Here’s How It Works
Strategize 1:1 with Your Writer
Match with the best-fit writer from our team, then dig deep in a 1-on-1 phone consult to build your custom resume strategy.
Perfect Your Resume
Once you review your drafts, your writer will make any needed revisions until you’re 100% happy with your new resume.
Stand Out with Custom Branding
When a resume alone isn’t enough to set you apart, we’ll optimize your LinkedIn profile and create custom networking and branding docs like our Impact Deck & Leadership Snapshot.
The best investment you can make in your career progression.
The Upword Resume Difference
⇨ 1000s of happy clients
⇨ 5-star Google reviews
⇨ 70+ industry specialties
⇨ Expert writers trained beyond the industry standard
⇨ Network of 350+ recruiters and hiring managers
⇨ Proven best practices that work in today’s job market
⇨ 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Your Professional Branding Arsenal
If everyone has a solid resume and good credentials, how can you stand out from the crowd? These add-on branding documents showcase your skills in multiple formats. You can deploy them for networking, making contact with a recruiter, or following up after an interview.
LinkedIn Profile
Recruiters use it as their primary means for sourcing new candidates. Hiring teams use it to vet candidates. It’s the perfect place to cultivate and connect with your network. We’ll make sure your profile aligns with your new resume and we’ll optimize keywords throughout.
Executive Bio
A one-page narrative summary of your career story. Where you started, where you are now, and the key accomplishments that set you apart. Perfect for board introductions, networking, or company websites.
Leadership Snapshot
Modelled after executive search firms, this is the most high-level view of your career. It captures your industry, roles, credentials, and results. Perfect for recruiter introductions.
Impact Deck
A favorite, especially among our executive clients. A brief slide deck showcasing the most impressive accomplishments of your career, with more context and back-story than a resume allows. Great as an interview follow-up.
“I was getting nowhere in landing interviews or even getting much engagement…I applied for a job the day after she sent my new resume, was contacted the following day by an employer, and was offered the position by the end of that week.”

When Your Career Is Mission-Critical
I hear it from clients almost every day:
⇨ Things are so different from the last time I had to do a job search.
⇨ I’ve been wrestling with my resume for weeks–and I think it’s getting worse, not better.
⇨ This job market is tough but I need to keep progressing.
I’ll be real with you: A resume alone isn’t going to land you the job. But it’s an essential piece of the puzzle.
A resume done right gets you past ATS filters, and it resonates with human readers.
It’s packed with keywords, and it’s concise and readable.
It follows all the current best practices, and it has metrics and value propositions that pop.
Everything we do at Upword Resume is built on 20 years of experience and real-world input from our network of 350+ recruiters and hiring managers.
I’ve built our processes to be iterative, collaborative, energizing, and stress-free.
By the time we’re done, our clients are saying:
⇨ The person in the resume sounds so amazing, I’d hire them myself!
⇨ You’ve changed how I see myself and my career.
⇨ My interviewer said they were really impressed with my resume.
If keeping your career moving forward isn’t optional, you’re in the right place.
Let’s say your most recent job paid $60,000/year…
And if your new job gives you a better-fit, more satisfying role and the higher quality of life that comes with it? Priceless.
Not to mention—
✓ No second-guessing the rules of resume writing.
✓ Confidence in sending out your resume.
✓ No hassle.
✓ No awkwardly trying to toot your own horn.

Our Promise
Job hunting is stressful enough, so here’s our no-risk guarantee
We will create a strong, targeted resume that you are proud to send out as a best reflection of your professional skills. If you don’t feel we’ve done that, then our job isn’t done. We’ll continue working with you until you are 100% satisfied with your new resume.
Select A PackageFAQ
How do you choose which writer I’ll work with?
We hand-match you with a resume expert who specializes in your industry and career level. Whether you’re an executive in finance, a senior manager in tech, or pivoting a new field, we ensure your writer understands the roles you’re targeting and how to position you. ALTITUDE clients can opt to work directly with CPRW veteran and Upword founder, Angela Ashurst.
What happens after I start an order?
After you submit payment, you’ll go to a brief intake form to provide your existing resume or just some rough notes on your work history. Don’t worry about submitting polished, detailed responses. This is just the starting point, and you can flesh out the details in the strategy call with your writer. A couple sample job descriptions are helpful as well. Once we receive your intake form, your writer will email you to schedule your strategy call. Contact us at care@upwordresume.com if you have issues at any point in the process.
Mine is a tricky situation. (long career, complex work history, career transition, career gaps) Can you help?
That’s our specialty! We align your resume with the next step in your career. Whether you have career gaps, industry pivots, complicated company acquisitions, or 20+ years of work history, we know how to turn your career into a clear, compelling narrative that opens doors.
How are your Premium resume services different from Resume Express?
While Resume Express and Premium both include a strategy call with a resume expert, Premium takes it to the next level with a fully custom process. Your writer will craft every line of your resume to capture your unique strengths, differentiators, and future career goals. We align your story with the roles you’re targeting, creating a resume that positions you for your next-level opportunities
What if I need my resume fast?
Typically you’ll get your new resume within 3 business days after your strategy call. For expedited scheduling, 2-day delivery is available. Add this to your cart along with your resume package, and we’ll bump you to the front of the queue and have your drafts ready within 2 business days.
Can I add more services later if I start with a smaller package?
Of course! If you’re not sure which package to choose, start with Runway or Elevate. You can upgrade to Altitude for full branding support when you’re ready. We keep your project on file, so adding services or documents is seamless.
