Services for Career Professionals

“I am having great response from my resume and want to thank you for your work. I am expecting an offer from Microsoft before the new year; after 9 interviews I certainly would say I am in the running. Unfortunately my husband made the decision to go with another service. We received the first draft of his resume today and are very unhappy. I’ve included it with this email. Would you provide a quote for “fixing” this problem?” (Software Development Project Leader)

Career Professional Resume: As a career professional, you need a resume that highlights your skills and experiences in a way that makes an employer want to meet you. To be effective, your resume should not be a career “obituary” or list of jobs and responsibilities. It must highlight what you bring to the table in terms of skills, knowledge, and accomplishments. Your resume is a marketing tool that sells you to prospective employers. Use it to respond to advertised openings, to contact companies and recruiters, to send to your networking contacts and references, and to take with you to interviews.

Career Professional Resume Fees: The resume development serviceincludes an in-depth interview via e-mail, fax, and/or phone. Prices to compose from scratch or rewrite your resume range from $350 to $675 and are based on the project’s level of complexity. If you want more than one version of your resume for additional job targets, there will be an additional charge. As a general guideline, fees for new graduates start at $350, mid-career clients at $525, and engineers and high-tech at $600. Your resume drafts will be emailed to you in Microsoft Word format and you will receive your final resume in both Word and PDF.

Mini Bios for Internet Sites: Savvy career professionals know how to market themselves and network via business sites such as LinkedIn. BWCR can prepare a mini bio for these sites. The fee is $99 if ordered with your resume and $150 if ordered later. Fees are higher for those whose resume was not written by BWCR.

Text Only / ASCII Resume: If you plan to apply for jobs online and / or post your resume on the Internet, you will need a text-only version of your resume to paste into an e-mail or online form. The fee for converting your resume into text-only format is $35 for the first page and $25 per page for each additional page.

Cover Letter Package: The package includes three strategically written cover letter versions that you can use as templates for creating targeted letters: one for responding to advertisements for openings, one to be sent directly to companies in which you are interested, and one for targeting recruiters in your industry. The fee for the package is $250. Order it when you order your resume, and you will receive a 10% discount.

Targeted Cover Letters: Letters targeted toward specific employers are very effective. The fee for a targeted cover letter is $225.

Networking Letters: Networking remains the most effective way to find a new position, and networking letters are crucial to the job search. The fee is $225.
