The Let's Eat, Grandma Difference
Here's what sets us apart from budget resume services and resume builders:
Personal Consultation
Every package includes a personalized consultation for your writer to understand your unique background beyond just a worksheet – without a hidden additional fee.
Targeted Writing
While others write "one-size-fits-all" resumes, our writers are trained in customizing your documents to the job postings you want to target. This is essential to stand out from 250+ other applicants.
Highly Trained Writers
Budget services employ writers with minimal experience. Nearly all writers on our exclusive team have at least 5+ (and usually 10+) years of writing experience and complete rigorous testing and ongoing training.
Attentive Collaboration
Your writer is available for questions and feedback every step of the way. In addition to our 7-day revision period, you can email them directly at any time in the process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the resume writing process like?
Once you purchase, you’ll fill out a questionnaire, upload your current resume and schedule a phone consultation with a writer. During the consultation, your friendly writer will get to know more about your job search goals and come up with a targeted strategy for your documents.
7 days after the consultation, you’ll receive first drafts of your documents. You’ll then have up to another 7 days to request 2 rounds of revisions to the documents.
You can see the timeline diagrammed out here.
Is hiring a resume writer really worth the cost?
Yes! Just like with any other professional service (tutoring, personal training, life coaching), this is an investment in a brighter future.
With a professionally written resume, you’ll land a new job faster. That means your investment will return a salary increase, months of free time returned to you, and potentially months of living expenses saved if you’re currently unemployed!
What sets you apart from other resume services?
Three main things set us apart:
#1: Thoughtful Individual Attention: We offer more touchpoints with your writer than any other major service in our category. With a required phone consultation, multiple revision periods, and the ability to communicate with your writer by email at any time, we go far beyond just a questionnaire to get to know you. Clients often tell us they’re blown away by their writer’s professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile.
#2: Unparalleled Customization: There is no “one-size-fits-all” resume– only targeted resumes land jobs. That’s why we have you send us actual job postings for us to customize your documents for. Our writers go through extensive training in analyzing job descriptions and incorporating the exact language that proves to recruiters you can do the specific job they’re hiring for.
#3: Conscientious Follow-Up: We’re honest about this – job searching is a difficult, holistic process, and a resume won’t get you hired on its own. That’s why we give every client a guide on tailoring and submitting their documents and a complimentary job search follow-up call to make sure you’re on the right track after working with us!
Will I be able to talk to my writer?
Yes! Every client schedules a 30-minute phone consultation with their writer. Your writer will also send you an introduction email shortly after your purchase and from then on, you can communicate with them directly over email at any time.
Are your resumes optimized for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)?
Yes! We incorporate keywords from the job descriptions you send and use simple but elegant ATS-compliant formatting to make sure those keywords scan properly. This ensures your resume is likely to come up when a recruiter searches for qualified resumes in their ATS and that recruiters can see your key qualifications when quickly skimming it.
It’s worth noting too, though, that Applicant Tracking Systems aren’t as big of a deal as you might have heard – there is a lot of misinformation out there about them. An ATS will almost never auto-reject a resume, and it is always up to the individual recruiter whether they read every resume or not. You can hear more in this episode of our Career Warrior Podcast.
Can I read reviews?
Can I see samples of resumes you’ve produced?
Absolutely – scroll through a PDF of some successful resumes and cover letters here.

"Since receiving my final documents I have had multiple interviews including one for the company of my dreams. In the event I get hired I will truly owe it all to Let's Eat, Grandma for giving me the biggest tool I need to score my dream job."
Andrew G., ordered Starter Package
"Excellent investment! I had 0 responses using my own resume. The resume from Let's Eat, Grandma accurately described my abilities, skills and education. I have applied to 7 jobs and have received 5 interview requests. Several of these companies are starting at much more than I thought I could command."
Jamie D., ordered Starter Package
"Brandy was a great collaborator! Prior to using Let's Eat Grandma, I had received no responses to the job applications I had submitted. Once using my new resume I quickly received 3 responses from recruiters at companies I applied at. One recruiter even complimented my resume! Very pleased with my experience."
Lily M., ordered Premium Package
"Let's Eat, Grandma was an invaluable tool in helping me acquire my first job outside of graduate school. My resume writer, David, did a great job in helping translate my academic background into an industry ready skillset appropriate for a resume. He was friendly and easy to talk to and knew the type of questions to ask me in order to draft my resume."
