The Let’s Eat, Grandma Difference
Here’s what sets us apart from budget resume services and resume builders:
Personal Consultation
Every package includes a personalized consultation for your writer to understand your unique background beyond just a worksheet – without a hidden additional fee.

While others write “one-size-fits-all” resumes, our writers are trained in customizing your documents to the job postings you want to target. This is essential to stand out from 250+ other applicants.
Highly Trained Writers
Budget services employ writers with minimal experience. All of our resume writers on our exclusive team have proven their superior writing ability by completing our rigorous vetting and training program.
Attentive Collaboration
Your writer is available for questions and feedback every step of the way. In addition to our 7-day revision period, you can email them directly at any time in the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Higher salary & less time job searching!
What is the resume writing process like?
Our highly personalized, custom-tailored process is what sets us apart from budget resume services. First, you’ll complete a questionnaire and schedule a phone consultation with a writer. In the consultation, your writer will learn about your background and come up with a targeted strategy. After the consultation, the writer will deliver the first drafts, and you’ll have 7 days to request up to 2 rounds of revisions to make sure we got it perfect.
You can see the process diagrammed out with our current estimated turnaround time here.
Why should I choose Let’s Eat, Grandma over its competition?

How long is your turnaround time? Can I get an expedited package?
Your exact time to final drafts depends on when you schedule your consultation with your writer and how many revisions you request. Currently, our personalized process takes up to 10 days until first drafts, followed by up to 7 additional days for 2 revision requests.
PLEASE READ: During holiday weeks, including Thanksgiving and Christmas, our resume writers have limited availability which may result in extra wait time. Higher demand options such as Premium Packages and our Premier Team upgrades may take even longer based on availability.

We have limited availability for expedited delivery for an added fee. If you would like a rush turnaround, please contact [email protected] to see if this is possible.
Do you work on Academic CVs or Federal Resumes?
Not at this time, unfortunately. Academic CVs and Federal Resumes have specific conventions that are different from the typical professional resumes that we specialize in.
Do you work with clients outside of the U.S.?
Yes! We work with clients anywhere in the world. Here are things non-U.S. clients need to know:
- Consultations outside of the U.S. will be held over video call to avoid international phone charges.
- International requirements for CVs/resumes can differ, so please check your region’s requirements before ordering one of our resumes. The resumes that we create:
- Do not include photos
- Do not include any personal demographic information such as marital status
- Use a maximum of 2 pages
How much should I spend on a resume service?
Imagine this. You just bought a cheap resume service from one of our competitors. Two days later, the document is quickly rushed over to you with typos, spelling mistakes, and font inconsistencies. To add insult to injury, your new resume is simply what your old resume looked like but simply rearranged with added fluff. Not only did you lose $200, but you need to rewrite your entire resume yourself (or pay for another service).
We’ve heard this story time and time again about cheap resume services, and this is why we believe that $400 – $800 is the optimal cost for a non-executive resume service. If you spend less than that, you run the risk of choosing a service that skimps on writer pay, and you end up with less attention than you deserve.
Remember: you get what you pay for. It’s okay to save on car insurance. But when it comes to giving your resume a facelift, it’s worth paying the extra few hundred dollars!

