Hiring a Career Coach can significantly expedite and strengthen your job search. Career coaches can provide focus and clarity, especially if you feel lost or overwhelmed. They can help you identify your strengths, clarify your goals, and achieve the confidence you need to progress and thrive. Career Coaches are experts in the job search process. They can teach you how to effectively market yourself, navigate interviews, and negotiate salary and benefits. With their guidance, you can gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in your job search and beyond.

While you can conduct research and seek advice from friends and family, a career coach brings a professional perspective and a wealth of experience. A career coach can provide immediate and invaluable feedback on your job search strategy and help you set goals that align with your strengths and interests. They can also offer expert guidance on improving your résumé, cover letter, and interview skills. A career coach can be a sounding board and provide objective advice, helping you navigate roadblocks along the way. Often, candidates are unsure about what specific career paths they want to pursue, or they may not be familiar with industry norms and trends. A career coach can provide focus and clarity, offering tailored insights on marketing yourself more effectively to potential employers. With the support of a career coach, you can expedite and strengthen your job search, enabling you to find more fulfilling work and achieve your goals.

Some coaches only offer services to certain education levels, careers, and industries. Not at Writer's Block. We will work with you to identify your strengths and areas for improvement and develop a personalized plan to help you overcome obstacles and succeed in your job search. Whether you are a cashier or a CEO, we tailor our services to meet each individual's unique needs and goals and provide personalized support and guidance. With Writer's Block, the only thing you need to bring to the table is a passion for leveling up and a willingness to learn!

Our clients report outstanding results, with some experiencing fast turnarounds, including next-day interviews. While we have an excellent track record of results, Writer's Block Resumes does not guarantee interviews or job offers from any of our services, and we are not liable for outcomes. It is solely the client's responsibility to secure employment. It could feel frustrating to not see immediate results, but know that many factors may impact your job search, including the current economy, job market, ineffectively implementing feedback, and industry trends. We encourage our clients to be patient and stay motivated, and we are always here to provide extra support when needed.

Writer's Block Resumes offers a unique and personalized approach to career consulting that focuses on working with clients to develop a custom plan that addresses their specific challenges and helps them achieve their full potential. We believe in human interaction, meaning we do not rely on forms to fill out to start working with you. We recognize that each person's career journey is unique, and we take the time to understand your individual goals, experiences, and skill sets.

Writer's Block is led by an experienced recruitment leader with expertise in candidate sourcing and selection in non-profit, start-up, and private organizations. With a Bachelor's Degree in English, a Master's Degree in Human Resource Management, and having climbed the ranks in the Talent Acquisition space to serve as a Head of Talent Acquisition, my experience allows me to provide clients with invaluable insights and advice that most coaches cannot offer who do not occupy this space. I've vetted thousands of resumes in my career as a Recruiter, and my expertise allows me to provide clients with targeted advice and strategies tailored to their career goals and aspirations.

When selecting a Career Coach, it's essential to consider their qualifications, experience, specialties, and overall approach to the coaching process. Whether you choose to work with Writer's Block or not, here are some factors you should consider: Track record of results: A reputable Career Coach should have a proven track record of helping clients achieve their goals and make progress in their careers. Experience in Human Resources or a related field: Ideally, your Career Coach will have experience working in HR or a related field. This enables them to provide relevant insights and practical advice grounded in real-world experience. Communication style: Your Career Coach should be an excellent communicator who actively listens and provides honest and constructive feedback. Stand-out qualities: A great Career Coach will possess unique skills and qualities that set them apart from others. At Writer's Block, we are adept at identifying your strengths and weaknesses and offer culturally competent resources to best serve our communtiy. Client reviews: It's always a good idea to check out reviews from other clients who have worked with the Career Coach you are considering. Inclusivity: We believe that career coaching should be accessible to all individuals, regardless of background or experience level. Writer's Block is committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. Value for cost: When choosing a Career Coach, finding someone who provides value for the cost of their services is essential. We offer a range of high-impact options at varying price points to ensure that clients get the support they need to achieve their goals.

At Writer's Block, we pride ourselves on offering personalized and tailored services to meet your unique needs and career goals. Our pricing reflects the expertise, time, and effort required to ensure our clients receive the highest quality support. While it is true that some of our services may seem expensive at first glance, it's important to consider the long-term impact of investing in your career growth. By working with a Career Coach, you're making a commitment to yourself and your future, which can result in increased earning potential, job satisfaction, and overall fulfillment in your professional life.

