How it works

How does getting a resume written over the phone work?

Simple: you talk, we type. The whole thing takes one phone call, and you never have to touch a computer, create an account, or fill out a single form.

Call us

Dial (575) 737-8637 — that's 575-RESUMES. Tell us what kind of job you're going after. Asking questions is free.

We talk through your work history

We ask the questions and write everything down. Old jobs, dates, skills, training — if you don't remember it exactly, that's fine. This is what we do all day.

Your finished resume arrives

Usually within 24–48 hours. Clean, professional, and ready to hand to an employer — no typing, no software, no wrestling with a computer on your end.

Can you write me a “generic resume” I can use for any job?

No — and anyone who sells you one is wasting your money. A resume that tries to fit every job fits none of them. Employers hire for a specific job, and a good resume is aimed at that kind of work: the words, the skills up top, and the experience we emphasize all depend on what you're applying for. That is why every resume we write starts with one question: what kind of job are you going after?

So before you call, it helps to know the kind of work you're looking for — truck driving, nursing, warehouse, retail, whatever it is. You don't need a specific job posting picked out, and you don't need to have it all figured out. But if you truly don't know what kind of job you want yet, we're not the right call yet. Sort that out first, then call us — and we'll be glad to write the resume that gets you that job. We'd rather tell you that honestly than take your money for a resume that can't help you.

Same rule for cover letters: we only write one when you know the specific position you're applying for, because we target each letter to that exact job. Call when you have the job in sight, and we'll aim your resume — or your letter — right at it.

Our specialty № 1 — Truck, bus & delivery drivers

Driver resumes are what we do

CDL truckers, school and city bus drivers, Amazon, UPS and FedEx drivers, local couriers — if you drive for a living, we've written your resume. Brand-new CDL school graduates and 30-year veterans alike; whatever your situation is, we've heard it before, probably this week.

What should a truck, bus, or delivery driver put on a resume?

Lead with your license and your safety record — that's what transportation employers hire on. Whether you run freight over the road, drive a school or city bus route, or deliver packages all day, your resume should open with your license class and endorsements, then your driving experience and equipment, then proof you're safe and dependable. The driving is the qualification; the resume just has to present it the way fleet managers and transit supervisors scan for it.

What goes on a driver's resume, in order:

  1. Your license first — CDL Class A or B, passenger (P) and school bus (S) endorsements, tanker, hazmat, doubles/triples. This goes at the top, where recruiters look first.
  2. The driving you've actually done — over-the-road, regional, or local routes; school or city bus routes; parcel and courier delivery. Miles, stops per day, and your on-time record all count.
  3. Equipment and vehicles — tractor-trailers, box trucks, school and transit buses, delivery vans, plus forklifts and pallet jacks if you load your own freight.
  4. Your safety record — clean MVR, accident-free years, pre-trip inspections, current DOT medical card. Bus drivers: student management and safety checks.
  5. New driver? Lead with your training — CDL school name and hours, backing and shifting practice, plus any driving-adjacent work: warehouse, farm or construction machinery, military vehicles. Fleets would rather hire a reliable new driver than a job-hopper with experience.

Been driving for years but never needed a resume until now? Same deal — we build yours around miles, routes, stops, and your safety record. Call (575) 737-8637 and talk it through with us. You drive; we type.

Our specialty № 2 — Nurses, CNAs & caregivers

Nursing and caregiver resumes, written by phone

RNs, LPNs, CNAs, and home health aides — new grads, travel nurses, caregivers, and nurses coming back after time away. We know what nurse managers scan for, and we know how to handle a gap without making it the whole story.

How do you write a nursing or caregiver resume that gets interviews?

Lead with your license and certifications, then your clinical skills, then your experience — and one honest line for any time away. Nurse managers and home-care agencies decide in seconds, so your credentials go at the top where they look first: an active license and certifications like BLS, a plain skills summary, then your work history framed for the job you want now. Returning after years away? The gap gets a single factual line — not an apology, not a cover story. That order is what turns a resume into interview calls.

What a nursing or caregiver resume should include:

  1. License and certifications up top — RN, LPN, CNA, or home health aide certification, state and status, plus BLS/ACLS and any specialty certs. If you're reactivating a license, we say so plainly.
  2. A clinical skills summary — the units and patient populations you've worked, charting systems (Epic, Cerner), meds, IVs, wound care. Caregivers: personal care, mobility help, meal prep, companionship — real skills, named as such.
  3. Experience framed for the job you want now — hospital, clinic, nursing home, home care, or private caregiving. Family caregiving counts too, and we know how to write it honestly.
  4. Any recent refresher work — refresher courses, CEUs, volunteer shifts, per-diem or agency shifts, even a few. It shows you're current and serious.
  5. One line for the gap years — "Family caregiving, 2021–2025" is a complete sentence. Then the resume moves on, and so does the reader.

New CNA with a fresh certificate and no job history yet? We build yours around your clinical rotations and training — that's exactly what employers expect to see. First-time caregiver? We organize your experience, paid or family, so it reads as the real work it is.

