FAQ’s

For Resume & Career Service Clients

I already have a resume.  Why do I need a Certified  Professional Resume Writer?

On average,100 applicants apply for every single job listing. Is your resume going to stand out? Just getting noticed is the first challenge any job seeker must overcome. As a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW) and a Certified Technical Writer, Travis brings focus to your document design, creating a resume that shows why you have the skills and traits your target employer needs to succeed.

Why do I need Interview Coaching?

It is estimated that only 2% of people practice their interviewing skills, and only 25% of people do research in preparation for an employment interview. Travis then sits down with you (on the phone or over Google Meet) and coaches you through the interview process so you are 100% prepared. Travis spends time with you so that you can speak to every point on your document and get ready for multiple interview scenarios.  This coaching gives you the advantage.  Through a collaborative resume-building process and one-on-one time, you will be prepared to speak to your potential employer confidently and land the job.

How does the process work?

All services are available via contract; this way, we can customize your plan to your needs. A 50 % deposit is due upon initiation of the agreement. A Final 50% payment is due at the completion of contract terms.  We will schedule a meeting time and create the timeline for your project.  Each resume includes 2 weeks of free revisions.
