Why do resume writer costs vary so much and what is the difference between them anyway?

If you are trying to determine Price vs. Value in selecting a resume writer and want to know why pricing varies so much between various resume writers, then this general guideline should assist.

If a resume writer is a secretarial type of operation, or an internet-based ‘cookie-cutter’ type of operation, expect to pay up to $200. For this you will get top notch help with formatting, but don’t expect any professional writing services.

If the resume writer is not certified, and has less than 3 years experience, expect to pay up to $400 – $600.  (Note many ex-recruiters and HR personnel fall into this category, because while they have seen thousands of resumes, very few know how to actually write a job-winning resume).

If a resume writer is certified, offering 5+ year’s experience with a proven reputation, expect to pay up to $500 – $700 for a resume.

If the resume writer is a Certified Master Resume Writer, with industry endorsements, a proven record of success for clients and over 10 years experience, expect to pay up from $800 to $1,500 or more for a resume. (Please note that there are only a small handful of writers that fall into this category worldwide and I’m one of them).

The saying ‘you get what you pay for’ is on the whole very true in this industry. I invest hours to make sure you are presented in the strongest way possible, including strategising on how to present you in such a way so that you outshine your competitors. For the time spent to ensure you are an ‘unbeatable candidate’, our prices are not expensive. Cheap services are cheap for a reason.