Unfortunately, we do not provide samples of our completed resumes due to the sensitive and confidential nature of our client's personal information. Each resume we create is uniquely tailored to the individual's skills, experience, and job goals, and we take great care to maintain their privacy. Each client's resume and job search strategy is unique, and providing sample documents could lead to plagiarism or replication of a document that is not applicable to your personal career goals. We are confident in our ability to create a standout resume that effectively showcases your strengths and accomplishments, and we offer a satisfaction guarantee to ensure that you are happy with the final product. Additionally, we prioritize communication throughout the resume writing process, so we encourage you to ask any questions or express any concerns to ensure we deliver a resume that meets your expectations. We can provide a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your goals & objectives and how we can help you achieve them.

Deciding which service is right for you can depend on several factors, including your budget and the amount of support you desire. Our Resume Review service is an affordable option for those needing a quick makeover of their current resume; however, if you're looking for a more in-depth resume overhaul with multiple rounds of revisions, our Ghostwriter Package could be the best option for you, though significantly more costly. If you are a strong writer but are unsure of what to include in your resume, a service that provides a Resume Strategy Session would be an excellent fit for you. A package with a Resume Review or a done-for-you service like the Ghostwriter Package might be a good fit for those needing more comprehensive support. Ultimately, we encourage you to review our services and schedule a free 15-minute consultation call for personalized guidance on which service would be the most appropriate to help you achieve your goals.

Writer's Block offers three types of services to cater to our client's unique needs and goals. Our done-for-you service involves our team taking on the entirety of your writing project, from planning to execution. This service is perfect for those who want to leave the resume process to a professional. Our done-with-you service is a collaborative effort where we work alongside our clients to develop the content and refine your work. You'll still have our guidance and expertise but with more input and involvement from you. Lastly, our do-it-yourself/support service is for those who want to take on the content creation themselves but still want professional guidance and support. We provide resources, tools, and coaching to help you improve your writing skills and effectively develop content that represents your experience. The difference between these services lies in the level of involvement and input from Writer's Block versus the level of responsibility and work allotted to the client. Regardless of the service you choose, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your career goals and reach your fullest potential.

Done-for-you resumes & cover letters typically require a 14-day turnaround. In some cases, Writer's Block may be able to turn it out faster or may need more time in others. Many factors may delay your order, including your timeliness in responding to communication and edits requested. Overall, Writer's Block prioritizes quality over speed, ensuring that each document is crafted with attention to detail and tailored to the client's needs. We'll communicate in advance if more time is needed.

During a career consultation session, clients can discuss a range of topics related to their career and professional aspirations. These may include dissatisfaction with their current job or lack of fulfillment in their career, an interest in exploring new career opportunities or changing careers altogether, feeling indecisive about what's next in their career journey, experiencing fear of rejection or failure, and struggling with imposter syndrome. Whether you're unsure of yourself or feeling confused about your career direction, Writer's Block can provide guidance and support to help you overcome any challenges and achieve your professional goals.

We understand the importance of feeling confident in your job application documents. Our process starts with a vision setting, where we work together to clarify your intended outcomes and ensure an accurate representation of your experience. Throughout the drafting process, we provide opportunities for feedback to ensure that your documents meet your expectations. If, after receiving the initial draft, you do not feel satisfied with the results, we encourage you to provide specific feedback so we can make the necessary changes. However, it is essential to note that extensive requested changes may require an extension of the delivery date. We believe in honesty and transparency and will let you know if we feel the feedback is not on par. Our ultimate goal is to create documents that reflect your unique skills and experience and position you for success in your career.

Clients can choose from Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, or Google Docs for their final documents. It's worth noting that document formatting can appear differently on different computers due to variations in software or screen resolution. Once your order is complete, we'll also render the finished product into a PDF file for reference to provide you with a format that is universally accessible and easy to share.

Yes! If you have used our services before and wish to update your resume, you can book our Return Client service. However, remember that you will always have edit access to the final copies of your resume, so you can make changes yourself at any time. We understand that a well-crafted resume is essential to career success, and we are here to support you every step of the way. With the Return Client service, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your resume is up-to-date and professionally written.

To ensure we can deliver the highest quality service and streamline our operations, please note that payment is required in full at the time of booking or order completion. This policy helps us secure your service slot, allocate the necessary resources, and confirm your commitment. It allows us to manage our schedule effectively and provide a seamless experience.

Our OG Writer's Block clients have been with us since we started writing resumes for just pennies. Our clients are important to us, and as we continually improve our offerings and practices, we are mindful to ensure that those who have been with us since our early days can still access our services. Therefore, we have tempered price increases to provide them with the best possible service while also operating sustainably as a business.

Yes! We offer Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) options through our partners at Sizzle, Affirm, and PayPal, which are subject to approval. Unfortunately, if you are not approved to use one of our partners, there is no alternative option to finance your purchase or pay on a payment plan.

