Before you hire a resume writing service, it is worthwhile to check and see what will be provided for your payment. We can't speak for all resume writing services, but we can share what Revision Resume provides clients and how our process works. Let's examine a few questions that are commonly asked by prospective clients:
Why do I need a professional resume writer?
Why do you need an electrician instead of tackling those wires yourself? Because you don’t have any training and you could get hurt if you don’t! Most people are too busy in their careers to think much about their resume until they need one—right away. Most also do not have any insight into the mind of a hiring manager. Put those two things together and you get a missed opportunity. Revision Resume does the leg-work for you using our expertise of the craft and can help you navigate the high-stakes world of the job application process.
Why hire Revision Resume?
Revision Resume is a conscientious duo of hard-working professionals trained in resume writing and committed to keeping up with changing trends in the industry. We are not a content mill somewhere in cyberspace…we are two dedicated individuals whose goal is to help others land the interview that is the gateway to the next step in their career. Your documents, your needs--your job opportunity--will not be outsourced. Each and every one of our clients receives 100% of our attention.
What is your resume writing process?
First, we will send you an introductory email asking you to share some information so we can get started. If you happen to have a recent resume, that is very helpful as a jumping-off point. We also request you share specifics about the job (or type of job) you are applying for.
Next, we will set up a 1:1 meeting with you to inquire about the details. Typically we have this discussion via Zoom which has allowed us to help clients well over 1000 miles away! During this meeting, we will fill in any gaps that weren't provided in our initial request. Specific questions about the roles you held in previous jobs and how your skills are aligned for the position you are desiring will be asked. We want to learn about your achievements and successes so we can highlight them in detail on your resume!
Revision Resume will create a carefully crafted document - unique to you - that showcases your relevant job experience and skills to match the job opportunity you seek within 5 business days of our 1:1 meeting. Keywords will be intentionally embedded within the document to help Applicant Tracking Systems find your resume amongst all of the other applicants.
The document Revision Resume provides will be crisp, concise and professionally formatted. It will be free from typographical errors. You will be provided a PDF version and a text-only version allowing you to submit the resume through multiple methods.
What if I find changes to request after you provided the finished document?
No problem! We ask you notify us within 5 business days of receiving the finished document and we will be happy to make edits to meet your requests.
How will all of the private information I provide Revision Resume be handled?
Revision Resume will not release any of your information to any third parties or outside entities. Information provided by you will be kept 100% confidential and will only be used by our two writers to create outstanding career building documents. Every detail you provide us will be held in confidence and safeguarded. Your personal information will only be used to create career building documents or accept payment for our services.
Do you use subcontractors?
No, our two writers work exclusively with all clients to develop all career building documents. You will have our personal attention throughout the process.
How much do you charge for resume writing services?
It depends on your level of experience (i.e. how much there is to your resume) and what services you need. Most of the time Revision Resume can provide you with a ballpark figure/range during our first conversation. Please fill out our 'Request a Quote' form and we can discuss details with you to determine appropriate pricing for your individual needs.
We can help you stand out among the competition with our personalized approach. Revision Resume, based in the Rochester, NY area, works with job seekers one-on-one via Zoom to craft unique resumes and cover letters based on our professional knowledge of the most current industry standards. Whether you need your resume critiqued or one written from scratch, our goal is to help you land that interview!
