You're not looking for a template. You're looking for someone who understands what your career has actually been about, then translates that into materials that command attention from recruiters, hiring managers, and decision-makers who see hundreds of resumes a week. That's where I come in. I've been writing resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles professionally since 2017. My work spans executives stepping into board and advisory roles, senior leaders pursuing internal promotions, mid-career professionals navigating industry pivots, and graduates entering competitive fields. I've built career materials for clients across healthcare, technology, finance, hospitality, nonprofit, government, marketing, operations, HR, and clinical fields, including professionals tied to organizations like Penn Medicine, Jefferson Health, Lancaster General Health, UPMC, EY, and venture-backed startups. What clients consistently tell me: the writing reads like them, only sharper. The strategy is built around where they're going, not just where they've been. And the final product looks like something they're proud to send. WHAT YOU GET WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER Every resume engagement comes in two tiers, depending on how you want to show up: 🎯 Standard Edition: An ATS-optimized Word and PDF resume engineered to parse cleanly through applicant tracking systems while still reading as a strategic narrative. Built for application volume, recruiter outreach, and corporate hiring pipelines. 🎯 Signature Edition: A design-forward resume built in Canva, crafted for executives, consultants, and professionals who need their materials to make an impression in board rooms, networking introductions, speaking engagements, and high-touch interview processes. This is the version you hand to a hiring partner or post on your professional site. Most clients invest in both. They use the Standard Edition for online applications and recruiter submissions, then deploy the Signature Edition for warm introductions and executive conversations. FULL-SERVICE CAREER PARTNERSHIP Resumes are the starting point. Most of my clients work with me across the full career branding ecosystem: ➼ Resume writing and strategic positioning ➼ Cover letters tailored to specific roles, industries, and decision-makers ➼ LinkedIn profile rewrites, including headline strategy, About sections, experience translation, and visual brand assets ➼ LinkedIn implementation guides and launch content for executives ➼ Reverse recruiting and job search strategy support ➼ Interview preparation, including STAR-method coaching and presentation development ➼ Career consulting for transitions, promotions, and pivots ➼ Executive bios, board profiles, and consulting one-pagers If you're building toward something specific, a promotion, a pivot, a board seat, an exit from corporate into consulting, we'll architect the materials together as a system, not as one-off documents. 📝 Why Clients Choose To Work With Me 📝 A few things tend to come up in feedback: ✮ I write strategically, not generically. Every resume is built around the specific roles, industries, and decision-makers you're targeting. We don't pad with buzzwords or recycle templates. ✮ I bring practitioner perspective. Outside of Upwork, I work in career services, which means I see the hiring side of the equation regularly. I know what pulls a recruiter in and what gets a resume passed over in three seconds. ✮ I communicate clearly and move quickly. Most projects are completed within five to seven business days, with milestone check-ins and revision rounds built in. You'll always know where things stand. ✮ I treat your career like it matters. Because it does. The professionals I work with have spent decades building expertise. My job is to make sure the materials representing that expertise actually do it justice. Who I Work Best With ✔ Executives and senior leaders preparing for board, advisory, or C-suite transitions ✔ Mid-career professionals targeting promotions, pivots, or strategic moves ✔ Specialists in technical, clinical, or regulated fields who need credibility translated for broader audiences ✔ Founders and consultants building executive presence on LinkedIn and beyond ✔ Professionals returning to the workforce after a break or career inflection point If your target role is at the director level or above, or if your situation is genuinely complex (multi-industry background, equity transitions, return after a gap, international moves), I'm a strong fit. 📍 Let's Talk 📍 Send me a message with a few details about where you are, where you're headed, and what's making the search feel harder than it should. I'll respond with a clear recommendation on which deliverables fit your situation, an honest timeline, and a flat-rate quote. No upsells. No template factories. Just strategic career materials built to move you forward. Colin Suber Professional Resume Writer & Career Consultant

