FAQ’s

Will I work one-on-one with an expert Career Advocate™?2020-12-20T14:58:36-05:00

Yes! Once you submit your order, we review your current Resume materials and connect you with a team member who will best suit your professional needs. You can then schedule a phone consultation and can contact your Career Advocate™ by phone or email throughout the process.

How do I communicate with my Career Advocate™?2020-12-20T14:59:32-05:00

Directly! Within one business day of placing your order, check your inbox—you’ll have an email welcoming and congratulating you on taking the next step toward your career goals. *If you do NOT see a welcome email within one business day, please check your Spam folder.*

Your personal Career Advocate™ will ask to schedule a Spark Session (our cool term for a phone consultation) and begin asking questions specific to your career development, contributions, skills, and goals.

While your Career Advocate™ gets to work crafting your professional story, he or she will maintain constant, direct communication with you throughout the entire process.

What industry sectors do you write for?2020-12-20T15:00:29-05:00

At Career Climb, our talented team works with clients in both public and private sectors. Our work in the private sector includes for-profit and non-profit privately-owned organizations. The public sector includes central, state, or local organizations of the government.

Does Career Climb guarantee interviews?2020-12-20T15:02:58-05:00

With so many factors in play, Career Climb can’t guarantee any interview requests following our services. We bring in only the most effective Certified Professional Resume Writers and Career Coaches in the industry, so they put their skills to the test, but only you can control the postings you apply to and how you do it. As a small business, we work hard to ensure every client feels confident heading into their job search.

After a reasonable amount of time, if you are not getting job search traction, we will make minor adjustments to your new Resume and address additional opportunities that may have been uncovered during your job search.

Our goal as Career Advocates™ is to make sure your accomplishments and goals are expressed on your Resume in the most effective way possible, and we will use our expertise to position you for success with Applicant Tracking Systems, Hiring Managers, and Recruiters!

What is an Applicant Tracking System (ATS)?2020-12-20T14:51:07-05:00

With technology changing the structure of hiring, we know the importance of creating resumes that please the technical process of hiring as well as the human-to-human one.

Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) are software programs that work like a resume database. ATS assists companies in their hiring process by reviewing applications quickly and weeding out candidates who do not meet certain requirements.

When a position is posted, the program takes all the submitted applications and screens them based on the resume content that’s included, then files them in a database. When a Hiring Manager is ready to recruit a new employee, they can search the database for keywords to find candidates they want to move forward in the hiring process.

Career Climb’s Career Advocates™ are up-to-date on the latest application technologies. We work hard to craft your documents around the technical details needed to enhance the effectiveness of your resume in ATS. The higher the resume scores in the ATS, the higher the chances are of receiving an interview.

What industries do you specialize in?2020-12-20T14:57:10-05:00

With so many talented and experienced Career Advocates™, we’re able to specialize in a wide variety of industries.

How will I get started with my Career Advocate™?2020-12-20T15:06:42-05:00

You can expect to hear from your Career Advocate™ in a “Welcome” email within one business day* of ordering your service(s).

As part of our in-depth process, we may ask you to complete a New Client Worksheet or Questionnaire depending on how much information you provide at the very start of your project. You will be prompted after submitting your order to upload any Resumes or supporting documents you have to your account—no matter how outdated and ugly they may be!

Between the Resumes uploaded to your account, the New Client Worksheet, and/or the Questionnaire, your Career Advocate™ will review all of the information provided and discuss it with you during your Spark Session (Discovery Call) if you opt to schedule one.

* If you purchased a Rush Service, your Career Advocate™ will reach out to you as soon as possible to start the process.

NOTE: Please check your Spam folder if you do not receive an introductory email within 1 business day of placing your order.

Do you provide Cover Letter Writing Services?2020-12-20T14:55:19-05:00

Of course we do! A Cover Letter can be purchased as a stand-alone service or as an add-on to any Resume Writing Service. This important letter is your introduction as the most qualified candidate on the table, so 90% of our clients ask us to write a killer Cover Letter to accompany their Resume to knock it out of the park! Typically, one Cover Letter that compliments your Resume is sufficient, as we will write one for you that can be easily edited for multiple applications, but if you prefer multiple Cover Letters for various positions, ask us about the discounts we offer for multiple Cover Letters!

Do you provide a LinkedIn Profile Service?2020-12-20T14:53:03-05:00

Yes, we do! A current LinkedIn Profile is a valuable tool for any professional in any industry. Not only is it a networking tool that endorses your skills and validates your achievements, but it’s also a global search engine that Recruiters and Hiring Managers use daily to source candidates for positions (that may not even be public yet)!

98% of Recruiters and 85% of Hiring Managers search for their ideal candidates on LinkedIn, so having your profile up-to-date, accurate, and professional at all times is critical. If your LinkedIn Profile is impressive, you could be contacted for positions you may not have even thought to consider! Who knows—it could be a perfect match so you should always be prepared!

With our LinkedIn Profile Service, your Career Advocates™ will update and optimize your profile with keywords and phrases that best craft the story of your professional development. Stand out in a competitive hiring pool and be seen by Recruiters and Hiring Managers who can take your career to the next level.

Our LinkedIn Service includes:

  • An updated “Headline” and “Professional Summary”
  • Identifying additional skills and achievements to validate your professional value
  • A relevant work history that is up-to-date and clearly demonstrates your experience
Are future Resume Updates included in the service I purchased?2020-12-20T15:08:10-05:00

We’re in this with you for the long haul and will be here when you decide to make your next move. We recommend updating your Resume every 6-12 months, so you can either choose to update it yourself (and access it by logging into your Career Climb account) or get back in touch with your Career Advocate™ who will be happy to make the updates for a small fee.

Once your original project’s 7-day revision period is wrapped up, additional charges for edits and updates do apply. But don’t worry! You don’t have to start all over when you need a few edits or supplementary pieces. Whether you’re ready for a Salary Negotiation Letter since you’re talking with your dream employer or you need a Thank-You Letter for the interviews you just landed, you can sign into your Career Climb account and choose the add-ons you need so your Career Advocate™ can get write to work again.
