Where is the best resume writing business in Florida?

​Resume Phenom LLC is based out of the Orlando, FL area and has developed a reputation of quality and professionalism for over 16 years, evidenced by over 225 5-star reviews on Google. The business is based in Central Florida, but serves customers all across the country since all necessary information can be obtained via phone and email.

Can I get a free resume critique?

​Yes, you can receive a free resume critique from Resume Phenom LLC by simply emailing your most recent resume to the following address: [email protected]  Also, be sure to indicate what types of jobs you would most likely apply to with a new resume. Once the information is received, Mr. Munger will review everything and get back to you with constructive feedback and an exact quote for services.

Can a resume writing service offer a 100% guarantee on getting a job?

While a newly created résumé from Resume Phenom is sure to increase your chances of becoming employed, there is not a 100% guarantee of a new job.  Like they say, the only guarantees in life are death and taxes!  Be very leary of any résumé writing service/company that provides you with a 100% guarantee on obtaining a job or interview. Your resume writer has ZERO control of the actions of your prospective employer, so a guaranteed job offer or interview will NEVER be offered by Resume Phenom LLC.​

What is the turnaround time for a new resume?​

​The average turnaround time for a new resume from Resume Phenom LLC is 3-5 business days, however, if you have a RUSH project, schedules can be adjusted accordingly. In some instances, there may be an additional cost for RUSH services that offer a turnaround time of less than 24 hours.
​

Does Resume Phenom LLC offer better quality and pricing than ResumeSpice?

​As the owner of Resume Phenom LLC (www.resumephenom.com), I am always seeking ways to secure new business by simply promoting my own credentials. I try to stay away from going after the competition. I like the idea of promoting myself more than criticizing somebody else, HOWEVER, for the sake of comparison, I will briefly review how Resume Phenom LLC stacks up against a very popular resume writing service provider by the name of ResumeSpice.

I have been asked what makes Resume Phenom LLC so different than ResumeSpice. Well, one of the main differences is price. For example, my entry-level rate is $115 for a client with 0-2 years of professional work experience. On the ResumeSpice website, the rate for the same type of client is listed as $479. YIKES!

I would never even think of charging a young adult nearly $500 if he barely even has any work experience or college degrees to showcase. Most young adults in that situation can not afford a $500 resume. They can barely afford a $115 resume.

So here is the question.
Do you receive better quality with ResumeSpice since it costs $360 more than Resume Phenom LLC?
The answer to that question is HIGHLY DOUBTFUL!

I say this because I have nearly 20 years of resume writing experience and have helped thousands of clients throughout the years, all the while compiling nearly 300 5-start reviews online (currently 220 5-star reviews on Google).

The owners of this business may possibly match the skillset of Brian Munger in resume writing, but are they the ones writing your $500 resume?

Probably not! You actually might be spending $500 for a NEW writer to work on your resume. Please refer to some of the testimonials below that were published by former customers of ResumeSpice. 

One of the clients stated that the resume writer they were working was only 22 years old!!

Another client stated that the resume writer was formerly a Kindergarten teacher that had just barely entered the world of resume writing.

GOOGLE REVIEW ON RESUMESPICE
“I purchased the "executive" package, and they connected me with a 22-year-old with no life experience—she couldn't help me at all. She simply reworded my old résumé, adding no real value” – Shannon DeLoach

TRUSTPILOT REVIEW ON RESUMESPICE
“I can't fully recommend this company. While they helped somewhat, ultimately I feel like I wasted a lot of money on them. I paid out the very high price tag for their services given that I am a professional with many years of experience and they had great reviews. At first, I was assigned to a resume writer who seemed good. I felt their writing helped my resume, though the format they used was a bit antiquated looking. I did struggle with not feeling like there was enough time to talk with them about my experience and skills, which I think limited my resume, but I felt their writing was helpful. Then they got sick and mid-project, I was reassigned to a new writer who told me I had one version left and basically needed to finalize things - which I was unaware of. It was bad enough to be reassigned to a new writer mid-stream, but this new writer was awful - I was shocked by how terrible their writing was, they sounded like a child writing. So, I looked them up on LinkedIn and found out their "credentials" were a history as a kindergarten teacher. So basically, I paid hundreds of dollars to have my resume written by a kindergarten teacher (and their writing sounded like that). Unbelievable. And even worse, I had paid extra for the LinkedIn package which was assigned to this new writer. This kindergarten teacher basically copy/pasted my resume into LinkedIn and then wrote me this atrocious personal statement that sounded like something I would have written in high school.” – J M

So, would you rather pay Resume Phenom LLC $115 for a new resume?
Or would you rather pay $479 for a resume written by a new hire that has just barely entered the resume writing field?

