FAQ
Why Hire a Professional Resume Writer?
Simply put, there is nothing more painful than writing a resume. We know, because we do it every day. “What do I include?” “What do recruiters read?” “How does my resume get noticed?” There is no end to the questions you can ask. Having an expert partner who can walk you through the process is critical for something as important as finding your next job.
What Makes Freedom Resumes Different?
We listen. We take detailed notes. We have long conversations. All because we develop resumes that successfully market our clients in their own voices. Nothing is canned, and you can always get one of our resume experts on the phone. Because having a partner you can trust makes all the difference.
How Long Does The Process Take?
That depends. Typically, we deliver a first draft within 3 days of our initial conversation and a final draft 2 days after that. Need it sooner? Let us know and we’ll make sure you have what you need, as soon as you need it.
How Many Pages Should My Resume Be?
ONE! We only write one page resumes. The reality is that recruiters and HR managers are NOT spending time reading your resume. Successfully marketing your 20+ years of experience in one page, says that you are confident, precise, know how to sell yourself, and can separate the wheat from the chaff. Skills you will need in any job.
