Timing
For Your Executive Resume & LinkedIn Profile Package
Timing Depends on the Type of Project
Collaborative Executive Resume & LinkedIn Packages
Moves at your pace with completion in as little as 2 weeks
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, in addition to numerous other benefits described in greater detail on my Services page.
- If you’d like to move quickly and are flexible with your availability, we could be squared away within 2 weeks from whenever we start.
- For clients who are busy and aren’t in a rush to finish, timelines of 3-5 weeks are typical.
- We’re usually able to start this type of project within a week of our free consultation.
Conventional Executive Resume & LinkedIn Packages
Approx. 5-week turnaround once we begin; lead time to get started varies
With a conventional project, it can take a little bit longer to complete your executive resume and LinkedIn profile, 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 (~12-14 business days to get a first draft, followed by ~10-12 business days for review, editing, and creation of additional documents included in the package).
- In terms of lead time, it might take a while to get into my queue for this type of project; this will depend on current availability.
LinkedIn-Only Projects
These can proceed faster than the timing for typical packages that include an executive resume and LinkedIn profile. A collaborative LinkedIn-only project can wrap up within 1.5 weeks if you have a flexible schedule for collaboration.
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.
