Your resume, written on the two days you actually control.
A human-written resume writing service for professionals $99. We take intake calls Saturday and Sunday, so this doesn’t have to cost you a weekday.
No account needed to start · Pay after your intake call
Not a reformat. A rewrite.
Here is the actual deliverable, itemized — so you can hold it against anyone else’s quote.
Written from scratch
New professional summary, rewritten bullets, restructured sections. We don’t run your old document through a new template.
Bullets with numbers in them
We push for the figures: budget owned, team size, percentage moved, revenue influenced. Vague bullets are the reason resumes get skipped.
ATS-safe structure
Single column, standard section headings, no text boxes, tables, headers, footers, or inline graphics — the formatting choices most likely to break parsing.
Keywords from real postings
Pulled from live job ads for your target role and worked into context — not dumped into a skills bar where recruiters ignore them.
Two one-to-one sessions
One to dig out your material, one to walk the draft together. Both bookable on a Saturday or Sunday, included at every price tier.
Unlimited revisions
Mark up the draft and we rework it. Then again, if it still isn’t right. No round limit, no revision fees, included at every tier.
The templates your resume gets built on.
Every layout below is one we actually deliver — single column, standard headings, parser-safe. Your content gets written into whichever structure fits your career, not dropped into the one that looks nicest.
What “weekend availability” actually means here.
Most resume services are email-and-wait. These are hours you can hold us to.
Book a 45-minute Saturday or Sunday slot. That’s the whole ask.
- Saturday & Sunday calls
- 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM ET, booked straight onto the calendar. No “request a time” form.
- Weekend reply window
- Messages sent Saturday or Sunday are answered within 4 hours — not Monday morning.
- Delivery
- Standard delivery is 7 days from your first session. Need it sooner? 24-hour turnaround is available on request — terms and conditions apply.
- What it costs you
- Two one-to-one sessions, both bookable on a weekend. No PTO, no ducking out of a standup, no rescheduling your week.
Four steps, one weekend.
Send us what you have
Upload your current resume — or a LinkedIn export if that’s all you’ve got — and name the roles you’re targeting.
Your first one-to-one session
This is where the value is. We dig for the context that isn’t on your old resume: why the promotion happened, what the project was actually worth, what you own that your title doesn’t say.
A writer builds it
Your document gets written around your target role — structure, summary, and every bullet chosen for where you’re going, not where you’ve been.
Session two, then unlimited revisions
Your second one-to-one session walks through the draft together. After that, send notes any time — we rework it until it’s right, however many passes that takes.
Is this AI-written? No — and here’s how you can tell.
A human writes your resume. We use AI the way a writer uses spellcheck and a keyword tool, never as the drafting engine. The difference shows up in a single bullet.
Managed vendor relationships and oversaw procurement processes to ensure operational efficiency.Longer. Smoother. Says exactly as much as the sentence it started from — which is nothing.
Renegotiated 14 vendor contracts worth $2.3M, cutting annual spend 18% while shortening average delivery time from 21 to 12 days.The numbers were never on the old resume. They came out of a 10-minute back-and-forth.
How to test any resume service on this: ask them what they’ll ask you. If the intake is a form with no follow-up questions, you’re buying a reformat.

Who books a weekend slot.
Full-time professionals
Your calendar is meetings from nine to six, and you’ve been putting this off for weeks.
Managers and senior ICs
You need scope and impact positioned for the next level, not just listed in order.
Career changers
Your experience is relevant. Your current resume doesn’t make that obvious in a six-second skim.
Active applicants
You’re submitting now, and every week with a weak resume is applications you don’t get back.
Passive candidates
You’re not looking yet, but you want to be ready the week a recruiter calls.
Returning to work
You have a gap to frame and skills that need re-anchoring to what employers are hiring for now.

Questions people ask before booking.
How much does a resume writing service cost?
Professional resume writing in the U.S. typically runs $99 to $1,200 depending on career level. The CV Guy has three packages. Starter is $99 and includes a full rewrite, a free cover letter, two one-to-one sessions, unlimited revisions and editable files. Premium is $149 and adds a LinkedIn profile revamp. Executive is $199 and adds one extra CV in Indeed, SEEK or Europass format.
Do you work on Saturdays and Sundays?
Yes. The CV Guy takes intake calls from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM ET on both Saturday and Sunday, and answers weekend messages within four hours. You do not need to take time off work to use the service.
How long does it take to get my resume?
Standard delivery is 7 days from your first one-to-one session. A 24-hour rush service is available on request, subject to writer availability and terms and conditions.
Are your resumes ATS-friendly?
Yes. Every resume uses a single-column layout with standard section headings, and avoids text boxes, tables, headers, footers, and images in the body — the formatting choices most likely to break applicant tracking system parsing. Being ATS-safe does not mean keyword stuffing; the goal is the right terminology in the right context, still readable to a human recruiter.
Are the resumes written by AI?
No. A human writer writes your resume based on an intake conversation. AI is used only for keyword research against target job postings and for proofreading — never to generate your content.
Can I use my existing resume as a starting point?
Yes, and most clients do. Send your current version plus anything else that helps — job descriptions you’re targeting, performance reviews, project summaries.
Can I get my resume in 24 hours?
A 24-hour rush service is available on request. It depends on writer availability and on you being reachable for the intake session same-day, and terms and conditions apply. Standard delivery is 7 days.
How many one-to-one sessions do I get?
Two, at every price tier. The first digs out your career material and target roles; the second walks through the completed draft together. Both can be booked on a Saturday or Sunday.
How many revisions do I get?
Unlimited. There is no cap on revision rounds and no per-revision fee at any price tier — we keep reworking the draft until you are happy with it.
Do you write resumes for U.S. job seekers specifically?
Yes. This service follows U.S. hiring conventions: no photo, no date of birth, no marital status, reverse-chronological structure, and U.S. spelling and date formats.
What if I’m not happy with the result?
Revisions are unlimited, so anything that misses gets fixed at no extra cost. If the draft is fundamentally off-brief rather than just needing edits, tell us and we will reassign your project to a different writer and start again.
Get it done this weekend.
You spend Monday through Friday building the career. Spend forty-five minutes on Saturday making sure the resume shows it.
