+ How does this process work, step-by-step?

Step 1: Choose your package; and at checkout, select the most convenient time for our 1:1 consult. Your appointment date and time mark the official kick-off of your project. You’ll receive a confirmation of our appointment time so that you can add it to your calendar.

Step 2: Within 24-48 hours of your appointment, you’ll get a project intake questionnaire, including a request for any additional information to ensure your resume/LinkedIn Profile has all the information needed to help you shine.

Step 3: The project intake questionnaire will focus on your career aspirations and goals so we can best position you for the role you want. We’ll dive into your career history and cover everything from the disease states, to products, to accomplishments, to challenges, and your unique value proposition.

Step 4: We’ll get to work on your first draft. This usually takes anywhere from 7 to 10 business days and will be delivered via email.

Step 5: You’ll review the first draft including any additional questions and you’ll also have the opportunity to provide input and feedback. We ask that you submit revisions within 2 business days.

Step 6: Once we’ve received first-round feedback, we’ll send you a second draft within 3 business days hours. You’ll have the opportunity to request additional edits. You’ll have finalized versions within 2 business days.

Note: We do our best to get you your final documents as soon fast as possible. We do not take RUSH orders - all projects are processed in the order they are received.

+ What makes The Essential Resume different?

Resume and LinkedIn services vary greatly in their approach (and the final product!). Here are some of the things that make us different:

• Our extensive industry-specific experience: Your resume and/or LinkedIn profile will be crafted with the industry specifics i.e. what are recruiter and hiring managers looking for vs overhauled by a resume generalist who doesn’t have an expertise in the biopharma/biotech world and doesn’t know the key questions to ask to uncover what’s really important to a hiring manager or recruiter.
• Customized Deliverables: You get strategic one on one guidance from start to finish. Your finished Resume and/or LinkedIn marketing documents are specifically designed to support your goals, career vision, help you stand out in all the right way within the industry, and get the attention you need from recruiters and hiring managers to land the interview and ultimately the job-which means this investment pays for itself often 10 ++++++ fold in either a salary bump or other sweet perks in a package.
• Rave customer reviews--and results: See above!

+ What’s the turnaround time?

Your first draft will be available for review within seven to ten business days from the time you complete our 1:1 consultation.

+ How do I get started?

1. Select your package.
2. Schedule a time for our 1:1 consult.
3. Upload your current resume if you have one.

+ Will you coach me on how to adjust my resume (and/or cover letter) for different roles or companies?

Yes. Along with writing your material(s), I’ll also explain how best to use them, including how to customize them for each application. Additionally, I encourage you to reach out to me with questions!

+ What’s your guarantee and refund policy?

Payments for completed services are non-refundable.

If you order a combination package and choose not to utilize all the components of it, we do not adjust pricing. However, we will accommodate you should you wish to “postpone” any project components i (for example, if you ordered a cover letter but haven’t found the exact job you want to apply to.)

If you become unreachable during the project, we'll follow up with a reminder.

If you become unreachable or do not respond to reminders after two weeks time; we reserve the right to consider your project abandoned and complete 90 days from your initial purchase, and no refunds will be offered.

Should you need an extension for any reason, simply send an email request and we will respond within three to five business days. We understand things come up and can accommodate most requests.
