FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer three packages, all with customizable thank you letters: Package 1 is $25. This package is for the person that needs to update an existing resume or has a draft that they want me to work from. Package 2 is $35. This package is for the person that needs a cover letter in addition to the item in Package 1. Package 3 is $50. This package is for someone who has never had a resume, possibly never had a job or a lengthy time out of the workforce, and needs extensive help to create a resume that potential employers will read; it also includes a cover letter. Note: Cover letters offered in my packages are generic, customizable which means you can use them for any position/company you are applying for. If you want a customizable, targeted cover letter, I can include one for $10. Targeted resumes are package costs plus $20.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I try to find out what my clients are hoping to accomplish with my services- what the end result is. Some clients are just looking to have an updated resume on file 'just in case', while others are in the market for a new job, reentering the workforce, or just starting out in the workforce. It helps to establish what your clients want because a resume can't be cookie cutter because people aren't.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a diploma in creative writing as well as certification as a copywriter. I also do various copywriting projects for my full time job as sales manager for two hotel chains and take a variety of continuing education classes through those outlets to keep up on standards of writing, communication, and expression. I am a member of the Association of Freelance Writers and I own a Facebook blog (@lovetofork) where I write reviews of restaurants that my husband and I have eaten at on our travels around the U.S. In addition, I volunteer my time to The World Needs More Love Letters which is an organization that sends letters to people in need of smiles.
