Do it yourself, or hire a coach?
| Doing it yourself | Usually enough when | A coach earns the fee when | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resume | 4 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. |
Times are our estimates. Try Callings.
Questions to ask before hiring
- Do you write it yourself, how many revision rounds are included, and do I keep editable files? (done-for-you writing)
- What are your cancellation and refund terms? (no refund terms on their site)
- Who do you usually work with, and how long does a typical engagement last? (always worth asking)
