Our goal is to provide you top quality and service at a reasonable, competitive price in all that we do. Since everyone has different needs and backgrounds, the ranges shown below are only averages. Factors that raise or lower costs include the complexity of your background, pre-existing drafts, number of pages, time constraints, copies desired, etc. Rest assured that we will do our best to accommodate your budgetary requirements. Premier Package Discounts Any combination of services, other than Web Portfolios, listed below receives an automatic 15% discount. Take advantage of this special opportunity to get all of your career marketing needs taken care of at once! Clear, well-written résumés in a wide variety of formats and styles tailored to your individual needs. Regardless of your professional level, industry, or education, we can accommodate you in the best of fashions at a fair and reasonable price. (Note: All clients will receive a free Ascii version (aka text version) of their new or updated résumé regardless of its length) Average price ranges are as follows: Senior Executives $350 – $650 Mid-level Managers or Professionals $175 – $395 Junior Managers or Recent College Grads $75 - $200 Straightforward, crisply written, and targeted to your audience. Prices start at $55 per page and may range as high as $175 for web pages, broadcast letters, and other special needs communications. Included in this category are: Ř Executive Recruiter Letters Designed to meet the requirements of both contingency and retainer firms. [Tip: Contingency recruiters are paid a fee by the company that hires you only when you are placed. Retainer firms, by contrast, are paid up front by companies to look for specified individuals, usually to fill an upper-level position. In neither case, do you the job-seeker have to pay a fee.] Ř Ad Responses These can range from answering Internet or published media help wanted ads to essays in response to posted positions. Business-like but creative, they are designed to separate you from other applicants for a position. Ř Direct-to-Company Letters. Used in both mass mailings and in tightly focused letters to hiring managers at specific companies of interest. They are a must whenever a résumé is sent to a prospective employer. Ř Informational Interview Letters If you are changing careers—or even just thinking about it—this represents a tried-and-true first step to a successful transition. Informational Interview letters are carefully worded requests for advice and direction from decision-makers in fields you wish to explore. Ř No Response Follow-up Letters Used to renew interest upon the part of an prospective employer who has not replied to your initial letter or phone call. Ř Interview Follow-ups Letters designed not just to thank an interviewer for his or her time, but also to emphasize areas in which you can meet their needs. Ř Broadcast Letters Broadcast letters, which may be 2-3 pages in length, are carefully constructed combinations of your résumé and a cover letter. Created to showcase your primary strengths, experience, and ways in which you can be of help, they are aimed at specific company executives, and always followed with a phone call. Effective tools for getting around the “secretarial screen.” Ř Target of Opportunity Letters New plant openings, media or trade journal articles, executive promotions, and other similar events all represent pretexts for approaching potential employers regarding potential openings. Ř Response to Rejection Letters Persistence does pay off! Remember that whomever they did hire might not work out or other openings may develop. These letters are written to reiterate your continued interest in the company and why you think you should be kept in mind. Ř Position Acceptance Letters More than just a thank-you letter, it is a professional, tactful acknowledgement of agreed-upon or negotiated items in your being hired Very highly recommended for the senior executive or manager who wishes to gain an advantage over his competition. The newest and hottest wrinkle in executive job campaigning, custom-written web portfolios typically include a home page, bio, résumé, and 5 – 7 supporting pages that illustrate and substantiate your background and experience.

We provide all of our clients an ASCII-formatted version of their résumé at no cost regardless of the number of pages. ASCII versions (also known as text versions), which are a bit tricky to set up properly, are ideal for posting your résumé on the Internet or for pasting it into emails when requested or advisable.

Learn how to overcome just about any type of problem in getting your career moving forward...fast! n Marketing Plans "Okay, you've written a dynamite resume and cover letter for me. Now what should I do with them?" So many--too many--of us think that answering a few ads or registering with some recruiters will do the job. In the end, they waste months and months in a job search when had they only had a logical plan, appropriate tools, and sound advice, they could have avoided many headaches and saved thousands of dollars. n Job-finding Techniques Closely linked to Marketing Plans, these are proven methods for finding jobs. They include advice and tools on using all the many powers of the Internet in addition to the more traditional methods inherent in answering ads, selecting and using recruiters, etc. n … and many others.
