How they work

Process
Client selects services and completes questionnaire · Phone consultation to discuss questionnaire, resume, and job search strategy · Draft resume creation · First draft delivered within 7-10 business days

Do it yourself, or hire a coach?

Doing it yourselfUsually enough whenA coach earns the fee when
Resume4 to 8 hours for a strong base, then about 30 minutes per posting. Callings can tailor it to each job.You are staying in the same field and level and have recent results to cite.You are changing field or level, coming back after a long break, or many applications brought no interviews.
Personal brandA consistent story across your resume, LinkedIn and a personal page. Callings builds the page, free.The role you want does not depend on visibility.Visibility or thought leadership is part of the role.

Times are our estimates. Try Callings.

Questions to ask before hiring

  1. Do you write it yourself, how many revision rounds are included, and do I keep editable files? (done-for-you writing)
  2. If I land a job partway through, what happens to the sessions I have not used? (multi-session package)
  3. What are your cancellation and refund terms? (no refund terms on their site)
  4. Which body issued your credential, and can I check it there? (credential listed)
  5. Who do you usually work with, and how long does a typical engagement last? (always worth asking)

Their website promises results: "I guarantee your satisfaction with your documents and that your confidence in your job search will be dramatically improved. I can’t guarantee that you’ll get a job because your resume is only the start of your job search.". No coach can guarantee a job, interviews or a placement rate. Be careful with anyone who does, and with promises of a "hidden job market" or exclusive recruiter access.
