Each project starts with an interview to set the objective and due dates so that I can build a project plan and timeline to meet your requirements. Once approved, the editing/writing process follows four phases: Discovery, Development, Review and Approval.  During all phases, you can expect regular project status reports. 

For resume and cover letter services, there's a second interview once the project plan is approved. This interview is focused on you. I will gather your professional background, experiences and skills to develop a resume that highlights what you bring to an organization.
