Frequently asked questions

What are the benefits of a professionally written resume .

When you work with a resume writing service, you’re investing in a quicker job search and a more fruitful and satisfying career. To have job search success, your resume has to appeal to both the  resume scanning software and the hiring manager — or else you risk getting lost in the resume black hole where your job application is dismissed without consideration because of your resume .

How does the resume process work?

The resume process begins with us getting to know you and learning about your history and career goals. Once we’ve learned more about you, we’ll match you with a writer knowledgeable about your industry.

The resume process is simple! First, submit your existing resume or provide your career details. You’ll fill out an intake survey to provide your writer with accurate elements for your document. Then you’ll collaborate with a professional writer to craft a tailored resume . Finally, you’ll review and refine the draft to ensure it aligns with your career goals. Leaving you with a polished resume that showcases your strengths and maximizes your job search potential!

What qualifications do TopResume writers have?

We have a network of over 1,200 writers, including certified career coaches, former and current hiring managers, HR professionals, recruiters and professionals with specialized experience in over 65 industries. This ensures we can match each client with an expert who is a strong match for their needs. TopResume recruits and vets our writers based upon the value they can bring to our clients.

How do I collaborate with my resume writer?

Our resume -writing process is collaborative between the writer and the client. We use your old resume as a primary source of information. If you don’t have a resume , don’t worry — your writer will send you a brief questionnaire that will request all the information we need to get started. Once this has been provided, your new resume will be delivered to you in about a week. Then, you'll have another week to provide feedback to your writer, with up to two rounds of revisions. The process typically takes one to two weeks.

What is TopResume ’s 60-day guarantee?

We’re so confident in the skills of our experts that we offer a 60-day guarantee: If you don’t get twice the interviews after your initial resume rewrite, we’ll perform another rewrite for free.

What You Need to Know Before You Pay Someone to Help With Your Resume

Writing a strong resume is important, but it’s also hard. You might have heard that some people hire a resume writer, or maybe you’ve seen ads for resume writing services promising a free professional review of your resume. It’s tempting—especially if you’re desperate for a new job or your search has dragged on for a while.

Is it a good idea to have your resume written by a professional? The short answer is yes, it can definitely be beneficial to your job search.

Before you spend your money, however, there are a few things you should know—including what exactly a resume writer or reviewer does, how to decide if you should hire one, and, if you decide to go for it, how to do your homework and pick the right one for you.

What a Resume Writer and/or Reviewer Does

How to decide if you should hire professional help for your resume, how to pick the right resume writer.

First, you need to make sure you understand what a resume writer or reviewer can—and can’t—do for you. If you don’t have the right expectations going into the process, you’re likely to be disappointed.

What’s the Difference Between Resume Writing and Resume Reviewing?

As you look to hire a professional to help with your resume, you’ll come across the terms “resume writing” and “resume reviewing” and it’s important to understand the range of things these terms can mean. They’re almost—but not quite—interchangeable.

Most services and individuals offering “resume writing” will not actually create an entirely new resume for you from nothing. Instead, resume writing means rewriting , says Muse career coach Jennifer Smith , founder of Flourish Careers , who in addition to writing resumes, read them for over 15 years as a recruiter and HR professional. “I require something that we can build from, to understand their experiences and key accomplishments,” Smith says.

Most resume writers will want to see your existing resume, and they’ll usually need you to fill out a questionnaire or worksheet or have a long conversation with them about your experience and goals—most commonly, you’ll need to do a combination of these things.

Some individuals and services, like The Muse’s own Coach Connect —a marketplace where you can book sessions with thoroughly vetted career coaches—call this same service a “ resume review .” At The Muse, the intention is to avoid the perception that you’ll be getting a resume written from scratch, says Eloise Eonnet , Coach Connect Manager and a coach herself who specializes in interviewing and communication.

However, in its lightest (and cheapest) form, resume reviewing can mean a professional looking over your resume and providing some actionable advice for you to make updates yourself, Smith says. This is often what you’re getting if you sign up for a free resume review. Tread lightly here since the advice may not be personalized to you: I, a content editor and writer, once submitted my resume to the same free resume review service as my mother, a nurse, and we got nearly identical feedback despite our extremely different goals and industries.

You might also choose to work with a coach who reviews the resume you’ve written, shares advice on how to improve it, and then gives you feedback on the changes you make, says Dana Hundley, a resume writer, former recruiter, and founder of Career Cooperative . This kind of service will probably do the most to help you learn how to write better resumes yourself in the future.

What Can a Resume Writer Do for my Resume?

Your resume is a story about why you’re the right person for a given job. Experienced resume writers are adept at asking the right questions to pull out the most relevant information about you and packaging it in a way that tells an engaging and persuasive story, Smith says.

There are also some common errors that (good) resume writers won’t make or will catch, including bullet points that list responsibilities rather than achievements and a lack of consistency throughout the resume (usually because people are just adding recent jobs onto old resumes without making sure everything tells a coherent story and is formatted the same way).

When she was a recruiter, Smith also noticed candidates who would try to stand out using flashy design—including a resume that used so much bright green that she literally jumped back from the screen (and then struggled to read the document). A good resume writer will help your resume stand out the right way.

You can definitely do all these things for yourself, but if you’re overwhelmed, stuck, or don’t have the time or energy to immerse yourself in the nuances of resume best practices, a professional might be the right choice.

Do I Still Need to Be Involved in the Resume Writing Process?

Hiring a resume writer doesn’t mean that you’ll magically receive a perfect resume without any thought or work on your part. “If you want to do it right, it should be a partnership,” Smith says. This means the writer is learning about you and your professional history, listening to what you want from your resume and your next job, and getting input from you throughout the drafting and revising process. This also means you’re putting the effort in to share all the relevant information needed to make your resume the best it can be.

Once It’s Done, Can I Submit the Same Resume for Every Job I Apply To?

Whether or not you work with a professional, it’s an absolute must to tailor your resume  for every position you apply to. This means making changes to emphasize the most relevant experience, skills, and achievements for each role as well as switching up language to make sure you’re including the right keywords from the job description.

A resume writer should gear their work toward the types of jobs you plan to apply to, so a professionally written base resume should already showcase most of your most relevant experience. But every job is a little different and you should expect to make tweaks. Perhaps a certain company is looking for someone with knowledge of uncommon software that you happen to have experience with, but it’s not on your base resume because most companies don’t use it. Adding the name of that software to your professionally written resume could be what lands you the interview.

If you’re applying to more than one type of job—let’s say, for instance, you’ve worked in both marketing and development and are applying to roles in both—you might have to make more changes for different applications, or you might consider working with a professional on two (or more) base versions of your resume.

Will a Resume Writer Design My Resume?

