Resume writer fees and is it worth it?

We look deeper into the questions on your mind, “How much does a resume writer charge and is it worth it?” and “Should I hire a professional resume writer to write and design my resume?”

It depends on many variables. Some of these variables include the country you are in, the job title you hold, the resume writers niche and experience, the writer being a freelancer or an agency multiple offerings and so on.

You’d find a huge variation between the prices of the wannabe resume writers and the ones that are most sought after. This doesn’t mean the less-experienced resume writers are not good. You just need to find the right one. That said, there’s no guarantee that the one charging higher fees will make a resume you can be super proud of.

Another major factor is the level of seniority of your profile. Higher the job title, the higher the fee. The cost of resume writing for an entry-level position is considerably lower than that for a CEO, in general.

As for countries, if you are in the USA, expect to cough up between $100-500. The more famous ones charge well into the thousands.

Similarly, if you are on the other side of the Atlantic, the UK that is, you are looking at anywhere between £50-300.

If you are in India, the prices range from ₹1000-6000, again depending on similar factors described earlier.

Another big question on your mind could well be, “Is hiring a resume writing service worth it?”

It depends on how much value you derive from the service. If you are the one who believes ‘Time is money’ and can put that saved time to better use, it’s worth it. On the contrary, if you are someone who has the will AND the skill to write a great resume, you should skip hiring a resume writer.

Bottom line: Go for a service when you think that a good resume will help you land a better job and in such a situation the resume pays for itself.
