Resume and CV writing services in New York

A CV is read twice: once by software scanning for the terms in the job advertisement, and once by a person who gives it well under a minute. What that person expects to see differs by market. In New York the convention is one page for most roles, no photograph, no personal details, ATS-first — and the employers doing most of the hiring are finance, media, publishing, law and a large nonprofit sector. We write for the parser and the reader at once, and to the convention your market actually uses.

What you receive

The handover

Finished files

Production-ready output in the format your printer, platform or workshop actually needs — press PDF, editable source, CAD file, font binary or deck, as the work requires.

Editable sources

The working files, not just the export, so your team can change the work later without coming back to us.

Full rights

Copyright transfers to you on final payment. Nothing we make for you is resold or reused elsewhere.

Two revision rounds

Included in the quoted price. Corrections are logged against the draft rather than argued over on a call.

How it works

Five steps, and you approve the first three

01 · Brief

You tell us what the finished thing has to do, and send whatever material you already have.

02 · Scope & price

A written scope, a fixed figure and a delivery date, usually within one working day.

03 · Structure

You sign off the architecture before production starts, so nothing large is built on a wrong assumption.

04 · Production

Work arrives in stages as it finishes, not all at the end, with two revision rounds included.

05 · Handover

Files, sources and rights in your hands, and the invoice closed.

In detail

Resume and CV writing — how we produce it

A single CV takes three to five working days. An executive package — CV, LinkedIn rewrite, cover letter and professional biography — runs seven to ten. You send the current document and two or three advertisements you are targeting, and the rewrite is built against those rather than against a generic template.

Because writers, translators and designers sit in the same building in Chennai, this can be commissioned with everything around it: a matched cover letter, the LinkedIn rewrite, a designed one-page profile, a professional biography, and translation into any of a hundred-plus languages for an application in another market. One schedule, one point of contact, one invoice.

Pricing is fixed in writing before work starts, quoted in US dollars or your local currency. One revision round is included on a single CV, two on the executive package. You receive editable Word and PDF, and the work is yours outright.

What a New York CV has to get right

Written to the convention recruiters in New York expect

Local format, not a generic one

The New York convention is one page for most roles, no photograph, no personal details, ATS-first. A CV that ignores it signals an outsider before a word is read.

The employers who are hiring

We align vocabulary and emphasis to the sectors that actually recruit here: finance, media, publishing, law and a large nonprofit sector.

Parsing before polish

Plain structure the applicant-tracking system can read, with the terms from your target advertisement placed where they count. We optimise for parsing and relevance; nobody can promise to beat every system.

Achievements with numbers

Duties are replaced by results — scope, scale, saving, timeframe — because that is what survives a thirty-second read.

LinkedIn and cover letter

A rewritten headline, About section and experience, plus a matched cover letter, so the whole application says the same thing.

English and English versions

Where the market needs it, matched versions in English, Spanish, written rather than translated. Calls run on ET.

You send the current CV and two or three target advertisements. We return the rewritten CV in editable Word and PDF, the cover letter and the LinkedIn text within three to five working days, with one revision round included. Quoted in USD or USD.

What kind of work you need

Five resume services from Content Factory, New York

Content Factory offers five separate resume services in New York — resume writing, resume rewriting and redesign, resume editing, resume review and ATS resume optimisation. Clients ask for them interchangeably, but they are five different amounts of work at five different prices, and which one you need depends on how much of your current document survives. We tell you which before quoting.

Resume writing, from scratch

For a first professional resume, or when the existing one is beyond repair. Content Factory interviews you, establishes the evidence and writes the document new. Three to five working days.

Resume rewriting and redesign

Your content, restructured and rewritten by our editors. Most Content Factory commissions are this: the material is already there, described in the weakest possible order. Three to five working days.

Resume editing

Line-level work by a Content Factory editor on a document whose structure is already sound — wording, tightening, consistency. Two to three working days and priced accordingly.

Resume review

A written Content Factory critique naming the three changes that matter most, with no rewriting. Useful if you would rather do the work yourself. Two working days.

Resume optimisation

Keyword alignment to two or three target advertisements, plus the parsing structure. Usually commissioned with a Content Factory rewrite rather than alone.

How ATS optimisation actually works

Resume consulting

A conversation with a Content Factory writer rather than a document: positioning, which roles to target, how to answer the difficult question. Charged by the hour.

Unsure which of the five you need? Send your current resume to Content Factory on WhatsApp and we will tell you, at no cost and with no obligation — and sometimes the answer is that it needs nothing. Every price is fixed in writing before work starts.

