Your career journey starts here.
This 15-minute consultation call is the first step.
Here’s what you can expect from this consultation call:
- A one-on-one targeted discussion with a dedicated career expert about your career goals, challenges, and aspirations
- Personalized advice and actionable steps to advance your career
- Answers to questions you may have about our services
- Most importantly — strategic advice on which services are the best fit for YOU according to your situation, issues, and requirements
During your free consultation call, you’ll receive insider advice and assessment from industry experts, gain insights into the benefits of optimizing your resume and LinkedIn profile, and receive an overview of a tailored roadmap to achieve your career goals.
We’ll guide you through our various services, and based on your career needs, requirements, and goals, we’ll help you select the ones that can benefit you the most.
For Felipe Reyes, a former client, we prepared a tailored career strategy that included our coaching services.
Here’s a little backstory. Felipe was constantly getting lowball offers because he was being pigeonholed into manager roles ($100,000 – $150,000).
His target job was Software Engineer, and he was already earning $250,000+/year. But he wanted to see if he could cross the $300,000 mark.
Other than Felipe’s lack of salary research, we noticed weaknesses in his communication style, which prompted us to suggest our coaching services. We believed these would be the best for him to articulate his worth better and successfully negotiate a desirable offer!
Here’s how we helped Felipe:
- Through market research, we empowered him to recognize his true value and assertively demand it.
- We helped Felipe portray himself as a technical expert as opposed to simply a project coordinator, via interview coaching.
- We navigated through the offers and counter-offers, providing detailed emails to share with the recruiting team.
He invested in our coaching services for $2400…and his take-home pay bumped up by $70,000/year from his previous job.
The overall offer went from $272,000 to $323,000/year — a $51,000/year increase!
Now, you might have some questions about YOUR career and may be eager to get answers quickly. Here’s a quick overview of the most common questions people ask me.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Process
- You’ve just scheduled a consultation call with us; we’ll talk about your career goals and how to reach them.
- If this entails investing in our services, I’ll guide you on the ones that fit your needs and help you purchase using our services page.
- Here’s what happens after that:
Once you invest in our writing or coaching services, you will be redirected to another page to schedule a more in-depth call. I can help you book this call or show you how to do it yourself.
For our writing services:
Your assigned writer will spend roughly six to eight hours studying your career goals, the associated job market, complete history, and anything else shared. They’ll use that to prepare for your information-gathering call, which spans roughly 90 minutes to two hours.
This call will be completely tailored around your career and goals. We find that rather than relying on a questionnaire, this conversation-based approach gets better, more powerful accomplishments out of our clients.
After this conversation, we’ll get to work on your written materials and have everything over within about a week of our discussion.
Once your materials are ready, if you like, I can share them with my recruiter friends to see if they have any open searches that match your profile.
For our coaching services:
If you are interested in a coaching service, you can schedule your coaching call to discuss the issues in your career or anything that’s becoming a worrying concern for you in interviews, for example. Our coach will work with you one-on-one to overcome those and possibly schedule follow-up calls to check in on your progress.
Below are some factors that can really throw you off your interview game — no matter how competent of a worker you are:
- the pressure of interviewing
- rambling or oversharing
- nervousness about potential salary negotiation
Irrespective of how natural this might be, it can lead to a massive dip in interview performances and devastatingly impact one’s career and ambitions.
All of this stems from not getting candid feedback on how you’re coming across.
Take Nadine’s case, for example.
Our interview coach noticed she went off-path in her answers, indulging in irrelevant details, didn’t present examples showcasing her accomplishments, and lacked confidence in her expertise.
Additionally, she had a diploma in Pharmacy Technology, which wasn’t related to her target job. She also had a one-year gap in her resume, which interviewers always seemed to want to grill her on.
She signed up for our interview coaching service and here’s how we helped her:
- Showcased her expertise in the industry despite the lack of a relevant degree. Leveraged her high-score certifications.
- Illustrated her consistent skill development during her job search gap, which boosted her confidence and focused on her proficiency.
- Guided her on each question strategically, emphasizing her unique value. Restructured and improved her answers.”
She got the first job she interviewed for the following day!

Our clients are extremely busy people, so we work around their schedules. We are available as early as 5 AM Eastern, as late as 10 PM Pacific, and all throughout the day.
If you call or text 714.845.7104, you should expect a near-immediate response; if I am out of the office, one of my colleagues will help you using the notes I share with them.
You’ll be given a three-question form to tell us more about your career goals. If you’re comfortable, I can do it for you.
Next, our clients schedule another longer, more in-depth call where they tell us more about their career history. This helps us capture your accomplishments.
If we decide to work together, you’ll have to sign our general agreement form, legally binding us to safeguard any confidential information you provide.
Our usual turnaround is five business days. However, if you want us to deliver the files earlier, please check out our rush delivery options here.

