Pricing & Return on Investment
Are professional resume writing and career services worth the cost?
Resume Writing & Coaching
At Employment BOOST, our emphasis and beliefs center around how you cannot be a good resume writer without understanding how hiring happens within a company. Likewise, you cannot be a great interviewer or career coach without knowing that as well. Our prices reflect the delivery of our services along with utilizing resources from the group of companies in our portfolio including executive search, recruiting, human capital consulting, and outplacement services.
For resume services, our prices are somewhere in the middle of the market with some of our premium services being priced slightly higher. To keep prices affordable, we limit the amount of onsite visits and have a great email and phone process that achieves the same results. For certain situations we do offer onsite meetings at select locations.
Investing In Yourself
In our industry, most firms often get asked why resume and coaching services cost so much. When you break it down, it often costs $125 to drop your car off for a diagnosis or it can cost as much as $150 for a plumber to show up at your home. When you look at the resume service and career coaching industry, we are often compiled of degreed professionals, often with graduate degrees, certifications, or other business training. When you break that down, the value you get for having a professional resume writer develop your resume plus consulting with other employment services professionals and executives, our cost is actually pretty reasonable.
If you look at the Life Time Value of great careers services, it makes a tremendous difference on your career trajectory. Let’s look below for a quick outline.
