EDITING & FORMATTING OF MULTIPLE RESUMES FOR ONE COMPANY

We can offer a discount for editing multiple resumes (at least five) from one company. Generally, our rate is $45/hour; a resume often can take several hours to complete, particularly if updating (i.e., interviewing employees) is involved; however, we can discount this rate for large projects.

1. Please send us an example resume via e-mail (or call Dr. Oswald at 907-745-5674) and explain your needs (e.g., will you need us to contact individuals directly to get updated information? do you have a specific format in mind or already created?) and the number of resumes you have.

2. We will send you back a price quote. The more resumes needed, the greater your discount will be.

We have written, edited, and formatted hundreds of resumes for firms, and our clients have been very pleased with our results!

Examples of Work Performed for Multiple Clients:

1. Surveying Firm

Here is an example of the types of resumes we created for a surveying firm with about 50 personnel. For each staff member, we created the following files in Microsoft Word that could easily be used for proposals, Web sites, Statements of Qualification, and other documents:

• 255 Government Proposal Form Resumes
• Standard one-page resume for proposals
• Long resume (two to seven pages) for proposals
• Short one-paragraph description
• Short bullet list resume (1/4 to 1/2 page)

This project involved obtaining resumes from the personnel who had created them, updating each of the previously prepared resumes by interviewing and/or e-mailing the personnel, interviewing personnel who had never created resumes before and creating their resumes from scratch, creating templates and instructions for all five resume formats for future employees to fill in, and creating CDs of all completed files and uploading them to the company's server.

2. Environmental & Engineering Firm

An environmental firm with over 100 employees hired us to edit and update all their resumes, which were each at least 3 pages in length. Standard editing work included fixing spelling, grammatical, and punctuation errors; defining all acronyms and abbreviations when first used in each resume; ensuring consistency in format, organization, and presentation; creating consistent headings; and ensuring readability.

3. Alaska Environmental Firm

For an Alaska environmental firm, we edited and formatted hundreds of resumes in different formats for different proposals. Each individual's resume could be up to 20 pages in length originally; we edited these down to focus on relevant project experience for each proposal and per each person's role in that proposal. The client provided us with access to the server to obtain the resumes; we then made our changes on each resume based on the organizational chart for a particular proposal that listed each person's role.