While we promise to guide you to the best of our abilities regardless of who you decide to work with, we highly recommend taking assistance from our full-time, certified team, who has been writing resumes for over a decade.
- We are trained rigorously on best practices that have been approved by 3,000 of our recruiter friends across the United States.
- We make every effort to keep these practices updated by different industries.
- We also have a dedicated quality control manager who ensures everything you receive is in line with these best practices.
Writers and coaches that charge lower fees may be able to do so because:
- Their expertise may be narrower; they may not be applying to jobs for their clients, helping them prep for interviews, choosing a career that suits them better, or negotiating their salaries. Having someone by your side who understands the full picture of the job market is critical to getting a good, high-paying job quickly.
- They may be outsourcing their service delivery to freelancers or contractors.
- Their level of service may not be as rigorous or could stop as soon as the materials are delivered.
- Collaboration might be very limited.
- They may not be certified or may not undertake formal continued training.
- They may be cutting costs by short-cutting parts of the process that are critical to your success, like on-call information gathering, one-on-one coaching, and using pre-written resume templates!
Some of the things our clients have commended us for in the past include:
- Being able to command significantly higher salaries with our coaching and writing services
- Maintaining trust and sensitivity with their career because we never utilize templated, one-size-fits-most approaches
- Our knowledge of the ever-changing job search world to build our own training and certification programs
- How we stay in touch and continue to provide support
- Unlimited revisions on written materials until they are satisfied. (The only thing we may charge extra for is if you’re changing the scope of your search to another field or updating your materials with some new information.)
When it comes to CareerTuners’ resume-writing service, a $600 resume does sound expensive — initially.
However, if you’re considering a lower-cost alternative, I want to warn you against wasting your money on a service that may not provide the same level of quality.
On the other hand, $600 is a fantastic investment if you’re going to see an ROI of 25 or even more, right?
Chief Hotel Engineer Ray Crabtree had a similar experience after using our services.
He wanted to transition from direct hospitality to engineering management. Unfortunately, his resume had many glaring red flags, like job hopping, unclear career progression, a missing college degree, and a lack of significant accomplishments.
When Ray came to us, it was evident what we needed to address. Along with ATS optimization, we did three things:
- Uncovered overlooked accomplishments and ensured their alignment with employer needs.
- Highlighted his transformational leadership capabilities to downplay short tenures.
- Compensated for the lack of degree by making his brand all about his continuous development.
Where is Ray now?
“As soon as I started applying using my latest resume, I landed my target role, and that too with double the salary offer from what I was making already.”
After our targeted resume edits, not only was Ray able to secure a Director of Engineering role but also DOUBLE his salary.
Impressed with our services, he returned a year later for a resume update, resulting in a great job.
He opted for our resume-writing services consistently, and the focused enhancements made a HUGE difference in his professional journey.

I understand your concerns about the cost of our resume-writing service. However, it’s also crucial to consider the potential drawbacks of trying to revamp your resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, or other career documents on your own.
- Lack of job market insights: We have access to up-to-date information about industry trends, keywords, and hiring practices. Without this insider knowledge, your DIY approach might result in a resume that doesn’t align with current job market demands.
- Professional formatting: Our expertise ensures that your resume not only contains the right content but also presents it in a way that captures recruiters’ attention. DIY attempts may lead to a poorly formatted document that gets overlooked.
- Keyword optimization: Many companies use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to filter resumes. We know how to optimize your resume with relevant keywords to increase its chances of passing through ATS scans. Without this knowledge, your self-written resume might not even make it to a human reviewer.
- Customization: Each job application is unique, and tailoring your resume accordingly is essential. We personalize your resume to match specific job descriptions and industry expectations, increasing your chances of getting noticed by hiring managers.
- Recruiter insights: We know what recruiters look for in resumes. Trying to do it yourself might mean missing out on critical details that recruiters value, which could result in a lack of responses from potential employers.
In summary, while there is a potentially hefty cost associated with our service, investing in professional resume writing can significantly improve your chances of success in a competitive job market.
The best results you can achieve are with professionals who do this for a living – that’s us! For most of our clients, our service fee is less than one day of their annual pay.
How they rationalize their investment with us is: if we can save you a few weeks of staring at a blinking cursor, wondering what to write or how to edit the materials you’ve received, then the services pay for themselves.
However, that’s not where the real bang for your buck comes in. Most clients earn significantly higher salaries with our services, some doubling their pay – Ray Crabtree, for example.
No. Our consultation is completely free. I look forward to speaking to you soon!
Frequently Asked Questions about the Guarantees
Because we cannot control hiring decisions or take interviews for you, we cannot guarantee that you’ll get the job you want; it would be unethical for us to make that claim — please be cautious of people who make such claims.
What I can guarantee is my continued support. I will continue to check in and help you with anything you might need. I’ll also share recommendations that you can implement to improve your outcomes.

“The CareerTuners team is knowledgeable and helpful. Not only did they provide resume writing service, but also thoughtful career advice tailored to me. I am so happy that I made the investment. It brought me so many opportunities that I could never think of before the resume writing. They also did multiple follow ups to ensure I was getting interviews and offered to update the resume.