Working with a Resume Writer
How do I know if I need a professional resume writer?
If you’ve said or thought any of the following, you’d definitely benefit from working from a resume writer:
- "I want to do everything I can to stand out from the crowd in this competitive job market."
- "I haven’t touched my resume in years and don’t know what recruiters are looking for nowadays."
- "I can talk about my accomplishments but can’t translate them to paper."
- "I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished anything I could put on my resume."
- "I just can’t stand writing my resume!"
What sets you apart from other resume services?
A cheaper level of service won't help you land interviews. Here are three main things that set us apart from budget resume services:
#1) Thoughtful Individual Attention: We offer more touchpoints with your writer than any other major service in our category. With a built-in phone consultation, revision period, and the ability to communicate with your writer by email at any time, we go far beyond just a questionnaire to get to know you. Clients often tell us they’re blown away by their writer’s professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile.
#2) Highly Trained Writers: Budget services employ writers with minimal experience. Nearly all writers on our exclusive team have at least 5+ (and usually 10+) years of writing experience and complete rigorous testing and ongoing training.
#3) Unparalleled Customization: There is no "one-size-fits-all" resume– only targeted resumes land jobs. That’s why we have you send us actual job postings for us to customize your documents for. Our writers go through extensive training in analyzing job descriptions and incorporating the exact language that proves to recruiters you can do the specific job they’re hiring for.
Is hiring a resume writer really worth the cost?
Yes! Just like with any other professional service (tutoring, personal training, life coaching), this is an investment in a brighter future.
With a professionally written resume, you’ll land a new job faster. That means your investment will return a salary increase, months of free time returned to you, and potentially months of living expenses saved if you’re currently unemployed!
What qualifications do your resume writers have?
Our writers come from diverse and varied backgrounds. Nearly all have more than five years of experience and many have been writers for over 10 years. They must complete a rigorous technical resume writing test during their application process.
All writers complete a four-week onboarding and receive ongoing support that includes industry best practices and standards for effective resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn Profiles that are ATS-compliant and designed to be persuasive and compelling to hiring managers. Writers also receive guidance from an experienced LEG writer as a Mentor and from an Editor on all their client projects.
Our Writing Process
Will I be able to talk to my writer?
Yes! Every client schedules a 30-minute consultation with their writer. Your writer will also send you an introduction email a week before your consultation and from then on, you can communicate with them directly over email at any time.
Will my writer have experience working in my field?
While we cannot guarantee that your writer will have hands-on experience in your field, it is more than likely that they will have experience writing professional documents for positions like the ones you’re targeting. Our team has served hundreds, if not thousands, of clients in your industry, and your documents will benefit from all of that experience. We have countless resources available to our writers (including assistance from proofreaders and other writers) to ensure targeted, optimized documents every time.
There is a logic that is common to writing these documents across all industries: we must understand what your employers of interest are looking for in a candidate, and then represent you to be that perfect fit by speaking their language and giving them the keywords they’re looking for. Our writers are experts at this process.
How do you ensure the quality of my documents?
Each of our writers works with a Mentor and a senior-level Editor to ensure their work consistently meets our standards of content, phrasing, and design.
Our Services
Are your resumes optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)?
Yes! We incorporate keywords from the job descriptions you send and use simple but elegant ATS-compliant formatting to make sure those keywords scan properly. This ensures your resume is likely to come up when a recruiter searches for qualified resumes in their ATS and that recruiters can see your key qualifications when quickly skimming it.
It’s worth noting too, though, that Applicant Tracking Systems aren’t as big of a deal as you might have heard – there is a lot of misinformation out there about them. An ATS will almost never "auto-reject" a resume, and it is always up to the individual recruiter whether they read every resume or not. You can hear more in this episode of our Career Warrior Podcast.
Can you write me a general resume that will get me any kind of job?
Unfortunately, “one-size-fits-all” resumes do not land jobs. In the modern job market, only resumes that clearly showcase the qualifications for the specific job get called in for interviews. While we do tailor your documents to an overall industry (or several if you order additional versions of your resume or cover letter), it is also required for you to include at least two job postings that you’re interested in for us to target your documents towards.
We promise that doing this work of defining your job target before putting together your resume will help you see much better results!
Can you write me an infographic resume?
We can create for you a clean and creatively designed resume that matches your requests and passes through ATS systems. We do not, however, use infographics or images in our resumes.
Unorthodox resumes with non-traditional formatting are often appropriate and effective for creative fields, such as graphic design, or some small companies where they fit the company culture.
In any other situation, however, we don’t recommend infographic resumes. Our research has shown that recruiters prefer simple, easy-to-read resume design over out-of-the-box creativity – they just want to quickly see if you can do the job!
Ordering a Package
How much do your services cost?
You can view the starting prices of our base packages here – you can also upgrade with add-ons such as additional versions of your resume once you click into each package.
Can I read reviews?
Can I see samples of resumes you’ve produced?
Absolutely – scroll through a PDF of some successful resumes and cover letters here.
Do you have a satisfaction guarantee? What’s your refund policy?
Yes, we have a 60-day satisfaction guarantee that you can see here. Please note, though, that since job searching is a holistic process that involves much more than your resume, we do not guarantee interviews.
You can also see our refund/cancellation policy here – all refunds are subject to a 10% processing fee.

