ExecutiveRésumé Consultation $95/hr
For those seeking guidance from a career expert on updating, developing, and restrategizing their résumé and career.
Perhaps you're changing careers, re-entering the workforce, transitioning out of the military, shifting roles, juggling objectives, lacking focus, or facing a non-linear work history. Whatever the case, BrightSide can help.
As certified résumé writers, we have the training and expertise to help you remember and acknowledge great things about yourself. And with our background in career counseling and job-search coaching, we'll help you restructure your career, not just your résumé. You'll gain insight into what hiring managers look for and learn exactly how to augment your approach so that it wins you job offers.
Before we even pick up the phone, we'll spend at least 20 minutes reviewing your résumé to prepare questions and develop strategies specific to your field and job search. Then, we'll coach you on how to clarify and articulate your objective, devise an effective strategy, and identify and emphasize relevant skills and accomplishments. If necessary, we'll discuss the pros and cons of the various résumé formats (e.g. chronological, functional, hybrid, and creative).
Phone consultations typically last from 1-2 hours.

Résumé Writing $125/hr
For those looking to have a résumé written from scratch, rewritten, added to, or updated with recent achievements.
The ideal résumé will not only get you to the interview; it will help you through the interview, by preemptively and comprehensively answering the hiring team's questions about your work history. With no further reason to discuss your résumé, your interviewers will take the time to get to know you in hopes of developing a rapport. This is exactly the direction in which you want the interview to go.
First, we'll craft an introductory summary section-the key to producing a cohesive, persuasive marketing document. Then, we'll build in compelling job-duty and accomplishment statements that hook your audience. We'll make sure your résumé contains all the necessary elements that demand attention and inspire action.
Résumés from scratch typically take 3-8 hours to complete; Résumé updates vary in price depending on how much experience we're adding and whether you've changed job objectives.

Résumé Polish $95/hr
For those who are happy with their résumé's content but seeking to improve its overall appearance, including its presentation, structure, navigability, grammar, and spelling.
An effective résumé will truly make you look good on paper which is why we've developed a finishing service focused entirely on perfecting the appearance of your document(s).
The appearance of your résumé is critical-it sets the stage for how the hiring manager is going to read through your content. If your résumé's "look and feel" is pleasing, he/she will review it with the hopes of finding data that strengthens your candidacy. However, if your résumé is confusing, cluttered, unbalanced, amateurish, or drab (even at a glance), that person will most likely begin searching your résumé for a reason to dismiss you.
We'll dramatically enhance your résumé's appearance by addressing visual issues such as margins, balance, alignment, justification, pagination, word and line spacing, and size and selection of bullets and fonts. We'll highlight important sections of your résumé through graphical elements such as rule lines, text boxes, shadow boxes, shading, tables, columns, and other advanced word-processing tricks.
The BrightSide Résumé Polish will also resolve mechanical awkwardness such as grammatical errors, misspellings, typographical inconsistencies, punctuation problems, and tense agreement. It's our job to know all of the rules you've tried to forget since grade school: semi-colons, hyphens, serial commas, quotation marks, capitalization, syllabication. Don't worry; we got you covered.
Your résumé will become both attractive and impeccably consistent, glowing with personality and professionalism. Have a look at our collection of résumé samples to see how beautiful your résumé can look.
Résumé Polishes usually take 1-2 hours to complete, depending on your level of experience and the current state of your résumé
