Job Hunting Services
A chronological resume alone often isn't enough to get an interview. Our job hunting services are handled by writers and career coaches who know how resumes get screened and read. Like our academic writing division, our career team works from research and direct feedback, not templates. We work with candidates at every stage, from recent graduates applying for a first role to managers and executives moving into a new company or industry.
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)
Most large companies use Applicant Tracking Systems to screen resumes before a person sees them. Our writers review your target job descriptions and build your resume around the keywords and formatting those systems look for, so it turns your past duties into specific, measurable achievements. This uses the same close attention to language as our eCommerce copywriting work.
ATS software often fails to read tables, text boxes, headers, and footers correctly, so we build resumes with a single-column layout and standard section headings the software can parse. We deliver a Word file, which most systems accept for upload, and a PDF version formatted for a human reader once you reach the interview stage.
Resume Formats We Use
Not every candidate needs the same layout. A chronological format lists your work history in reverse order and works well if your career has moved in a straight line within one field. A functional format is organized around skills instead of dates and fits candidates changing careers or returning to work after a gap. A combination format blends the two and is common for mid-career professionals with a mix of relevant and unrelated experience. Your writer recommends a format based on your work history and the roles you're applying for.
Industries and Career Levels
Our writers cover roles across healthcare, technology, finance, education, engineering, retail, and nonprofit work, at entry-level, mid-career, and executive levels. An entry-level resume usually leans on coursework, internships, and transferable skills. An executive resume focuses on leadership scope, budget size, and measurable business outcomes instead of day-to-day tasks.
Interview Coaching and Salary Negotiation
Getting the interview is only part of the process. Our career coaching packages include mock interviews using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) method, plus salary negotiation guidance so you don't have to accept the first offer without question. This is useful for recent graduates moving from our dissertation services into their first job.
Sessions also cover how to answer questions about employment gaps, career changes, or reasons for leaving a previous position, since those questions come up in most interviews regardless of industry.
Cover Letters and Application Packages
A cover letter is written to match your resume, not repeat it. Ours are tailored to a specific job posting instead of reused across applications, and they explain career changes, employment gaps, or relocation when relevant. A full application package pairs a resume, a cover letter, and a LinkedIn profile so every document a hiring manager or recruiter sees tells the same, consistent story.
Editing an Existing Resume
Not everyone needs a resume built from scratch. If you already have a document that mostly works, you can order an edit instead of a full rewrite. Your writer reworks weak bullet points into measurable achievements, corrects formatting inconsistencies, and checks that dates, job titles, and section order follow a logical structure before the file goes back to you.
Networking and Recruiter Visibility
Many recruiters search for candidates directly on professional networks instead of waiting for applications. That's why we recommend pairing this service with LinkedIn profile optimization, which raises your visibility in recruiter searches. A resume and a LinkedIn profile that use different job titles or timelines can raise questions during screening, so we recommend updating both together.
