Client FAQ

What to expect when you work with APEX Career Services — how we start, timelines, coaching, and what keeps the process structured.

Getting Started

How do I get started?

Place your order through our Services page. After your purchase is processed, we’ll email next steps and gather the information needed to start your project.

Will we talk before writing begins?

Yes. Once we receive your requested information, we’ll review your goals and confirm direction. When a phone intake is part of your scope, we schedule it before drafting begins so the strategy is clear.

Is your work outsourced?

No. Our resumes and documents are written in-house. We do not outsource writing to independent contractors.

Timelines & Delivery

When will I receive my first draft?

Draft timing depends on the service you purchased and how quickly intake is completed. The fastest outcomes happen when the target role is clear and intake details are submitted promptly.

Do you offer rush delivery?

Yes — rush service is offered. If you need an accelerated timeline, contact us before ordering so we can confirm the correct scope and delivery timing.

What usually causes delays?

The most common causes are incomplete intake details, unclear target roles, and delayed feedback. Clear targets + timely feedback keep everything moving.

Calls & Communication

Do I get a call with my service?

Some services include a phone intake and/or coaching. If you’re unsure what’s included, send a message and we’ll point you to the correct scope.

Can I add coaching?

Yes — additional coaching can be added based on availability. Sessions are structured around positioning, interviews, and next-step execution.

What’s the best way to reach you?

The contact form is the fastest. If it’s time-sensitive, call the toll-free number and leave a clear message with your name and what you need help with.

Deliverables

Deliverables depend on what you purchased. Typical outputs include:
  • ATS-optimized résumé aligned to target roles
  • Keyword alignment based on job postings (when provided)
  • Modern structure and impact-first achievement bullets
  • Optional add-ons: cover letter, LinkedIn profile, interview coaching
  • Final files delivered in standard formats (Word + PDF)
Do you apply to jobs for me?

No. We build the materials and strategy so you can compete at your target level — you control the applications and outreach.

Payments & Policies

What is your payment policy?

100% payment is required up front and your payment must clear before we commence your consultation.

What is your refund policy?

All sales are final due to the time and effort we put into the service we provide.

Can I change services after ordering?

Sometimes. If you realize you need a different scope, message us as soon as possible. We’ll confirm the best path based on timing and work already started.