Resume writers often will format your resume, but if you’re looking for someone to make a heavily designed resume, it’s not a given. And that’s probably a good thing. Applicant tracking systems (ATSs)—the programs that many companies use to process and organize resumes—can’t always parse fancy formatting. So a good resume writer will make sure your resume has clean, simple formatting an ATS can read. Muse coaches, for example, typically focus “not on the fancy details, but what is going to help you get through [the ATS] and land that interview,” Eonnet says.

Resume formatting is also about appealing to the human reader. As former recruiters, both Smith and Hundley make sure the resumes they write are easily scanned and understood by someone who might have a lot of applications to go through in a short time.

If you re looking for a heavily designed resume, you should be up front about that expectation and prepared for the possibility that you’ll need to pay more or even hire someone separately.

Is Hiring a Resume Writer “Cheating”?

If you’re considering hiring a resume writer, but are concerned that it feels dishonest or is “cheating,” worry no more. Unless you’re applying to be a resume writer yourself, your resume isn’t meant to be a sample of your work, but rather an accurate reflection of your qualifications for a job. As long as what’s written on your resume is true, there’s nothing dishonest about it.

If a resume had the information she was looking for, Smith says, she didn’t really care if a resume was professionally written. In fact, neither Hundley nor Smith usually noticed if a candidate had hired someone else to write their resume.

Almost anyone can benefit from a resume writer, but working with one can be especially productive in some scenarios. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you decide whether to write your own resume , hire a professional, or even seek out an entirely different kind of  career coaching .

Do You Know What Your Job Search Goals Are?

Effective resumes are “a combination of your goals and your history. If you don’t have the goals piece, that makes the resume a lot less effective,” Smith says.

At its core, “your resume is a marketing tool” that’s selling you as the right person for the job, Smith says. If you were marketing a new product, you’d want to know who your customer is; if you’re writing a resume, you want to know who your target audience is. There is no single ideal resume for each person based only on their history. The best resume for a candidate looking to land a digital marketing coordinator job is different from the best resume for that same candidate to get a sales development role or even a social media coordinator role. Different experiences, achievements, and skills matter for different jobs—your resume needs to reflect the ones that matter for the jobs you’re applying to.

So if you’re not sure what type of positions you’re going to apply to, a resume writer can’t deliver a good product and it’s a waste of everyone’s time and your money to make them try.

“Sometimes people come to me and say that they need a resume, but that’s not really what they need,” Smith says. They don’t really know what they want next, but they think they need a resume to start. People tend to want to pay for tangible things like a resume even when what they actually is need someone to help them figure out their goals, Eonnet says.

If this is you, and you’re unsure of what job you want next, you might want to start with a different kind of coaching before you look for someone to write your resume. For a potential client in this position, for example, Eonnet would recommend checking out Coach Connect’s “ Stuck in a Rut ” package over its resume review service.

Does Your Job Search Situation Fall Into One of These Trickier Categories?

There are a few situations where hiring a resume writer might be particularly helpful. If you fall into one of these categories, your resume may be a bit more difficult (though not impossible) to write on your own:

• You’re making a career change
• You haven’t applied for a job or updated your resume in a long time
• Your career history is extensive and you need help narrowing it down
• You’re going back to work after a long employment gap
• You’ve had a bunch of jobs and/or side gigs that might look unrelated
• You’re a freelancer looking for a full-time job
• You’re in a niche market or transitioning out of one (such as government, the military, or academia)
• You don’t have the time needed to create a high-quality resume
• You’re not a strong writer and need help clearly stating your achievements
• Your job search has gone on for a while with little success

Do You Need Motivation or Help Overcoming a Mental Block?

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people I know say, “I just need to update my resume, then I can start looking for a new job,” and stay stuck in that stage for weeks or even months. When your resume becomes a barrier preventing you from making progress in your job search, you should consider bringing in a professional, Hundley says. “If it feels too big, too daunting, too confusing, seeking support to create the best possible resume for yourself so you can...focus your energy on other aspects of a job search is a great option.”

Resume writers can also help motivate you, especially if you’re feeling deflated from a job hunt—with all its rejections and radio silences. Often “I look at a draft of someone’s resume and see how amazing they are and then get on the phone and they’re down on themselves,” Smith says. But she’s heard from clients that even the act of filling out her intake questionnaire helps them start to process their background in a new way, see what makes them qualified, get out of their own heads, and feel prepared to talk themselves up.

If you’ve decided you want to hire someone, you’ll quickly realize that “there are thousands and thousands of coaches out in the world who say they can help you with a resume,” Eonnet says. While many of these coaches are legitimate, not all of them are going to be a fit for you. Here are some questions to ask yourself to make sure you find a resume writer or service who will give you the biggest leg up on your job search.

Is the Resume Writer or Service Reputable?

Before selecting a resume service or writer, you want to make sure that your choice is qualified and that you’ll get the product they’re promising. “There’s not a one-size-fits-all in terms of what makes a successful, impactful resume writer,” Hundley says. But there are a few ways to try to assess your options.

• Look at reviews —both on their own website and third-party sites. If the coach you’re considering is on Coach Connect, you can be sure that the reviews listed on their profile are all in order and the “featured testimonial” is always the most recent review. Negative reviews are not deleted or altered, and positive reviews aren’t promoted to the top, Eonnet says.
• Check for certifications. They’re a sign that a resume writer or coach is qualified—but not the only one. The Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches and the National Resume Writers’ Association are the two main sources of resume writing certifications in the U.S. and you can be sure that folks with these certs are qualified. But not having one of these doesn’t mean someone’s not qualified, so make sure to take all of their experience into account. A recruiting and/or HR background, especially in your desired industry, is one other thing to look for along with or in lieu of a certification.
• Understand the criteria. If you’re looking at resume services with a lot of writers, you might want to find out what standards and vetting processes they have in place. The service’s website might include this info or you could ask for it directly before agreeing to use them.
• Ask for referrals and recommendations from your network. That way you know that someone you trust was happy with the work the resume writer did.

Are There Red Flags?

