Create Your Resume - I've Done the Hiring.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  Pricing is based on your career level and what you need. A $20 deposit is required to start, and the rest is due when your project is complete and you are happy with it. Payment is accepted through PayPal or Venmo. If you pay by PayPal-secured invoice, you do not need a PayPal account to pay by card. Transitioning military service members receive a standing 10% discount on all resume products. There’s no need to ask, just mention it when you reach out. Add-ons include cover letters, LinkedIn profile optimization, interview prep packages, and reference page formatting, all with tiered pricing. Ask when you reach out and I will give you an exact quote based on what you need. There are no surprise charges. If your project turns out to need a higher tier than what you selected, I will catch it before work begins and walk you through it. Writing and study skills tutoring is billed at $30 per hour.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  Everything starts with a short intake form. You share your background, your target roles, and what is not working about your current resume, or tell me you are starting from zero. Either is fine. From there I review what you sent, ask any follow-up questions I need, and get to work. You will receive a draft, we refine it together until it fits, and the final version is delivered clean and ready to send. Most projects are done within a few business days. For tutoring, we start with your assignment or goal, where you feel stuck, and your deadline. Each session focuses on the skills that will help you most, and you leave with clear next steps. The whole process is remote and handled through written communication. No calls are required, though one can be scheduled if you would rather talk it through. Just clear, steady progress from start to finish.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I hold a BS in Computer Science and am currently completing my MBA, both through Rasmussen University, where I also work as a tutor. Because of that role, I do not take current Rasmussen University students for private tutoring. But the credential that actually matters most for resume writing is not a degree. Before I started Create Your Resume, I worked in high-volume hiring. I know what happens on the other side of the desk: what recruiters actually look for, what gets a resume moved to the yes pile, and what gets it skipped without a second glance. That experience is built into every resume I write. Over 11 years of working with clients at every career stage has sharpened that further. I have written resumes for students, career changers, senior leaders, federal applicants, and everyone in between.
