Our team of resume writers has experience serving clients of nearly every industry. As a professional resume company based in Philadelphia, we partner with experts across the US, who have unique skills sets. We’ll match you to the resume expert that is the best fit. It is rare that we do not have experience in your line of work, and if that occurs we will be upfront before getting started.

»   Can I visit your location in-person / do you serve customers on-site?

»   Are full refunds available?

Yes - although it is uncommon, clients may receive a 100% refund prior to accepting their final product, should they not be satisfied through the revision process. Please review our client service agreement for more details.

»   Can you update/add to my existing resume, instead of creating a new one?

It's often more effective to create a new, more compelling resume than edit or add to an existing resume. We understand, however, that each client has their own unique situation and needs. So, we are happy to work from your existing resume, if that is your preference. Please contact us for more information.

»   Can I request a specific resume writer?

Yes! If you know of a specific resume writer on our team, please indicate their name when contacting us! Many of our clients are referrals and prefer to work with the writer that served their colleague, friend, family member, etc. Otherwise, we will aim to pair you with a senior resume writer that has experience in your industry or line of work.

»   Do you offer student or military discounts?

Yes! Please contact us for more information about our discounts for military service members/veterans and students.

»   Are custom packages available?

Yes! We frequently design custom packages and off-menu options for our clients based on their unique needs. Please speak with us for more information and a custom quote.

»   Will my professional resume writer be certified?

Yes, most of our resume/cover letter writers are certified by a resume writing association. More importantly, our resume experts are accomplished and highly rated by their clients — and it’s not uncommon for a writer to have already developed more than 1,000 resumes across their career. We partner with only those who maintain our high quality, integrity, and client service standards.

»   What will I need to get started?

After your no-cost consultation, we'll send you the invoice with a click-through service agreement and a web form to submit information about the jobs that you are targeting. Once these items are completed, your professional resume writer will schedule the Discovery call to collect all of the information they'll need to author the first draft of your resume.

»   Can I start with the Essentials Package and upgrade later?

Yes! Many of our clients choose the Essentials package and then upgrade to Premium down the line. We'll simply invoice you for the difference between the two packages at that point.

»   Will I need to complete a lengthy questionnaire?

Absolutely not! Although some services require lengthy questionnaires, our resume/cover letter writers do the heavy lifting for you. Your writer will need only about 30-60 minutes of time over the phone, and may ask for additional information after the first draft is delivered. The more collaborative the writer-client relationship, the better the final product.
