Frequently asked questions
Why should I hire a professional?
Investing in a professional resume writer can significantly impact your career prospects. If you’re overwhelmed or seeking a competitive edge, consider hiring one! Here are some reasons that hiring a professional writer is a good investment.
What makes a professionally written resume better than one I can write myself?
Most resumes describe responsibilities. A professionally written resume communicates value, results, and strategy, the exact factors hiring managers use to make decisions.
At EBR HR Experts, you’re benefiting from real HR hiring experience, modern hiring trends, ATS compliance, and strategic storytelling that connects your background to what employers are actually looking for today.
What questions should I be asking before I hire a writer?
Choosing the right resume writer is a critical step in your job-search journey. Your resume is often the first impression you make on hiring managers, recruiters, or board-selection committees. By asking the right questions upfront, you ensure you’re working with a writer who understands your goals, knows how to market your experience, and aligns with your budget and timeline. Here's what we recommend you consider.
Why does it cost so much?
A resume isn’t a document, it’s a career asset that determines whether you get interviews, offers, and leverage.
Our pricing reflects:
• Years of HR and hiring expertise
• Market research into your industry
• Keyword optimization for ATS
• Professional writing, editing, and formatting
• Strategy sessions and revisions
Most clients earn back their investment within their first paycheck in the new role.
When written correctly, your resume is an investment, not an expense.
Can I see samples before making a purchase?
We do not provide samples before purchase. While common advice suggests asking for samples, we believe content is what truly matters, not just appearance. A good-looking sample doesn't guarantee an effective resume. Learn more about our philosophy here.
Can you guarantee that I'll get interviews or a job?
No ethical resume writer can guarantee a job or interview due to many factors beyond our control. However, our clients often report more interviews, faster callbacks, and greater confidence in their materials. We offer unlimited revisions for our resume rewrites (excluding the Review & Refresh). If you're not getting the results you expect, let us know, and we'll continue to work with you at no extra charge unless you change directions or add a new role.
What do you need from me before you begin?
Your most recent resume, a job target (or two), and answers to our intake questions.
If you haven’t updated your resume in years, that’s normal. We know what to look for and guide you through the rest. Don't have an old resume? As long as you can share information about your career history, that's ok!
You don't have to have it all figured out, we will help you get there!
