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

...you may be missing something. Have you considered online alternatives?

OK – there are a number of good resume services in Houston. But it does requires driving to get to one. And they may have hours that don't jibe with your schedule. And how do you decide which Houston resume service gets the nod?

If you're just beginning to look, take a moment to think about this: a good resume writer, like any other professional today, is connected. Specifically, connected to the Web. In fact, you may 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 Houston?

Houston, You've Got Choices

Each day that passes, there's an ever increasing chance that your ideal resume writer, a certified resume writer with a work history in your very industry, might just be living in Dallas or Tulsa or New York. What if I 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? That you can forget the drive and never have to step inside an office?

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

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 Houston 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 Gridlock on the 610 Loop!

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 I-10 in search of a local firm. Either way, I wish you the best of luck in your job search.
