A resume is a document and marketing tool that summarizes your personal brand value, skills, and accomplishments. The purpose of a resume in the career search process is to help facilitate interviewing and networking. The goal of developing well-crafted resumes is to positively differentiate yourself from the crowd so you can capitalize on new opportunities.

We develop resumes for high school, college, and graduate students, and young professionals with up to 10 years of experience so candidates can present experiences, credentials, and potential to others. First, we establish a true partnership by helping you clarify your goals, personal brand image, and unique story to set you apart from the crowd. Then, we create meticulously crafted,  custom resumes for interviewing, networking, posting online, and writing applications that inform, impress, and compel others to want to learn more. In the process, you'll develop insights and a positive mindset by boosting capabilities, confidence, and connections.

Using one of three formats (traditional, transitional, or modern), we write up to three resumes - one “core” resume suitable for any opportunity and two “targeted” resumes for specific ones. A "core" resume conveys your educational and work experiences, skills, and other accomplishments, and it is suitable for any opportunity. A "targeted" resume is one written for a specific career opportunity. In some cases, using a "targeted" resume increases your chances for success because it allows you to communicate your message more directly to your audience.

Resume development includes formatting, unlimited editing, and professional outside proofreading services. You receive resumes in Microsoft Word and PD within seven days on average. This enables immediate use and future independent editing by you. Our process includes conducting one 20-minute complimentary telephone call and one 30-minute telephone call after you receive Draft #1, followed by 3-5 rounds of minor editing by email.

Services begin once Candidate has agreed to this Contract Agreement (see below) and provided a nonrefundable deposit of $95 by credit card, with final payment due on project completion. Alternatively, Client may choose to remit full payment, including the $95 nonrefundable deposit, by Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or credit card. If after reviewing the first resume draft, Candidate does not wish to proceed with resume development for any reason, Prep Your Path agrees to terminate the project while retaining the $95 nonrefundable deposit and, if the work was initiated with full payment, refunding the difference.

We guarantee 100% satisfaction by editing resumes until you're 100% satisfied. Once you receive your resumes, you may then move forward with the career search process or obtain additional coaching services as needed.