And, yes, there is a likely chance that the resumes are reviewed by a senior writer at ResumeSpice, but even so, will that senior writer be able to see all of the information that was obtained originally? Will that writer learn of the exact conversation that the rookie writer had with the client? Likely not, unless the conversation was recorded. Will the senior writer spend the time to go through every single word of notes that was provided to the rookie writer? Possibly, but probably not. If the senior writer was making it a practice of completely overhauling a rookie writer’s resume, then there would be no point of even having the rookie writer to begin with. No time would be saved. Money would be wasted.

Again, I ask the question. Are you paying an extra $360 to receive a better quality resume?
Or, are you just paying an extra $360 to cover the overhead expenses?

Remember that Mr. Munger is a one-man operation. There are no employees or contractors to pay. Besides Munger, himself, there are no mouths to feed at Resume Phenom LLC.

 According to the website of ResumeSpice, there are three main leaders, which include a Co-Founder, a CEO/Co-Founder, and a Head of Operations. 

So, for every resume purchase, money has to be split among these three company heads as well as the assigned resume writer (which might be a young 22-year-old or a kindergarten teacher). Funds also have to cover high marketing and advertising costs. 

So, considering all of the above mentioned information, it seems to be the wise and economical choice to select Resume Phenom LLC as your preferred resume writing service.

If you need assistance, call me at 321-972-4205.

Who is the best resume writer in the United States?

What is the highest rated resume builder?

Based on published feedback from customers, which includes over 200 5-star reviews on Google, Resume Phenom LLC (www.resumephenom.com) can arguably be considered one of the top resume builders in the U.S.

Should I use columns in my resume?

​While the usage of columns in a resume may have visual appeal, it is generally not recommended. With columns, the resume may become distorted during resume parsing processes and ATS scans. A vertical, top to bottom layout is a safe alternative. Also, with column-style resumes, you run the risk of confusing the reader with so many different sections going left to right. When reading a document, many readers prefer to view sections top-to-bottom instead of side-to-side.

Is Brian Munger the only writer at Resume Phenom LLC?

Yes, Brian Munger is the only resume writer at Resume Phenom LLC. Munger takes extreme pride in his work and has yet to find another writer that he has 100% trust in to deliver the exact type of product that he believes his customers deserve. No resumes are outsourced to other writers.​

Who is the best resume writer from Vermont?

Brian Munger, the owner/operator of Resume Phenom LLC, is considered by many to be one of the best resume writers in the country. Munger actually works remotely from an office in the Orlando, FL area, but he is originally from Vermont, where he lived from 1976 to 1999. He headed to the state of Florida after earning his Bachelor's Degree in English from the University of Vermont. Munger has proudly assisted 5,000+ customers as a resume writer. He has been running Resume Phenom LLC (www.resumephenom.com) since the year 2011. Prior, Munger worked for a resume writing company in Orange County, Florida, where he earned his CPRW (Certified Professional Resume Writer) designation from the PARW (Professional Association of Resume Writers). Resume Phenom LLC has received over 220 5-star customer feedback ratings on Google. Notably, Munger has proven to be a writer for customers from all fields and industries, as his clients have included all levels, from 18-year-old high school graduates to highly accomplished CEO's.

Should my resume be one page or two pages?​

The answer to this question can be different from one person to another, as it often depends on how much relevant experience has been gained throughout the years. There are many factors to consider, including objective, years of experience, and notable accomplishments and skills.  I have created 2-page résumés for clients with only 10 years of experience. On the flip side, I have created 1-page résumés for clients with over 20 years of experience. You need to include the most noteworthy and relevant information on the résumé, and if that forces you to go to a second page, then go ahead and do so.  It is important that a 2-pager contain distinguished achievements instead of a laundry list of generic skills and traits.  There are no rules on page count, although, it is recommended that you do not go over 2 pages, especially if you have very little work experience and a limited skill set.
​

Should I include references in my resume?

​No, there is no need to include references in your resume. It is already assumed that you have references. Use that space on the resume for something that is more related to your objective. Ideally, you should create a separate document for references only, and have this document on hand during interviews. You can hand the interviewer this document before you leave his/her office.

Does Resume Phenom LLC require upfront payment?

