Yes! Our clients frequently let us know that they see greater attention, land more interviews, and have better success landing better jobs after using our service. We can’t control the entire job market or guarantee the results you’ll see when you send out your new resume, but we can guarantee our work within the trends of resume best practices and within the standards sought after by recruiters and hiring managers.

There’s a huge gamut of service levels in the resume writing industry, so you’re not alone in worrying about the quality of service you’ll receive. At RedRocketResume, you’ll work one-on-one with an expert resume writer (either Angela or one of my hand-picked writers) from start to finish. Once you make your order, you’ll hear from your writer right away, and we’ll never be more than an email or phone call away. If you ever have any concerns, please contact Angela directly: angela@redrocketresume.com

Nope. Even if you have a great LinkedIn profile (and you should!), even if you’ll land your next job via your professional network, even in the fast-moving tech sectors—a resume remains an indispensable career development tool. Very few positions are filled without a resume. Even internal placements often require a resume to document to candidates’ qualifications and justify their pay scale.

Well, you can, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Resumes are a tricky genre with a lot of quirks and ever-changing rules and trends. So it’s invaluable to have someone who knows the ins and outs of what really works in today’s markets.

We often write resumes for people who write marketing copy for a living and who recognize a.) it’s worth the investment to present a strong resume and b.) it’s really hard to write about yourself in an impersonal, promotional tone. At RedRocketResume, we can guide you through the process of identifying your personal brand and making sure it comes through in your resume.

All we really need is some basic information about your work history. Most people send a copy of their old resume. A couple job postings of interest are also very helpful.

You’re in luck. All our services come with unlimited revisions. Email your writer any changes or questions, or schedule a phone call to discuss. Your writer will work with you until you’re 100% happy with your new resume.

There are two caveats here:

First, we ask that you communicate your revisions to us within one week so your writer can keep you and your resume fresh in mind.

Second, we’ll provide revisions as needed to completed this version of your resume. If your job target or specifications change or you need a second version of your resume (for example, if you’re interested in two types of jobs), your writer will discuss add-on fees.

First of all, you can’t scare us with a bad resume. We’ve seen them all.

But for clients whose existing resumes are way outdated or nonexistent, we have a simple worksheet you can use to brainstorm the basic data about your last ten years of work history. Remember, we’re here to do the heavy lifting, so don’t worry about crafting comprehensive or eloquent responses on the worksheet. Just give us the basic what-when-wheres and we’ll take it from there!

Typically about a week. Your writer will review the information you submit, then you and your writer will to schedule a phone call. Typically your writer will give you a chance to review the first resume draft before working on your LinkedIn profile. If you’re facing an application deadline or other time constraint, just let us know.

We offer a 24-hour Express turnaround and 2-day turnaround, pending writer availability. Contact us for more information on fees.

You’ll receive both a PDF and an editable Word doc of your new resume. These are the two formats most likely to be requested in a job application, and the ones most compatible with ATS systems. 

Unless you’re a graphic designer showcasing your work, we don’t recommend a super-designed resume. Here’s why:

First, ATS systems can’t read columns or text boxes, so a fancy resume often won’t reach a human reader.

Second, the traditional resume format functions like shorthand for a hiring manager or HR pro. It allows them to quickly find the information they need right where they expect to find it.

Based on consistent feedback from our career coach and recruiter partners, we create resumes that hit a happy medium: modern, attractive design within the established conventions with proven results.