By seniority

Executive resume writing, Content Factory New York

Content Factory writes executive resumes for New York at every level of seniority — CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, director, senior manager and team lead. A recruiter screening manager applications and an executive search partner screening for a board-reporting role look for different evidence, so we write a different document for each. Scale and accountability matter more the further up you go; duties matter less.

CEO and managing director

P&L scale, board dimension, the pattern in your record — turnaround, scale-up, integration. Two pages, no exceptions.

CEO resume writing in detail

CFO and finance director

Capital raised, audit outcomes, controls remediation, close and forecast metrics. Audit committees read for risk before ambition.

CFO resume writing in detail

CTO, COO and VP level

Scale carried, reliability, teams built, and the two or three decisions that defined each platform or function.

CTO resume writing in detail

Director and senior manager

Content Factory states your scope plainly — budget, headcount, reporting lines — with outcomes rather than initiatives. Director level is the one most often written too modestly.

Manager and team lead

Team size, what you were accountable for and what measurably changed. New York hiring at manager level is numerically screened, so Content Factory writes it in numbers.

Leadership and board biography

Content Factory writes the third-person profile for board packs, investor decks and conference programmes, in three lengths.

Executive biography writing

Senior New York clients usually commission the complete Content Factory set rather than a single document, because search partners compare the resume, the LinkedIn profile and the board biography within a few minutes of each other — and any disagreement between them counts against you.

By sector

Industry-specific resume writing for New York

Content Factory writes industry-specific and role-specific resumes across every sector New York hires in. This is a finance, media, law and technology city, and each reads a resume differently — the same career described in the wrong sector vocabulary reads as an outsider, which is the fastest way to be screened out in a market this competitive. Our writers work to the vocabulary of the desk you are applying to.

Finance, banking and accounting

Deal sheet, book size or assets under management, licences and registrations, regulatory exposure. The five numbers a New York finance recruiter screens on.

Finance and banking resumes

Technology, software and data

Systems built and load carried, not a stack list. Production work separated from prototypes.

Technology and engineering resumes

Cybersecurity and cloud

Certifications with currency, frameworks worked to, environment scale, incidents handled. Declared as one discipline rather than three.

Cybersecurity resumes

Legal and in-house counsel

Bar admission and jurisdiction first, then practice areas ranked honestly, then the matter record with your precise role.

Legal resumes and CVs

Marketing, sales and business development

Quota and attainment by year, deal size, cycle length, territory and motion. Pipeline contribution rather than campaign activity.

Sales and marketing resumes

Media, film and creative

Portfolio link first and working, your role on each credit stated precisely, craft ahead of software.

Creative and design resumes

HR, consulting and project management

Population supported, retention and hiring metrics, engagement value and your role in it.

HR and consulting resumes

Healthcare, nursing and pharma

Licensure and registration before anything else, then specialty, acuity and patient ratio.

Nursing and healthcare resumes

Architecture, product and design

Registration status and project stages alongside the design record, because practices hire for delivery as well as concept.

Product management resumes

If your sector is not listed here it is still covered — these are simply the ones Content Factory is asked for most in New York. Send us the field and the target advertisement and you will have a fixed price the same working day.

By career stage

Resume writing for every career stage in New York

Content Factory writes for every career stage in New York — fresher and graduate resumes, internship applications, experienced professional resumes, career change resumes, career gap and return-to-work resumes, promotion resumes, founder and freelance resumes, remote job resumes and international relocation resumes. Where you are in a career changes the document more than which city you are in, so each of these is a different brief with a different price.

Fresher, graduate and student

Projects written as work with a result, skills that carry proof, education positioned properly. One page.

Graduate resume writing

Internship applications

The same discipline as a graduate resume, aimed at a specific programme, with the relevant coursework led rather than listed.

Graduate and internship resumes

Experienced professional

The reverse problem, and one Content Factory handles often: a long record compressed to two pages without losing what matters, with relevance ordered above recency inside each role.

Career change and pivot

The change stated in the first third, your record translated into the target industry’s language, and proof the move has already begun.

Career change resume writing

Career gap and return to work

One line in the chronology, normal dates throughout, currency demonstrated. Every concealment technique is recognised immediately.

Return-to-work resume writing

Promotion and internal application

Content Factory writes these for readers who already know you, which makes it a different document: it argues readiness for the next scope rather than restating the current one.

Freelance, startup and founder

The venture at real scale with the outcome named, and your day-to-day function separated from your founding status.

Founder resume writing

Remote and distributed roles

Remote experience named as such, time-zone overlap stated, and written work presented as evidence.

Remote job resume writing

International and relocation

Work authorisation stated near the top, employers and qualifications explained for a reader unfamiliar with your market.

International resume writing

Content Factory includes the cover letter with all of these, because the question the reader has — why this change, why the gap, why now — needs more room than a resume gives it.

