Resume Writing Services
Resumes that open the right doors.
Professional resume writing for executives, career changers, and military veterans across the United States. ATS-optimized, recruiter-ready, and built around the wins your current resume is hiding.
Why this matters
Your resume has about seven seconds to earn the next conversation.
Recruiters scan. Applicant Tracking Systems parse. Hiring committees skim. A professionally written resume is engineered for all three — so the experience you actually have becomes the experience decision-makers act on.
The Vellian Group writes resumes for senior leaders, mid-career professionals, transitioning military, and career changers nationwide. Every engagement is led personally by Heather Joy Hill, a certified career coach with 16+ years of experience translating careers into language the market responds to.

Our process
A collaborative process, not a fill-in-the-blank form.
Every resume we write starts with a real conversation. We surface the decisions, outcomes, and quantified impact most resumes leave on the table — then translate them into language the right people respond to.
- Step 01
Discovery Call
A confidential 30-minute conversation to understand your target roles, timeline, and the story your career actually tells.
- Step 02
Strategy Intake
A structured intake surfaces the wins, decisions, and quantified impact most resumes leave on the table.
- Step 03
Draft & Revisions
First draft within 3 business days of the strategy call, once you've provided everything needed to get started, followed by two rounds of collaborative revisions until the language is unmistakably yours.
- Step 04
Launch Toolkit
Final ATS-friendly Word and PDF files, plus optional LinkedIn rewrite, cover letter, and interview-ready talking points.
Frequently asked questions
About professional resume writing.
How much do professional resume writing services cost?
Individual service packages range from $795 to $4,995, depending on career level and what you're looking for — for example, a standalone resume versus a full search toolkit with resume, LinkedIn rewrite, cover letter, and coaching. Pricing is confirmed after a free 30-minute discovery call so you only pay for what your search actually needs. Outplacement and corporate engagements are quoted separately — contact us for a custom proposal.
What is an ATS-optimized resume, and do I really need one?
Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) parse resumes before a recruiter ever sees them. An ATS-optimized resume uses clean structure, standard section headings, role-specific keywords, and accessible formatting so the system reads every accomplishment accurately. We build every resume to pass ATS parsing without sacrificing the executive presentation a human reader expects.
How long does the resume writing process take?
First drafts are typically delivered within 3 business days of the strategy call, once the client has provided everything needed to get started. Two rounds of revisions follow. Expedited turnaround is available when an offer, interview, or internal posting is on the clock.
Do you write resumes for military-to-civilian transitions?
Yes. Translating service into civilian executive language is a specialty. We work with officers, senior NCOs, and DoD professionals to surface leadership impact, decode acronyms, and position transferable skills for industry and federal contracting roles.
Will I get a LinkedIn profile rewrite too?
Most packages include a matched LinkedIn profile rewrite — headline, About, Experience, and keyword strategy — because recruiters cross-reference both. Standalone LinkedIn optimization is also available.
Do you work with clients outside Oregon?
Yes — The Vellian Group serves executives and professionals nationwide. Discovery calls, intakes, and revisions are handled by phone, video, and secure document exchange.