Robert W., ordered Starter Package
"Marissa L. totally rocked. I hadn't had to produce a resume or cover letter in almost 20 years and she condensed all my experience into a clear, cogent, document. What a fantastic writer! It would have taken me a month and now I feel like I'm a month ahead of schedule. Thanks y'all, I'll be back as soon as I need some more help!"
Justin L., ordered Starter Package
"I hadn't looked for a job in the last 10 years so I was a bit lost and overwhelmed. I didn't know how to organize all my experience and skills in a meaningful document. Tonyia helped me realize all the valuable skills that I acquired in the last 10 years. The resume provided is of very high quality and Tonyia was really listening and providing great value. I am sure that I will find a new job in no time."
Ana B., ordered Premium Package
"I found Let’s Eat, Grandma to be SO much more helpful than I imagined! I’ve been modifying/updating my resume for over 20 years, but it was great to have them help me understand the things that have changed, and what recruiters are currently looking for. Same with LinkedIn – my profile is so much better now, in ways I hadn’t anticipated! ...If you’re debating whether to sign up or not, I highly recommend it."
Lan E., ordered Premium Package
"I am in my early career looking to take on a more senior position... I'm so glad I picked Let's Eat, Grandma. Marissa L. is a very talented writer who described my work experience so eloquently while hitting all the keywords to make my resume and cover letter more attractive. She was very open to feedback and made sure all my edits were accounted for. I feel more confident applying for jobs, as these materials will give me a leg up in the hiring process. It's definitely worth the investment, no matter what stage of your career you're in!"
Sinai S., ordered Starter Package
"I am changing careers, so all the documents needed to be written from 'scratch' so to speak. Brandy wrote an outstanding Cover Letter, Resume, and LinkedIn Profile that encompassed all of my talents, skills, and strengths, while at the same time, incorporating me, my personality. There are no words to express how conscientious, thorough, and personable Brandy was. She was wonderful to work with and has written professional documents for me that have me excited to 'showcase' myself."
Karin E., ordered Premium Package
"While the cost was pricier than some competitors, it was worth it. I truly felt I was paired with a quality resume writing professional who sought to understand my profession, listened to my feedback and really improved upon it. As a result, I received a quality document. Additionally, LEG provided me with job aids to tips to use the resume for apply for different jobs."
Janet R., ordered Accelerated Package
"Reached out to get a comprehensive overhaul of my resume, something I'd been struggling with for quite a while. The initial questionnaire was very detailed and so was the follow-up with my resume writer, who had a draft ready but continued to ask questions. Was very responsive and engaged during the back-and-forth over revisions and now I have a very strong resume that should pass the ATS muster."
Munawar A., ordered Starter Package
"My writer (Brandy) provided a great deal of support and helped me with my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn. It's a service that is highly useful for me as a mid-career professional looking to improve my prospects in a challenging market. I would recommend it for those who are looking to get more out of their resume and turn it into something that sells your abilities and experience."
Michael M., ordered Premium Package
"Jenn is a saint! Her ability to create my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile that reflects my job skills as I transition careers is outstanding! She's really made this part of the journey of transitioning careers stress-free. I cannot thank her enough!"
Colleen W., ordered Premium Package
"Writing a resume is a specific skill set – one that I do not have, much like changing my car's windshield. Could I Google it and get a rough idea of how it's done, ending up with a subpar result? Of course. But why would I? LEG was fast, amazing at consolidating my mess of a job history into one concise page, plus a phenomenal cover letter and LinkedIn review. Worth EVERY penny."
Matthew H., ordered Accelerated Package
"I am an HR professional - accustomed to reviewing resumes and even giving tips to others. However, I came to a point where I recognized to get to the next level required a third party to get my resume and LinkedIn profile updated... I have gotten a number of recruiters reaching out since the review and resume update and to be honest I have not yet fully implemented the Linkedin suggestions so no doubt things can only get better!"
Lisa I., ordered Accelerated Package
"[David] took the time to get to know me and understand my work experience. As I'm transitioning into a new career, he was able to take my transferable skills and make them shine. Overall, I was pleased with his service and professionalism."
Daisy M., ordered Starter Package
"I've been wanting to change career paths for awhile now and haven't had much luck until I decided that maybe my resume is the problem. I went with Let's Eat, Grandma and had Tori as my writer. WOW I am so happy with my resume and cover letter and more importantly it landed me the position I've always wanted."
Seneta B., ordered Starter Package
