The Best Resume Writing Services in Singapore Helping Us Land Our Dream Jobs

  • Qualifications and Expertise. From our experience, a resume writer with a bachelor’s degree in English, creative writing, or journalism tends to be the most competent, so we checked if a resume writing company has a writer (or several) with that degree. That said, we know that having a certain degree doesn’t automatically mean they’re a great resume writer. So, we looked for other certifications; perhaps, they got certified by the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches, a US-based certification company.  Or maybe they don’t have certifications, but they have years of experience under their belt and several former clients willing to vouch for them.
  • Writing Process and Support. We like it if they at least ask for our input beforehand. The writer must also accept constructive criticism graciously and can revise the resume within a reasonable amount of time. If the resume writing company adds other forms of support, like job application and interview tips, then they get bonus points from us.
  • Personality. It’s important to have a resume writer with whom you can feel comfortable, which is why we choose companies with writers who are warm, kind, and friendly. We acknowledge our experience isn’t enough, so we also asked around, interviewing former clients about the personalities of their former resume writers.
  • Pricing. Normally, we’re not against services with high costs because we do believe that workers deserve to get paid well. But many people seeking resume writing services are unemployed, so it’s important for us that resume writing companies offer prices that are reasonable and affordable.
  • We prefer rates that go below S$200, but if a company offers something with a higher price tag, we’ll let it slide so long as they provide more value (e.g., maybe it’s a service package that includes training on how to ace interviews).

I understand the pain of job-hunting. After graduating from university, I was unemployed for several months because the job market was really competitive. I’ve heard that the market is even more competitive these days, so new graduates probably have it worse. 

If there’s one thing I learned from that time, it’s that an exemplary resume is a must. It lets you stand out from the rest, giving you more chances to land the jobs you’re eyeing.

Fortunately, there are many resume writers in Singapore who can help you craft a resume that will get the attention of the most prestigious employers. So far, here are the ones that my friends and I could wholeheartedly recommend.

ResumerWriter.SG caught my attention when I learned that many of their clients have landed jobs at prestigious companies like Google, P&G, and Mastercard. 

This is why I went with this company back in the day. I didn’t end up with any of these companies, but I did get a great job, so it’s still a win! 

Their CV writing packages are incredibly detailed and thorough. First, you’ll be assigned an experienced CV writer who’s going to look at your CV and totally overhaul it. Then, they’ll create a resume and a custom cover letter, both of which are tailored for every application you’re sending out. 

They even apply for jobs on your behalf, which is just so handy! 

If you pay for the more expensive packages, you’ll get even more benefits. For example, the Premium package includes a career coaching session, which will prepare you for the future. 

Meanwhile, the Ultimate package has everything that the lower tiers offer, but this time, their services are available for an unlimited time—that is, until you land a job. Talk about convenient! 

If you want to up your job-hunting game, you can avail even more of their services. For example, they can update your LinkedIn profile and provide you with email templates that you can use post-interview (e.g., asking for a status update). 

You can also learn how to negotiate your salary from any of their coaches, which is an essential skill, especially if you’re someone like me who’s meek when it comes to negotiation. 

I also really like that this company offers a guarantee just in case you’re not satisfied with their services. Depending on which service package you book, you can get up to 30 days of a money-back guarantee, which means if you don’t land a job using your new resume within 30 days, you can get a refund. 

The only outlier is the Ultimate package, which doesn’t provide a guarantee, but this package does give you unlimited access to their services.

Also, if you’re not sure if this is the company for you, you can book a confidential consultation, which will let you meet with one of their recruiters. This recruiter will analyse your CV and provide career guidance. This consultation is free of charge, so make good use of it!

The only major downside of this company is that their rates aren’t affordable; their cheapest option is way beyond S$200. That said, their services are amazing, and they do offer several other perks, so I say their pricing is ultimately worth it.

Pros

  • Detailed and thorough process
  • Several services and packages available
  • Each package has additional perks
  • Free confidential consultation

Cons

  • Higher rates

    Valuable guidance

    I engaged RW’s services and was fortunate to be assisted by the highly capable Declan Lee. I’m extremely satisfied with the final outcome of my resume, which Declan crafted with great attention to detail based on the inputs I provided. Beyond the resume, he offered valuable guidance on my career goals, helping me gain a much clearer perspective on the direction I should pursue. The LinkedIn profile update was also handled excellently. I highly recommend RW’s services to any job seeker looking for professional support in navigating their career journey.”

    Incredibly responsive and easy to work with

    I engaged ResumeWriter.SG on a friend’s recommendation, and I’m glad I did. Amy Scott, my assigned writer, was incredibly responsive and easy to work with throughout the process. She helped craft a clean, professional resume that clearly showcases my experience, and she also refreshed my LinkedIn profile for consistency. While I’ve only just started using the updated documents and haven’t landed interviews yet at the time of writing, I hope that the improvements will strengthen my applications moving forward. Thanks, Amy and team, for the great support!

    If you’re looking for a resume writing company that offers high-quality services at relatively affordable prices, then check out DyCareer Consultancy. 

