My Rates

---

In general, a one-page resume ballpark is $250-$300; a two-page resume ballpark is $300-$450. For coaching, a ballpark is $100-$250. 

My rates are considered fair and you can read my online reviews for validation of this. Also, my rates are not “etched in stone” either and I always try to work with clients, which again, is why I provide a free consultation.

HOW I'M DIFFERENT: VERY PERSONALIZED AND CUSTOMIZED SERVICE 

Let me explain why I don't quote "specific" rates online here.

My rates are based on my time investment. And my time investment – like for a one-page resume or an editing project – involves more than just the writing component. Unlike many of my competitors, I also provide telephone support to every single client, no matter the project, so I clearly understand their goals and surpass their expectations. Since every prospective customer has different needs, my time investment with each project is unique. Make sense?

The reason I provide a free consultation is to determine if my services are a fit and vice versa. So at a logical and practical level, I do not provide quotes via email if I have not had an opportunity to speak with the prospective client.

WHAT TO ASK ANY RESUME WRITER OR CAREER COACH 

When inquiring about rates, you should ask (me and) any resume writer:

"Is there telephone support?"

"What is the process?" 

"How quickly will you deliver?"

"Do you offer a money back guarantee? If so, how it work?"

My process of how we will work together is very detailed here.

IT'S YOUR MONEY. BE SURE YOU'RE PAYING FOR RESULTS

I've been doing this a long time because I'm very, very good.

Any writer offering to complete a new resume for $99.00 or $150.00 is most likely:

A) probably not going to provide you with telephone support and;

B) if so, is likely not very good or experienced, and therefore is offering bargain basement rates! Tread with caution.

I am more than just "a writer." I am a Career Coach. Prior to becoming a Career Coach, I hired employees while working for two different companies. My difference is results because my results define why you chose to hire me.

As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." Besides my time, you are paying for my experience and track record of delivering results, otherwise there’s no point in hiring me! And remember - you are making an investment in your future!

There is no charge for a consultation. I can be reached anytime at 858-531-7128 or joecsd@gmail.com. Please feel free to email your existing resume and/or LinkedIn profile and a good day/time to talk. I look forward to hearing from you!
