"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?"

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 retail 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.
