FAQs
FAQs:
What do you think is important to focus on when writing a resume? I focus on experiences and achievements in the last 10-15 years (for a multitude of reasons). If you don't think you have any achievements, think again! I will help you find something to showcase.
Do I have to complete a questionnaire? Yes, but you will get your required phone support as well, if you want it. The questionnaire helps me focus our strategy call and the direction of your project, so be prepared to spend some time on it. You will get out of the process exactly what you put into it.
I need my resume faster; can I pay extra to expedite the process? I do not offer rush services, so if you are in a hurry, I am not the writer for you. I want to spend an appropriate amount of time working on your resume to showcase you in the best light, and I won't let an unexpected client take time or attention away from your project.
Why do you charge so much? 2 reasons.
A lot more time goes into crafting a really solid resume than you may think. I will spend 6 to 10 hours on your project in total over the course of your project, depending on the services you choose. This time includes reviewing your background materials, facilitating your strategy call, analyzing my notes from that call, writing and proofreading the initial documents, performing industry & keyword research, emailing you back and forth with homework, updates, etc., reviewing your revisions (by phone or email), and making changes or edits. Since I don't work full time for a salary with benefits, I have to put an hourly rate on my work that allows me to keep doing this job. Do you work for free? I didn't think so.
I have invested a lot of time and money gaining certifications and remaining up to date on trends and best practices. You are investing in your career; shouldn't you choose someone who has done the same? There are cheaper writers out there, and some of them may be good, but when you choose a verifiable CPRW, you know you are getting a professional.