Here are a few red flags to watch out for from resume writers or services. Most aren’t definite dealbreakers, but might be a signal to dig deeper or consider looking elsewhere:

• Job guarantees: Some resume services will guarantee that you’ll get a job in a certain number of days or your money back. Be wary—there’s likely fine print with some extreme qualifications you need to meet to be eligible. Plus, no one can realistically guarantee that you’ll get a job based on your resume alone, no matter how fantastic it is. Landing a job depends on so many factors—including the job market, the number of jobs you apply to, your experience, your performance in interviews, and the speed of the hiring process where you’re applying.
• Extreme prices: If a service is free or less than $100, make sure you know exactly what you’re getting for your money. At prices that low, you might not be getting personalized advice or your information could be sold to third parties for advertising purposes. On the flip side, if a resume writer is charging in the high triple digits or more for just a resume (and you’re not a C-suite executive), make sure they have the experience and results to justify it or skip straight to cheaper options.
• Lack of transparency: Before paying for anything, you want to know what you’re getting, right? A service or writer should be up front about their prices and process, including how many rounds of edits you get and what type of file your resume will be delivered in.
• A final result you can’t easily edit: You still need to tailor your professionally written resume for each job you apply to, so your resume should be “very nimble,” Hundley says. If a service is going to deliver an end product in a file format you can’t edit (such as an image file or a file you need special software to open) or is so heavily designed that changing up the text will mess up the formatting, look elsewhere. Note: It’s fairly common (and not a red flag) to receive a PDF and an editable document.
• Generic advice or lack of input needed from you: If you’ve already submitted your resume for a review, and it’s clear from the results that whoever wrote the feedback didn’t read your resume, tread very carefully before giving the service more money. Or if a resume service doesn’t ask for more information about what kinds of jobs you’re looking for or anything else about your experience, consider whether your money is better spent on something more personalized.

What’s Your Timeline?

You should have an idea of when you need your resume to make sure that the resume writer you choose is able to deliver on time. If you want to start your job search “soon,” spending a few weeks on your resume might be fine, but if you spotted a perfect job you want to apply right away before the posting comes down, you might need it in a few days—in which case you need to make sure the resume writer can meet your deadline (and you should be willing to pay extra for a rush job, Hundley says).

What’s Your Budget?

Resume review and writing services can range in price from free to thousands. Typically, you should expect to pay at least one hundred to a few hundred dollars for a professional to rewrite or revise your resume, Smith says. Folks far along in their careers, especially at the executive level, tend to have to pay more than early-career job seekers.

Different writers and services might have different resume packages that include more revisions, more time to talk with the writer about your job search goals and resume strategy, or even additional coaching products—and prices will range accordingly. So think about what you can afford. If you don’t have a lot to spend, it might make more sense to get a lighter resume review from an experienced resume writer who’s a good match for you rather than a full rewrite from a service where you’re not quite sure who’s writing your resume or what quality the end product will be.

What Is Your Ideal Process?

As mentioned earlier, every resume writer and reviewer needs some amount of input from you. But the amount and type of involvement you have in the process can vary. Do you want some tips on your resume that you can use to update it yourself? Do you want the writer to handle the writing and go back and forth with several rounds of revisions to make sure it’s exactly how you’d like it? Do you prefer to talk about yourself over the phone or will filling out questionnaires allow you to organize your thoughts better?

Think this through before you look for resume writers and be prepared to ask probing questions about their writing or review process to make sure it lines up with your expectations and needs, Hundley says. If one resume writer isn’t offering what you’d like, move on to another.

Do They Have Experience Helping People in Your Role, Industry, and Situation?

While looking for writers, see what industries, careers, and situations they have experience with to ensure they have a track record of helping people like you. A coach who has a background in the industry you’re looking for work in is especially helpful because they “can speak the language,” Smith says. If you have to choose, it’s typically better to find someone who’s familiar with where you’re going in your career, Smith says, than someone who’s familiar with where you’ve been. One exception is when you’re transitioning out of the military since translating that experience can be a unique skill.

Even if you’re using a larger resume service, you can see if it has a way for you to work with a writer who has the experience you need. For example, Coach Connect allows you to filter for careers, experience levels (both yours and the coach’s), and other areas of expertise—for instance, working with veterans, career changers, or international job seekers. And if you’re still struggling, some services, including Coach Connect, allow you to reach out for help finding a match.

Is Their Personality and Style a Good Match for You?

Before you make a final choice, try to get a sense of who the writer is beyond their experience. Read anything they’ve written on their website, LinkedIn, social media, and various professional profiles (on The Muse’s Coach Connect, at least, each coach writes their own bio). Pay attention to both tone and content. Are they warm and bubbly or no-nonsense and to-the-point? Neither is good or bad per se, but you might prefer one over the other.

Look at reviews and testimonials and watch for any common themes. Do multiple clients say that they’re a good listener? Or that they infused some humor into the process? You can also use a free initial phone consultation or any pre-hire conversations with the writer to get a sense of how they communicate and if they’re a good fit for you.

You likely work better with some colleagues than others because of their personalities and work styles. A resume writer is no different. You’ll get your best possible resume from someone you gel with.

Hire Freelance and Professional Resume Writers

Resumes are widely used by job aspirants to impress their prospective employers. A good resume is an effective marketing tool that helps you sell your skills and capabilities to hiring managers. In order to catch recruiters’ attention, your resume needs to be well-written and well-formatted with all the important details highlighted. It need not have every single course you have taken or every job that you have done. You need to use your discretion in adding only those details that are relevant to the position for which you are applying. These details may demonstrate your technical skills, initiative-taking qualities, or leadership skills. Although there is no specified format for writing a resume, most resumes fall under three categories – reverse-chronological, functional, and combination. If you are stumped trying to write your resume and need professional guidance, you can hire freelance resume writers from freelance marketplace websites.

What Does a Freelance Resume Writer Do?

People who offer resume writing services begin by understanding your educational and professional backgrounds. They start the resume writing process by gathering information about your skills, personality, career objectives, and extracurricular activities that demonstrate your aptitude. Based on your experiences and the job you are applying for, they decide on the best format for your resume. While writing your resume, resume writers ensure that they highlight your qualifications, skills, education, and work history. They also include your contact details, LinkedIn profile, and links to your other online portfolios, such as a website or blog. Just like Cover Letter Writers , they draft a catchy professional profile or summary at the beginning of the resume that is intended to catch the reader’s attention immediately. Once the resume is complete, it is passed on to Proofreaders to identify any errors in grammar, word usage, and format.

If you want to get a job that perfectly complements your skills and past work experience, you need to work with the best resume writers who offer their services on online hiring websites. A professionally written resume can give you a step up in getting your dream job. Before you hire a resume writer, ensure that the person:

Has a strong command over English with impeccable grammar, vocabulary, and spelling

Can draft well-formatted resumes which highlight the key points in your professional history

Can write an outstanding introduction to your resume that encourages the reader to go through the entire resume

Qualifications of Certified Professional Resume Writers

Expert resume writers can help you portray yourself as an expert professional to prospective employers. Here are some of the qualifications you should consider before you hire resume writers from online freelance marketplaces:

Professional education and training in English, Marketing, and Graphic Design

Familiarity with the different types of resumes and the ability to select the most suitable format based on your education and work history

Extensive portfolio of several high-quality resumes written for clients in different functional areas

Benefits of Hiring Resume Writing Services

Resume writers understand the mindset of recruiters and draft resumes that resonate with their expectations.

They highlight all relevant points such that they immediately catch the readers’ attention.

Even if your professional history lacks sufficient experience or educational qualifications, resume writers try their best to highlight your aptitude and capabilities.

