Will a professional resume writer do a better job than I can do myself?
Unless you are very skilled in the specialized area of resume writing... Yes! To be effective, a resume must be much more than a straightforward accounting of your career. It must be a unique marketing document that highlights your key skills and minimizes anything that might be seen as a liability. (liabilities can be things like lacking a key area of experience, too long in one industry, no degree, long gaps between jobs, too little time in one industry...) Our resume writers have the expertise to shape your background and experience into a truly compelling document that generates interviews. A Blue Sky resume writer understands the current job market, the needs of recruiters and hiring managers and the best ways to present your background to match these needs. We are objective about your experience and can often see areas of strength that were not emphasized at all on your original resume. Your new resume will be dramatically better than the one you started out with and you'll see the difference in the results.

How much will a professional resume cost?
Because each situation is different, we cannot answer this question without seeing your existing resume. If you send us your resume, we'll provide a no-obligation proposal for services. Request a professional resume proposal.

We do provide general price guidelines but prices are dependent on the complexity of the project and vary depending on the quality of your current resume, your years of experience, seniority and your goals.

How do I pay for my resume?
You can pay by credit card. We have partnered with Paypal, the leading internet transaction provider, and we will send you an invoice by email. You pay directly using any credit card. You can also pay by money order or by check.

Because of the time invested in interviewing and writing your resume, we require payment in advance of starting work.

How should I choose a resume writer?
Many people donąt know that there are professional certifications for resume writers. These certifications are only earned after rigorous testing and those who hold the qualification must adhere to a stringent ethical code. You should not hire a resume writer unless they are certified.

Look for someone who is either a CPRW (Certified Professional Resume Writer) or a NCRW (Nationally Certified Professional Resume Writer.)

You can check the qualifications of any resume writer online by visiting the website of the National Association of Professional Resume Writers (PARW) at www.parw.com and searching the database for CPRWs. Or by visiting the National Resume Writerąs Association at www.nrwa.com and searching their database for NCRWs.

You should also note that resumes styles vary. If a resume writer does not post samples of his/her work on their website, ask to see samples before committing.

Will you guarantee that the resume you create will get me a job?
No one can guarantee this. Even the best resume is ineffective if not used properly. We provide strategic job search counseling to those clients who are unsure of the most effective approach to job search. After only a one hour session, you will be armed with personal marketing techniques and ideas and you will be able to create a job search plan and stick to it.

To further assist our clients, we have created a special section of our site where we post useful links, job boards, and a 20-page guide to job search strategy free of charge. Much of this information is specifically targeted towards those in creative professions/industries and career changers.

How long does it take to get my new resume?
We guarantee to turn your resume around within 5 business days, although we are usually faster than this and this depends on your availability for interviews and responsiveness to follow-up questions.

How can I be sure my information will remain confidential?
We do not reveal your information to anyone without your express written permission. We do not sell information to outside vendors and we do not talk about you to employers or recruiters. The only exception to this rule is that, if we hear about a position that suits you, we may contact you and ask if you would like to be referred.

Do you have to meet me in person to write a great resume?
Absolutely not! Our clients live all over the country. We work by telephone and email and can learn all about your background via questionnaires and an in-depth phone conversation.
