• Competitive Edge Resume Package $ 550

This package will turbo-charge your resume and give you the best possible advantage over your competition. This service suite is perfect for established professionals who are in the midpoint of their careers and are looking to gain that crucial edge over their competition. 

As listed on the website called Career Sidekick, the average price of a resume across the United States as of 2022 is $527, so this package is lean, mean, and competitively priced. Yes, there are plenty of service that will charge less, but you get what you pay for, and no other resume service has the same level of maritime resume writing experience.

Those who pay for this service get an ATS search and formatting software check on top of just having a new resume written. In case you were wondering, the term “ATS” stands for Applicant Tracking System. These days, most human resources departments sort incoming resumes that are submitted by job applicants with computer programs called Applicant Tracking Systems. 

The ATS software applications that are so commonly used at this time are typically designed to discard any resume that is not determined to be a good enough match for a given job listing. The exact factors that an applicant tracking system is seeking to isolate for incoming resumes varies because hiring managers enter different criteria for different job listings; however, the keywords listed in a posting for an available job provide a good reference point for how an ATS system’s filtering criteria is likely to be configured for a given job posting.

When a person chooses this package, their resume is written, then it is checked against a software program that scans for repetitive and tired phrases along with weak verbs and grammar errors. 

– Up to 3 revision cycles within a 1-month period of time. 

– Unlimited telephone and email support for up to 1 month. 

• Executive Resume Package $ 850

This package involves the same steps as the Competitive Edge service; except, this service involves writing a resume for a position of management such as a captain, a mate, or a licensed engineer. This resume service is also a must for anyone who is looking for a position as a vice president, other C-level executive position, or another high-level professional job within the maritime industry that requires a resume with another level of attention to details and another level of care applied on the part of a resume writer.

Like the Competitive Edge Package:

1. Elevate your resume to the top of the pile with ATS-optimization.  Applicant Tracking software systems are the software services that scan incoming resumes. 

2. Emphasize your most marketable skills. 

3. Avoid unnecessary information. 

4. Leverage visual techniques that make your resume truly readable. 

5. Eliminate spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. 

6. Ensure consistent style.  

7. Raise your resume above the others with high-impact writing. 

8. Deliver as many measurable factors or “Metrics” as possible to quantify what you have achieved. 

9. Showcase your achievements and highlight your projects. 

10. Craft a hard-charging cover letter that will position you as the top candidate.

Unlike the Competitive Edge Resume service, this package includes taking a “SEO Deep Dive.” A SEO Deep Dive involves having your completed resume checked against around 6 job postings that you have furnished. In this phase, your resume will have already been polished by the writing checker software, then compared to actual job listings so that a compatibility percentage can determined for each position of interest. The sweet spot for a finished resume is having a job compatibility percentage of 79% to 92% for each posting of interest. If a resume matches too closely to a job description, then this state of affairs tends to make a hiring manager suspicious because it is totally possible for a resume writer to tweak a resume to match a job description at 100%, so a matching percentage in the low 90% is actually best. 

This service includes:

– Unlimited revision cycles within a 2-month time frame. We will work until you are satisfied with the final results. 

– Unlimited telephone and email support for up to 2 months. 

– Formal Applicant Tracking System compatibility reports will be issued that document the matching percentages for each position of interest.