7 Best Resume Writing Services (+ Which Are Worth It)

3 key takeaways

• There's a wide range of professional resume writing services ranging from executive to budget.
• While job seekers often pay per resume with a professional writer, AI resume builders allow you to quickly create and optimize several versions to each job, presenting a more cost-efficient alternative.
• Teal’s AI Resume Builder is unlike most resume writing services in that it allows you to tailor your resume to every single job application using keyword matching and scoring. 

One of the biggest questions surrounding resume writing services is whether or not they’re worth it. 

The answer: it varies.

If you’re new to the job market and your resume is fairly simple, or you are working with a lower budget, you might not need a dedicated resume writer.

But if you’re looking to tailor you’re resume for the job, while meeting ATS (applicant tracking systems) readability standards , then you might need a professionally-written resume. 

This article compares some of the best resume writing services, where you can hire them, and how to choose the right one for you.

Struggling to land interviews with your resume? Get started with Teal’s AI Resume Builder for free.

Types of resume writing services

While the goal of professional resume writing services is to create a resume that’ll land you a job, each type of resume service goes about it differently.

Resume writing services from a company

Larger companies that employ hundreds of freelance resume writers are a popular choice for many job seekers with a decent budget and a longer timeline with their applications.

The benefit of this type is the company is optionality. Some may even have in-house writers dedicated to your specific industry or role and can provide insights into previously successful resumes. 

Some resume writing services are large enough that they don’t dedicate one person or team to your account. Instead, you’ll have multiple people working on your resume, and the communication between them might not be stellar. They also might keyword stuff rather than weaving them in naturally.

One job seeker from Reddit shared their experience using a professional resume writing service: 

“I went with a resume writing service, and they clearly outsourced it to a country where English is not the most commonly spoken language. It was terrible and rife with errors. Luckily, I got my money back.”

Specialized resume writing services

These are services dedicated either to your industry or career level, such as executive resume writing services, which often offer career training as well. 

These services often have a directory of writers they vet and certify to write resumes for their specific industries, so you know you’re getting a professional. Typically, you’ll have a dedicated writer or team rather than subcontracted writers, editors, and reviewers.

Cons of specialized resume writing services

While they’re more tailored and often include specific skills to help you land more interviews, they tend to be more costly. You might also have deal with delays in your ability to apply, as you go through a series of interviews with the service to ensure they’re truly capturing your work experience.

Resume writers

You can, of course, hire a professional resume writer that is unaffiliated with any company. These writers often work for themselves as a freelancer or small business, and have niched down into one particular area of resume writing.

Cons of working with a professional resume writer

While they might have specialized industry knowledge, they're likely not familiar with the nuances of modern hiring tech or recruiting. They could just be a good writer that passed a training program to become certified in resume writing.

Teal’s Director of Talent, Mike Peditto, echoes this with his statement:

"Some resume writers rely on a bit more of an outdated style that puts a large focus on visual appeal above the user experience of the reader. They often rely heavily on graphics, charts, tables or other design tactics that not only may get lost in an ATS, but also tend to focus on the items a recruiter doesn't need to see right away. This can be be more distracting than valuable to somebody quickly doing a pass through of the resume looking for key information."

Building a resume with a resume builder

A resume builder is a tool that allows you to create and customize your resume again to match the position you’re applying for. 

This can be advantageous, since you understand your work history and industry better than anyone else. You also know which skills you want to highlight more depending on the role and how well you match it. 

Another benefit is cost per resume. You can create as many resumes as you’d like, allowing you to tailor the resume to every single application. Whereas most services will provide you with one polished resume that isn’t tailored to a specific role, unless you’ve requested such. 

Cons of using a resume builder

If your writing skills aren’t strong, you might not fully highlight your skills and experience without the help of AI features, not available in every resume builder. And while AI will assist in the writing, you will still want to personalize it. Teal gives you the best of both worlds with AI writing and ability to pull keywords from the job description, allowing you to better tailor each resume at scale.

You also might need to rely on templates to ensure you’re using the correct formatting to meet standards for an ATS.

7 top resume writing services

Calling anything “the best” is subjective to the criteria. Our criteria for determining the best writing services includes:

• Speedy delivery
• Good pricing
• Writing skills commensurate with your level of education, expertise, and career

No recruiter or hiring manager is going to spend ages pouring over the details of your resume. But they will still notice typos, glaring grammatical errors, and formatting inconsistencies. 

Worse, your resume won’t get a second glance at all if your experience and skills don’t jump off the page and scream, “I’m the one for the job”. 

So, you need a professional resume service that understands your work history and how to highlight your experience, for the right price, so you can apply before the window of opportunity closes. 

Below are nine of the best resume services available right now:

• Best executive resume writing service
• Best resume writing services online
• Best-rated resume writing services
• Best affordable resume writing services

Best AI-powered resume builder

Best specialty resume writing services.

• Best resume writing service with additional professional packages

ZipJob is one of the most affordable resume writing services that still offer professional writers and a decent turnaround of three to seven days. They back up their services with a guarantee that you land an interview within 60 days.

What sets them apart, aside from the low price, is that they grant you unfettered access to your professional resume writer.

ZipJob employs a roster of over 100 professional resume writers that have worked in Fortune 500 recruiting, career coaching, HR, and job placement, aside from resume writing. 

ZipJob has specialists in over 65 industries, including:

• Free resume review
• LinkedIn profile optimization

Cost: $139 to $299

Best resume writing service by offering: Let’s Eat, Grandma

While the name might bring on a laugh, Let’s Eat, Grandma is all serious when it comes to resume writing packages. 

Their most affordable service is fairly basic, offering a 30 minute one-on-one consultation, well-crafted resume, and two revisions. Their most extensive package of the four includes nine services, such as executive career coaching and unlimited revisions.

If you’re working on a shorter timeline for applying to positions, they might not be your best choice, as you’ll receive your first draft in about a week and the two revisions after an additional week.

But if you’re looking for a resume writing service that offers more than the average service, with true professionals at a decent price (and aren’t on a time restraint), Let’s Eat, Grandma is a great option.

Members get an industry-specific writer, a LinkedIn best practices guide, and lifetime webinar access. If you upgrade to the more premium package, you get services like training in salary negotiation and clarity coaching.

While hiring a professional resume writing service is a great option for those with a higher budget, more technical needs, and less-confident writing skills, they aren’t the only option for creating a high-powered resume.

Is it worth paying for resume writing service?

From looking at loads of reviews and services, it’s easy to tell that the answer doesn’t just depend on your situation, but on the service you choose.

The larger resume services that promise the lowest prices and the fastest turnarounds tend to make customers feel scammed. Customers have largely noted that their work was outsourced and the writers didn’t incorporate feedback or understand their work history. 

