Resume Builder – Monster

Our Verdict

Monster.com’s resume writing packages are expensive but may be worth it for individuals looking to optimize their resume with professional help. According to the company, their resume writers take about five days to deliver a highly customized and optimized resume that increases your chances of landing a job.

While there’s no money-back guarantee, Monster.com does offer a free revision. So, should you find issues or think the resume can be made even better, feel free to have them rewrite it.

It’s a good choice for those who aren’t great with words or unfamiliar with relevant keywords. But if you can write yourself, cheaper resume builder options have easy-to-use built-in templates.

Template Library

Since Monster.com doesn’t offer a resume builder, no templates are available. The professional resume writer will select a suitable template or create one from scratch according to your industry, experience, and target jobs/companies. You won’t get to choose a template yourself but rest assured that a sound choice will be made for you.

Customization Options

Monster.com’s resume writing package ensures full customization of the resume. The writers thoroughly review the candidate’s past, including education, experience, and extras. They also take into account your career goals. Based on this, they customize the resume to highlight your skills, knowledge, and qualities. You can request even more customization, if needed, after seeing the first draft.

Ease of Use

The website is pretty easy to use. The process of hiring their resume writing services is also straightforward. You’ll need to provide your email and billing address, then continue making the payment. Once you’ve paid, you’ll be asked to provide information and/or an existing resume. Since the resume is prepared by a professional, there’s not much work on the user’s part.

Additional Resources

Besides resume writing services, users can also get a cover letter written. The premium package also includes LinkedIn profile optimization.

There’s also a salary tool that helps determine the correct salary range according to job title and location.