Yes, upfront payment is required before any services are rendered from Resume Phenom LLC.
​​Prospective clients often ask why I require upfront payment before writing the résumé. It’s a very fair question and I have no issues in addressing it.  I determined that requiring upfront payment was the most appropriate policy to implement after examining two possible scenarios.
 
Scenario #1:
The client pays 100% upfront, but is not provided a résumé and/or the résumé does not meet the client’s approval.  In this case, the client would request a refund from the résumé writer. If by chance the client is denied the refund, the client then has the options of processing a credit card chargeback (which are very simple to do) to get his or her money back. Also, the client can respond to the poor results by writing and posting negative reviews about the business all over the Internet, which can be devastating for any small business.  With this in mind, you can rest assured that the writer will do everything he/she possibly can to meet customer expectations and maintain a positive reputation online.
 

Scenario #2:
The writer creates and provides the résumé to the client before accepting any payments. After receiving the résumé, the client suddenly “disappears” and never submits payment. The résumé writer attempts to contact the client to collect payment, but never receives any type of response.  In this situation, the writer has no “convenient” method of retrieving the money from the client.  One of the few options would be taking it to small claims court, but that would likely be more trouble than it’s worth.
 
Conclusion:
The writer takes more of a risk than the client if there is no upfront payment required for résumé writing services (in the humble opinion of Résumé Phenom LLC).

Q: What is the best resume writing service?

​A: Based on the amount of positive feedback from hundreds of users on Google, Facebook, and Yelp, Resume Phenom LLC (www.resumephenom.com) has attained a reputation as one of the best resume writing services in the United States. Brian Munger, who holds over 25 years of professional writing experience, is the owner of this business. Munger holds designation as a certified resume writer and has helped thousands of clients secure new jobs and careers. Aside from delivering top-quality resumes and providing excellent customer support, Resume Phenom LLC takes pride in being affordable. Clients with two years or less of work experience are only charged $115 for a new resume. Other resume providers such as ResumeSpice charge $479 for this type of client. Munger does not believe a college student with only 6 months of employment should be charged nearly $500 for a resume. Resume Phenom LLC believes in delivering quality, respect, and fairness to all customers.

What is the client success rate of Resume Phenom LLC?

There is not enough data to reveal an exact number, but it is estimated that over 95% of Resume Phenom's clients end up with successful results while using their newly created resume.  While there is no exact metric to share, I can tell you that many of my clients have reached out to me to share their successes after utilizing their new resumes to apply for a new position.  I am also receiving referrals on a continual basis, which is a strong indicator that clients are having good luck with the new resumes. Additionally, I would point out the 5-star rating on Google with over 225 reviews. With all of this said, I still have no idea what my exact client success rate is, but I would not even think about writing resumes another day if I were to find out that none of my clients were having any luck with the documents that I am creating for them!

Why not use a more familiar name instead of Resume Phenom LLC?

There are some very recognizable names out there that offer professional résumé writing services, however, you will more than likely be disappointed with the results.  Some people feel a sense of comfort when using a household name, but be warned, as there are many downsides to using a "résumé mill" to create your résumé, including the following:

-Large résumé mills and organizations employ countless writers and staff members, which means more overhead, translating to higher résumé writing rates to make up for this expense.  I am essentially a 1-man operation that works out of a home office, so I have no overhead or significant office expenses or leases to worry about, hence, I can afford to offer lower rates than a typical résumé mill.

-In addition to lower rates, I can offer higher quality.  You may think that these high-profile organizations only have the best of the best when it comes to selecting résumé writers, but truth be told, most of these companies contain MANY entry-level résumé writers.  Myself and many other resume writers all started at a résumé mill.  Once we got a couple of years under our belt to hone our skills and gain CPRW certification, we left the company and went on to work for ourselves.  This is the story for many résumé writers, so it is very possible that your writer at the résumé mill has barely begun the art of résumé writing.  All of the seasoned experts are running their own operation, not working for a "résumé factory."

-To continue with the issue of quality, it should also be known that a typical writer at a résumé mill is expected to churn out 2 to 4 résumés in an 8-hour span.  On top of that, they are doing revisions for previous clients that they wrote for.  And on top of that, they are doing revisions for the clients of writers that are no longer employed at the company.  Revisions alone can easily take up 3 to 4 hours of writer's day at a résumé mill, leaving minimal time to meet their "résumé quota."   I don't need to tell you what happens next, but I will, anyways.  A résumé writer that needs to meet a tight deadline will cut many corners and likely copy and paste most of your information from your original resume.  If not that, the writer may just simply miss your most noteworthy skills and highlights because the writer did not take enough time to read over and review all of your provided information.  As for Résumé Phenom LLC, I never write more than 2 résumés a day.  As far as revisions go, I'm the only writer here, so I'm not using any of my time to manage revisions of the clients of previous writers.

