Thank you for inquiring about John Lyman Company resume services!

I know you want the details, so I'll get to the details right away. My resume and cover letter services are not nearly as expensive as what many other people charge. Why? Simple. It's because I've been in the position of having to look for a job or position with an organization before, and I know from experience that most of the time when we find ourselves in that position, we don't have a lot of money to spend. Quite often we are faced with looking for a job when we don't have one. I know what it feels like to see people wanting to charge a lot of money for a resume and at the same time having pretty empty pockets! I prefer to make my money by developing relationships and getting good referals from people, as opposed to making a ton of money from one resume job.
The prices I charge for resumes and/or cover letters vary depending on the job, but the range is from $20 to $40. I can't give much more of an estimate as to what YOUR cost would be, because I don't know exactly what you need. But I can give you some general ideas: If you have your resume already written out on a piece of paper or two and all you need is for it to be nicely typed and printed, that would be a $20 job. If you don't have all the details written out word-for-word the way you want it; are relying on my creativity and 20-plus years of business experience to put the resume together, that would be more than $20, but no project will cost you more than $40 for is a resume and/or cover letter.

There could be times when you need something really fancy and several pages long for a unique job application. Yes, that would cost more than $40. But instances where anyone would need that are very rare, even for corporate executive positions, so let's assume for now that's not what you need. In exchange for a low cost project, I do have to ask a favor of you. I do have an online form that I require everyone who uses my services to fill out. Why? Simply because I do have some conditions that have to be met before I can start a project and I want everyone to also understand exactly how the service works and how I invoice customers after the work is done, etc. I promise, it's nothing scary and not intended to intimidate anyone. I just believe in good customer relationships and I want you to understand how everything works if indeed you choose to use my services.

Rest assured, I don't ask for money up front. I don't steal people's personal information. I work with you as much as I can within reason to get your job right. If the first draft is not right, I will provide up to three drafts, or "re-works" of your resume and/or cover letter because I want to know you are pleased with the service.

What do you get for your money? Here's the list:
  • Two printed copies of your order (resume and/or letter) mailed to you if you wish.
  • One copy of your order emailed to you.
  • One copy of your order available for download from my website at www.johnlyman.net for one year from the time you pay for it.
If you're nervous about working with me, you're welcome to call me first and we can get to know each other (you will still have to fill out the online form prior to me doing any work). You can reach me by phone from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday, in the U.S. Pacific Time Zone. You can also email me at john@johnlyman.net and if you leave your phone number and mention you are interested in having a resume and/or cover letter done, I'll call you!
