Anyone know any good resume writing services???

Specializes in ICU.

Hello, everyone! I am in the process of updating my resume..just dont know where to start. My current resume is my new grad resume, since I am still a new grad. I have 6 months med/surg experience and looking for an icu job..My last resume I had a friend that kinda put it together for me, but this time i need a professional to do it, because I need a cover letter and all that good stuff.. Just the thought of doing it myself stresses me out, and I am horrible at writing, so if I wanna get the dream job then Id rather let the proffessional do it. I have done some google reaserches and have found many online resume writing services, just dont know which ones are any good and which ones are a scam, also I have found local writers that charge between 200-300. Is that a normal price? Any advice on resume writing services and price range, or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, in advance!

Have you checked out this thread? Wondering why you can't get hired or promoted: Resume + Interview hints! - Nursing for Nurses

1-Day Resume is an awesome service. The owner has done over 12,000 resumes and many of them for nurses. The web address is 1dayresume.com and their phone number is 865-691-3796. They are located in Knoxville, TN. Everything can be done over the phone and through email. I don't live anywhere near Knoxville but was able to get my resume done without difficulty and it looked beautiful. Although not cheap, worth every penny. Hope this is helpful!

I use Pongo. Just google that. I have been very happy with their website and services. Costs about 50$. You can even reach someone there on the phone as they list a customer service number. I also checked out some books from the library on writing resumes.

I know you graduated already but I think you can still use the services from your alma mater. Do they have a writing help center? My college has one and one of their services is helping you write a resume with a cover letter. The people who edit and help are Journalism majors, or have the person running the center check it (it is often an English professor). The best part? It's free.

I bought a software program called Resume Maker Professional, for like $10, and I used it to get my last two jobs. It's a really good program and gives you tons of suggestions for things to add in to your resume, and how to word it. It also gives you ideas to write your cover letter.
