Timing

For Your Executive Resume & LinkedIn Profile Package

Calendar for executive resume writing

Timing Depends on the Type of Project

Collaborative Executive Resume & LinkedIn Projects (recommended)

As fast as ~2.5 weeks total lead time and project time; average timeline of ~4 weeks for clients who are working executives

These days, I work on many projects through a series of collaborative Zoom sessions with each client. This allows us to move at your pace and enables greater efficiency for creating your executive resume and LinkedIn profile.

  • If you’d like to move quickly and are flexible with your availability, we could be squared away within 2 weeks.
  • If you’re not in a big hurry or have a busy schedule, a 3- to 6-week timeline is a reasonable expectation.
  • We’re usually able to start this type of project within a week of our free consultation.

Conventional Executive Resume & LinkedIn Projects

Approx. 7-8 weeks total lead time and project time

With a conventional project, it can take a little bit longer factoring in the project timeline as well as lead time.

  • After we start your project, expect a total of about 5 weeks from start to finish (the typical turnaround time from our first Zoom session to a first draft averages about 12-14 business days, followed by ~2 weeks for review, editing, and creation of additional documents included in the package).
  • In terms of lead time, it might take about 2-3 weeks to get into my queue for this type of project.

Coaching services

  • Timelines for coaching depend on you; we’re able to move at your pace. I can probably carve out time for multiple sessions in a week if needed or desired–but you might need more time to make progress on your action items between sessions.
  • If there are coaching sessions included in your package (for job search or interview prep), these usually begin after your resume and LinkedIn profile are complete.
