How do I determine the fee for your job application project?

Fees for your resume / cover letter / marketing text / social media content projects are determined once we've clarified your precise needs, scope of activity required and timeframe.

 

​​The CareerLove Price Philosophy

​

My philosophy is that each project, each client, each career path is truly different and will definitely require different amounts of time and preparation depending on the industry or specific audience / company / potential customers you have in mind. Factors such as research, clarification, requests for supplementary information by email, tackling different lengths, complexity of content etc. come into play when we determine the cost of your investment. 

​

There are so many different scenarios in resume situations, for instance. Indeed, we know that within general job groupings (executives, senior managers, business specialists, technical specialists, medical specialists, legal specialists, academics, entrepreneurs etc.) there can be huge differences.

​

Some people may require more than one version. Other people have overly-long resumes with 20 years’ worth of content that needs to be edited and updated. Some people have half a page, or very basic content. Some resumes need a lot of formatting and layout improvement, while some have a great layout, but have weak or missing content. Your project may take 1 hour or it may take 4 hours. So it doesn't make sense to me to offer packages or set prices solutions (a complete resume for $100? or automatically charging all executives $1500?)

​

This would mean that I fit you inside a price box or time-limit box. When your job application project is categorized this way, the risk is that you'll receive a result that's rushed, or not really customized. The overall quality (and your overall image and chance to make a great first impression) may suffer. Or you’re being overcharged for something that may only take an hour or two to fix.

​

So if my customized pricing approach makes sense to you, please contact me and I'll be happy to listen to exactly what you need and inform you of your cost of investment. I'll email you the itemized fees for each part of the project, so you know the total price ahead of time. No surprises. 100% transparency and clear communication.

​

(*modern, yet appropriate to your targeted industry and audience, ranging from conservative to alternative and everything in between*)
