If you’re considering Professional Resume Writing, there are a few things you should know.

1. There are 2 associations that certify resume writers:

A. The NCRW (Nationally Certified Resume Writer).
B. The CPRW (Certified Professional Resume Writer)

A Writer gets these certifications from either the National Resume Writer’s Association or the Professional Association of
Resume Writers and Career Coaches.

To qualify, one is required to study concepts and strategies of proper resume and cover letter preparation, attend continuing education courses and submit a sample resume and cover letter for review by members of the association.
They also have to pass an exam that they are required to take, that is broken down into two areas: questions related to a sample resume, and a writing exercise.

To keep the certification current, resume writers are required to take continuing education courses throughout their career or to pass an additional exam.

2. One other thing is very Important in choosing a Professional Resume Writer: The company that they work for. When you are shopping ask questions:

Does the company have a customer service department?
Do they have a quality control department?
Do they have online communication channels?
In other words...is there a Professional organization backing up the writer or not?

The other part of the equation is do they provide you with a Resume Package or simply a "resume". You need a cover letter, you need a Professional follow up or Thank you letter as well. Are they included in the cost or will you be charged extra?

Lastly...How do they guarantee your Resume?

If it is satisfaction guaranteed THAT MEANS NOTHING ! You and I have written resumes we were satisfied with but...that didn't get us Interviews! Our Satisfaction isn't important . What is Important is that the employer reads the resume and CALLS YOU IN FOR THE INTERVIEW!

I personally think a
Professional Resume should have a 100 % Money Back Guarantee.
