Summary
ResumeEdge is certainly a trustworthy resume writing service with excellent track record (it has been around since 1998 and has completed over 100,000 resumes with 98% satisfaction rate), but the site itself, although beautifully designed, could have been a little bit more organized. For example, LinkedIn profile editing is listed among the company’s products on some pages but is omitted on others.
Nevertheless, the service leaves an extremely favorable impression: each client gets a 30-45 minutes phone consultation with his/her writer which ensures personalized approach to each assignment, you may use an online resume-building tool with 14-day trial period, and order completion doesn’t take very long, although throughput time is somewhat longer than in some other agencies – you can get your resume in 72 hours at the earliest. Customer support is available 5 days a week and always answers your questions swiftly.
ResumeEdge provides a number of additional services: LinkedIn profiles, cover and follow-up letters. Unfortunately, they are not offered as separate features, one can only order them as a part of a large, more expensive package, which may be inconvenient in case you already have something from this list.
Prices offered by ResumeEdge cannot be called either high or low – all in all, it provides solid quality for a reasonable fee.
Verdict
ResumeEdge is a very reliable all-rounder – although it offers neither the best throughput time on the market nor the lowest prices, it still provides a good price/quality ratio and has been around for long enough for you not to worry about giving this company your money.
