    How long does the process take?<\/h4><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t

    Timeframes vary depending on the service and the complexity of the project. Specific timelines are discussed before work begins.<\/p>\n

    For resume packages, the draft is delivered within 5-7 business days after the intake meeting. Then the client gives feedback and I make revisions. The average number of drafts is three.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Once the resume is done, I write a cover letter, usually within 2 business days.<\/p>\n

    If you purchase a LinkedIn profile, development of your profile begins after the resume and cover letter are complete.\u00a0
