From time to time Dr. Jerry or Dr. Swisher will review a résumé for someone that is, on balance, well done and Dr. Jerry, Dr. Swisher, and the client agree that the résumé/CV would need only a “once-over,” not a fully revised résumé, just some polish to make it look better. In these cases only a minimum fee should be charged by the professional. So, where a résumé reviewed by Dr. Jerry or Dr. Swisher needs, in their opinion, only a ‘tweak’ or ‘polish’ to improve its marketing potential and if the client believes that the content of his/her current resume is adequate, then Dr. Jerry or Dr. Swisher will use that content (adding and removing words as necessary), change the style, and add the “wow” factor for an exceptionally low cost.
The cost for any client is $100 (assumes contact is possible via telephone in the US or via Skype, worldwide). Click here to start the process.

A very detailed interview by Dr. Jerry or Dr. Swisher, including some interview coaching; Polished Résumé (in MS-Word, ASCII, and PDF formats); and a new Cover Letter.
All services include the resume and a FREE cover letter written in Microsoft Word format [Word 1997-2004 and only in 2007 if requested]. The resume document in MS-Word can easily be edited and changed at will) and versions of the resume in ASCII (for job board and website posting) and PDF (for using when requested or when you do not trust the employer) are included without additional fee. Don’t pay someone extra for these formats or pay extra for a cover letter – unless you have money to burn.
The firm strongly believes that no résumé should ever cost more than $300. After all, times are tough and it would be foolish to pay nearly triple or more on such websites as TheLadders for what you can get on this website for $299 or less.
