  5. Resume writing & revisions – after I provide you with your initial resume draft, if you want any changes, I’ll work with you to revise it until you love the document.
  6. Electronic files of your resume in Microsoft Word and plain text (and PDF if desired), e-mailed to you and also stored electronically by my firm indefinitely.
  7. Wrap session – a training session at the end of the project to share my recommendations for next steps in your job search, trends for you to be aware of, pitfalls to avoid, and secrets of getting screened in by employers’ resume screening software.

You’ll also receive these bonuses with your package:

I can counsel you regarding which solutions might make sense for your situation.

Investment

You investment in yourself and your career will vary depending on your career level and specific needs. Every project is unique, so I need to assess your situation before giving you a quote (I can do this very quickly, though!).

My clients’ investments typically range from $500 to $1,200+, depending on the client’s background and what’s included in the package.

Please contact me for a complimentary 15-minute consultation; once I know a little bit about your background and target, I can provide you with a personalized quote.

  • If you’re considering going with a low-cost resume provider, you might want to read these words of caution.

I highly recommend Kelly's services and will be referring friends to her." -Phil F., Director of Business Development, Los Angeles metro area (via LinkedIn)

“I hired Kelly to revamp my resume in 2008, and shortly afterwards got a great job in a new city. Then, in 2010, when I was ready to move back to the Phoenix area, her services and products helped me again. I was thrilled to land my current job... I know Kelly’s help has contributed to my job search success!” -Ellen D., Membership Director, Phoenix, Ariz. (via LinkedIn)
