That doesn't mean that they're not getting business. Most resume writers -- even those that charge by the hour -- will provide a quote before starting a project.<br /><br />While many resume writers are moving to an "upfront" payment, there are still hundreds (thousands?) who work on a "quote/deposit/delivery & balance" system. This is particularly true for higher-end projects ($>600). <br /><br />Interestingly enough, when I ask on the annual survey, "What is your hourly rate?" I get a handful of responses that say, "I only quote by the project" or "I don't have one" -- but all the rest give me a dollar figure. <br /><br />Everyone has an hourly rate, whether you publicize it or not. It's the amount of money you make, divided by the hours you work.<br /><br />- BridgetBridget Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12303071890800411643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748554356315000507.post-32406675220553843272011-11-20T09:24:18.757-06:002011-11-20T09:24:18.757-06:00I don't know anyone who charges by the hour. A...I don't know anyone who charges by the hour. According to the 100's of resume writing websites I have seen over the years, everyone charges by product, not by time. If I tell you I am going to charge someone $100 an hour, how will you know how much you need to pay? Surely you will want to know whether you are going have to have $300 or $600 before you engage me. This is particularly the case for people out of work. <br /><br />I charge up front and so do most professional resume writers. I therefore have to charge according to the rproduct. My fees structure is $215, $350 and $495, ddepending on the seniority of the client.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
