“Amanda showed me a whole new way of looking at a resume!! Most importantly how employers look at it.”
- Sylvia Hutchins, hospitality sales manager in Phoenix, AZ
Why hire a professional résumé writer?
In the current economic conditions, résumé writers have been sprouting up all over the Internet. Some promise a 24-hour turnaround, some will provide a reworking of your current document for $99, and many will never speak to you at all. Even larger job-search sites offer résumé-writing services, but many of their writers are overseas and making a pittance. Their concern is to churn out a high number of résumés to get paid, instead of being focused on your needs.
A professional résumé writer should be able to meet you where you are, provide support and guidance, and deliver a flawless document that helps you garner results. Your writer is a strategic partner in your job search, assisting you in creating a targeted document based on your strengths and value proposition. There are a number of credentialing services for résumé writers, but don’t base your choice purely on the letters after your writer’s name! Unfortunately, a certification does not always equal quality or ability.
Have a conversation with a few writers to determine if there is a fit. This is an intimate relationship you’re developing and personalities matter. What kinds of résumés has the firm produced? What results have they received from their clients? Are they partnering with other firms or executive recruiters? The Grammar Doctors specializes in helping director- and executive-level clients, with a majority securing new positions within 60 days. We have connections with executive recruiters in Atlanta, Silicon Valley, Phoenix, and Dayton, placing clients across the country.

“Thank you so much for your services. With your résumé and cover letter, and – most importantly – support, my wife got a job within two weeks. Your service and knowledge are top notch.”
- Alex Lowy, CPA in Phoenix
How The Grammar Doctors differs from the rest
Your résumé is about the value you will provide to a future employer. Period. We work with you to unearth that value through a variety of options to fit your communication style. Whether you prefer a worksheet and quick phone conversation or an in-depth interview setting, you’ll find a fit with The Grammar Doctors. Our forte is getting interviews for our clients. Through our interactions, you’ll receive nuggets on interview questions, determining your accomplishments, and incorporating social media into your job search.
Many résumé writers have backgrounds in journalism. Amanda Collins has a marketing background, and she has taught her writers to focus on the WIIFM factor: What’s in it for me? from the employer’s prospective. We have a unique way of drawing that information from you (no, it doesn’t involve a white light and torture devices) and crafting words that succinctly reflect your value to the reader. Our clients are change agents who create results, and we find those hidden accomplishments and bring them to the forefront.

“Amanda took an unpolished input, got on the phone with me and spent more than an hour stepping through the details and trying to extract what I was trying to say. From that start and on the agreed upon schedule, she created a concise, punchy and well-written product that will serve me well as I amp up my latest endeavor. Amanda showed an excellent grasp of business and marketing in the process. I highly recommend her. I hope to find other writing / editing activity to send her way in the future.”
- Wes Stalcup, business consultant in Celina, TX
Our guarantee
It’s unethical (and illegal in Arizona) for any résumé writer or career consultant to guarantee clients jobs. For all of our clients, we provide 30 days of edits and changes on the résumé and guarantee your satisfaction with the end product. (Platinum clients receive a comprehensive job-search campaign with a money-back guarantee to generate one interview within two months.) In addition to your new résumé, you need to be leveraging your connections and applying many different strategies to ensure success in your job search.
60% of our clients secure positions within two months (even given the current economy!). With an attention to detail, all documents are proofread before finals are delivered to ensure any potential spelling and grammar errors are caught and removed. If you are dissatisfied in any way, tell us and we will remedy the situation to create a document that meets your needs.

“Amanda offers an excellent service at a great value. At first I was not sure if I wanted to make the investment in a custom resume, as I have fewer than 10 years’ working experience, and with a major in communication, I thought that I could write an above-average resume on my own. However, after sending Amanda my first draft for a free critique, I realized that in order to set myself apart in this tough job market, it would be necessary to go to a specialist. The Grammar Doctors gave me exactly what I was looking for: a resume that epitomized what makes me me! I know I can get the job if I can just get the interview. I feel confident that I will find my dream job, even in this competitive market. I am so pleased with my experience, and I would recommend Amanda to anyone who is looking for a way to get a leg up on the competition!”
- Shaina Parr, communications manager in Phoenix, AZ
