I’m a (fill in the blank), will your digital courses work for me?

The digital courses I've created share best practices and strategies that work for job seekers at all career levels.

How can I access my digital course?

After purchasing a digital course, you will receive an email with information to create an account or log in to your course. Please check your Junk or Spam folder if you don't see this email shortly after purchasing.

You'll also find this information on your Order Confirmation and Order Status pages. If you're having issues accessing your course, please contact hello@offtheclockresumes.com.

Will my new resume work for every job I apply for?

When you apply for jobs online, you send your resume and application to that employer's Applicant Tracking System. This software helps recruiters narrow down applicants to the top qualified candidates based on the keywords in your resume.

For this reason, you must tailor your resume for each job before you apply.

Within these digital courses, you’ll get tools to help you tailor your resume for new opportunities as they arise and access to additional feedback on your resumes throughout your job search.

Do you make any guarantees?

I do not guarantee interviews, job offers, or any career outcomes. There are simply too many factors involved in the job search. Results will vary based on:

  • How proactive you are in the job search process
  • Whether or not you're applying for positions you are qualified for, and
  • If you use your resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, etc. as advised
  • Forces in the economy that are outside of your control

Refund Policies

For Digital Courses & Products

Since you'll have instant access to digital course materials and digital products upon receipt of payment, no refunds are available once purchased.

All digital courses offer a 60-day Reassurance Promise. If after 60 days of purchase you can show that you’ve implemented the strategies recommended in the digital course but you haven't landed any interviews or seen any positive outcomes as defined in the specific digital course FAQ, I'll provide complimentary consulting services to assess what obstacles are preventing your success and advise on your specific circumstances.

For Services

Refunds are not available for 12-point Resume and LinkedIn Profile Critiques or Targeting Analysis & Roadmaps since these are personalized and non-returnable deliverables.Rebranding Revisions and Done-for-you Resume Services include revisions like any writing project, but your first draft may serve as a final document. Consequently, there are no refunds once your first drafts have been sent by email.

Working With Steph

I'm mostly seeing digital products on your website. How can I work with you directly?

As of July 2022, I've been a full-time working-from-home Mama. Now that my daughter is a toddler (with more energy than I anticipated), I have very limited time to devote my undivided attention to clients.

For this reason, I'm only providing Done-for-you Resume and LinkedIn Services on a very limited basis. I'm now focusing on teaching the strategies, methods, and tricks that have helped my clients land more interviews and get a foot in the door at the companies they'd love to work for.

What working with me directly looks like now:

  • Feedback on your existing resume (and LinkedIn profile) based on your job search strategy with a 12-point Resume Critique
  • Feedback on your resume after you make revisions to it based on the strategies shared in one of my digital courses
  • Guidance on how to improve your resume (and LinkedIn profile) to position yourself as the best fit for the job you want with a Targeting Analysis & Roadmap
  • Revisions to your resume's Branding Statement and Skills section as well as feedback on how to improve your Experience section to position you as the best fit for a specific job opportunity with a Rebranding Revision

Can I see some examples of resumes you've worked on?

Yes, but please keep in mind that these resume examples are best for previewing my design style only. A job-winning resume's content will be 100% unique to that job seeker's background, skills, and job target.

The resumes I design have clean, flat designs with minimal to no graphics. I take into consideration what is appropriate for each client's industry as well as career level and personal branding preferences. I also utilize resume formats and layouts that align with how resumes are reviewed by recruiters and hiring managers based on Eye Tracking studies.

My writing style aligns with best practices and quality standards established by the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches—emphasizing goal-oriented and results-focused work history examples, storytelling with strong action words, and natural integration of keywords throughout.

If you're available to take on my Done-for-you Resume project, how does it work?

All new clients start with an Are We A Good Fit Quiz & Introduce Yourself Form with a resume upload option on my website. The Introduce Yourself Form will also give me a better idea of where you are at in your career and job search right now.

A $149 non-refundable deposit will be collected, and I'll prepare a Targeting Analysis & Roadmap outlining areas for improvement to better target your resume and the additional information I'll need before I can start your resume project. I'll collect this additional information from you with a Work History Examples Worksheet.

If the information I request isn’t provided within the requested deadline, your resume project may be placed on a waiting list.

Unless I need to fill in any information gaps, I'll collect the remaining balance and get started on your first draft. First drafts are ready for review by email in 5 business days.

I provide 2 rounds of revisions for accuracy and clarity as well as a personalized video to show you how to make minor revisions and adjust your new resume for each application with Done-for-you Resume Services. If you neglect to request revisions or stop communicating with me about your resume project, I’ll complete the project by sending your final documents.

Will my new resume work for every job I apply for?

When you apply for jobs online, you send your resume and application to that employer's Applicant Tracking System. This software helps recruiters narrow down applicants to the top qualified candidates based on the keywords in your resume.

For this reason, you must tailor your resume for each job before you apply.

Whether you work with me through Done-for-you Resume Services or the one of my digital courses, you’ll get tools to help you tailor your resume for new opportunities as they arise and access to additional feedback on your resumes throughout your job search.

I also offer Rebranding Revisions: a limited revision service where I'll identify the most important details from (1) job posting you provide, refine your resume's Branding Statement and Skills section, and outline areas to improve the targeting of your Experience section to position you as the best fit for the job.

How does LinkedIn Plus work?

You’ll receive a link to a short LinkedIn Questionnaire with your final documents after completing Done-for-you Resume Services. I’ll get started on your LinkedIn profile recommendations once I receive your answers.

Five business days* after receiving your LinkedIn Questionnaire, I'll provide a document with profile recommendations that you can either copy and paste directly into your profile if you have an existing LinkedIn profile or that I'll use to create your profile on your behalf if you don't have an existing profile once the recommended content is approved.

*If you're unable to complete the LinkedIn Questionnaire within two weeks of receiving your final documents, your profile recommendations will be ready for review in 10 business days subject to my availability.

Why can't you just log in and make changes to my profile?

Due to LinkedIn's Terms of Use and liability concerns, I won't log in on your behalf or access your existing profile.

This would risk the suspension of both of our accounts.

Do you make any guarantees?

I do not guarantee interviews, job offers, or any career outcomes. There are simply too many factors involved in the job search. Results will vary based on:

  • How proactive you are in the job search process
  • Whether or not you're applying for positions you are qualified for, and
  • If you use your resume, LinkedIn profile, cover letter, etc. as advised
  • Forces in the economy that are outside of your control

I worked with you before. What if I need to update my resume? Or purchase additional services like a cover letter?

When it's time to add new work history to your resume, you can purchase a Resume Update for $99 from the Client Portal. Simply click the "Resume Updates" button and provide the information requested for a Resume Update. Once your payment has been processed, your updated resume will be ready for review in 5 business days.

From the Client Portal, you can also buy additional services at a discounted rate and find free tools and resources for job seekers.
