Resume Critique: $75.00

Why It's Worth It

My resume critiques are so detailed that they average five pages in length. But don't let the number of pages scare you. I organize my critiques working from the top of your document, down, so that the information is easy to follow, understand and apply.

If your resume is in good shape, I'll tell you so. If it needs work, I'll tell you exactly what it needs, why it needs it, where it needs it, and how to achieve the best results - using your material as a guide.

"I would like to thank you again for your advice. I just got back from an interview which was scheduled days after I made the changes that you recommended, and I have others scheduled. Your service was really invaluable. Thanks again!" - Matthew M. (Tacoma, WA)

There are a lot of resume services that will provide a resume critique for free. They may tell you if your resume works, or doesn't, but that is where they stop. Their critique services are primarily use to encourage potential clients to purchase additional services - to get you to spend more money.

As a paid service, I am able to give clients all the information they need, without the need to use critiques as a marketing tool. My critiques are so detailed that you should be able to successfully rewrite your resume on your own. I provide real examples using your information as a guide. I even offer to review your revised version at no additional charge, with additional help provided in the final formatting and layout.

"I'm bowled over! Thank you so very much for these excellent suggestions. I also appreciate your kind words in telling me I have a good start on my resume. I will work on the revisions and forward you the revised version next week. And thank you again for your help. That was, without question, the best [$] I've ever spent!" - Christine E. (Phoenix, Arizona) E-mail me to get started.

What You Receive

I will review your resume document with particular attention to content, target focus (taking your specific reader into account - the types of positions and companies you want to target), organization of material, visual quality, and strength of the written presentation. I will also review your document for syntax, grammar, punctuation and spelling.

I will review your document for its effectiveness in marketing you to your targeted positions. I always critique resumes from the reader's point-of-view (hiring manager). Not only do I stay in regular contact with hiring directors in a wide range of industries - and understand what they want to see in the resumes of potential candidates - I also read a lot of resumes. I see poor, good and excellent resumes every day. I know which ones catch - and do not catch - my attention - and why.

"Thank you , I truly think you did a superior job on my resume critique, above and beyond what I had expected. Again Thank You." - Dennis K. (Union City, Michigan)

If your resume is in good shape, I will tell you so. If it needs work, I will tell you exactly what it needs - and will provide you with good examples that you can follow and apply to your document.

If your resume needs work, you should be able to manage the rewrite on your own using the suggestions I provide (my critiques are very, very detailed). However, if you decide that you would like me to write and design your resume for you, I will be glad to apply the paid critique fee to your resume package fee, as a credit.

This is a very personalized service, and I maintain strict client confidentiality.

"All I can say is Wow! I just got a chance to open up email today and looked at this incredible critique. Later today I will go to work on it and see how it looks. Thank you so very much." - Heather P. (Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida)

How This Works

I will have you send your resume to me by e-mail. I will ask you what types of positions and companies you plan to target, and ask about any particular questions or concerns you may have regarding your current job search. Most resume critiques are completed within 24 hours of receiving the order and materials. And I do work weekends! E-mail me to get started.

"Thank you very much. You went well above and beyond my expectations. You do great work and I will be sending people your way. Thank you very kindly; it was well worth it." - Jeremey H. (Antioch, Tennessee)
