financialresumepros.com review and discounts

The name “Financial resume” assumes that they’re specialized in finance industry only and probably good at what they do. However, the developer of their site was not that professional – the site looks a bit obsolete with all these colored fonts and strange layout. But let’s look under the cover…

Price Policy

I noticed that they brightly describe their advantages and philosophy, so I decided to check the approximate prices. They start at $219 for starter’s resume. There’s also a Resume evaluation button that leads you to the page where you need to fill in the form and attach your old resume and cover letter. In 3 or 4 hours I got an email with my quote.

Order details

The price was a bit higher than usual – $399, but I thought it would be worth it. Then we had a phone interview, during which I discussed with the writer all details of my employment, my goals and desired salary. Speaking with the writer was really pleasant. He thanked me for my time and let me know that I could expect the resume in 4 days.

Quality of writing and support

To contact them, there’s a phone and a fax. They don’t even have this standard Contact us form, let alone the chat. I’ve seen a plenty of sites offering assistance 24/7 (like resume-online.com/), so such an approach looks quite strange for me. I got my package on time. And while the resume was good, personalized and was aimed at meeting my goals, cover letter and thank you letter looked pretty standard.

Conclusion

The letters looked like templates, so I called the company asking to fix that as soon as possible. It took them another day to make improvements. Luckily, it made the letters look better, however, still cannot say I’m impressed. To sum up things, the resume was ok, but I found the process really tiring. Moreover, there are lots of cheaper services around that offer financial resumes too.
