Resume FAQs
During the Summer months (May-July), the average turnaround time for resumes is approximately 4-6 weeks. (Specific time will be noted on your estimate.) This allows us to thoroughly research and tailor each project to your specific job search and to you as a unique professional. During peak months (August-April), there is a wait list for services. Please contact us to discuss your project and to secure a spot on our schedule.
Beware of any online big-box resume companies who promise you a resume within a few days. These are usually “cut and paste” resumes, which is where they take jargon and cliche resume buzz words, cut them from one resume, and pepper them throughout your resume to a point that it becomes hard to read. They are not keyword specific, have a lot of grammatical and spelling errors, and are not modern designs or layouts. Good writing and designing takes time, and we respect your time and your vision.

We do not offer printing services for resumes or any other projects. Your resume documents will be provided to you in .pdf and .docx file formats. A high quality printer is recommended for optimal print quality. A higher weight paper is generally not necessary but is certainly acceptable if you wish to bring copies of your resume to interviews or job fairs.
No, and anyone that tells you that they can is speaking out of turn.
What we can guarantee is what we are responsible for, and that is making sure you have a beautifully structured, professionally written, modern resume. Once your resume is selected for an interview, the rest is up to you. Although we can’t go with you on your interviews, we can give you some tips in the next question bubble below.
- Establish an online presence. At the bare minimum, have an updated LinkedIn profile. If you can’t be found online, it implies a potential lack of tech savvy or a lack of transparency, even if that wasn’t your intention.
- Research the company. It is the entire point of your interview as far as the company is concerned, so be sure to do your homework.
- Do research on the people interviewing you. Use their names to address them during the interview. This goes a long way.
- Dress appropriately for the industry. If you aren’t sure, go there and observe how others are dressed. Is it casual? If so, business casual might be appropriate. Is it very professional in nature? Wear a suit or dress. You will need to adjust your wardrobe depending on the overall dynamic and culture of the company. When in doubt, always overdress and wear neutral colors.
- Arrive earlier than you need to. Late always looks bad, even if it’s for a really good reason. If you’ve never been there before, do a practice drive a few days before your interview.
- Bring a bottle of water and pop a breath mint before you go in. You don’t want to be remembered as “coughing girl” or “bad breath guy.” (However, Jennifer E. Free once wore a fancy headband to an interview and was hired despite being dubbed “headband girl.” So there’s that.)
- Speak well and don’t use slang or improper grammar during your interview. Example: yes instead of yea, nuclear not nucular, you not yinz.
- Everyone likes a post-interview Thank You email or handwritten card. It will never work against you and will always leave a good impression.
Dress appropriate to the industry and the climate of the workplace for which you are applying. Tired of your boring old interview suit? Check out our Pinterest style boards for some fresh spins on traditional attire.
Payment in full is due at the time of contract signing. We accept Venmo, PayPal, Cash, and Check.
