Online since 1998, ResumeEdge.com is the chosen resume partner for Yahoo!
HotJobs and the Wall Street Journal's
CareerJournal.com, not to mention the U.S. Air
Force. With over 250 resume writers and career coaches
specializing in 40 different industries, the company can
arguably claim to be one of the leading resume writing and
editing services online.
How it works:
Select the resume writing service that best fits your
experience level (student and entry-level at $139.95,
professional at $199.95, or executive at $259.95). Pay online
for the service, complete their exclusive questionnaire
detailing your strengths and accomplishments, and upload your
existing resume, if you have one. A writer in your specialty
area will contact you to arrange and conduct a personal phone
interview. The resume is prepared within 48 to 72 hours
after assignment to your writer. Your order is then accessible
via the ResumeEdge customer control panel.
After your resume has been delivered, you have 7 days to
continue working with your writer one-on-one, via phone and
email, if need be for any changes or corrections.
Here's what we liked:
- They use Certified Professional Resume Writers,
employing a network of over 250 writers throughout the
country.
- One on one. The telephone interview is an
integral part of their business model, which is good.
- Option to select your resume's design from
their extensive gallery, or have your writer determine the
layout best suited to your experience and goals.
- The resumes are keyword optimized for easy
scanning by potential employers and online searchers.
- Free ASCII version of the resume, in addition to
the standard Microsoft Word format.
- Sample resumes are available on the web
site to give you an idea of the quality of writing.
- Pricing is reasonable and spelled out in
detail.
Here's what we didn't like:
- One of the sample resumes presented contained a photo
of the candidate, a design element that goes against our
better judgement.
- The word "guarantee" seems not in their vocabulary.
True, they offer 7 days to fix any problems (up to 2 rounds
of revisions), and that should be more than enough for most
folks. But I suppose we're a bit spoiled by the "happiness
guarantee" over at e-resume.net,
not to mention the "guaranteed interviews" over at
Resume Corner, Inc. and
AspirationsResume.com.
In summary, you've got to appreciate the fact that the
venerable Wall Street Journal gave these
resume writers the nod and partnered with them on their online
publication CareerJournal.com. That speaks volumes.
While we would like to have seen a more confident guarantee, we
believe they offer a top notch product and we have no problem
recommending their services.
