Terms and Conditions

Thanks for choosing The Career Strategy Group as your career services partner. We are 100% committed to your success and will make every effort to ensure that you are satisfied during every step of our process, a process which has generated great results for many of our clients.

To ensure agreement between both parties, please read our ‘Terms and Conditions.’ Making a purchase from The Career Strategy Group serves as an acknowledgment that you have read, understood, and accepted our pricing, process, and terms and conditions.

RESUME WRITING PROJECT TIMELINE

Generally, within 24 hours of payment, you will receive a customized questionnaire and instructions on how to initiate your project. Once we receive the completed questionnaire and additional data, you will have a call with your writer. Upon completion of that intake call, your project is placed in the writing queue.

Depending on the writing schedule, standard turn-around time after that intake call is generally 10 business days. Of course, this time-frame is contingent upon the timely response to any follow-up questions or requests for additional information.

PROJECT DELAYS

Questionnaires not returned within 3 months are subject to a restart fee. All documents and services will be considered complete within 6 months of payment. Current pricing will apply to any project that was put “on hold” by the client. Prior payments will be credited toward new services.

PROOFREADING

You will receive detailed proofreading instructions with document delivery. You are asked to carefully review your document (or documents) for accuracy and completeness. Unless other arrangements are made, clients must submit revisions by phone or email within 7 days.

REVISIONS AND EDITS

All writing services include up to three rounds of revisions. Revisions do not include adding additional Information or any change in target. We are not responsible for incorporating new content into your resume or career documents as part of the revision process. Any revisions that will result in a significant departure from the original draft provided will be considered a new document and will incur additional fees.

FINALIZING PROJECT

To deliver completed documents within the standard delivery time, you will need to review all drafts, revisions, and final documents and notify us in a timely manner. Unless other arrangements are made, all documents are considered final 30 days after delivery.

The Career Strategy Group is not responsible for errors, inaccuracies, incorrect or misleading information that is not brought to our attention before the project is finalized.

CONFIDENTIALITY

Maintaining confidentiality is one of our highest priorities. All information shared on worksheets or phone consultations during, before, and after the project’s completion remains confidential. The Career Strategy Group does reserve the right to submit fictionalized resumes for contest, award, and publication purposes.

RELEASE FROM GUARANTEES