In this case, using an AI resume builder like Teal helps you not only tailor one resume, but hundreds.

The Pros and Cons of Hiring a Resume Writer

Thinking about hiring a professional resume writer? In this guide, we dive into where to find one — and whether it’s really worth it.

2 years ago   •   7 min read

Okay, let’s be real: Nobody actually enjoys putting together a resume. It’s stressful, time-consuming, and there’s no guarantee of a payoff at the end.

Which is exactly what makes resume writing services so tempting. After all, if you could pay a few bucks to skip the whole process and get a professional-caliber resume at the end of it, why not?

That’s exactly the question we’re about to answer — along with where to find a legitimate resume writer and what to expect if you do hire one.

Is a professional resume writer worth it?

Should I hire a resume writer? There’s no single “yes or no” answer. Like any service that costs money, whether it’s worthwhile to hire a professional resume writer comes down to what you want out of it — and what you’re willing to give up.

To help you make that decision, here are some of the benefits (and potential downsides) when considering if resume writers are worth it.

Hiring a resume writer: Pros vs Cons

The benefits of hiring a professional resume writer seem obvious on the surface — saving time and effort while getting a better-quality product at the end of it. But, as the saying goes, everything has a price … and we aren’t just talking about money.

Pro: It’s convenient

Con: It’ll cost you

Professional resume services can cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars . Found a cheaper alternative? “You get what you pay for” is a cliché for a reason — and in this case, it’s very true.

Pro: It lets you skip most of resume writing process

Con: You’ll need to be more involved than you think

Resume writers can’t simply build a resume from scratch. You’ll still need to provide them with information, including your job history, educational background , and accomplishments . You may also end up needing more than one resume — at least, if you’re applying for more than one job, which you probably are. That means you’ll be tailoring your own resumes anyway, or you’ll be racking up additional fees for a resume writer to do it for you.

Then there’s the initial vetting process, ongoing collaboration, feedback, and revisions. By the time it’s finished, it’s unlikely you’ll have saved much time or effort; instead, you could have simply plugged the same information into a template and saved yourself several hundred dollars.

Pro: There’s less time and effort required

Con: It isn’t an overnight process

Don’t expect a brand new resume in a matter of hours — a week or two is more realistic. Also factor in 1-2 initial phone calls (yes, calls — writing a resume takes a lot of back and forth, including information that can’t easily be conveyed over email) as well as multiple revisions. Some resume writing services may offer a quicker turnaround if you’re in a hurry, but don’t expect the rush option to come cheap.

Pro: You can look for a certified professional

Con: Not all resume writers are qualified

How do most resume writers get started? By deciding to write resumes. There are no official qualifications needed to become a resume writer, and the truth is that most resume writers don’t have backgrounds as recruiters or hiring managers.

You can look for resume writers who are affiliated with the National Resume Writers Association or who possess Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) certification, but even then, there’s no way to know exactly what you’re paying for. CPRW doesn’t require any kind of industry background to qualify — it's just a couple of short online courses and a test. No one's actually a hiring manager with experience.

Pro: A professional resume writer may do a better job

Con: … And then again, maybe not

Nobody knows your background and accomplishments better than you. Even if you supply them with detailed information, resume writers still don’t know exactly what you’ve accomplished or what skills you possess. This could mean that genuine accomplishments are left off your resume or — more likely — that others are embellished or even made up entirely. This could get you in serious trouble at the interview stage, so you’ll still need to go over the final product with a fine-tooth comb.

Keep in mind that resume writers are rarely current practitioners , and they’re even less likely to be familiar with your particular industry. This means that, even if you’re not confident in your writing abilities, you probably still have a better chance of writing a good resume than someone who’s never worked in the field. This is especially true if you work in a niche industry with its own hiring standards (like academia) or in a field that’s newer or constantly changing (like marketing, social media, or anything tech-driven).

Pro: Experienced resume writers can help if you’re not confident in your writing abilities

Con: Some hiring managers might see it as cheating

It isn’t illegal to hire a resume writer, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best idea. If your resume is written very differently to your other written communication, hiring managers may figure out that you didn’t write it yourself. Some may not care … but others will.

As a general rule, you should avoid hiring a resume writer:

• If you’re applying for a job where communication skills are important. Recruiters will be looking at your resume as evidence of your writing skills, which means it’s probably not a good idea to outsource it.
• For your cover letter . Even more so than a resume, your cover letter needs to be a reflection of who you are and how you communicate, so never hire someone else to write it.

Pro: It’s a good way to get started

Con: There are easier (and cheaper) alternatives

Think professional resume writers must know something you don’t? Not necessarily. In fact, resume writers use Resume Worded to help their clients — we support recruiters, careers coaches , and resume writers as well as job seekers. Our suite of free tools is available to everyone, and our Pro plan offers unlimited templates, uploads, feedback, and reviews. The best part? You can access it directly as a job seeker, and for a fraction of the cost of hiring a resume writer.

Where to find a resume writer

If you’ve considered both sides and decided to hire a resume writer, here are some tips on where to start and how to make the process as smooth as possible.

• Decide what kind of resume writing service you actually need. Do you want someone to hold your hand through the entire job application process? Figure out how to turn your duties into accomplishments? Give your existing resume a quick once-over?
• Decide on your budget. Resume writing services aren’t cheap — but there are low-budget options available that won’t sacrifice quality.
• Be specific. If you’re serious about hiring a professional resume writer, don’t just Google “resume writing service” and call it a day. Instead, use keywords specific to the role or industry you’re applying for.
• Focus on finding a professional resume writer in your niche. Generalist resume writers are likely to know even less about what hiring managers are looking for than you do.
• Choose a resume writer who’s actually worth the money. Not sure how to tell? Look for a combination of industry background, recruitment experience, and proven results.
• Never hand over your money without knowing exactly what you’re getting in return. A good resume writer should offer to set up a call to make sure they understand your experience and professional goals — and you understand the process — before you put anything in writing.
• Check the terms and conditions. Look specifically for things like unlimited revisions, which will prevent you from paying for something you’re not 100% happy with.
• Don’t put too much stock in money-back guarantees. Most resume writing services will offer additional rewrites instead of an actual refund or insist on (often unreasonably) strict terms and conditions to qualify.
• Put together as much information as you can in advance. Professional resume writers aren’t wizards — they won’t know anything about your background, experience, or accomplishments unless you tell them.
• Consider the alternatives. There are ways of getting the same results for a fraction of the cost — or even for free!

Alternatives to hiring a resume writer

Before you go all in on hiring a resume writer, check out some of these free alternatives.

If you need help creating a resume from scratch: Download a resume template

If you’re considering splurging on a resume designer, know this: The best resume is a simple resume. Instead of paying for an expensive graphic-based resume that most hiring managers don’t want (and Applicant Tracking Systems can’t read) , download a free, ready to use ATS resume template . Simply paste in your information and start applying straight away!

