Resume
Individual Contributor: $450
Senior Executive Service (5-Page Format): $600
Federal resumes can be quite cumbersome. It really depends on how many roles we need to display.
You will get:
1 resume document with 1 target. The target can be a specific job function or a certain industry. Sometimes related industries or roles can be combined into the same target (ex: Logistics and Supply Chain).
1 X 60-minute strategy call before writing begins. This is where we discuss the target you've identified, your achievements, and your experience based on your intake questionnaire and supporting documents.
2 rounds of revisions. This can be done through email or 2 shorter calls. Most clients choose email for revisions and notes.
1 basic interview guide.
1 to 2 paragraphs per ECQ (SES resumes only). The 5 ECQs: Leading Change, Leading People, Results Driven, Business Acumen, Building Coalitions are written in a CCAR (Challenge-Context-Action-Result) format. You will need to provide the information for these, but I will wordsmith them for you.
