Four situations. One of them is you.
Each one names the package and the price. New graduates, career changers, executives, and anyone months into a search that is not working.
I have nothing to put on a resume yet.
I do not know what roles I qualify for.
I can do the job. My documents do not say so.
I am not paying to guess again.
Hiring for a company instead? Outplacement Partner Plans start at $650 a seat.
Everyone says they write better resumes.
This is what better looks like.
A hiring manager gives you about thirty seconds to answer two questions. Where does this person sit in my org, and will they fix the problem I am hiring for? Every bullet we write is built to answer one of them.
Responsible for managing vendor relationships and overseeing the procurement process for the department.
Vendor Strategy: Renegotiated 3 supplier contracts covering $2.1M in annual spend, cutting cost 19% without changing vendors, and built the pricing model the category now runs on.
Why it works. The bolded label tells a scanning manager what kind of work this is before they read a word of it. The sentence then gives spend, result, and the thing that outlasted the project. That is a person who fixes a cost problem, not a person who attended vendor meetings.
Server at a local restaurant. Took orders, handled customer complaints, and trained new staff.
Client Engagement: Handled 60+ customer interactions per shift in a high-volume service environment, resolving escalations on the spot and onboarding 4 new hires through a shift-training routine still in use.
Why it works. Nothing was invented. Volume, escalation handling, and training were always there. Labelling it Client Engagement puts an entry-level candidate into a recognisable function, which is the only way a manager can place them on an org chart.
Led a cross-functional team responsible for the company's digital transformation initiative.
Enterprise Program Ownership: Owned a 22-person org and $4M budget through a platform migration that cut processing time 40%, from 20 days to 12, and absorbed two acquired business units without added headcount.
Why it works. At this level the reader is buying scope. Headcount and budget answer where you sit. A number with a baseline, plus the acquisitions absorbed, answers whether you solve the problem they actually have.
Every bullet in your documents is built this way, under a functional label, at the scope of the level you are targeting. Not a rewrite of your words. A rebuild against what the person reading it is deciding.

- 2,500+ direct placement decisions

I know exactly why good people
get passed over. I was in the room.
A resume gets about thirty seconds, and in that time the room is settling two questions: where does this person sit in my org, and will they fix the problem I am hiring for. Answer both on the page and you are in. Miss either one and nobody is ever allowed to tell you why.
For twelve years I sat on the hiring side of Fortune-ranked organizations and made that call roughly 2,500 times. What I kept seeing was the same small, fixable things costing strong candidates jobs they had already earned, and nobody on my side of the table is permitted to say so. That is the whole reason Legacy Careers exists.
Most resume services are writers who have never sat on a hiring panel. They can make a document look good. They cannot tell you why the last one got passed over, because they were never the person doing the passing.
So the judgment did not stay in one head. It was written down, and it became the standard every writer and coach here works to. No file leaves this firm until it has been reviewed against that standard by someone who has made hiring decisions.
Resume and coaching packages.
Know yours in under a minute.
Two things decide it. Documents only, or documents plus a coach. And manager level, or director and above. Find your row, read one card.

