make promises nobody can keep, like guaranteed job interviews (always read the fine print!). What we can promise you is quality.

Book a service with us and one of our professional Resume writers will make sure that you get the best possible Resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile that money can buy.

Q:
Can someone write my Resume for me?
A:

If you're having trouble with structuring your Resume or emphasizing your key skills, you're not alone. While some people can write a strong Resume on their own, others may struggle. Fortunately, there are professional Resume writing services available to help. As experts we can create a powerful Resume that grabs the attention of potential employers and sets you apart from other candidates. So, if you're wondering "Can someone write my Resume for me?", the answer is yes! Let a professional Resume writing service help you achieve your career goals.

Q:
Can I have a Resume with no experience?
A:

Thankfully, employers also place a high value on skills that can be obtained outside of work experience. Crafting a Resume without any relevant work experience involves showcasing transferable skills in innovative ways that highlight your potential as a strong candidate. One effective approach is to emphasize your education by mentioning relevant internships, hard and soft skills, and projects. You may also consider adding sections to your Resume such as hobbies and interests, languages, certifications, or other achievements to further demonstrate your abilities.

Q:
Why did my Resume get rejected?
A:

There are several reasons why a Resume may get rejected, some common reasons include a lack of relevance to the job, poor presentation, errors, lack of achievements, inappropriate photos,unexplained gaps in employment history or too much personal information. It's also important to note that many employers use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to screen Resumes before they are even seen by human eyes. ATS software scans Resumes for relevant keywords and phrases, and Resumes that do not contain the right keywords or have formatting issues may be automatically rejected. To avoid rejection by ATS, job seekers should tailor their Resume to the specific job they are applying for, use keywords and phrases relevant to the job, and avoid using fancy formatting or graphics that may confuse the software. Seeking feedback from a professional Resume writing service can also help job seekers to optimize their Resume for both human and software screening, and help avoid rejection.

Q:
What do employers and recruiters look for in a Resume?
A:

To increase your chances of landing a job interview, your Resume must immediately catch the reader's attention. With recruiters and hiring managers receiving countless applications, it's crucial to present your information in a concise and readable format. Tailor your Resume to the job you're applying for, ensuring the job titles, responsibilities, skills, and achievements match the requirements. Use bullet points to highlight skills and achievements, and be clear about your contributions to high-profile projects. Highlight relevant educational certificates and use recognizable keywords throughout the Resume. Pay attention to the layout and ensure there are no inconsistencies or unexplained time lapses. Lastly, format your Resume in a way that is easy to open and save it using your name in the saved title. A well-crafted Resume and accompanying cover letter will make you stand out among other applicants.

Q:
How many jobs should you put on your Resume?
A:

Job seekers should list their most recent and relevant experience - only the most relevant or valuable transferable skills and info should make the cut. It is important to tailor the Resume to the specific job being applied for, highlighting the experience and skills that best match the job description.