If you don’t know what to write: Check out industry-specific resume examples

Once you’ve chosen your template, head over to our resume examples page, with 250+ full resume examples from dozens of industries. With just a little tweaking, you can have your resume done and ready to send off in less time than it would take to hire a resume writer.

If you’re struggling to create bullet points: Use a bullet point generator

Still stuck with a resume that reads more like a job description than a list of achievements? This bullet point builder tool can help you generate custom bullet points that focus on your actual accomplishments and give you access to suggested bullet points from similar roles.

If you want expert feedback: Use a resume checker

Not all professional advice costs money. If you already have a resume that just needs a bit of an update, upload it to Score My Resume . This AI-powered resume checker will scan your resume for the same things recruiters are looking for — relevant skills and keywords, concrete accomplishments, readability, and lack of filler. It can even analyze things like length, brevity, and word choice, giving you an easy-to-understand score along with easy ways to improve.

On the topic of relevant skills and keywords, use the skills search tool below to get a list of keywords and hard skills relevant to the job you’re applying for. It is a good way to tailor your resume to the job without needing to pay a resume writer.

If you want a professional service: Go pro

Resume Worded Pro gives you access to professional-level resume writing help, including targeted, resume-ready accomplishments and metrics, personalized additions, line-by-line analysis, and recruiter insights on your existing resume. The best part? It’s still way cheaper than hiring a one-off resume writer.

The 20 Best Resume Writing Services

Have you ever wondered why some people are not afraid of losing their job? They have courage to ask for advancement and salary raise and quit jobs they are not happy with. They seem to ignore the global unemployment crisis and look for a better position most of the time. Paradoxically, they get lots of interviews and are accepted for the most desirable jobs.

What secret knowledge do they possess?

In most cases, the secret weapon boosting confidence of these people is detailed resumes showing their best sides. In present day reality, HRs can judge who you are by only a few lines of your resume. Therefore, creating a masterpiece resume is a must.

The next question is what makes a perfect resume. Simply enumerating your skills and experiences is not enough. Even perfect formatting, coupled with impeccable grammar and style is not enough. To know what recruiters want to see in your resume you need to think like a recruiter. In other words, not everyone can develop a talent of writing resumes that rock and win interviews. You, however, may use professional resume writing services, which employ former or current recruiters who are ready to share their secrets.

📝 What If You Don’t Choose the Top Resume Writing Services?

What happens if in pursue of a good resume, you choose to go with the cheapest or first choice instead of seeking for the top rated resume writing services? Obviously, the top rated companies are those who provide continued quality, so the risk of doing this is quite big.

Resumes don’t always come at a high rate. As a matter of fact, some reputable companies offer quite a reasonable rate for resume help, and many of them have a variety of packages you can choose from to save some money in the process. It is the smartest investment you can make in terms of starting your career right. Even if it seems like an unnecessary thing to you now, you will surely appreciate the benefits it offers later.

But, that’s where our job ends. It is up to you to choose the best service for you. That’s the difference between this site and many similar sites whose goal is to push you into making a decision. This website does not serve to promote a certain site or diminish another one. It is just a grouping of honest and up-to-date reviews written by people who’ve had their share of getting their resumes written online.

The people working on these reviews know everything there is to know to be able to determine if a company is an excellent choice for you or not.

📝 Why Should You Trust Our Resume Writing Service Reviews?

Since you’re in search of a job or admission into some institution, you probably aim to earn some money or earn more money than what you currently get. This means that you cannot afford to pay fortune for a resume that might or might not turn out to be a success, especially since you might be applying to a very hard-to-get job. Don’t worry, we won’t be charging you anything for our help.

Secondly, this site is created by people who have experience with resume writing services. Some of us have worked in such companies, making them aware of the tricks used to scam customers.

How to hire a resume writer and not get duped.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Be careful writing your resume. Some won't get through an employer's Applicant Tracking System.

Sarah called today because she said her friend's friend in HR recommended me. She had previously paid $500 to have her resume "professionally written." She lost her job back in March. To date, she has not had one response from the resume. The company that created it blamed the economy last week when she complained. She asked me to review it and tell her what was wrong.

As I dissected his resume, I knew immediately that the fancy design would never get through the Applicant Tracking System. (Read my Last Forbes Post: Are Employers Ignoring Your Resume? 5 Mistakes to Avoid . ) I also noted another cardinal sin. The company used an outdated template, did not uncover her accomplishments, and likely had little business or industry knowledge. Sarah said the salesman talked to her for 30 minutes, took notes, and passed it on to the writer. She never spoke to the writer. Good resume writers, I told her, spend a few hours with you to uncover your experience and ask you probing questions. To all this, she said, "Yeah, I had some doubts. I guess you really do get what you pay for."

Another prospective client, Dave, showed me his resume that he'd paid $400 for. It was creative and fancy looking but would mostly all disappear in the ATS. It also lacked any specific details on how he had excelled in his past roles. He said he had just spoken to a salesperson and only spent 20 minutes talking to the writer who seemed very young. Two weeks later, the resume arrived. It failed to get him any interviews – hence the call to me.

Buyer beware!

COVID-19 has brought out resume writers in full force. Some lack hiring experience. Many know very little about the ATS. Others know nothing at all. Often, they just have good writing skills. They could be a person who did a little hiring, and they see the flood of unemployed and rush to say, "Yeah, I can do that." Others may be able to create fancy, creative-looking designs, but that is all they are designs, not resumes . Ineffective, but pretty.

I went to a few advertised resume writing websites, and one had started in March. (First clue!). Their website says the right things. It advertised: "our team of career experts and Fortune 500 recruiters put together resume examples for 250+ job titles that will impress hiring managers and pass the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) scans." They showed examples of their work. On close inspection, they were making these mistakes :

Best Travel Insurance Companies

Best covid-19 travel insurance plans.

· Not ATS friendly

· No keywords

· Used color ink and a lot of shading

· Had tables, columns, text boxes

· Used headers and footers

Guidelines to follow before you lay down your money

Many people want to hire someone to help them create an effective resume. Some genuinely talented individuals know how to create a resume and get employers' attention. Understandably, you may lack the ability to create a terrific resume on your own. And asking your manager for help isn't often useful unless that person is in HR and does the company's recruiting.

Knowing how to write a resume is much different than just reviewing many. First, the professional writer needs to have strong knowledge of many careers and the job duties required in each role. It takes wordsmithing skills and personal branding ability. Most importantly, it requires the writer to understand how ATS works and the knowledge to know which keywords to add.

I've been a career counselor and resume writer for twenty-five years. I have written 5, 000 resumes in my career, and I spend no less than 3 hours talking to the client to create each one of those resumes. I would never hire anyone that I didn't speak directly with to discuss this project before agreeing to pay them to do the writing for you. Also, I recommend you use these guidelines to help you make the right decision on who to hire.

