Resume Spice




If you're totally lost and have some money to spend, ResumeSpice is a resume writing and career coach service created by recruiters that connects you with a "resume expert" to build your CV from scratch. 

Once you choose, you'll fill out a short questionnaire and schedule a phone consultation with a resume expert to discuss your experience, job search and career goals. The expert will take that information and turn around a personalized resume draft within two business days. You can review the draft and request any changes, and you'll get the final version in PDF and Word formats. 

An entry-level resume costs $349, a professionally written resume costs $459, and an executive resume costs $569. You can also add a cover letter, LinkedIn profile, interview coaching or other services to help you be more competitive in the job market.

[ ResumeWriters.com]

ResumeWriters.com




ResumeWriters.com offers a guarantee: If you don't get a job interview with a potential employer within two months of getting your resume, they'll rewrite it for free. The service claims that in the 10 years and tens of thousands of resumes completed under this guarantee, it averages fewer than five requests for rewrites per year. 

To use the resume writing service, submit your current resume or career information on the site, and an experienced resume writer will contact you to assess your materials and plan out what you need. You'll get a first draft back within 72 hours, and can work with the writer on revisions until you're satisfied with the result. 

ResumeWriters offers student, professional, executive and career-change resume services, as well as CV services for those conducting their job search in fields specific to the military, IT and research. The professional resume service costs $200, or you can buy a resume and cover letter package of $270, or both of those plus a post-interview follow-up letter for $290.

[ Zipjob]

Zipjob




Zipjob offers professional resume writers who optimize your resume to get through the applicant tracking system software used by the majority of employers to automatically scan and sort resumes. An expert writes your resume and scans it through the ATS to ensure it will make it through to the hiring manager's desk. 

To use the service, upload your resume or fill out a form to start from scratch. You'll be matched with a professional resume writer who will work with you to improve it, and will then scan the final product to make sure it passes through the screening algorithms. Depending on which package you choose, your resume will be ready in three to seven days. 

Choose from three packages: Launch (resume writing and unlimited revisions for $139), Fast Track (adds a cover letter and a 60-day interview guarantee for $189) or Premium (adds a top resume writer, LinkedIn profile optimization, future resume updates and expedited delivery for $299).

Build-it-yourself resume options
If you need some guidance on creating or updating a resume but aren't ready to spring for professional service, check out these online resume-building iSEO Tools to help you find templates and guides for doing it yourself.






[ A free resume-building tool]




[ Resume.com]






[ ]

Resume.com




More than 6 million resumes have been created on Resume.com, a completely free platform that offers 24 different templates for creating your resume. You have the option to upload and edit an existing resume, create a new one, or to edit one of the resume samples offered on the site. It's intuitive and easy to use and creates a professional-looking quality resume.

When starting from scratch, you can either go through question prompts to build one (e.g. "Are you in school?") or go section by section, entering your education, employment history, hobbies and interests, professional skills, languages and references. You can also choose to forgo any of these sections or add custom ones depending on what you need. As you update and save each section, you can see how it will appear on the page on your resume preview to the right. You can also change the template, font style or size, and spacing any time and see it update in real-time in the preview. 

Once you're done, download your new resume in PDF, DocX, RTF or TXT format, create a custom URL or print it out. You also have the option to upload it to Indeed, a job-search site from Resume.com. If you're looking for something free and easy to use, Resume.com is a good tool to start with.

[ Resume Genius]

Resume Genius




The website Resume Genius claims you can "create your professional resume in 15 minutes." (I tested it out, and indeed had a solid first draft of an easy resume completed in about 10 minutes.) First, select one of 17 different template options, and then move through a series of questions (i.e. "Do you have work experience?" and "What's your highest level of education?"), which lead you to then fill out boxes of additional information. It's easy to move through, though you do have to do it in order, and fill in every text field before continuing. 

Where Resume Genius is particularly helpful is when filling in sections like "work responsibilities," you can search for a position, and see prewritten options that you can add or edit -- or just fill in your own. When finished, you can easily toggle between different templates to see what looks best for the final product. You also have the option to directly share your resume with Indeed or Resume Library. 

You can download the resume you create for $1.95 (which starts a 14-day trial), or $7.95 (which kicks off a monthly subscription plan). However, if you fail to cancel your trial before the 14 days are up, it will auto-renew to $40 per month.

[ A free resume resource guide]




[ Jobscan]






[ ]

Jobscan




Jobscan is a do-it-yourself resume service that automates the resume-building process using tools to help you get through applicant tracking systems before you apply. 

It stands out because of its free Learning Center, which offers guides for writing resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn profiles, as well as in-depth information about applicant tracking systems and how they work -- even if you don't sign up for the service. You can also quickly copy and paste or upload your resume and a job description to the site to scan it and see how much of a match you may be, and where you can improve. 

Jobscan offers some of its resume scanning help for free. You can also sign up for a three-month plan (plus one more month free) for $90 or an ongoing monthly plan for $50, both of which includes more templates and resume editing resources, as well as cover letter and LinkedIn optimization.

[ An assisted resume editing service]




[ Enhancv]






[ ]

Enhancv




Enhancv offers assisted resume editing, offering advice depending on the industry as well as suggestions and content editing. The service has resume templates for different industries, all of which are customizable and downloadable in PDF or TXT format. Resumes created through the service are designed for human recruiters, not applicant tracking systems, according to the site -- but you can go with cleaner templates to improve your chances of making it through. 

Get started with one of five templates free, or choose from three plans to get more options: Pro Semi-Annual ($66 billed every six months), Pro Quarterly ($45 billed every three months) or Pro Monthly ($20 billed once a month). Try the service free for seven days.
