Professional resume writing services cost varies based on project
Your investment level for professional resume writing services and LinkedIn optimization services are determined by project scope, so the following information is required to provide accurate pricing:
- Length of work history
- Number of positions held
- Level of position sought (recent grad, experienced professional, management, or executive)
- Industry & project complexity
Think A Professionally Written Resume Isn’t In Your Budget?
Resume writing services are an investment in your career growth and future income–just like other career essentials like professional development courses, association memberships, and interview attire. With this in mind, consider how much every day you spend conducting a job search costs you in lost income:
- If your annual salary is $50,000, you’re losing nearly $4200 each month.
- If you’re earning $100,000 annually, you’re losing just over $8300 per month.
- At a $150,000 salary, you’re losing $12,500 every month you spend job hunting.
If you land a position even one week sooner than you otherwise would have or with a minimal pay increase, your investment in professional resume writing services more than pays for itself.
Please see the below list of a la carte resume writing services and prices for a basic guideline and contact us for a specific price quote on your project.
Be sure to include a copy of your most recent resume and links to 2-3 job listings that represent your current employment target to receive your custom quote.
Discounts are available for packages–we strongly suggest you take advantage of these to obtain the greatest value and ensure consistent branding across all career communications and media platforms, including your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile.
A few of the services we offer in addition to our complete resume packages include:
What Does Your LinkedIn Profile Really Say About You?
Is your LinkedIn profile getting the attention of recruiters and hiring managers? Does the headline grab the reader’s attention, clarify your brand, and contain the right keywords to drive searches? Does the summary tell your career story in a compelling way and highlight the value you offer a potential employer?
If you answered no to these questions, or if your LinkedIn profile currently looks like a copy-and-pasted version of your resume, consider an overhaul!
An effective LinkedIn presence is a key component of any job search, especially since more networking and hiring has shifted online in recent years. A search-optimized LinkedIn profile empowers you with the tools to broaden your reach, share your expertise, and build valuable relationships. It also grants you access to unadvertised jobs. 
Did you know:
- LinkedIn currently includes more than 58 million companies and more than 875 million individual users, including executives from every Fortune 500 company.
- Surveys consistently find that more than 90% of recruiters use social media to find job candidates. LinkedIn is the primary source for both recruiting and vetting candidates.
- Recruiters and employers use social media to judge communication skills, culture fit, and tech savvy, all key to hiring decisions.
- Resumes uploaded to LinkedIn profiles are not searchable by recruiters.
- More than 40% of LinkedIn users are Managers, Directors, Owners, Vice Presidents or Chief Officers.
Unfortunately many job seekers are under the mistaken impression that just by setting up a basic profile with default settings, including current job title and company as a headline, and listing jobs and graduation years, they have a “LinkedIn presence”.
LinkedIn isn’t just an “online resume”! Like all social media, it’s about starting a conversation.
So whether you’re actively searching for a new position, or just seeking to expand your professional networking opportunities, let us help you maximize this powerful marketing tool by developing a branded, search-optimized profile and teaching you how to make the most of it.
“Tell Me About Yourself…”
Been a while since your last interview? Whether you just need to brush up your skills, develop your accomplishment stories, or are just not sure how to answer the dreaded “Tell me about yourself” question, we can help you prepare a strategy so that you can go into your interview feeling confident.
Have your career goals changed?
