HOW IT WORKS
Our 5-Step-Process
Our collaborative writing process works for clients in any location and at any career stage.
1
You fill out our order form
You fill out our simple online form with your career goals and most recent resume (if you have one).
2
We assign your order
We assign your order to one of our experienced, U.S.-based writers (typically happens within 1-2 days, but orders can be expedited for a faster turnaround).
3
We update your resume
Your writer collaborates with you via email or phone to update your resume and answer any questions. If expedited, we guarantee the first draft of your resume will be completed within 48 hours of placing an order (or we'll refund you the expedited fee!).
4
You pay for your order
After you review the first draft of your new resume, you pay for your order. After payment is made, your writer offers up to 2 additional revisions to finalize your resume.
5
We complete your order
After your resume is finalized, your writer completes any additional services in your order (e.g. cover letter, LinkedIn profile).
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
When do I pay?For package orders: After you place an order, we'll send you the first draft of your new resume. You then pay for your order to move forward. After payment we provide up to two additional revisions of your resume and complete any additional services that you ordered (e.g. cover letter, LinkedIn profile, and career coaching). For all other orders (individual services / returning clients): You pay when placing an order.
-
How long does it take?The full process typically takes about 1-2 weeks to complete. However, any package can be expedited for $95 (paid up-front), in which case we guarantee the first draft of your resume will be completed within 48 hours of placing your order. If we don't deliver on that promise, we'll automatically refund you the expedited fee. Keep in mind that turnaround times vary based on (a) how much additional information we need to complete the order, (b) how many drafts we create, and (c) how much time it takes to communicate back and forth with the writer. Additionally, we do periodically receive a significant number of orders in a short period of time. This can result in some delays, though we continue to prioritize orders that have been expedited.
-
How do I communicate with my writer?Phone or email communication is available for all orders. Phone communication comes included in the Professional and Premium packages, while it costs an extra $25 to add to a Basic or Standard package.
