How We Write Resumes By E-Mail
Before I began writing resumes via the internet and e-mail, I spent 10 years writing resumes with clients in person asking dozens of questions and then rewriting the entire resume with them. Working on time-pressure I learned how to create powerful resumes in an average of 2.5 hours. From those years of experience, I have developed a keen ability to quickly analyze the top skills needed for particular industries and market each individual's strongest traits and achievements to match the jobs and salary desired. I now apply the same skills working with resume clients by email.   You send your resume, I ask a lot of questions and use your answers to rewrite your entire resume.

Melissa and I can complete the majority of resumes in 2.5 hours (Melissa provides the $150 resume writing service for clients with a $20,000 to $59,000 salary range or Regina provides the $250 resume writing service for clients with $60,000+ salary range) if the resume contains only 4-5 jobs.  Those that contain 6 to 8 or 10 jobs can take a bit longer to complete.  If you are concerned about how long it will take and if the cost will be more than the $150 (for Melissa's service) or $250 for my resume writing session, send me a short note to r.pontow@provenresumes.com with your resume and I'll give you an estimate of the cost and time required.  There are times when someone can have 6 or more positions in the resume but it doesn't take longer to complete - such as older experience that is good to list in order to show experience but doesn't need to be described in detail.  Again, send your resume with a short note and I'll be glad to provide you with feedback on cost and time estimates. 

How Quickly I Can Complete Your Resume
Generally, I like to have 5 to 8 business days to complete your resume (see next paragraph if you need your resume more quickly). That includes sending your information to me and the first day my reviewing it and sending you initial questions.  I usually put you back on my schedule the day after you return answers.  Then I revise the first job in your resume and send it to you for review.  You return it and I put you back on my schedule the next day.  I then revise the rest of the body of your resume and send it to you for review.  You return your comments or changes and I put you back on my schedule for the next day.  Then I write the objective and summary section and send it to you as a final draft.  In this way we actively work together and you are able to let me know what you like or if there is some additional area of expertise you would like included or emphasized.  

If You Need Your Resume More Quickly
If you need your resume sooner than 5-8 business days, send me a note with your resume and let me check my schedule to see if I can fit you in.  I don't take rush jobs that I charge additional fees for because I won't bump existing clients who have already paid.  I don't feel it's fair or professional for me to put off a prior client's work for a day or two so that I can complete a job that I will be paid more for.  However, if you need the work done more quickly and I have time to do so without bumping anyone else, then I will let you know if I can meet your timeline.