· Ask for a referral. Have any of your friends or colleagues used a writer that they liked? Did the resume work and helped them get interviews? Go to the referral's website and check them out. Start with that name and then continue your research checking on the following.

· Review background, education, qualifications, credentials. Typically, a resume writer is a career counselor, former recruiter, has HR hiring experience, and are college-educated. Do they have a Bachelor's Degree? A Master's? In what? A few have written resume writing books, others write job search articles or blogs and cover resumes. Some hold resume writing certifications offered by professional associations, like the National Resume Writers Association.

· Years of experience. You don't want a newbie. How long have they been writing resumes? Look for someone who has done resume writing for no less than FIVE years. Ask how many people they have helped. Some offer samples, look those over.

· Ensure they know your career path, industry, and job title. Work with someone who has expertise in writing a resume for your job level, job title, and is knowledgeable about your industry. Some people specialize and work only with lawyers or engineers. Others have more expertise and help people in various fields and have assisted people in your career role.

· No one can create a good resume without talking to you directly. Much of the information needed to improve your resume is in your head and must be uncovered by talking to you directly. Be sure that the person you speak to is the one who writes the resume. Be careful about being sold by the company owner who has excellent credentials but doesn't do the work. Beware of the savvy salesperson who also will pass you on to someone else to write it. The amount of time it takes to gather the info varies, but for most professionals and executives, you need a 2-3 hour conversation with the writer.

· How long will it take to get it? You should expect to get the resume back within 48 hours.

· What is the review process? Explore this policy. They write it, and you should have the option to review it and be able to make changes, corrections, and additions if needed before completion.

· Pricing: Resume writing comes in all price points, but it is the effectiveness of the end product that is critical. Lowered priced services likely won't deliver. I surveyed several resume writers with excellent qualifications to determine their prices to create a resume for professionals, managers, and executives. The results showed that you should expect a professionally written resume to cost between $800-$2400. (Note the fees seem to be much less if you are a new grad.)

· Testimonials. The writer should have several endorsements from happy customers on their website. Also, look at their LinkedIn profile to see if people endorsed the SKILLS section for resume writing.

This is a significant investment in yourself and your career. Shop carefully.

Make use of expert tips & tricks to to help you build the perfect resume

Have you ever wondered why you are not getting the type of job interviews that you deserve?  When I first started my career, my resume was simply a list of job titles, descriptions, and dates. It did not show actual relevant skills, and I often wondered why I did not receive job interviews.  I later became a Career Coach and committed myself to helping clients understand the power of writing resumes with impact.  

Fast-forward to today, and the competition is stiff. Candidates compete in a tough job market that continues to evolve due to technological advances. We are now in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and the ever-popular gig economy, making it increasingly important to build diverse skill sets.  

The challenge, however, lies in learning how to translate those skills to your resume.

Employers are quickly learning to embrace diverse skill sets by transitioning from traditional hiring methods to instead focusing on skills-based hiring practices.

You may be wondering exactly what skills-based hiring is and how you can create a skills-focused resume. Well, look no further! 

This article will teach you everything you need to know about skills-based hiring and creating a skills-focused resume to impress potential employers , no matter which career you choose.

What is Skills-based Hiring?

Employers utilize skill-based hiring and recruitment practices to fill job positions based on the competencies and skills that candidates possess instead of relying on more boring and less reliable traditional methods.

🌟The goal of skill-based hiring is to identify the best candidate based on their skills and competencies rather than relying on educational background and past job titles alone.

Whereas traditional recruitment practices have an almost singular focus on formal qualifications and past job roles, skills-based hiring evaluates your current skill set and practical ability to successfully perform the job. 

The gig economy , as well as the post-Covid-19 environment, has empowered employers to adapt to a more agile workforce.  Many of my clients have worked multiple jobs or have some type of part-time gig that has helped them diversify their skill set. 

Employers recognize the benefits and are now embracing the mindset that building a highly skilled, agile workforce with transferable skills will help the organization quickly adapt to change. 

Traditional recruitment processes were designed to recruit for a specific position and are not as fluid.  Imagine working on a team that evolves as the business evolves, and you can easily transition to any number of roles based on building a portfolio of diverse skills. 

Why Recruiters Choose to Hire Based on a Candidate’s Skills

There are a number of  advantages and reasons why employers may opt to use skills-based hiring strategies:

• What are some examples of technical skills that you already possess?  Are these skills currently listed on your resume?
• Skills Gaps and Competency Alignment:   Skills-based hiring allows employers to focus on identifying the specific abilities needed by candidates to help close the skill gaps within an organization.   It allows employers to utilize more precise recruitment approaches, align training requirements, and project future workforce needs.
• Reducing Recruitment Costs:   It can be costly to recruit and hire the wrong candidate for a role.  Just because someone has the job title does not always mean they have the exact abilities required for the role.
• Reducing Bias in Hiring Practices :  It helps to reduce bias in the hiring process because it focuses on performance rather than educational or past employer prestige.

The bottom line is, “Do you have the necessary skills to successfully perform the job?”

What you can do about it

Learning to write a resume that emphasizes your skills helps with presenting yourself as the best candidate to recruiters and employers.  

Skills-based hiring takes into consideration the whole-person approach to hiring.  An effective resume will showcase your technical expertise, soft skills, job competencies, and past performance in different experiences in a manner that impresses employers.  

You should also know that skills based hiring practices may also incorporate various skill assessment testing , simulations, and behavioral style interviewing to determine a candidate’s overall fit for the job. 

How Can You Highlight Your Most Relevant Skills in Your Resume?

Writing a skills-focused resume will help you float to the top in a sea of competition. However, we don’t want to confuse this with writing a skills-based resume , which is also known as a functional resume.  You may already be using a reverse chronological resume since it is the preferred style for most recruiters, but a functional layout is a slightly different resume format .  

• A functional resume groups skills and abilities together by category with specific examples, followed by work history, and the education section .  
• Reverse chronological resumes focus on work history and each job is listed starting with the most recent role first.

The challenge of using a reverse chronological resume for skills-based hiring is that none of your bullets stand out because they are grouped by job role instead of skill set.  Recruiters and employers have to review each resume bullet to determine if you possess the skills needed.  

If not written correctly, your resume will drown instead of floating to the top.

Let’s quickly discuss how to write a resume, along with the best approaches for showcasing your relevant skills.

How to organize your resume for skills-based hiring

First, let’s look at the order the sections should appear in. We’ll then go into greater detail for each part.

