Professional Resume Writer: Common Questions and Answers

? Does Hiring a Resume Writer Guarantee a Job?

The answer is "No." A resume will not guarantee you a job. However, it can present your achievements, contributions, and background in a way that grabs the recruiter’s attention. A well-written resume can get you noticed and increase your chances of being shortlisted for the next steps in the hiring process.

However landing the job requires passing written tests, interviews, and any other assessments the employer may have. A resume writer won’t take these tests for you. So, no, a resume itself does not guarantee employment.

? Should You Update Your Resume Yourself or Hire a Resume Writer?

While I’m a freelance resume writer alongside my full-time job, I still believe it’s always better to update your resume yourself if you can. So why do people hire resume writers?

From my experience, people who have been working for many years or are extremely busy with other commitments often lack the time to update their resumes. Some also struggle to showcase their background effectively. In such cases, hiring a professional writer can be a practical solution.

? "If Someone Can’t Update Their Resume, They’re Not Qualified for a Job!"

This statement couldn’t be further from the truth. Let me share some examples:

• I once updated the resume of an Assistant Director – Grants from Stanford University. Does that mean they aren’t qualified for their role?
• I worked on the resume of a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the U.S. Army who is now a senior consultant for a federal government project. Would you say they’re not competent?
• Even the Head of HR at a private bank in Bangladesh hired me to update their resume. Does that make them unqualified?

The reality is not about their qualifications—it’s about TIME. These professionals simply didn’t have the time to sit down and craft their resumes, and that’s where I stepped in. On the other hand, I turn down clients who think hiring a resume writer guarantees them a job, as they often don’t value the effort or process behind it.

? The Resume Writing Process

Here’s how I approach resume writing:

1. I review the client’s current resume and provide detailed feedback.
2. Once the payment is confirmed, I send a document with all the questions I need answered.
3. After receiving the information, I organize and format it into a well-structured resume.
4. I share the draft with the client, make corrections if needed, and finalize the document.
5. The completed resume is delivered.

? How Much Does Resume Writing Cost?

The cost depends on your background. A fresher or someone with 1-2 years of experience requires less work than someone with 5-7 years of experience. I typically review the background first before discussing pricing. However, compared to other writers and agencies in the local market, my charges are generally lower.

? My Experience as a Resume Writer

Since 2020, I’ve been providing resume writing services on Fiverr. So far, I’ve worked with 176 individual clients from 43 countries, completing 246 orders. While the order count might seem low, the actual number of resumes I’ve worked on exceeds 800, as I freelanced for two agencies in the U.S. and Israel for 1.5 years. These agencies often paid for multiple projects under a single order.

Locally, I’ve updated over 600 resumes in the past two years, primarily for bankers and corporate professionals.

? Clients I Don’t Work With

I don’t take on projects for:

? Clients who expect a resume update to guarantee a job.

? Those who compare my services to writers offer cheap rates (e.g., $1-$2 per resume).

? Freshers without any extracurricular activities, training, volunteering, workshops, or seminars. Their resumes often lack enough material to work with.

? People who are disrespectful or difficult to communicate with.

If you lack the time to update your resume or feel the need for professional help, feel free to reach out. I’ll do my best to provide a service that meets your expectations.
