If you are looking for a fast, budget service, a resume mill may be an option for you. However, the likelihood is you're probably best saving your money and writing it yourself using the free advice contained in our blog. These operators typically outsource to non-native English speaking countries where labour is cheap and quality is poor. They don't include consultation calls, and limit revisions, producing templated, rushed resumes, often littered with mistakes and not an accurate reflection of their clients skills, experience and achievements.

With competition for jobs at an all time high, a bespoke, professionally written, ATS optimized resume is the only way to guarantee more interviews. This is the level of service you can expect when engaging Resume People®.

Our resume writers are based throughout Canada, some work within our offices, and some work remotely from home. Because we assign your project to the most experienced resume writer for your career history, they may not be based in your local office. However, our resume consultations are completed on the phone, via Zoom or through our online chat to speed up the process and reduce costs.

We've cherry-picked the industry's top talent since 2011, recruiting an elite team of senior HR managers, veteran specialist recruiters and Canada's leading career coaches with over 400 years of combined industry experience. Our in-house recruitment and training program ensures our entire team possess an unmatched expertise in over 65 industries and are more than qualified to craft you a world-class resume, regardless of your industry and profession.

The first stage of our process is to conduct a strategy consultation call with you. This can be a phone call or via Zoom (whichever you prefer) and typically lasts around an hour. Throughout the entire process you can communicate via phone, Zoom or online chat within your account. All of our resume writers are Canadian based and work Monday - Friday.

Yes! Unlike budget services we don't limit your revisions. We strive to create the perfect resume for every client, and we don't stop working until that's exactly what you have.

Your resume writer will deliver requested revisions by 5pm, the following business day, providing they have had the opportunity to clarify any extra information they require with you.

We have written over 60,000 resumes for a vastly varied clientele ranging from students to CEOs. We always match our clients with the writer who has the most experience in their field. Our services suit everyone looking for a professionally written resume.

If you require multiple designs of your resume, this will incur our resume redesign fee of CA$60 for each version which can be purchased here. If you wish to change the written content of your new resume for different applications you will be required to purchase our resume retarget service which can be purchased here.

There is no time limit and we will keep working on your documents until you are 100% happy. However, to maintain and manage our writer's workload, we do ask you to close your project out once you are satisfied with your documents. If we do not hear from you within 14 days after submitting your new documents our platform will automatically close your project due to inactivity.

We partner with accomplished professionals ranging from senior managers and directors to C-suite executives and board-level candidates. Our typical clients include those preparing to transition from senior management to director roles, dept. head and directors stepping up to the executive suite, and C-suite leaders pursuing board appointments. Whether passively exploring new opportunities or actively planning their next strategic move, our clients are united by a forward-thinking, growth-oriented mindset.
