How does Resume Target's resume writing service work?

Unlike questionnaire-based services, Resume Target conducts a 1-on-1 phone or video interview with your resume writer. Interview length ranges from 30 to 90 minutes based on your background complexity. Your writer uses the Resume Target Method™ with probing questions to uncover achievements and value you might overlook, then crafts a custom ATS-optimized resume within 3 business days.

How much does Resume Target cost?

Resume Target pricing is based on career level. Early Career (30-minute interview) $299, Professional (60-minute) $399, Senior Leader (60-minute) $549, Executive (90-minute) $749. Advanced and Ultimate tiers add Resume Distribution and LinkedIn Optimization services.

How long is the 1-on-1 interview with my resume writer?

Interview length matches your career level: Early Career package includes a 30-minute interview for entry-level professionals. Professional package includes a 60-minute interview for mid-career professionals. Senior Leader package includes a 60-minute interview for senior-level professionals and managers. Executive package includes a 90-minute interview for Directors, VPs, and C-Suite. Longer interviews allow writers to extract more achievements and create more impactful resumes.

How long does it take to get my resume?

Standard turnaround is 3 business days after your 1-on-1 interview. Rush services are available: 48-hour rush ($75), 24-hour rush ($150), or same-day rush ($250). Same-day requests must be submitted by 12 PM EST. Turnaround times do not include weekends.

What makes Resume Target different from other resume writing services?

Resume Target uses the Resume Target Method™—a 1-on-1 interview approach rather than questionnaires or AI. Our writers are North American employees (not freelancers) with journalism backgrounds trained to ask probing questions that uncover achievements you might overlook. With 100,000+ clients since 2003 and a 98% interview success rate, our method is proven to get results.

Does Resume Target offer a guarantee?

Yes, Resume Target offers a 90-Day Interview Guarantee. If you don't land a job interview within 90 days of receiving your final resume (using the job titles discussed in your original interview), Resume Target will rewrite your resume at no additional cost. All packages also include unlimited revisions during the revision period.

Are Resume Target resumes ATS-optimized?

Yes, all Resume Target resumes are ATS (Applicant Tracking System) optimized. Our writers understand how ATS software parses resumes and use proper formatting, keywords, and structure to ensure your resume passes automated screening systems used by 99% of Fortune 500 companies.

What industries does Resume Target write resumes for?

Resume Target has over 20 years of experience writing resumes for 60+ industries including Technology, Healthcare, Finance, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, Operations, Manufacturing, Education, Government, Legal, Consulting, and more. Our writers are matched to your industry.

Does Resume Target help with LinkedIn profiles?

Yes, Resume Target offers LinkedIn Optimization as part of the Advanced and Ultimate packages, or as a standalone service ($200). The service includes optimizing your headline, summary, experience sections, and skills to increase profile visibility and recruiter engagement.

What is Resume Target's Resume Distribution service?

Resume Target's Resume Distribution service sends your professionally written resume to 300+ recruiters in your industry and location from our network of 18,000+ North American recruiters. This helps you access the hidden job market where 80% of positions are never publicly advertised. Included in Advanced and Ultimate packages, or $150 standalone.

Can Resume Target help with career changes?

Yes, Resume Target specializes in career transition resumes. During your 1-on-1 interview, your writer will identify transferable skills and reframe your experience for your target industry. For clients targeting multiple career paths, the 2nd Focused Resume service ($199.95) creates an additional resume tailored to a different role or industry.

Does Resume Target serve Canadian cities?

Yes, Resume Target serves 12 cities across Canada including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal, Edmonton, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Halifax, Quebec City, Winnipeg, and Regina. Our writers understand both Canadian and US job markets, ATS systems, and hiring practices. All services are delivered remotely via phone or video interview.

Where is Resume Target located?

Resume Target serves clients across the United States and Canada. All resume writers are North American employees located in the US and Canada—never outsourced overseas. Services are delivered via phone/video interview and online portal, so you can work with Resume Target from any location.

What is Resume Target's refund policy?