We're excited to offer you the convenience of spreading your payments with Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services through Sezzle, Affirm, and PayPal! To use a Buy Now, Pay Later service, follow the booking instructions as they appear on the page. While services like Apple Pay & Google Pay are quick, they likely will not allow you to use our BNPL partners, so you'll have to follow the manual payment options to access them. Please note that you'll need to provide some basic information, such as your name, email address, and payment details, and our BNPL partners will perform a quick and easy approval process to determine if you're eligible to use the service. Your eligibility is at the sole discretion of our partners, and Writer's Block cannot override decisions. Payments will be rendered to a partner once a BNPL option is selected.

We recognize the inequities and barriers that many Black and Latinx job seekers face in their job search and career advancement, and we believe that everyone deserves equal access to career opportunities and resources. Writer's Block is committed to creating a more equitable job market and specifically targets Black and Latinx job seekers because they are often disproportionately impacted by systemic barriers to entry and advancement in the workforce. For example, Black and Latinx jobseekers are often less likely to have access to professional networks and mentorship programs, which can be helpful resources in finding job opportunities. Additionally, Black and Latinx jobseekers face implicit bias and discrimination in the hiring process, making it harder for them to find quality employment. We leverage our own multi-storied identity and expertise to provide culturally competent and relevant advice to our clients through our tailored career coaching services and provide guidance and support to individuals who have historically faced obstacles in accessing opportunities and achieving their career goals. Everyone deserves the chance to succeed in their career, and our focus on Black and Latinx jobseekers is one way we can help build a more just and inclusive society!

Absolutely! We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to achieve their professional aspirations, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or other personal characteristics. We're committed to creating an inclusive, equitable, and supportive environment for all our clients. While we focus on empowering Black and Latinx professionals, we are committed to supporting all individuals seeking to advance their careers. Our services help job seekers of all backgrounds enhance their resumes, develop networking skills, and prepare for interviews.

We collect demographic data to better understand the unique needs and experiences of our clients. This information helps us tailor our services to meet the specific requirements of individuals from different backgrounds and industries. Analyzing demographic data allows us to identify patterns and trends that inform our approach to crafting resumes and cover letters. Our goal is to provide customized support that empowers clients to achieve their career goals, regardless of their background or experience. Additionally, we use demographic data to track our progress and assess the effectiveness of our services, helping us continuously improve our offerings and better serve our clients. All demographic data is confidential and only used internally to improve our services and better serve our clients. It is essential to our commitment to providing inclusive and effective career consulting business.

Writer's Block Resumes LLC says no to other clients and opportunities when you book us for any service. While we understand that things come up, please do your best to honor your appointment. Cancellations made before the start of service will result in a refund minus a 20% cancellation fee on the total price of the service. Cancellations will not be accepted once a service has commenced, which means you will forfeit your entire payment since we have already started prepping for and working on your order. As a one-time courtesy, we're happy to reschedule your service without penalty up to 1 hour before the start of your appointment. Rescheduling after the grace period will incur a $10 reschedule fee, which must be paid prior to securing a new appointment time. Clients may reschedule up to 3 times ($10 fee applies each time), before we drop you as a client. After the third reschedule, your appointment will be considered cancelled, and you will receive a refund, minus 20% of the cost of service. After three reschedules, any future requests to work with Writer's Block LLC will be denied. We offer a 15-minute grace period from the beginning of your appointment if you're running late. We cannot accommodate any further due to the extensive nature of the call, and we must honor our appointments with other clients. If you miss your 15-minute grace period, you will be given the option to either cancel (refund, minus 20%) or reschedule for a $10 fee (standard rescheduling policies apply). Failure to connect with us will be considered a "no-call, no-show," which will automatically incur the 20% cancellation fee— future requests to work with Writer's Block Resumes LLC will be denied. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please get in touch with us through the email address or phone number provided on your booking confirmation.

I purchased the wrong instant download. What do I do now? Our goal at Writer's Block is to provide customers with the tools and resources they need to succeed in their careers, and we strive to make every purchase as convenient and beneficial as possible. Unfortunately, due to the nature of instant downloads, Writer's Block cannot offer a refund or replace the download you initially wanted. However, as a courtesy, we can upgrade your download to the Hire Ready Bundle if you pay the price difference— this way, you can access the download you want without paying the individual price.

While we welcome inquiries from international clients, we must note that our services are tailored to resume standards, expectations, and spellings that align with the U.S. job market. As such, we do not accommodate international variations in resume formats, and you are responsible for ensuring that our services are suitable for you and align with your region's practices. Alternatively, if you are an expat or seeking employment in the U.S., we are happy to provide our resume services to help you stand out in the job market. Please also be advised that Writer's Block operates on Eastern Standard Time, as we are based in New York. Please note that we will not accommodate different time zones that do not fall within our regular hours of operation. Additionally, since most services are conducted by phone, it is essential to have a direct line for us to connect.
