If You're Looking For A Chicago Resume Service...

...you may be missing something. Did you know there are online alternatives?

Yes, there are a number of good resume services in Chicago. But it does requires driving to get to one. And they may have office hours that don't jibe with yours. And how do you decide which one?

If you're just starting to look for a resume writing service, take a moment to think about the following: a good resume writer, like any other professional today, is connected. Specifically, connected to the Web. In fact, you might be surprised at just how many are conducting their business over the Internet. With that being the case, why tether yourself only to writers with a physical presence in Chicago?

Chicago, You've Got Choices

There's an ever increasing chance that your ideal resume writer, a professional certified resume writer with a work history in your very industry, might be living in St. Louis or Memphis or Boston. What if I told you that you could access that writer with the click of a mouse? And that the entire transaction could be handled by phone, email and fax – that you'd never have to step inside an office?

Chicago, You're Going To Love What We've Done

We've taken 10 of the most popular Resume Writing Services on the Web and put them through their paces. These are companies that collectively employ hundreds of professional writers covering a broad spectrum of industries and occupations. We wrote in-depth reviews for each resume service, and gave them star ratings based on the following:

  • Writer Certification
  • Price and Value
  • Quality of Workmanship
  • Personal Attention
  • Satisfaction Guarantee
  • Timeliness
A Chicago Resume Service... Or A Web-Based Writer Who Best Matches Your Needs?

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 Dan Ryan Expressway!

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

Chicago is a major world financial center, with the second largest central business district in the U.S. The city is the headquarters of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (the Seventh District of the Federal Reserve). The city is also home to three major financial and futures exchanges, including the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (the "Merc"), which includes the former Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT). Perhaps due to the influence of the Chicago school of economics, the city also has markets trading unusual contracts such as emissions (on the Chicago Climate Exchange) and equity style indices (on the U.S. Futures Exchange).

The city and its surrounding metropolitan area are home to the second largest labor pool in the United States with approximately 4.25 million workers.

Manufacturing, printing, publishing and food processing also play major roles in the city's economy. Several medical products and services companies are headquartered in the Chicago area, including Baxter International, Abbott Laboratories, and the Healthcare Financial Services division of General Electric.
