Best Public Relations Candidate
When a hiring manager reads your resume, they should think:
"This person has solved the exact problems we're facing."

"Tell me about the biggest project you led last year..."
2. We Uncover the Goals
What were the goals of the project? The company's objectives? Your specific responsibilities? We connect your work to business outcomes.
"What was the company trying to achieve with this?"
3. We Document Your Systems
What systems, processes, and strategies did you implement to achieve those goals? This is where your expertise becomes visible.
"Walk me through how you actually made this happen..."
4. For Managers & Leaders
What challenges did you face? How did you deal with them? What systems and strategies did you implement to overcome obstacles?
"What was the biggest challenge, and how did you solve it?"
The Result?

Frequently Asked Questions About Public Relations Resume Writing Services
Get answers to common questions about our professional public relations resume writing service.
How much does a professional public relations resume cost?
Professional public relations resume writing services typically cost between $199 and $749, depending on your career level. Entry-level/student resumes start at $199 (15-minute interview), early career at $299 (30 minutes), professional at $399 (60 minutes), senior at $549 (60 minutes with senior writer), and executive at $749 (90 minutes with executive format).
What makes a PR resume writer different from a general resume writer?
PR resume writers understand communications terminology — from earned media value and share of voice to crisis communications and message development. We know how to present media placements, campaigns, and reputation metrics in ways that resonate with PR hiring managers. Our 1-on-1 interview process extracts quantified achievements that questionnaire-based services miss.
How do you handle media placements and campaigns on PR resumes?
We strategically present your media placements, campaigns, and communications results with quantified metrics — impressions, share of voice, sentiment shift, and business impact. We highlight your relationships with top-tier outlets, crisis response capabilities, and strategic communications experience in context of measurable outcomes.
How long does it take to get a PR resume written?
You'll receive your first draft within 3 business days after your interview. Rush options are available: 48-hour rush, 24-hour rush, or same-day delivery for urgent job applications. After receiving your draft, you have 14 days of unlimited revisions.
Do you offer a guarantee on public relations resumes?
Yes. We offer a 90-Day Interview Guarantee — if you don't land interviews within 90 days of receiving your final resume, we'll completely rewrite it free of charge. With a 98% interview success rate, we're confident in our work.
How competitive is the PR job market in 2026?
Based on our analysis of 18,000+ public relations job postings, the average position receives 62 applicants. If you apply to 20 jobs in a typical 30-day search, you're competing against approximately 1,240 other candidates. A professionally written, ATS-optimized resume with quantified communications results helps you stand out in this competitive field.
