FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Resumes and cover letters are standard fees: --$80 for a completed or outdated resume that needs revision --$100 for a partial or not yet started resume --$20 extra add-on if you want the resume fitted to a fancy graphically designed template --$80 for generic cover letter --$100 for cover letter tailored to specific job posting. Academic papers are priced at $20/ hr and average about 4-5 hours for a 35-40 page paper. Papers that differ from that dramatically in length can also be priced at about $2.50 per page.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Resumes and cover letters are standard fees: --$80 for a completed resume that needs review or an outdated resume --$100 for a partial or not yet started resume --$20 extra add-on if you want the resume fitted to a fancy graphically designed template --$80 for generic cover letter --$100 for cover letter tailored to specific job posting. The client will indicate what they want and then email me their working drafts. If the client also desires a graphic template, I will send a link of options from which to choose. Then I'll do the work and send back the final draft(s)! Fifty percent of the total quote is required as a deposit before beginning, paid via PayPal or Venmo. The remaining balance is due upon receipt of the final product. Timelines are flexible and negotiated based on the needs of the client, with an average turnaround time of 2 days. Academic papers and other content will vary more than resumes and cover letters in the amount of time they require, so my rate is $20/hr. I like to discuss with the customer in advance what their current project is, their goals, and how much progress they've made.
