"Alison, this sounds great, but how much will it cost?"

Listen, I get it. A lot of people get sticker shock when they see the fee for a resume or package.

​

You may be wondering, can't I just do this myself? 

​

Sure, you absolutely can. But first, you'll need to weed through all the misinformation online to try to figure out:

​

• Do I use an Objective or a Professional Summary?

• Can my resume be more than one page?

• How the heck do I "quantify accomplishments" when I'm not in sales?

• Should I include every job I ever had?

• What do employers actually WANT to know about me?

​

Some people will get so paralyzed by writing their resume, or trying to figure out why their resume isn't working, that they won't even get their application in before the job posting closes.

​

Lots of people (even amazing writers) struggle with writing their resume because:

​

• It's not a natural way to write (e.g., excluding pronouns and focusing on accomplishments).

• They're not sure of the difference between an accomplishment and a duty.

• They hear different advice from friends/family and career coaching influencers online who all have conflicting opinions about what to put on their resume.

• It's too exhausting to think about while already working or taking care of other life obligations.

​

It's important to know when to delegate and outsource the tasks that are frustrating, confusing, annoying, and boring! If you're spending too much time and energy trying to figure out the perfect formula for a resume, it may be time to get some assistance!