Resume or CV

Resume writing and CV writing — Content Factory does both

Content Factory writes both — professional resumes and full academic, medical, research and engineering CVs for New York. In the United States a resume runs one or two pages while a CV is the complete record, and asking for a “CV” and receiving a two-page resume is a common and avoidable disappointment. We establish which document your employer actually wants before a word is written, and we will say so even when the answer is the cheaper one.

Academic and research CV

No page limit, nothing omitted, publications in your discipline’s citation style, funding as its own section.

Academic CV writing

Professor and faculty applications

The CV plus the research statement, teaching statement and a cover letter written to the specific department — all four must agree.

Faculty applications

Medical and doctor CV

Registration and licensure on page one, procedural log with supervision levels, audit with the loop closed.

Medical CV writing

Engineering CV

Chartered or PE status, codes and standards worked to, project value with your discipline scope.

Engineering CV writing

IT and software CV

Where a longer technical record is wanted, Content Factory supplies a separate project sheet carrying the depth.

Software engineer resumes

Data science and AI CV

Production work separated from notebook work, and research-track written differently from applied-track.

Data science resumes

For US applications the resume is right far more often than clients expect. Content Factory will tell you which you need before taking the work, even when it is the cheaper of the two.

ATS and applicant tracking

ATS resume optimisation from Content Factory

Content Factory provides ATS resume optimisation, ATS-friendly and ATS-compliant formatting, ATS keyword optimisation, ATS resume review and ATS-friendly CV preparation for New York applications. Employers at scale here all run applicant tracking systems, and most applications that vanish were not rejected — they parsed badly, landed in the database with an empty experience field, and never appeared in the search a recruiter ran. That is a formatting problem, and it is one we fix.

ATS-friendly and ATS-compliant formatting

Content Factory rebuilds the document single-column with standard headings, no text boxes, no tables used for layout and nothing critical in headers or footers. Two-column templates are the single commonest cause of a lost application.

ATS keyword optimisation

We take the terms from the advertisement itself and place both forms of each — Kubernetes and K8s are different tokens to a parser — where they read naturally.

ATS resume review

A written Content Factory report on what would parse, what would not, and which of your claims will survive a recruiter search.

ATS-friendly CV

The same discipline applied by Content Factory to a longer document, which is harder: academic and medical CVs carry structures parsers handle poorly.

Plain-text version

Content Factory supplies one for systems that strip formatting entirely, and for pasting into application forms without the layout collapsing.

What we will not claim

Content Factory will not promise a pass. There is no single ATS and no published scoring model, so any “98% ATS score” you are quoted is an invented number.

How ATS optimisation actually works

ATS optimisation is usually commissioned with a Content Factory rewrite, because a cleanly parsed weak document simply fails one stage later, in front of a person.

LinkedIn profile writing and optimisation, New York

Content Factory offers LinkedIn profile creation, LinkedIn profile writing, LinkedIn profile optimisation and the full LinkedIn profile makeover for New York professionals. All four serve one purpose: making the profile findable in recruiter search and credible once found. Recruiters here source heavily through LinkedIn, and a profile whose headline repeats the job title wastes the most heavily weighted field on the page.

LinkedIn profile creation

Content Factory builds the profile from nothing — for clients who have never had one, or whose profile is three lines and a photograph.

LinkedIn profile writing

Headline, About section, every experience entry and the skills order, written by Content Factory from your own material.

LinkedIn profile optimisation

The same writing, aimed by Content Factory at the terms recruiters in your New York sector actually search on.

LinkedIn profile makeover

The fuller Content Factory package: writing plus the Featured section, the skills order and a note on what to post.

Consistency with the resume

Content Factory keeps dates, titles and scope identical across both. Recruiters compare them, and a discrepancy is a standard screening flag.

Delivered as text, always

Content Factory delivers the text and you paste it in yourself. We never ask for your password, and you should refuse anyone who does.

LinkedIn profile writing in detail

Most New York clients take the LinkedIn profile together with the resume, since the two are read within minutes of each other. Content Factory writes both from one agreed position so they never contradict.

Yes. The local convention is one page for most roles, no photograph, no personal details, ATS-first, and we write to it rather than to a generic international template.

We structure it so parsers read it cleanly and align the wording to your target advertisement. No honest writer can guarantee every system, and we do not claim to.

Which sectors do you know in New York?

We align the CV to the employers doing the hiring here: finance, media, publishing, law and a large nonprofit sector.

Is LinkedIn included?

A rewritten headline, About section and experience come with the executive package, and can be added to any other.

How long does it take and what does it cost?

Three to five working days, quoted in USD or US dollars, with one revision round included.
