Frequently asked

Frequently Asked Questions About Resume Writing and Career Branding

Who do you work with?+

C-suite executives, senior leaders and high-level professionals across every industry, nationwide and internationally. Each engagement is built around your level, your field and the market you are targeting.

How does the process work?+

First, we have a set of worksheets that will help us collect the type of information that we need to help you stand out from your competition.

Then, we schedule a 30-to-60-minute phone consultation for strategic development and planning. Our expert resume writer will then begin drafting your job-winning resume.

At Haute Resume and Career Services we will go back and forth as many times as necessary until you are completely satisfied that your resume accurately reflects your professional background.

Is a professional resume writer worth it?+

Often, yes — and the honest test is your results, not your confidence. If strong resumes are producing silence, the document is the least expensive place to find the problem. What you are buying is not typing: it is twenty years of reading resumes the way hiring committees read them, and someone willing to say plainly where yours falls short. Angela's clients have reported doubling and even tripling their salary as a result of their strategic branding, so the fee is measured against the years of earning that follow. The Pricing page shows what each level of engagement includes.

What does a resume writer do?+

A resume writer reads your background the way a hiring committee does, then rebuilds the document around what that reader needs to see. Angela Jones starts with worksheets that collect the raw material — accomplishments, scope, metrics — then holds a 30-to-60-minute phone consultation for strategic development and planning. She drafts the resume, repositioning your experience as measurable results rather than a list of duties, and revises until you are completely satisfied. The work can extend to LinkedIn optimization, cover letters, interview and salary negotiation coaching, and resume distribution to recruiters. The resume samples show what the finished document looks like.

What does it cost?+

Pricing depends on where you are in your career. Mid-Level Management starts at $1,499, Senior Leadership at $1,999, and Executive Leadership at $2,999. C-Suite and board-level branding is quoted individually. The Pricing page lists exactly what each package includes.

What is the 12-Month Brand Assurance?+

Your investment keeps working. For 12 months after your project is complete, revisions to your existing resume are complimentary whenever something qualifying changes — a promotion or expanded responsibilities, new accomplishments, additional credentials, or a shift in career direction.

The assurance covers qualifying resume revisions, not employment outcomes — hiring decisions depend on many factors beyond the resume itself. Full details are on the Brand Assurance page and in the Terms and Conditions.
