About My Pricing

How much does it cost to hire a professional resume writer?

I get this question a lot, and to be honest, most people are scared off when I tell them how much it costs to have their resumes done by a professional. On average, the cost of resume writing can range anywhere from $100 to $3,000. Of course, this depends on each client's career level and years of experience.

Below are examples of pricing tiers offered by larger corporate resume-writing service companies:

Entry-Level Resume Cost: $100 - $300 (0-2 years work experience)

Mid-Level Resume Cost: $300 - $700 (2-5 years work experience)

Professional Resume Cost: $300 - $700 (5-10 years work experience)

Executive Resume Cost: (10+ years’ work experience) $700 - $1000

C- Level (CEO, CFO, COO titles) Resume Cost: (10+ years’ work experience) $1000-$3000

If you think the pricing above is too expensive, you're right! Larger resume-writing service companies can be quite costly. I offer lower prices and a more personal touch with my services. I don't want my clients to break the bank to succeed.

If you think my prices are still too high, you must consider the time, attention to detail, and formatting it takes to have a well-written resume. Paying for a well-written resume is an investment in your career, and hiring a professional resume writer can offer a substantial return on your investment by getting you noticed. I am happy to offer lower prices than my competitors, and I think of this as my investment in YOU!

So why hire a professional resume writer? Professional resume writers are up to date with the latest recruiting trends and can help you avoid any outdated phrases or formatting issues, therefore improving your chances of getting your skills, experience, and background noticed more by hiring managers.

Your resume doesn't have to outline everything you've ever accomplished professionally. When recruiters or hiring managers look at your resume, they usually look for short information highlighting your most significant achievements and experience. A professional resume writer can help sift through your qualifications, experience, and accomplishments and narrow them down to the highlights of your career. They also know how to format your information to increase readability. If you struggle to write your accomplishments and experiences concisely, a professional resume writer might be right for you.

Top 6 reasons why you should use a professional resume writer:

1. You're not a Writer

We all have special talents, but writing is not one of them for some people. If you struggle to formulate sentences, use proper grammar, or convey your work history in a palatable fashion, you need a resume writer's help. Professional resume writers use the right words and phrases to ensure your resume is noticed. They don't just proofread your resume, they format, design and display your talents in a manner that will get you noticed by hiring managers. They also know which verbiage to use to push through the electronic filters known as ATS or Applicant Tracking Systems to get directly to the recruiter or hiring manager posting the job.

2. Industry Expertise

Professional resume writers assist in identifying positions that you are qualified for and ones that pique your career interest, which helps avoid getting pulled into the applying for "every job known to man" approach.

3. Aligning Your Resume to the Job Description

Professional resume writers are wizards at emphasizing your most relevant skills, experiences, and accomplishments. They will ensure that your resume details focus on your goals and align with the job descriptions.

4. Eliminating “Red Flags”

Resume writers know what to include and not to include on your resume. They know all the “red flags” that result in hiring managers passing over candidates. They know how to minimize the damage of things like job jumping and gaps in employment while highlighting your significance as an employee.

5. Recognizing Your Worth

Professional resume writers help you realize your true worth as a valuable employee. They go over your experience with a fine-toothed comb and ask detailed questions about things you have done. Most of the time, it means helping people recognize their worth in themselves.

6. Proficiency in Writing

Resume writers know how to tell the story of your journey and make it shine. How you tell a story is just as important as what you say. They also stay current with industry standards and ensure your resume is professional and error-free. Formally formatted, easy-to-read, and professionally written resumes are essential if you want to be taken seriously by hiring managers. Professional resume writers also compose, format, and proofread all your documents for you. Therefore, in the end, you can send your resume out with absolute confidence.
