There are a lot of people – even websites – that say they can review your resume and cover letter for free.

“Upload here and get our feedback within two days!”

You will get a general opinion with just enough information to make you feel it was worthwhile.

Or make you feel like it was a gigantic waste of money.

They usually are.

Google any resume evaluation service, and I guarantee you will find tons of reviews where the client felt duped.

Not only did you spend that money, but you’re also back at square one.

Why do that to yourself?

Don’t take my word for it, though.

I don’t even want you to submit your request until you can ask yourself these three questions:

1. Is your resume easy to read and free of errors?
2. Is your latest position listed on your resume?
3. Are you getting interviews right now?

Let’s talk if you can’t say yes to any of these!

You need a resume writer if, in no particular order:

1. English is your second language, and words don’t come easy.
2. You’re unable to describe your accomplishments with complex data.
3. You’re uncomfortable with an Applicant Tracking System.
4. You’re uncomfortable with Microsoft Word or Google Docs and how to make them do what you want them to do.
5. You’re seeking mid-level or higher positions.
6. You need to frame your situation positively – stay-at-home mom seeking to jump back into the workforce, freelancer seeking steady employment, job-hopping.

You don’t need a resume writer if:

1. You recently graduated from high school or college. Ask a Manager is a treasure trove for FREE resume, cover letter advice, and how to navigate the workplace.
2. You’re in a creative field that prioritizes a portfolio over a traditional resume.
3. You have a data-centered resume on a readable template.
4. You plan to physically hand in your resume, typical of jobs that require paperwork to be filled out on the spot. Those are getting rare, but they continue to exist.

How much do you charge?

$30 USD. It includes 1 complimentary rewrite if you feel I didn’t fulfill your ideas.

I’m ready! How do I start the process?
