Our Resume Writers

Every resume is written by a full-time Resume Target employee—not a freelancer or contractor. Our writers work exclusively for Resume Target and are trained in our proprietary methodology. This ensures consistent quality and a unified approach across every resume we create.

Yes. Your resume begins with a 1-on-1 phone interview with your assigned writer. This isn't a questionnaire—it's a real conversation where your writer asks targeted questions to uncover your achievements. After the interview, you can communicate with your writer via chat and email (or phone for Senior Leader and Executive packages).

Every writer completes extensive training in the Resume Target Method—our proprietary interview and writing process developed over 22 years. Training covers achievement extraction techniques, industry-specific positioning, ATS optimization, and our quality standards. Writers also receive ongoing coaching and feedback from senior editors.

Yes. All Resume Target writers are based in North America (United States or Canada). We do not outsource writing to overseas contractors. This ensures your writer understands the North American job market, hiring practices, and employer expectations.

We match you with a writer based on your industry and career level. While you cannot request a specific writer by name, our matching process ensures you work with someone experienced in your field. For Senior Leader and Executive packages, you're matched with our most experienced writers who specialize in senior-level positioning.

You have 14 days of unlimited revisions after receiving your first draft. If something isn't right, tell your writer and they'll fix it. If you're not feeling comfortable with your writer, let us know and we'll change your writer—sometimes personalities don't mesh and we understand that. Every resume also goes through senior editor review before delivery. If you're still not getting interviews after 90 days, our 90-day guarantee covers a free rewrite.

No. No writer is going to be a subject matter expert in any particular field—but that's not what makes a great resume. Our writers are trained in how to research, interview, and write. This is more important than being knowledgeable in your specific industry. Would you want a mechanic to interview a project manager? No—you want someone trained in interviewing and writing. Our writers are trained in the Resume Target Method of Interviewing, which pulls achievements and impact from you, combined with training in writing impactful statements that resonate with employers.

Resume Target has been writing resumes since 2003—that's 22+ years of experience. But experience isn't just about tenure. Our process has a hierarchy: team leads review your documents, and our writers have group sessions discussing each client's resume. This allows us to approach every career situation methodically. Every writer, regardless of tenure, follows the same proven methodology and quality standards.

Freelance writers work for multiple companies with varying standards—quality is inconsistent. Our full-time employees write exclusively for Resume Target, follow our methodology, and are accountable to our quality standards. Senior editors review every resume before delivery. This is how we maintain consistent results across 100,000+ clients.

Executive writers have graduated through our internal training program and passed specific steps to interview and write at the Senior Leader and Executive level. They have longer tenure with Resume Target and access to our in-house recruiters to discuss specific career narratives. They specialize in C-suite, VP, and Director-level positioning, understanding board narratives, executive presence, and complex career transitions. Standard packages are handled by our trained writers who excel at professional-level resumes across all career situations.
