1-on-1 Interview Process

A resume interview is a 1-on-1 phone conversation between you and a trained interviewer who asks probing questions to uncover your achievements, skills, and career accomplishments. Unlike questionnaires or forms, an interview allows follow-up questions that dig deeper into your experience—revealing accomplishments you'd never think to include on your own. Resume Target's interviews range from 30-90 minutes based on career complexity.

A questionnaire is only as good as the questions you ask yourself—if you knew what to include, you'd write the resume yourself. Interviews allow trained professionals to ask follow-up questions, probe deeper into achievements, and uncover accomplishments you've forgotten or didn't realize were valuable. The conversational format naturally extracts stories and metrics that forms miss.

Interview length depends on career complexity: 30 minutes for early career professionals (0-5 years), 60 minutes for mid-level professionals and senior leaders, and 90 minutes for executives with 20+ years experience. More experience means more achievements to capture.

Resume Target interviewers use The Resume Target Method™ which includes questions like: "Tell me about the biggest project you led last year," "What was the company trying to achieve with this?", "Walk me through how you actually made this happen," and "What was the measurable impact?" These probing questions extract quantifiable achievements.

Share 1-2 job postings you're targeting before your interview. This helps your interviewer create a personalized interview plan that focuses on skills employers want, the right questions to ask, and achievements that prove you can do the job. No other preparation needed—the interview is designed to extract information naturally.

You receive your first draft within 3-5 business days after your interview. You then have 14 days of unlimited revisions to perfect your resume, backed by a 90-day interview guarantee.
