The Write Solution    RESUMES: Why hire a professional resume writer? Some job seekers underestimate the value of a professionally crafted resume and look at it as only a "piece of paper." However -- think about this: A $1 bill and a $1000 bill are "just paper" too. But, like a resume, their value is determined by what is printed on that paper! Invest in your future. Invest in yourself.

Customized Package Rates - To be determined Rush Service - add $50.00 to any package ********************************************* PLEASE NOTE: Frequently, I am asked to "just update" résumés written by the client or another resume writer. Due to the diversity in writing styles, verbiage and constantly evolving formatting techniques, I usually DO NOT OFFER THIS SERVICE for resumes I have not written. I will entertain requests of this nature, BUT experience proves it is much more cost effective for clients to return to the original writer for their updates OR have me create a new career sales and marketing document from scratch. Returning clients have the option of updating resumes I WROTE at an hourly rate or creating a new document to facilitate a change in career paths. BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE & SUPPORT: $60.00 per hour with quarter hour billing Customized Project Rates - To be determined I require payment in full after the information gathering consultation and prior to starting work on your custom career documents. PayPal is the preferred payment method. A money order or bank certified check sent via a traceable third-party carrier is an acceptable payment option, however, work does not start until payment is received. I no longer accept personal checks.
