Our Service:

A thorough review will come later, the purpose of the Quick Review is so the reviewer can get comfortable with your level of experience and background before talking with you in person. After you receive the answers to your written Targeted Questions and be asked to schedule a time to talk personally with your reviewer for a PreConsult. The PreConsult will help the reviewer understand more about you, your goals, and previous experience and help them determine what approach to take in reviewing your resume.
After the PreConsult the reviewer will provide a thorough and complete review of your resume and mark it up accordingly. You will be sent the markup for review. You will then have an opportunity to discuss any changes personally with the reviewer during your PostConsult, you will decide on what changes to your resume you agree with and accept or reject them accordingly.