Answered before you ask.
The eight questions people ask most, answered in full. Everything else is on the services page.
How do I know which package to choose?
Use the package finder at the top of this page. Two questions, and it names your package and price. Or start with the $25 audit and a hiring executive will tell you which one fits.
I have been searching for months. Why would this be different?
Because you are probably fixing the wrong thing. A resume that reads well can still fail on targeting, and a strong background can still be invisible on LinkedIn. Start with the $25 audit and find out which of the three is actually costing you callbacks before you spend more than that. If you go on to buy a coaching package and the interviews still do not come, we keep working at no additional cost until they do.
What is the match report, and why does every package include it?
It is a written read of what your background actually qualifies you for: the titles to target, the ones that are a stretch, and where you are one skill or one certification short. Most people apply to the wrong level in both directions. The match report is how you stop guessing at job boards.
Why are your prices lower than other resume writers?
No agency layer. Mid-career resume writing commonly runs $350 to $700 and coaching packages run $1,500 to $5,000. Ours start at $149 and $549, built to a hiring-side standard rather than handed to a contractor pool.
How fast is turnaround?
Standard delivery is 3 to 4 business days from a completed intake, expedited is 1 to 2. Executive Portfolio ships in 3 business days. Resume Audits come back within 24 business hours.
What does unlimited edits actually cover?
Revisions to the documents in your package, for the target role you name at intake, inside your edit window. Not a different career track, not another person, and not after the window closes. Executive Portfolio carries 60 days instead of 30.
Do you guarantee interviews?
Every coaching package carries our interview guarantee. Apply to 25 relevant roles in sixty days with no interview, and we keep refining your resume, LinkedIn, and search strategy at no cost until you start landing them.
What happens in the first 24 hours after I buy?
An intake lands in your inbox the same day asking for your target role, the postings you are chasing, and anything you want reflected that is not already on the page. A few of the questions take some thinking, so give yourself twenty minutes. From there we handle the build and you get your documents inside the delivery window on your package. Coaching packages add a scheduling link for your sessions.
Still have a question?
Email us and a real person answers, usually the same day. Or book the $25 audit and get the answer plus a full read of your resume.
What clients actually got.
"Marlon shared with me that he has enjoyed working with you and appreciates the additional support."Anthony M. GrazianiExecutive Vice President · on a Legacy Careers outplacement engagement
"I was struggling to find a job due to my resume not standing out. Anthony worked with me to fix up my resume in just 30 minutes, and by the end of the week, I had a job."
"I was stagnant, excelling but never getting interviews elsewhere. Once I used this service that changed. My resume told a real story of what I actually did. I got a $20K salary bump."
"They were thorough in understanding my background and helped align my skills with the right opportunities, showcasing my strengths and tailoring it for specific industries."
Where our clients have landed
Clients have accepted roles at these organizations following a completed Legacy Careers engagement. Legacy Careers is an independent career services firm and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or a recruiting agent for any organization named. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

Read them all on GoogleOutplacement you can actually budget for.
Most providers make you file a purchase request every time somebody gets cut. Partner Plans invert that. Reserve a pool of seats each quarter at a fixed cost, send us whoever needs support, and we onboard them inside three business days. Every participant gets a career expert, not a portal login.
- Seats reset each quarter with no rollover. Executive-level seats count as two, and anything past your pool bills at $895.
- One named HR contact routes every referral through a single intake form. Nothing lands in your inbox.
- Three-business-day onboarding from referral, every time, with a utilization report at day 60 of each quarter.
- Twelve-month agreement, billed quarterly or monthly on an annual commitment.
- No retainer required: single seats are $1,495 and executive seats $3,900 if you would rather buy one at a time.
What it costs to protect your brand
Industry average outplacement runs near $1,900 per employee, and published programs from the major providers open at $2,400 for three months. Partner 30 delivers the same ninety-day scope at $650.
Career coaching built for thirty-plus markets.
Legacy Careers LLC is a Houston, Texas based resume writing and career coaching firm serving professionals in all 50 states. Services include professional resume writing, cover letters, LinkedIn profile rewrites, interview coaching, salary negotiation coaching, and corporate outplacement for organizations managing layoffs and reductions in force. Every document is built to answer the two questions a hiring manager settles in the first thirty seconds, where the candidate sits in the organization and whether they solve the problem being hired for, to a standard set by a hiring executive with 12+ years of Fortune 500 hiring-side experience and 2,500+ direct placement decisions, reviewed against that standard by someone who has made hiring calls, then checked against your target postings for ATS keyword coverage before delivery.
Resume packages start at $149 and coaching packages start at $549, with thirty days of unlimited edits on every package and a 60-day interview guarantee across all coaching. Employers reserve outplacement seats through quarterly Partner Plans starting at $650 per seat, well under the roughly $1,900 per-employee industry average. Whether you are early in your career in Houston, a manager chasing a director role in Dallas or Atlanta, or an executive working a competitive market in New York or Chicago, your documents are built around your city's employers, industries, and salary benchmarks. Energy companies in Houston do not evaluate candidates the way financial services firms in Charlotte or health systems in Nashville do, and your resume should not pretend otherwise.
