Which resume service is best for me?
Entry-level resumes are typically one-page documents representing the early careers of recent high school/college graduates, or clients new to the workforce (less than 2 years of paid experience). Entry-level resumes may highlight internships, academic/personal projects, freelance work, and/or volunteer roles in lieu of full-time or paid experience.
Mid-level resumes can be one or two pages to reflect more time in the workforce (2+ years of paid experience). Full- or part-time paid experience relevant to the client's target job(s) will comprise most of the content.