-To take the topic of quality one step further, you have to remember that large résumé mills, like any other business with multiple employees, will have staff that cut into their work times by chatting with co-workers, initiating water cooler talk, attending meetings, and taking long lunches and cigarette breaks.  At Résumé Phenom LLC, I have no water cooler, no co-workers, and no cigarettes.  Every project receives devoted, undivided attention from me, without disruption.
​

What if I don't agree with strategy of the new resume?

My clients consistently agree with the changes and enhancements that I deliver, however, once in a blue moon, I will have a client that does not see eye to eye with me.  Approximately 1 out of every 200 clients insists that I utilized the wrong strategy to create their résumé.  Yes, there is a saying that goes “the customer is always right,” but sometimes you have to make an exception to this phrase.

The strategies, formats, and wording that I use are proven to work.  Ultimately, the client has the final say on what stays on the résumé and what is deleted from the résumé.  Just keep in mind that if you are the 1 in 200 that has issues with the résumé, I am a Certified professional and have written SEVERAL more résumés than the average Joe.  I ask that you trust my judgement.  If my strategy does not work for the first couple of months, then contact me ASAP and we can take another route.  Give it a chance, though, and you most likely will not be sorry.

The following is a perfect example:  A couple months ago, I worked with this client and provided him a top-quality résumé that emphasized all of his key skills, credentials, and achievements.  Despite being given a stellar résumé, the client disagreed with the provided documents.  He was convinced that this new résumé would not garner phone calls from potential employers.  We then exchanged numerous emails, during which time I was able to convince him to stick with my résumé for at least a couple of months.  Here is the email I got from him last week:

“Hi Brian,
I think we both gave each other a hard time last year about my resume LOL. However, I'm happy to report that the resume you created was enough to get me an interview (out of 100 applicants) with a tech company in Atlanta. I went through a series of three interviews and was hired as the social media project manager. Thanks for your work and I hope your business continues to flourish.”
​

Q: Who is the best resume writer in California?

A: Brian Munger, CPRW, founder of Resume Phenom LLC (www.resumephenom.com), has assisted hundreds of clients from the state of California. These clients have represented such areas as Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, Oakland, Ventura, San Francisco, San Jose, Fresno, Escondido, Long Beach, and Stockton.

Does Resume Phenom offer assistance with revisions after the resume is emailed to the client?

Yes, free revisions/corrections are provided, free of charge, for 30 days after the resume is created. After that 30-day period is over, there is a charge of approximately $30-60 per update.
​

Don't you think you went overboard with your testimonials page?

As you may have noticed, I have included more testimonials than most other businesses online --- you could easily fill up nearly 20 pages if you were to copy and paste all of the client testimonials onto a Word document.  Some would say this is too much, but I say TOO LESS!  I take such great pride in every positive experience from my clients, that I don't want to leave anyone out!  Despite the fact that the average reader is not going to read every single testimonial, I will still be adding to this list on a continual basis.  Seeing this list grow everyday gives me even MORE incentive to excel in my field and exceed expectations.
​

Should my resume include information from the pre-1990's?

Yes! When you are providing your information to me, I want to see EVERYTHING that you have! There is no such thing as providing too much information. Normally, we don't want to list job dates in the 1980's; however, that doesn't mean we can't pick and choose some highlights from that time period to showcase on your résumé, especially if those highlights are relevant to your job objective.
​

Can I use a headshot on my resume?

In most cases, you should not include a personal photo of yourself on your resume.  Unless you are applying to be an actor/actress or a model, you should not be including your photo on your résumé. By posting your photo, you are possibly eliminating yourself based on appearance.  The person looking over your résumé may think you look too young, too old, too pretty, too fat, too skinny, too ugly, too white, too black, etc., etc., etc....  
You want to ensure that the only reason you were invited for an interview (or turned down) was because of your credentials and background.  With that said, if you are applying to a job in which you have no relevant skills, education, or traits, then adding a quality professional headshot to the resume may be worth the risk, especially if applying to a customer-facing position.
