The Process
|
Step One
|
|
Initial
Contact
If you
are interested in one or more of our services, please
complete and submit our
Initial Contact Form.
Please also submit any supporting documents that you may
have – including your existing résumé,
application, specific vacancy announcement numbers, etc.
Or, you can
contact us by email or phone
with questions or requests. |
|
|
Step Two
|
|
Estimate and Payment
Once we review your
Initial Contact Form,
along with any supporting documentation you’ve
attached, we will contact you with a project estimate.
Upon your approval of the estimate, we will email you a PayPal bill for your payment convenience. By clicking
the link in the email, you will be able to pay online
with a credit card or money transfer. You do not need to
be a PayPal member to make a payment. Please let
us know if you would prefer a different payment method. |
|
|
Step Three
|
|
Phone Consultation
It is important that we have received your supporting
documentation prior to a phone consultation – if you do
not have an existing résumé,
we can send you a short questionnaire that will assist
us during your
consultation.
We understand that there is often a need for
confidentiality during your job hunting efforts. We are more
than happy to accommodate your needs by scheduling phone
consultations outside of regular business hours.
The consultation will focus on gathering all of the
information we need to fulfill your project
requirements. Additionally, we will work to gain an
understanding of your work history, experience,
accomplishments and goals so that your document will
reflect your unique professional story.
|
|
|
Step Four
|
|
Wordsmithing
We will begin working on your project as soon as we
complete your phone consultation. We work to
maintain a two week turnaround on all projects -
expedited orders are possible under certain
circumstances. Questions may be
generated during the wordsmithing process and we will
contact you with any that may arise. A draft version of
your project will be emailed for your approval. |
|
|
Step Five
|
|
Approval
At this point in the process, you are welcome to ask for
edits, formatting changes or whatever may suit your
needs – within 14 days of receiving the draft.
Please let us know if your schedule requires more time
for approval. Each project is allotted two cycles
of editing. An hourly rate (in quarter hour
increments) will be charged to customers who change
project parameters during the approval phase. This
rate includes correspondence time and additional edits.
Upon your approval, we will email you a final draft -
formatted in Microsoft Word and PDF. Hardcopies are available,
printed on high quality paper, as an optional service.
Plaintext or ASCII formatting, if not already included in your
project, is also available as an optional service.

Optional Step
Six |
|
Post-project Editing or Consultation
If, for some reason, your application or
résumé
needs minor updates or changes* within two months of the completion
of your project, we are more than happy to make those
changes (in an electronic format) free-of-charge.
After the two month timeframe, we would be happy to
provide you with an estimate to update your document.
Additionally, changes to your document to address a
specific job announcement, or changes that require
section edits will necessitate a quote. Overhauls of your complete project will
require consultations and formalized project
estimates.
*Please note: Minor updates or changes are limited to
qualification/certification updates, minor wording
adjustments, correcting minor formatting issues, and
updating contact information. Any other minor updates or
changes are subject to our discretion.
