  • How Do The Resume & Cover Letter Writing Processes Work?
    After placing your order, you will receive an email that will direct you to an order form where you can either attach your existing resume, complete a short questionnaire, or choose to do both. Once we receive your submitted form, we will determine the team who will be assigned to work on your resume. We typically reach out to you within 24 hours after receiving your information. On the first screen, at the check out you'll be able to select standard or rush delivery and on the next screen, you'll be able to make payment on our secure form via any major credit card. Immediately, you will receive a unique order ID # (via email receipt) that you can use when corresponding with our staff via telephone, email, or our client services interface. Your assigned lead writer will reach out to you to introduce themselves. If you have no further questions, your resume will arrive via email in both PDF and Word format. Throughout the resume writing process, you will be able to correspond directly with your assigned writing team, add additional services, maintain and update your submitted files, and more. After your order is complete, you have the chance to review it and let us know if you want to make any changes or revisions.