• Contact Information:   Name, Phone Number, Email Address, and LinkedIn
• Professional Summary:  Provide an overview of your background, skills, and qualifications for the position that you are applying for.  Make sure you check out the examples below. 
• Skills:   Unlike more traditional layouts, this section comes BEFORE your work experience. Categorize your skills by group and provide specific examples of your accomplishments and achievements.
• Work Experience:  Include your job titles, name of the company, location, and employment dates in reverse chronological order. Your skills will be listed within the achievements you outline.
• Education:  While education is important unless otherwise stated in the job description, it is not the primary focus unless you haven’t had any work experience. 
• Additional Sections:   You may also consider adding additional subheadings for training, certifications, volunteer work , publications, professional organizations, and awards and recognitions.

Be sure to pay attention to the job description. If the employer asks for specific degree requirements and certifications, be sure to highlight these in your cover letter or consider strategically placing this information at the top of your resume. 

My top tips for writing a resume for skills-based hiring.

• Tailor the resume to the job description
• Use relevant keywords from the job description 
• Group your skills by category and list them toward the top of your resume.
• Provide specific examples within the experience section
• Quantify your skills-related achievements where possible 
• Use strong action verbs at the beginning of each bullet  
• Maintain a clear and concise format

Sample skills categories

Here are some examples of how you can group your skills on your resume.

• Technical (Ex.:  software, database management, computer programming, Artificial Intelligence )
• Analytical (Ex:  statistical analysis, data analysis , and market research)
• Communication (Ex: written, verbal, and presentation skills)
• Project Management (Ex: project planning, resource management, and budgeting)
• Leadership ( Ex:  team management, decision-making, and strategic planning)

It is important to understand how to properly group your skills into categories based on the job description when creating a resume that highlights your skills.

Consider these two questions:  

• Based on the examples above, what categories can you immediately use based on your current skill set?  
• Which specific examples from your own experiences can you place in each category?  

Organizing your resume in the right format will help recruiters to better understand how your skills align with the job description. 

Now you understand the format, let’s discuss the power of first impressions!  

Crafting a skills-based summary statement for your resume

One piece of advice that I always share with clients is to put your best foot forward.  This includes making a great first impression with your resume.  

When writing your resume, it is important to start with a strong opening statement. On average, recruiters only spend about 5-7 scanning each resume.  This means that you only have just as much time to make that first impression count!  And it all starts with an impressive summary statement.

My tips for writing an attention-grabbing resume summary

• Start with a strong opener that highlights your years of experience and career identity.
• Use job description keywords to ensure that your resume is ATS-compliant.
• Highlight your achievements by using action words and showcasing 1-2 high-level accomplishments where you used your skill set upfront.
• Include soft skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, and creativity.
• Keep it concise by minimizing your summary statement to 4-6 sentences that showcase your versatility and professional brand.

Skills-based summary examples

Let’s see some examples to help you understand this section better.

Experienced career professional with a variety of skills. Previously worked in diverse industries and have done lots of different things. Seeking a job that will provide growth opportunities by allowing me to utilize my skills. Exceptional skills in project management, teamwork, communication, and organizing.

Why it’s wrong:

• Lacks specific details
• Not targeted to the specific job industry
• Generic skills list
• Does not capture the reader’s attention

Results-driven Registered Nurse with 10+ years of experience in hands-on patient-care in fast-paced Emergency Room settings. Expert in quickly triaging and assessing patients with a proven track record of reducing patient wait times by 30% and retaining a 95% patient satisfaction rating. Adept at leading cross-functional healthcare teams and clinical workflow. Seeking to leverage my skills to support the mission of providing patient-centered care at XYZ Hospital.

Why it’s right:

• Specific with a focused and clear outline
• Targeted to the job role
• Includes quantifiable achievements
• Uses action words to immediately engage the reader
• Demonstrates career identity and professional brand

Where to put your skills section for maximum impact

You have learned the secrets to impressing recruiters with an attention-grabbing summary statement, now it’s time to create a keyword list of skills to add below it. 

A client once asked me whether a skills list was truly necessary, and I advised that it is necessary and helps to meet ATS compliance requirements . The skills list is simply a list of keywords or phrases that showcase your tangible skills aligned to the role. 

Placing your skills list at the top of your resume just after the summary section captures the attention of recruiters and hiring managers, allowing them to immediately see your key competencies.  

This strategic approach makes you a compelling candidate to prospective employers. 

Below is a sample skills list for an RN (registered nurse) based on the skills-based summary sample above.

Soft Skills

• Excellent Communicator
• Team Collaboration
• Problem-solver
• Time Management
• Critical Thinker
• Attention to Detail

Hard Skills

• Patient Advocacy
• Emergency Response
• Patient Education
• Infection Control
• Medication Administration
• IV Pumps and EKG Machines
• Electronic Medical Records

How to weave your skills into your work history

Once you have wowed the recruiter and hiring manager with an upfront high-impact summary and skills list, the next step is to write bullet statements for the work experience section of your resume.  

Your bullets should highlight your skills according to the job description.  Ideally, they should be written in an action, impact, and result format to demonstrate the significance of your work.  

Let’s see some examples from the healthcare sector.  Remember to quantify information whenever possible:

• Helped in an ICU checking in patients, changing bandages, and checking vital signs to ensure that they remained okay.

This bullet is too vague, does not include any skills, and oversimplifies the job role.

• Supported a 12-bed ICU by assessing patients, performing wound care, and closely monitoring patients’ vital signs to ensure their safety and recovery.
• Developed personalized care plans for patients with chronic illnesses, resulting in a 25% improvement in health conditions and preventing adverse effects.

These bullets provide details on the skills used, quantitative data, and the impact of the candidate’s work.

For a non-healthcare role, let’s look at how an account manager could emphasize their skills within their work experience bullet points.

Account Management

• Expertly managed a portfolio of key accounts with 700+ clients and increased customer retention and satisfaction scores by 25%.
• Developed tailored account management solutions, resulting in a 45% increase in clients over a five-year period.

This example subtly sells the candidate’s soft skills within some impressive accomplishments.

Stay ahead of the curve with in-demand skills

The great thing about all the changes taking place in the job market is that you can quickly improve your skills.

Equipping yourself with relevant in-demand skills through further training and certifications , personal projects, or attending specific conferences will help you to stay relevant in a competitive job market. 

Final Thoughts

While the job market is competitive, skills-based interviewing opens the door for you to apply for roles that you may not have thought that you otherwise would qualify for.  

As a Career Coach, I have made it a point to encourage clients to step outside of their comfort zone and not be afraid to apply for jobs that are outside of their norm.  A skills-focused resume helps employers to easily see your value. 

If there is an area in your resume that you would like to strengthen, you can easily take a course to stay ahead of the curve. It has been my experience that employers value candidates who show initiative and demonstrate versatility.  

Ultimately, staying abreast of the latest trends, remaining open-minded, and continuously updating your skills and resume can greatly improve your career opportunities and furthermore, boost your confidence.
