Best when your facts and target are clear and you want to control the edits, exports, and job-specific tailoring yourself.
Career services buying guide
Choose the amount of resume help you actually need.
A job search can need a clean tool, a focused second pair of eyes, or a full career-story rewrite. Start with the target, the gap, and the deliverable—not the loudest promise.
Disclosure: this guide links to ResumeATS, a service I operate. The $99 concierge option is a direct service offer, not an affiliate link. No resume service can guarantee interviews, offers, or a particular employer’s decision; review the scope, facts, revisions, turnaround, refund terms, and privacy details before paying.
$99 concierge
Best when one target job needs a focused cleanup, tailoring pass, and ATS-readable PDF and Word copies without buying a broader package.
Broader support
Best when your story, role direction, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, or career transition needs deeper strategy and multiple deliverables.
1. Name the target job
Use one real job description when possible. A resume that tries to speak to every role usually becomes vague, repetitive, and harder to evaluate.
2. Separate facts from positioning
Confirm dates, titles, metrics, tools, and responsibilities first. Then improve ordering, wording, and emphasis without inventing achievements or credentials.
3. Check the actual deliverables
Ask whether you receive an editable Word file, a PDF, a targeted version, revision access, and a clear handoff. Do not confuse a visual preview with a usable application file.
4. Review ATS readability
Use conventional headings, selectable text, consistent dates, and a layout that survives parsing. ATS compatibility is a practical formatting goal, not a guarantee of ranking or employment.
5. Protect personal information
Share only what the service needs, understand who can access the documents, and check retention, deletion, payment, and refund terms before uploading sensitive career history.