Our specialty № 3 — Warehouse, forklift & logistics

Warehouse resumes that list what actually matters

Forklift operators, pickers and packers, shipping and receiving clerks, shift leads. Warehouse hiring managers don't read essays — they scan for certifications, equipment, and numbers. We write resumes that scan right.

What do warehouse employers look for on a resume?

Certifications, equipment, and proof you can hit the numbers. A warehouse resume should lead with your forklift certification and the equipment you run, then the work itself — picking, packing, shipping, receiving, inventory — with any rates, volumes, or lead duties stated plainly. That's what a warehouse supervisor is hunting for, and most applicants bury it. We put it on top.

What goes on a warehouse resume:

  1. Forklift certification and equipment — sit-down, stand-up, reach truck, order picker, pallet jack — plus OSHA training or an OSHA 10/30 card if you have one.
  2. The core work, named clearly — pick/pack, shipping and receiving, loading and unloading, labeling, inventory and cycle counts.
  3. Systems you've used — RF scanners, warehouse management software, shipping software. Named systems beat vague "computer skills" every time.
  4. Numbers when you have them — units picked per hour, trucks loaded per shift, accuracy rates. Rough is fine; we help you estimate honestly on the phone.
  5. Lead or trainer duties — trained new hires, ran a shift, opened or closed the building. That's your path to the better-paying lead jobs.

Worked warehouse for years through staffing agencies and never kept track of it all? Normal — that's most of our warehouse callers. We sort it out with you on the phone, job by job. That's the whole point of doing this by conversation instead of a form.

Our specialty № 4 — Security guards

Security guard resumes, license up front

Licensed guards, patrol officers, gate and access-control staff, loss prevention. We've done a bunch of these — security companies hire constantly, and a clean, organized resume is how you move to the better posts and better pay.

How do you write a security guard resume?

Put your guard card and licenses first, then your posts and duties, then your record. Security employers check credentials before anything else, so your state guard card or license leads the resume, followed by the kinds of sites you've worked and what you actually did there — patrols, access control, monitoring, reports. A steady record stated plainly is what gets you the interview.

What goes on a security guard resume:

  1. Guard card and licenses at the top — state guard card or license and expiration, plus extras like CPR/first aid, baton or OC permits, or an armed license where it applies.
  2. Types of posts you've worked — office buildings, warehouses, retail, events, gated communities, hospitals, construction sites.
  3. The duties, said specifically — patrol rounds, access control and visitor check-in, camera monitoring, incident and shift reports, talking people down instead of escalating.
  4. Background that supports you — prior guard work, military, corrections, or loss prevention. A clean record, stated without overselling it.
  5. Reliability proof — held a post solo, trusted with keys and codes, never missed shifts. Supervisors hire guards for trust first.

First guard job and just got your card? Your resume leads with the license and your training, plus any work that shows you're calm and dependable. We write those every week — call and we'll build yours.

Our specialty № 5 — Bartenders, servers, retail & customer service

Yes, service jobs need resumes too

Bartenders, servers, cashiers, retail associates, customer service reps — we've done a lot of these over the years. The better bars, restaurants, and stores ask for a resume, and a good one is how you land the good shifts instead of the leftovers.

Do bartenders, servers, and retail workers need a resume?

Yes — for any service job worth having. The busy bar, the good restaurant, and the store that pays above minimum all ask for a resume, and they hire the person whose experience is organized on the page: the types of places they've worked, skills like high-volume service and point-of-sale systems, and a record of handling money and difficult customers. Walking in with a clean one-page resume puts you ahead of everyone who only filled out an application.

What goes on a bartender, server, or retail resume:

  1. The places, described right — high-volume bar, fine dining, family restaurant, big-box or specialty retail. The type of place tells a manager most of what they need to know.
  2. Your service skills, named — drink knowledge and speed for bartenders, section and POS experience for servers, registers, returns, and stocking for retail, phone work for customer service.
  3. Money and trust — cash handling, opening and closing, key-holder duties, counting the drawer, training new staff. Trusted is hireable.
  4. Customer service proof — regulars who request you, complaints you turned around, upsells and sales numbers if you have them.
  5. Any certifications — food handler card, alcohol service certification (TIPS or your state's equivalent), first aid.

Worked cash gigs, short stints, or places that have since closed? That's service-industry normal, and we know how to present it so it reads as experience — because it is. Call and tell us where you've worked; we'll make it look as good as it actually was.

Our specialty № 6 — Coming back to work

Returning to work after a long time away

Retired and coming back. Raised the kids. Got divorced and starting over. Put a hard chapter behind you. Everybody thinks their situation is the unusual one. It isn't — we've written this resume hundreds of times, and we'll write yours without a bit of judgment.

How do you explain a 10-year employment gap on a resume?

You state it in one short, honest line, and then you get on with showing you're ready to work now. A ten-year gap is explained, not hidden: "Raised family, 2016–2026," "Retired 2019, returning to work," "Family caregiving" — one line, no apology, no novel. Employers don't reject people for having a life. They reject resumes that look like they're hiding something. A clean, straightforward resume lets them see the worker, not the gap.