Many people now hire resume writers, so even a professionally written resume usually looks average. I have helped thousands of people secure interviews in the most crowded job markets, and I'm especially qualified to make your resume stand out: 1. I have written resumes for people from C-level executives to new graduates. As a seasoned resume writer, I'm an expert in this field’s current practices. 2. I have also been a recruiter, so I know how hiring managers select a resume from hundreds of others, and I understand the full hiring process. 3. I’m up to date with applicant-tracking software (ATS) systems. More than 90% of resumes sent for a typical opening won’t be seen by human eyes because ATS systems first screen them. They require effective use of keywords and certain types of formatting. There are more than 200 ATS systems and they change quickly. 4. I have been a voracious reader for 30 years (with a 10,000-volume home library). Reading intensively on a daily basis has made me a more astute critic than writers who read less are--I can notice more of a resume's shortcomings. I can also see more nuances in a resume's language and understand how they will affect the hiring manager's impressions. 5. I have traveled extensively in China, Southeast Asia, India, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. I studied and wrote about their cultures in 2 books and over 200 articles. Extra creativity and the ability to look at people and their resumes in novel ways, with a larger range of ideas, make a big difference now that resume writing has become more competitive. I will be able to see all of your strengths in more ways than other resume writers will, and my versatility as a writer will allow me to give them more impact. I'll be happy to give your resume a free critique and tell you what I can do to improve it. This is the best way to test a resume writer because it allows you to see his ability to evaluate a resume and think of ways to distinguish you. It also enables you to see his knowledge of the job market, which has recently undergone several profound changes. I have also learned how to craft resumes in ways that can influence the interview in your favor, and I can provide interview coaching. I also write cover letters, LinkedIn profiles, webpages, personal bios, and articles. As a resume writer and an explorer of world cultures, I focus on discovering the richness in people, and I've found that each person is unique and infinitely deep. I love to find more wonders in people and societies and write about them. I look forward to giving you a great new resume and many ideas about taking the next step in your career.

How much does it cost to hire a resume designer?

Writing your resume can feel challenging, but a well-designed, well-written resume can help you stand out among other applicants and land an interview and, ultimately, a new job. Professional resume designers know how hiring managers filter and read applications and how applicant tracking software (ATS) works so that they can deliver the best resume for your needs. 

Resume design freelancer costs vary depending on factors like experience, the scope of the project, and location. Hourly rates might range anywhere from $25 to $150. Some designers might charge a flat rate for a project based on their projected hours, typically including revisions.

Experience and Expertise 

Resume writers will have excellent copywriting skills and experience in graphic design. The more years of experience a designer has, the more they can charge for their skill level. Free resume builders online allow you to plug information into templates and customize colors and fonts. Professional resume writing services can provide personalized resumes optimized for your work history and goals. 

An entry-level designer might be a great option if you are looking for proofreading or a simple resume listing a few jobs, education and special skills. Suppose you’re in a highly competitive field. In that case, a mid-level designer might have more experience optimizing resumes with keywords and ensuring ATS systems don’t filter your resume so it gets in front of human eyes. Expert resume designers are likely to have an expansive portfolio of design projects and might have specialized knowledge or certifications in your field to better help you stand out. 

Scope of Work

The more complex or specialized your resume needs, the more freelancers will likely charge. A resume for an entry-level position will be less expensive than one for an executive-level one. Many resume designers offer add-on services like writing cover letters or performing a LinkedIn profile rewrite. 

Timeline

The more time a freelance graphic designer spends on your resume, the higher the cost. Resume designers can typically turn a resume around quickly for a rush fee if you need it for an upcoming application or interview. If you need it overnight, the cost will be higher than if you need it in a week. 

Geography 

Since resumes can be written and delivered digitally, freelance resume designers can work from anywhere in the world. In the US, professionals in larger cities will likely charge higher rates than those in smaller towns or rural areas. It is possible to outsource resume design work to another country; remember that resume formatting and norms can differ between countries.  

Popular resume design projects & cost examples 

Resume designers can charge hourly or by the project. Here are a few common types of resume designs alongside potential flat rates.  

Chronological resumes are the most common type of resume and list work history in reverse order, from the most recent position to the earliest. A resume designer might charge $15-$50 for a chronological resume. 

Functional resumes focus on skills above work history so potential employers can see the practical skills you’ll bring to their company, like recruiting or training. Flat rates for functional resumes also typically fall between $15-$50.

Infographic resumes showcase design skills alongside work experience and might cost a bit more, between $20-$150.
