Why would I pay for this when I can just write my own résumé?

The hiring manager’s assessment of you as a person and a candidate for the position will be solely based on your résumé. If you weren’t an artist you wouldn’t paint your own self-portrait, would you? You would let a person with artistic skills and experience paint it for you. That’s where we come in.

Why isn’t my current résumé good enough?

A decision is made within the first 11 seconds of reading your résumé, and our team of experts is here to help you make every second count. We offer an individualized approach to each résumé request and only accept orders in which we know our services will be beneficial to the client.

Not all hiring managers/companies are the same. How do I know your methods will work?

Yes, not all people are the same, but you can agree that most people have the same tendencies. For example, you would tend to avoid an obnoxious sound and prefer something more comfortable. The research is based on human tendencies. Most hiring managers prefer to see résumés that are built using this format. If they like your résumé over the others, then you are more likely to get the interview.

We also employ career consultants who have an extensive history in human resources and recruiting in a variety of fields. We will match you with a team member who is the best fit for you and your desired industry.