How we build a comeback resume:

  1. We lead with what you can do now — skills, experience, and strengths up front, before the dates ever come into it.
  2. The gap gets one honest line — whatever it was, said plainly. Retirement, parenting, caregiving, health, divorce, incarceration. We've heard every one, and we know how to phrase yours with dignity.
  3. Everything useful counts — volunteer work, church and community roles, freelance or cash work, caring for family, classes. A decade of life is not a decade of nothing, and we know how to show that.
  4. Recent proof of readiness goes high — anything current that shows you're ready to show up and work gets placed where an employer sees it first.
  5. No fabricating, ever — we never invent dates or jobs. Honesty reads as confidence, and it's the only way we work.

Whatever your story is, you will not shock us, and you will not be judged. This is the resume we are known for. If you've been putting it off because you don't know what to say about the last ten years — that's the whole reason to call. Talking it through is the job, and it's our job, not yours.

Talk through my situation — from $50

A different line of work? We still help.

Our specialties are drivers, nurses and caregivers, warehouse crews, security guards, bartenders and retail staff, and folks coming back to work — but if you work with your hands or on your feet, we can almost certainly write your resume too.

Pricing

What does it cost to have a resume written for you?

Resumes start at $50. What you pay depends on what the job pays — the price is based on the estimated salary of the job you're going after, on a simple sliding scale. No packages, no pressure, no surprises at the end. A cover letter or LinkedIn profile help is $50 each when you need them.

Our fairness promise: the price is based on the estimated salary of the job you're going after. I won't charge you $199 to chase a $40k job — that's not fair, and I'd rather earn your trust. The bigger the job, the more work the resume takes, so the price steps up with the pay — never more than the job can justify.

Professional Resume — Written With You by Phone

A full resume built from one conversation: your jobs, your skills, your training, presented the way employers want to see it. Delivered usually within 24–48 hours. No computer needed at any point.

$50 Job pays up to $99k/year
$100 Job pays $100k–$150k/year
$199 Job pays above $150k/year
from $50priced by the job's pay

Cover Letter

$50

We can only write a cover letter when you know the specific position you're applying for. There is no such thing as a generic cover letter that works — we target every letter to the exact job posting, the employer, and what they're asking for. If you have a specific job in sight, tell us when you call and we'll write a letter aimed right at it.

LinkedIn Profile Help

$50

We clean up your LinkedIn profile so it matches your new resume — same jobs, same skills, same story an employer sees when they look you up.

Questions

Questions everybody asks us

Can you write me a generic resume I can use for any job?

No — a generic resume doesn't work, and we won't sell you one. Employers hire for a specific job, so every resume we write is aimed at the kind of work you're applying for. You don't need a particular job posting picked out before you call, but you do need to know what kind of job you're going after. If you don't know yet, decide that first, then call us — we'll write the resume that fits the work you want.

Can you write me a cover letter?

Yes — $50 — but only when you know the specific position you're applying for. There is no generic cover letter that works; we target every letter to the exact job posting and employer. If you have a specific job in sight, have the posting handy when you call and we'll write a letter aimed right at it. Not applying anywhere specific yet? Get the resume first, and call us back when the right job turns up.

Do I need a computer to get my resume written?

No — and that's the whole point. Everything happens over the phone. You call us, we talk through your work history, and we write and type the resume for you while you talk. Your finished resume is sent to you, usually within 24–48 hours. If you don't own a computer and don't want one, you are exactly who this service is for.

How fast will I get my resume?

Usually within 24 to 48 hours after our phone call. If you're up against a job application deadline, tell us when you call and we'll do our best to meet it.

How do I pay?

It's simple, and it starts with a free phone call. Your resume is priced by the pay of the job you're after — $50, $100, or $199 on the sliding scale in the pricing section above — and a cover letter or LinkedIn profile help is $50 each. It costs nothing to call (575) 737-8637, explain your situation, and ask questions — and we'll walk you through the easy payment options right on the call. No online checkout, no accounts to create.

What if I need changes after I get my resume?

Call us back. If a date's wrong, a job title needs fixing, or you want a section aimed at a different job, we'll work with you to get it right. Our customers come back — and send their family members to us — because we treat people right.

Do you only help people in Los Angeles or California?

No. We work with clients in all 50 states, entirely over the phone. New Resume Today is based in Los Angeles, California, but a phone call works the same from anywhere. Our customers are truck, bus and delivery drivers, nurses, CNAs and caregivers, warehouse crews, security guards, bartenders and retail workers, and people returning to work — from coast to coast.

What should I have ready when I call?

Just yourself — and an answer to one question: what kind of job are you going after? Every resume we write is aimed at specific work, so you need to know the kind of job you're applying for (you don't need one particular posting picked out). Beyond that, if you can roughly remember the jobs you've had and about when you had them, that's plenty to start. Old resumes, certificates, or paperwork are helpful if you have them nearby, but they're not required. Asking the right questions is our job.

Your next job starts with one phone call.

Talk to a real person, get a real resume, and never touch a computer. Driver, nurse, warehouse worker, security guard, bartender — or coming back after a long break — we've written your resume before, and we'll write it with you.
