Introduction: I conduct a complimentary resume review and audio recorded Mock Interview for every potential client I speak with. In other words there is no cost for anyone to take advantage of this initial service. At the very least a person gets to hear how they sound in a simulated interview scenario along with a professional resume review. It means that each potential client gets at least 45 minutes of my time free regardless of whether they use my service or not. I find it challenging and fun to utilize all the skills I have developed over the course of my career to help assist people to effectively market their backgrounds and accelerate their careers.

I asked Mark to write my resume and do a cover letter. The draft he gave me was mostly cut and pasted from the job description I gave him. He even included the company's name, which made the draft look as if I had worked there. It was filled with spelling and formatting errors. There was no indication of what the final resume would look like. It was a complete mess and he told me it was 90% completed. I have worked with resume writers before and I have never seen anything so unusable. I did not have any confidence that he could write a cover letter or finish my resume. I cut my losses and had to lose my $100 deposit on a $250 contract he made me sign. For young people just out of school and who do not know the difference he may be able to offer interviewing tips and write a bare bones resume. Which does seem to be his preferred market. If anyone would like to see the draft I would be happy to email it to you.

I have been very fortunate to know Mark for many years. He is without a doubt the most creative, knowledgable, and up to date coaches I know. We live in a very competitive and challenging world. If we want to stand above the crowd, we need an edge. The best edge. Working with Mark will provide that critical edge.

I first met Mark over 5 years ago for a interview coaching session. Mark provided sound advice which I have successfully used since that time. Currently, I have engaged Mark to review and assist me in updating my resume and cover letter. Mark has provided excellent feedback and we updated my resume for substance and presentation to focus on employer needs. The updated cover letter Mark suggested is unique and has provided many more responses than I have historically received. Overall, I highly recommend Mark Suss as a resume writer and interview preparation expert.

Mark completely revamped my resume and cover letter to the most attractive and expected style employers want today. And he did it very quickly. His cover letter style is set apart from all others, it really pinpoints your skills that match what the employer is looking for. His resume style really stands out, easy to read and highlights your skills beautifully. 5 STARS FOR SURE!!!

Mark met with our son when he first graduated from the University of Washington. With resume and interviewing coaching, our son found a great job in the Washington D.C. area.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My theory is that one size does not fit all. I look at each person I engage with as an individual with their own unique needs and adapt my style and principles to that individual. Generally my fees range from $300-400.00 per resume and $50-75.00 per cover letter. Interview coaching is at a rate of $275.00 per hour (generally 2 hour minimum but will offer substantial discounts to clients who utilize me for both resume writing and coaching). Additionally I offer complimentary follow up coaching as needed for up to 1 year after services are rendered. Another unique aspect of my services is that I have a partner who also has over 20 years of resume experience which gives you the client the extra advantage of having 2 sets of ideas and eyes formulating your resume.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process is conducting an initial phone conversation to discuss their current situation in their job search. This includes: what their job search process has been thus far, interview experience, sending me a copy of their resume and key areas they would like to focus on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I bring 32 years of interview coaching, resume writing experience and executive search experience. I along with my former search staff have read, revised and written from scratch 10's of 1000's of resumes and worked with 10's of 1000's of clients in their job search.
