... yes, there are a number of resume writing services in Kansas City. And sometimes you just want to deal with a local business. Though we can't make any recommendations, we can help you organize your search.

We've also put together some Kansas City employment resources (see box below, right). But now for some alternative thinking. And it's simple logic really. A good resume writer, like any other professional today, is connected. Specifically, connected to the Web. In fact, you may be surprised at how many are conducting their business over the Internet. With that being the case, there's no need to tether yourself only to writers with a physical presence in Kansas City.

Each day that passes, there's ever increasing odds that your ideal resume writer, a certified writer with a work history in your very industry, might be living in St. Louis or Indianapolis or Buffalo – and not Kansas City, Missouri. What if we told you that you could access that writer with a few clicks of a mouse? And that the entire transaction could be handled by phone, email and fax?

Pricing for these 10 Resume Services range from $89 to $249 for a mid-level professional. Prices at the higher range reflect an actual interview with you over the phone to discuss your work history, and 2-3 hours of work by your writer to craft a resume that will get results.

I'll be honest; although each was popular, not every service rated the same. In fact, the ratings range from 5 stars to a single star. You'll find that our 5-star "Top Picks" offer the most value and service.

[Note: If you're pressed for time, you might like to know that ResumeWriters.com received our highest rating. With certified writers specializing in 5 dozen career fields, this company has been delivering a 99.98% customer satisfaction rating since 1998. Plus, they've got one of the strongest guarantees in the industry... if you haven't gotten interviews within 60 days, they'll re-write your resume at no charge. You can even choose to work with a new writer for a totally fresh take on your resume. That cinched the deal with us.]

All of this, and no Road Rage on I-670!

Visit our home page, Review of Resume Writers, and judge for yourself. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at your options. If not, well, you can always fire up the car and strike out in search of a local firm. Either way, best of luck in your job search.
