Imagine being in desperate need of a resume for a job you want to land and not miss it at any cost. You have the best qualifications for the role and enough expertise and skill. You have everything that is needed except a good resume that can help you receive an interview call. You try to reach an online resume writing service to get a perfect resume that is both professional and creative. Of what use will a website be to you if it makes you even more confused?
I am sorry to say it, but, it is a fact that this website makes you confused and has a very high price for the services they offer. I am not talking about the quality at this stage, we will evaluate it later on in this review. I am just trying to give you an idea about the structure of the website and its way of communication.
To give a short verdict about this website, I would like to say that it is a website not unlike others, and gives you an average quality work for the money you pay them.
Services they offer and pricing
Resume Edge is a website that has been there since 1998. At some point in 2017, they closed their services and then reappeared after some time with many positive changes to their website. We will be talking about the services they are currently offering.
There are six services available named as:
- Resume writing
- Resume editing
- Cover letter writing
- LinkedIn profile writing
- KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) responses
- Professional biography
No matter what kind of service you select, there are five options available for each category, namely:
- Entry level (under two years of experience
- Military
- Executive
- Career change
- Professional
When we see a whole bunch of services listed on their website, and four levels of each service they provide priced differently, our pricing part gets confused. It is where this website does not do well. It is not a nice way of doing things.
To get you some idea about the pricing, we begin by writing prices for each level of resume writing service.
- Entry level costs you $97.90 in it is delivered in three days
- A military-level resume will cost you $120.15 with a three-day delivery.
- An executive resume will cost you $129.05 with a three day delivery
- You get a career change resume for $111.25
- A professional resume is priced at $99.68
A bit confusing? Yes. That is the case with all five other services, you have to check each option individually. It is not doomed to be a bad thing forever, many people will find it helpful. They can select a service they need and then check for the level price. It is a fair deal after all.
They have some bundled packages to offer to you and it is a good thing. It is not easy to compare the prices, so I am listing them in the way they are.
This part is also a bit confusing, as the package price changes with the level you select. Below, I will list the price of each bundle for the entry level. You can check the other level prices by visiting their website.
Advanced job application package for $138.59
- Resume writing
- Cover letter writing
An all-inclusive job application package for $229.90
- Resume writing
- Cover letter writing
- LinkedIn profile editing
- Thank you/follow up letter writing
- High priority status
Pro job application package for $199.09
- Resume writing
- Cover letter writing
- LinkedIn profile editing
Please note that the information I have listed here is only for entry level resumes, you can check for military, career change, executive and professional levels by visiting their website.
To sum up, their pricing part is a little bit confusing but at the same time you get a bundle of options to choose from and you can make a purchase for a single service at any level you want. It is a huge plus on their side for many customers. Thumbs up!
Samples
You will encounter different before and after samples for the categories of professional, executive and entry level resumes with complete blogs, so it is a thing that must be appreciated as you can know in anticipation what kind of work you are going to receive from them. A great comeback indeed.
Blog section
It is a good thing that this website serves a blog section that has rich content blogs on every topic that concerns career and resumes.
There are 17 pages of blogs, while each page serves 6 blogs. The content is just promising and really helpful. You get everything from these articles that are full of professional advice.
Privacy
The privacy policy of this website clearly states that they collect your personal information and use them to help them do better in the resume writing services. It should not be a matter of concern for many users as they do not provide any sensitive information on a resume.
Usability and design
This website is simple in terms of design and it is a good thing. These guys are very creative indeed and their creativity often leads you to confusion. How? I will explain that.
There are different services listed and there is an order button for every service you go for. However, clicking on each of these services leads you to a single page that has everything in it and you can select your bundle here or go for an individual service. After you select a bundle or a service, the price for that pops up and then you can place an order or go for another thing remaining on this page.
It is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time. You get a bunch of different options on a single page, so you can easily see and compare. It is a good thing. The bad thing about it is that it does not give you a comparison on itself and you have to check every single option all by yourself.
Talking about the design I will say that it is nicely done. The interface is great and all green. It was just lovely to see. Navigation is just simple and easy.
Pros
- It is a reliable service that has been very popular since its induction in 1998, so it has been in the business for more than a decade, so they have a long industry expertise.
- It has an easy to follow navigation and user interface, with a design that is pleasant looking.
- It has a chat option available on its website to get you in touch with the team. There is also a phone number for you to place a direct call to them.
- The delivery is relatively fast.
- It is a well known service.
Cons
- They deliver an average content for a high price.
- Refund policy is not listed.
- Not so good if you want to have a guaranteed job winning resume
Conclusion
I do not recommend this service to you if you want to have a guaranteed job winning resume. The prices are not so high but not cost-effective also. You have to pay them fairly good prices to have a creative resume. These guys are creative but you do not get a professional resume. You can read blogs that are available on the website if you want to, or you can place an order if you want to pay them to receive an average looking resume from them. It is not a poor service, but not worth your money.
