GuidePricing
How much does an executive resume cost?
A transparent guide to what drives the price, level by level.
In short
At TalentScript Career Branding Agency, an executive resume is written inside the Core Documents package, which costs $70 at entry level and rises with seniority to $520 at board level, in US dollars. Director level costs $220, Vice President $330 and C-Suite $450. Prices rise because senior roles need deeper research and sharper positioning.
01Price by Level
What does an executive resume cost at each career level?
Every career level has its own price for each of our four packages. Core Documents is the package that contains your resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile content and executive biography. The other three build on it. All prices are in US dollars.

02What Drives the Price
What drives the cost of an executive resume?
Five things decide what a good executive resume costs. Understanding them makes it easier to compare any writer, including us.
01
Career level and scope
A board biography or a C-suite resume involves more complex achievements to structure clearly than an entry-level resume, and the reader expects more. Price rises with the depth of the work.
02
Research and discovery
Every document starts with a conversation about your career, goals and target roles, followed by research into the language and priorities of your field.
03
Strategy and positioning
Deciding how you should be positioned, and to whom, is most of the work. It is what separates a document that earns interviews from one that only lists duties.
04
What comes with the resume
Core Documents add a cover letter, LinkedIn profile content and an executive biography. Higher packages add a SWOT analysis, STAR stories, a portfolio website and interview coaching.
05
Review and refinement
You review everything, and we refine it until it is right. The finished files arrive in Word and PDF, ready to use.
03By Job Title
How much does a resume cost for a CFO, CTO, vice president of finance or board member?

- These are written at C-Suite level. Core Documents cost $450, Basic $660, Standard $980 and Premium $1,300.

06Frequently Asked
Common questions about resume pricing
Not necessarily. A low price tells you little on its own. What matters is what the price includes: how much the writer learns about your career, whether the document is written from scratch for your level, and whether your LinkedIn profile and biography tell the same story. Compare what is included, not only the number.
The smallest TalentScript package is Core Documents, which includes the resume, cover letter, LinkedIn profile content and executive biography, so your story is consistent everywhere it appears. [Confirm whether a resume-only option is offered.]
Basic includes everything in Core Documents plus a SWOT analysis and STAR career stories. The SWOT analysis is the strategy behind your documents, and the STAR stories prepare you for behavioral interview questions. At Director level, that is $340 for Basic against $220 for Core Documents.
Price follows your career level, not the direction of your move. A Director changing industries pays the Director level price. A career change usually needs more careful positioning, and the SWOT analysis in the Basic package and above is designed for exactly that.
Yes. Every TalentScript price is in US dollars. The payment method for your engagement is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Your level is based on the scope of the work you do, not only your job title. If your title does not map neatly onto the ten levels, book a consultation, describe your role and we will place you at the right level honestly.