    Their rates for resume writing services are below S$200, and it’s possible you can get an even lower rate if you’re a recent graduate with no experience! This is because the company prices their services depending on how many years of experience the client has. 

    A professional recruiter will write your resume here, which is great news because they know the right keywords that will attract other recruiters. If you’re not satisfied with your resume, don’t worry because they will grant unlimited revisions within 30 days. 

    If you get their more expensive service bundles, you can access more of their services. For example, they can help you prepare for a job interview or write you a cover letter (specific for one particular job or a general one—take your pick) so that you have more chances of getting the recruiter’s attention. 

    They can even optimise your LinkedIn and create a 4K design banner for that platform. 

    Another thing that this company’s former clients really like is the clear and consistent communication. You can contact your resume writer however you want—email, phone, or video call. 

    That said, I’ve heard that the writing services take a lot of time. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; after all, a high-quality resume that takes longer to write is definitely much better than a resume that was sloppily written in a rush. Still, the speed—or lack thereof—can be a hurdle, especially if you’re in a hurry. 

    Another downside is that refunds are not available here. Most of the former clients we talked to didn’t mind this because they were satisfied with the service in the end, but it’s still worth noting.

    Pros

    • Professional recruiter to write your resume
    • Wide variety of services
    • Clear and consistent communication
    • Affordable rates

    Cons

    • Refunds not available
    • Speed of the service can be improved

      Accommodating and very responsive

      Han is accommodating and very responsive, even late at night. I had my resume done with him about 1 month ago, and I needed an urgent amendment at night. He was willing to help out as well. I offered to pay extra, but he declined any fees. I am really appreciative of the services provided, the resume written was definitely good and professional.”

      Helpful and insightful

      I am a fresh graduate and was having some trouble with my resume. Purchased their service and worked with David. He gave me a lot of helpful advice and solutions that were really insightful and practical. Happy for all the support that I have received from him. It took me a while to get started on the revamp, but I am glad I went ahead with it.”

      I think ExcellenceResumes is aptly named. A proof of that excellence is the fact that many of their clients are now working in esteemed establishments and brands like Lenovo, OCBC, JP Morgan Chase and Co., DBS, and Marriott. 

      The main thing that people like about them is their personalised services. My friend told me that her resume writer’s confidence in her actually helped in the long run because it boosted her self-esteem. 

      Even after you’ve secured a job, your resume writer might still reach out to you, asking you how you’ve been and if everything is going great in your career. My friend and several other former clients shared that they like this because it makes them feel like the resume writers truly care.

      The service packages here are based on a client’s experience; for example, if you have less than five years of experience (mostly internships and short-term jobs), the Junior Career Level Package is for you. 

      Meanwhile, if you already have more than 5 or 10 years of experience, the Middle Career Level or the Senior Career Level might be apt. 

      No matter which one you choose, you can expect top-notch services all the same. This includes a polished resume, a persuasive cover letter to make you stand out from the competition, and an optimised LinkedIn profile that will attract the attention of other professionals within your field. 

      Sometimes, you can score other extras like an exclusive headhunters intro and career advice!

      Not sure if this is the company for you? No worries, you can just upload your resume through the website’s contact form, and the team will reply with a comprehensive (and confidential) analysis of it—free of charge, by the way. If you like the analysis, then you can book their services ASAP. 

      The rates here are moderately expensive. They’re in USD, which I think is strange since it’s a Singapore-based company. When converted to SGD, the prices breach the S$200 threshold, especially the ones for the service packages. 

      It’s a good thing that you can at least purchase their services a la carte; so, if you just need a new resume or a cover letter, you can just have that. 

      Pros

      • Personalized service
      • Several service packages cater to different clients
      • Other services available
      • Free resume analysis

      Cons

      • Moderately expensive rates

        Insightful guidance

        I had the pleasure of working with Fabien through NTU’s career coaching program, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the very first session, he dove deep into my background, helping me craft a resume that highlights my achievements instead of just listing responsibilities. His insights into LinkedIn—everything from headline optimization to engagement strategies—completely transformed my online presence. Although I haven’t started actively applying for jobs yet, what really set him apart was his interview tips and salary-negotiation guidance. Thanks to his advice, I feel equipped with clear talking points, strong counter-offer strategies, and the confidence to negotiate from day one. If you’re serious about leveling up your job search, resume, LinkedIn profile, and interview game, do yourself a favour and reach out to Fabien or visit ExcellenceResumes.com.”

        Outstanding service

        Using ExcellenceResumes has truly transformed my job search. I only wish I had started with their services sooner. Thanks to their expertise, receiving a steady stream of interview requests through LinkedIn, and securing interviews has become so much easier. Their resources have also helped me sharpen my interviewing and negotiating skills, leading to even better outcomes. The return on investment has been outstanding, and I’ve seen a significant shift in my career trajectory. If you’re in the market for a new job, I highly recommend ExcellenceResumes. Unlike traditional agencies, they empower you to create opportunities for yourself.”

