Which package do I need?
Rank Check refreshes a resume you already have. The Next Rank is for a promotion. Carry Your Rank is for changing fields. Up From the Ranks is for when there’s no resume yet. Still not sure? Choose Undecided and I’ll walk you through it, or start with a Review.
How do you decide my level?
By the job you’re applying for, not your past titles. Entry is entry-level and frontline jobs. Mid is skilled trade, lead, supervisor, and professional jobs. Senior is managers and long-career roles below director. Executive is director and up. I confirm your level on your quote.
Do I need a job posting?
No. A posting link helps, but a specific description works too. “Kitchen manager at a hotel restaurant, about 20 staff” tells me what to aim for. “Manager” doesn’t.
What do you need from me?
For every job you’ve held: the company, your exact job title, and the location. I write from what you give me. I don’t guess or make up information.
Do you find jobs for me?
No. I’m not a recruiter or a headhunter. You find the jobs you want to go after. I guide you through it and translate your past into the language of where you’re going, so you’re ready when you apply.
Who do you work with?
Adults 18 and up, at any stage, from a first job to the executive level. Hourly or salaried doesn’t matter; the job you’re going for does.
How much does it cost?
Packages start at $20. Your price depends on the package and the level of the job you’re going for. These are my Early Enlistment Rate prices while Next Rank Careers gets started. See Services for every price.
What does the Full Review cost?
It’s free for the first 25 clients at launch, then $25. Every dollar of your review comes off any package you choose within 3 months. The Quick Look is free, one per person.
How do I pay?
A 50% deposit starts the work and the balance is due when your files are done. I take electronic payment (Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and all major cards), plus Zelle. Other options, we can talk about. If finances are a concern, talk with me before you order.
What files do I get?
A polished PDF of your resume and cover letter. Some online applications only accept Word files. If you run into one, a Word version is $25 to $49, depending on your level.
Are there other discounts?
Military and first responders get 20% off every service. Repeat clients get 15% off a future package once their last order is closed (not on Retargets). Refer a friend and they get $10 off their first package, and you get a $20 credit once they pay. The service discount can be combined with other offers; other offers don’t combine with each other. If you receive SNAP, Medicaid, WIC, unemployment, or similar benefits, ask me about the community rate. Aging out of foster care? Your resume is free through age 19.
Can I get printed copies?
Yes. Pick them up in Jackson for free, or have them mailed with tracking. See printing and delivery for prices and an estimate.
Do we have to get on a call?
No. Everything runs by email and a private online questionnaire, so you can answer on your own schedule.
How fast is it?
Your turnaround is in your quote, based on your package and how much we’re building. Some drafts are ready in one business day; bigger projects take longer. The clock starts once your questionnaire and any follow-up answers are in. Rush delivery is 48 hours for 50% more.
How do revisions work?
Rank Check includes one round of revisions, and the other packages include two. Every revision request comes with a short revision questionnaire so I know exactly what to change. The business-day clock stops until it comes back, then starts again.
What if you’re late?
If your first draft is late, you get 10% off for each business day it’s late. At 5 business days late, you get a full refund and still receive your finished package. The clock starts when your deposit and complete intake are in and pauses while I’m waiting on you.
What about interview help?
Interview Practice and Interview Ready are written prep documents, up to 4 pages, built for the job you’re applying for. More interview prep options are coming soon.
Will you make up experience to get me hired?
No. Translation, not exaggeration. I reframe what you’ve actually done in the language of the job you want. I don’t invent credentials, titles, or numbers.
Can you guarantee I’ll get the job?
No honest resume writer can. Hiring depends on a lot of things outside the page. What I can promise is a resume that represents your real experience at the highest standard of the craft.
Who gets the service discount?
Military: active duty, Guard, Reserve, veterans, and retirees. First responders: fire, law enforcement, EMS, 911 dispatch, corrections, ER techs, and emergency, trauma, ICU, and flight nurses. It’s 20% off every service, rounded down to the dollar.
I just got back from deployment.
Welcome home, and thank you. If you’ve been back less than a year, your resume package is on me, whichever one you need. Just send me a quick note before you order so we can get you set up. Any extras, like interview prep or LinkedIn, we’ll talk through together based on what you need.
Will my resume be shared?
Not on the Next Rank Careers website, social media, or marketing without your written permission, and then only fully redacted: names, contact details, employers, schools, locations, dates, and license or ID numbers removed.
Is my payment information safe?
I don’t see or store card or bank numbers. Payments go through the card processor or payment app directly.
Still have a question?
Send it over. I reply within one business day.
