...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
|
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.