        Services: Resume writing, cover letter, LinkedIn optimisation

        One look at WickedCV’s website showed me that this company likens their services to magic spells, which surprised me at first, but after hearing stories from their former clients, I realised they must be onto something. With many clients getting the job of their dreams, they might as well be doing magic! 

        This company is run by two women, Eunice Wang and Yvonne Du, with more than 15 years of experience working as advertisers and marketers for multi-million-dollar global brands, so it’s safe to assume they know what they’re doing. True enough, you’ll witness their expertise as soon as you book a service from them. 

        First, you’ll send your CV to them and answer a questionnaire so that they can understand what your goals are. 

        Then, they’ll schedule a call, which only lasts for an hour, but it doesn’t feel like it, considering how informative and thorough they are with the feedback. 

        Next, it’s time to write the new CV, and they can actually whip this out in three days! That sounds fast enough, but if you want it done under 48 hours, they’ll gladly do so, too (this does come with a fee). 

        But that’s not all! If you’re not impressed with the quality, you can request a revision or two. Either way, you’ll be getting the final CV, which is polished and ready to send out to recruiters.

        Aside from CV writing, this company offers other services that will improve your job-hunting chances. One popular service they offer is a LinkedIn makeover, which—you guessed it—overhauls your LinkedIn profile to make it more professional-looking. 

        They also write cover letters and professional bios.

        The only downside to this company is the prices. They’re really expensive, especially the packages. 

        We do think that their services are worth it, but I don’t think they’re accessible to everyone, especially the new graduates entering the job market for the first time. We feel like their services are best-suited for professionals who have years of experience and are looking for a better job opportunity. 

        Pros

        • Skilled and experienced writers
        • Thorough process
        • Can whip out a CV in three days (even under two!)
        • Other services available

        Cons

        • Really expensive prices

          Top-notch expertise and dedication

          I had an amazing experience with Eunice. She took the time to truly understand my needs, asking thoughtful questions and clarifying details to ensure she provided the best advice. Her insights were spot on, and she delivered them promptly and professionally. I especially appreciated the detailed notes she gave me on how to improve my LinkedIn and CV, which was practical and actionable. Eunice’s expertise and dedication made a real difference, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance!

          Expert, personalized career guidance

          Wicked CV exceeded my expectations, providing expert, personalized career guidance. I extend sincere appreciation to Eunice for her exceptional dedication. Her meticulous care and thorough analysis resulted in a precision-crafted CV, showcasing my skills, experience, and goals with remarkable clarity. Eunice’s unwavering commitment to detail, coupled with her genuine interest in understanding my professional aspirations, made all the difference. Her expertise empowered me to embark on my job search with confidence. I’m grateful to have discovered WickedCV. Their warm, precision-driven, and humane-centered solutions earn my highest recommendation!

          CareerSocious is an online company, which can both be a good thing and a bad thing. 

          The good thing is that everything is done online, so you can just contact your resume writer whenever you’re able, and they’ll just send back the new CV or resume via email. 

          The bad thing is that they don’t have a physical location, so you can’t have a face-to-face consultation with anyone. I personally don’t mind it, but I do know many people who like seeing the writers they’re working with in the flesh. It makes the experience more personal.

          They offer a wide variety of services, and resume writing is the most sought-after. Experts craft your resume to make sure that your achievements and skills are clearly showcased. 

          They also make sure to use optimised formatting so that the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that the company you’re applying for can read your resume without a hitch.

          Their services usually come in a bundle, and the prices are surprisingly affordable, considering just how much is packed in one package. The cheapest already includes a personalised consultation and a resume, all under S$200. 

          If you prefer the higher tiers, you can score even more perks, such as a cover letter and LinkedIn profile optimisation (or creation, if you don’t have one yet). 

          Oh, and they also have a financial assistance scheme. Specifically, they offer a 20% subsidy for Orange CHAS cardholders and 50% off for Blue CHAS and Public Assistance cardholders. This is such a sweet deal; they didn’t have to do this, but I appreciate it anyway.

          Pros

          • Operates online
          • Wide variety of services
          • Optimised formatting
          • Services come in bundles
          • Affordable prices
          • Financial assistance scheme available

          Cons

          • Doesn’t have a physical location

            Patient and professional

            CareerSocius has shown me nothing but patience and professionalism when I engaged them for their resume and LinkedIn write-up services. Due to COVID-19, I wasn’t doing too well and was trying to pivot into the IT sector but had no hands-on technical skills. With Bertrand’s help, I managed to incorporate my years of project management experience, and their accompanying soft skills, into my resume and have since found employment as an Accounts Manager / Consultant for an IT company. I’d personally highly recommend CareerSocius, and would honestly say that I would not have been considered for my current role without their assistance.”

            Boundlessly helpful

            CareerSocius is boundlessly helpful in conceptualizing your personal brand name and getting it formalized. I thought my resume and cover letter were already well-written and worded, but Bertrand has very astutely pointed out multiple areas of improvement as well as points in my resume to omit, in order to make it a lot more focused and improve readability for hirers and HR executives. Thank you, CareerSocius for helping me increase my marketability in this highly unforgiving job market!
