Frequently Asked Questions

What are the differences between your primary services?

The deliverables for our Top Professional Partnership include a captivating two-page resume along with a great Linkedin profile and an excellent cover letter.

Besides providing a tangible set of “deliverables,” we also conduct as many hours of in-depth information-gathering interviews as your campaign demands, plus we execute coaching and strategy sessions until you secure a working partnership that meets your objectives. Unlimited email and telephone support is a standard feature for this service program, and we provide unlimited revisions and editing cycles that progress until you are totally pleased with your suit of professional branding documents.

This working collaboration includes having your resume checked for matching compatibility percentages with an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) against a set of five job listings that catch your eye, then we adjust your resume to meet each of your job choices with an 80% or better matching percentage. Applicant tracking systems are software applications that screen incoming resumes by scanning these documents for designated key words. We call these campaigns where your resume’s performance is tested for its effectiveness against ATS screenings an “ATS Deep Dive” service.

The Apex Professional Collaboration is our flagship partnership; therefore, if this option suits your need, then working with you requires the highest level of attention to detail and the most frequent communication between you and your resume developer.

Every working partnership that we fulfill includes conducting as many hours of information-gathering interviews as your collaboration demands, and this partnership is no different. We also offer as much email support as you may need, and we conduct weekly coaching and strategy conferences.

The “deliverables’ for this service include a top-tier resume, a comprehensive and polished Linkedin profile, and an eye-grabbing cover letter. Like every working collaboration that we provide, this service includes unlimited document revisions that progress until you are totally happy with each personal-branding document in your suite.

This partnership includes our ATS “Deep Dive” service just like our other service campaigns.

If this partnership is the best match for you, then you have many achievements of note plus a host of performance metrics that are worth highlighting; therefore, gathering the data that we need to complete your campaign demands more time and energy than it would for less experienced professionals.

Understanding the different aspects and facets of high-level positions demands more time and work than the same process for less senior professionals, so this partnership will demand a higher price point.

Like the process of formulating a winning and impactful resume, a campaign that transforms your personal data and professional history into a Linkedin profile which genuinely reflects who you are also takes time, patience, and dedication; therefore, this collaboration is the longest and most exacting of our social media initiatives.

This partnership includes all our standard services, yet this collaboration also incorporates a proprietary job-search campaign which leverages artificial intelligence. This patented artificial intelligence software places you in personal contact with recruiters, C-level executive within your professional field, key hiring managers, and peers within your industry. This patented AI-powered networking application allows you to bypass the usual process of applying for jobs that are posted on the internet. This program typically progresses for three months.

Lastly, this program integrates a third-party service partner who reviews your final documents for spelling and grammar errors.

You receive a cover letter that is professional and effective. We create cover letters that clearly demonstrate your professionalism through an up-front focus on your skills and value that is supported by solid metrics.

You may be asking yourself if a cover letter is a sound investment. The answer to that question is yes because a solid cover letter boosts your odds of gaining an interview 10% every time you apply for a position.

Having a 10% better chance of earning an interview each time you submit your resume may not sound like much, yet that extra 10% gives you a crucial and needed edge when the competition is sharp.

A good cover letter makes your resume more competitive, so we encourage you to include this document every time you apply for a partnership which catches your eye.

Your final set of documents is engineered to open every door within your professional field, so it is very unlikely that you need more than one set of career transition documents.

If you are interested in applying for positions across very different fields, then we might need to design more than one set of documents for you. Your need for multiple suites of documents depends on the degree of difference between your fields of interest, so we evaluate your reasons for creating multiple sets of documents on a case-by-case basis.

Yes, for sure. When you partner with us you always get all of the coaching and moral support you need along with a winning suite of career transition documents.

Yes, we work with you until you find a job that you like.

The best way to begin your partnership with Viking Career Services is to send us an introductory message through our website’s contact page.

You can also contact us by calling the telephone number that we have posted on our website and leaving a voice message which includes your preferred contact telephone number or a good email address.

We prefer to handle payments by sending you an email message with a credit card invoice attached.

It may seem a bit dated, but we see no reason not to accept old-fashioned paper payment methods such as personal checks, money orders, traveler’s checks, and cashier’s checks. Old-fashioned paper payment methods can be sent to us through a conventional mail service such as FedEx or the United States Postal Service.

We are also happy to accept payment by any and all antediluvian paper methods including cash during in-person meetings.

Admittedly, not many clients choose to pay us by old methods because these options are a bit slow and clunky; none the less, some of our best clients pay us through old and uncommon channels without problems.

The option to pay by cryptocurrency will be coming soon — stay tuned.