Customer Reviews
Read the client success stories that have earned us the title of Best Resume Writing Service of 2023:
"Since receiving my final documents I have had multiple interviews including one for the company of my dreams. In the event I get hired I will truly owe it all to Let's Eat, Grandma for giving me the biggest tool I need to score my dream job."
Andrew G., ordered Starter Package
"Excellent investment! I had 0 responses using my own resume. The resume from Let's Eat, Grandma accurately described my abilities, skills and education. I have applied to 7 jobs and have received 5 interview requests. Several of these companies are starting at much more than I thought I could command."
Jamie D., ordered Starter Package
"Brandy was a great collaborator! Prior to using Let's Eat Grandma, I had received no responses to the job applications I had submitted. Once using my new resume I quickly received 3 responses from recruiters at companies I applied at. One recruiter even complimented my resume! Very pleased with my experience."
Lily M., ordered Premium Package
"Let's Eat, Grandma was an invaluable tool in helping me acquire my first job outside of graduate school. My resume writer, David, did a great job in helping translate my academic background into an industry ready skillset appropriate for a resume. He was friendly and easy to talk to and knew the type of questions to ask me in order to draft my resume."
Robert W., ordered Starter Package
"Marissa L. totally rocked. I hadn't had to produce a resume or cover letter in almost 20 years and she condensed all my experience into a clear, cogent, document. What a fantastic writer! It would have taken me a month and now I feel like I'm a month ahead of schedule. Thanks y'all, I'll be back as soon as I need some more help!"
Justin L., ordered Starter Package
"I hadn't looked for a job in the last 10 years so I was a bit lost and overwhelmed. I didn't know how to organize all my experience and skills in a meaningful document. Tonyia helped me realize all the valuable skills that I acquired in the last 10 years. The resume provided is of very high quality and Tonyia was really listening and providing great value. I am sure that I will find a new job in no time."
Ana B., ordered Premium Package
"I found Let’s Eat, Grandma to be SO much more helpful than I imagined! I’ve been modifying/updating my resume for over 20 years, but it was great to have them help me understand the things that have changed, and what recruiters are currently looking for. Same with LinkedIn – my profile is so much better now, in ways I hadn’t anticipated! ...If you’re debating whether to sign up or not, I highly recommend it."
Lan E., ordered Premium Package
"I am in my early career looking to take on a more senior position... I'm so glad I picked Let's Eat, Grandma. Marissa L. is a very talented writer who described my work experience so eloquently while hitting all the keywords to make my resume and cover letter more attractive. She was very open to feedback and made sure all my edits were accounted for. I feel more confident applying for jobs, as these materials will give me a leg up in the hiring process. It's definitely worth the investment, no matter what stage of your career you're in!"
Sinai S., ordered Starter Package
"I am changing careers, so all the documents needed to be written from 'scratch' so to speak. Brandy wrote an outstanding Cover Letter, Resume, and LinkedIn Profile that encompassed all of my talents, skills, and strengths, while at the same time, incorporating me, my personality. There are no words to express how conscientious, thorough, and personable Brandy was. She was wonderful to work with and has written professional documents for me that have me excited to 'showcase' myself."
Karin E., ordered Premium Package
"While the cost was pricier than some competitors, it was worth it. I truly felt I was paired with a quality resume writing professional who sought to understand my profession, listened to my feedback and really improved upon it. As a result, I received a quality document. Additionally, LEG provided me with job aids to tips to use the resume for apply for different jobs."
Janet R., ordered Accelerated Package
"Reached out to get a comprehensive overhaul of my resume, something I'd been struggling with for quite a while. The initial questionnaire was very detailed and so was the follow-up with my resume writer, who had a draft ready but continued to ask questions. Was very responsive and engaged during the back-and-forth over revisions and now I have a very strong resume that should pass the ATS muster."
Munawar A., ordered Starter Package
"My writer (Brandy) provided a great deal of support and helped me with my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn. It's a service that is highly useful for me as a mid-career professional looking to improve my prospects in a challenging market. I would recommend it for those who are looking to get more out of their resume and turn it into something that sells your abilities and experience."
Michael M., ordered Premium Package
"Jenn is a saint! Her ability to create my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile that reflects my job skills as I transition careers is outstanding! She's really made this part of the journey of transitioning careers stress-free. I cannot thank her enough!"
Colleen W., ordered Premium Package
"Writing a resume is a specific skill set – one that I do not have, much like changing my car's windshield. Could I Google it and get a rough idea of how it's done, ending up with a subpar result? Of course. But why would I? LEG was fast, amazing at consolidating my mess of a job history into one concise page, plus a phenomenal cover letter and LinkedIn review. Worth EVERY penny."
Matthew H., ordered Accelerated Package
"I am an HR professional - accustomed to reviewing resumes and even giving tips to others. However, I came to a point where I recognized to get to the next level required a third party to get my resume and LinkedIn profile updated... I have gotten a number of recruiters reaching out since the review and resume update and to be honest I have not yet fully implemented the Linkedin suggestions so no doubt things can only get better!"
Lisa I., ordered Accelerated Package
"[David] took the time to get to know me and understand my work experience. As I'm transitioning into a new career, he was able to take my transferable skills and make them shine. Overall, I was pleased with his service and professionalism."
Daisy M., ordered Starter Package
"I've been wanting to change career paths for awhile now and haven't had much luck until I decided that maybe my resume is the problem. I went with Let's Eat, Grandma and had Tori as my writer. WOW I am so happy with my resume and cover letter and more importantly it landed me the position I've always wanted."
Seneta B., ordered Starter Package
