Frequently Asked Questions
Executive resume writer services can range from $300-3,000, depending on their process, how many years of experience your resume writer has, how many hours are required for writing a resume, and your work history.
These days a resume is only needed to apply on-line and that systems is broken. A resume is not what get you noticed. That’s what your LinkedIn Profile is for.
A resume writer is just a one-time hit. A more effective tactic for your job search is working with a Career Coach to:
- Enhance your LinkedIn Profile so you stand out to recruiters and potential managers
- Learn time saving job search strategies that get results
- Teach you how to prep for interviews
- Learn how to turn interviews into job offers
- Practice mock interviews
- Get visibility into the corporate hiring processes and how you’re being evaluated
- Learn offer negotiation strategies
- Help you with career planning
and more.
My clients win more interviews, get higher base salaries and have a greater number of the ideal job they seek.
Working with a Career Coach pays for its self as there is a very high ROI.
On average I see base salaries, sign on bonuses, annual bonuses and other benefits increase by 20% or more

Each program typically consists of a series of one-on-one sessions that usually last 30 to 60 minutes each. At fairwindslogix, we don’t limit the amount of time per day, week, or month. Our time is dependent on your needs and we adjust as needed. During a job search how much time and how frequently you need to work with your coach changes during the initial assessment, job search, interview preparation, offer negotiation, etc.
There are several ways you can make the most out of working with a Career Coach:
- Identify your goals and areas to focus on with your coach

Very good! On average I see base salaries, sign on bonuses, annual bonuses and other benefits increase by 20% or more
The goal of each working session is to make your LinkedIn profile stand out in a crowd. That’s how you get noticed, not by a resume. Those days are over. Most folks believe they will get a job new from having a great resume; hence, they seek out a resume writer. Sadly, resume writers are not equipped to know enough about your industry and how to showcase your achievements and outcomes. Even more importantly, they lack the know-how to get you noticed by hiring managers. That’s where a good career coach and recruiter come into play.
Absolutely! The purpose of a consultation is so we can determine together if coaching can provide value to you. It is important to have a trusting relationship and good chemistry for success.
- Come with an open mind to position yourself for success
- Set appropriate expectations
- Open up and be honest with yourself
- Focus on your goals
- Make it a true partnership
- Set the right atmosphere
Prices increase with higher-level professional resume requests. The downside of outsourcing your resume to a writer is that you don’t go through the process of articulating your value-add with a professional that can provide guidance on how to showcase your achievements and outcomes. Working through the process with a Career Coach yields the best results.
