Resume writing is one of the most crowded services on Fiverr, and one of the most polished at the top. That is good news for buyers. The challenge is not finding a competent writer, it is choosing one who understands your field and your level, and sharing your life story without handing over more personal data than necessary.
How much does a resume writer cost on Fiverr?
Across the 35 well-reviewed gigs (4.7 stars or better, 20+ reviews) on the first page of Fiverr’s resume writing category on September 29, 2026, the median starting price was $85 and the middle half ran from $50 to $125. The range ran from $15 to $210. These are starting prices of each gig’s cheapest package, not the cost of a full resume, cover letter and LinkedIn bundle.
| Checked on Sept 29, 2026 | Resume and LinkedIn writing |
|---|---|
| Median start | $85 |
| Middle 50% | $50 to $125 |
| Fastest typical delivery (starting package) | 2 days |
| Fiverr Pro gigs in sample | 11 of 35 (Pro median start $125) |
The $85 starting package usually buys a rewritten resume for one target role, delivered as DOCX and PDF with one or two revisions. Cover letters, LinkedIn rewrites and senior-level work push the price toward the top of the category’s typical $30 to $300 range.
| Tier | Typical price | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $30 to $90 | Resume rewrite or reformat, 1 target role, DOCX and PDF, 1 revision |
| Standard | $90 to $180 | Resume plus cover letter template, keyword matching to job ads, 2 revisions |
| Premium | $180 to $300 | Executive or career-change resume, cover letter, LinkedIn headline, About and experience sections, call or questionnaire |
On an $85 order, the Fiverr service fee (5.5% plus $3.50 under $200) brings checkout to $93.18 before tax. The fees guide has other examples. When you know your level and target role, compare resume writing packages on Fiverr Paid link.
Resume, CV or LinkedIn profile: which do you need?
Buy the document your target market expects, then add LinkedIn if recruiters in your field search there. Many gigs sell all three, and the wording differs by country.
| Document | Typical use | Usual length |
|---|---|---|
| Resume | US and Canadian private-sector jobs | 1-2 pages |
| CV | UK, Europe and most academic or medical roles | 2 pages, longer for academic CVs |
| LinkedIn profile | Recruiter search and networking in most white-collar fields | Headline, About section, experience entries |
If you are applying across countries, tell the writer. A US resume usually leaves out a photo and date of birth, while conventions elsewhere differ.
Marketplace or Fiverr Pro for resume writing?
The marketplace is the right starting point for most job seekers. 80% of the gigs we checked came from Top Rated sellers, so the quality floor on page one is unusually high.
Fiverr Pro fits executive, board or specialist technical roles where the writer needs to understand the industry. 11 of the 35 gigs in our sample were Pro, and their $125 median was only $40 above the overall median, so the step up is modest. Pro freelancers are evaluated by Fiverr’s experts, and eligible Pro orders come with a money-back satisfaction guarantee within 14 days of completion.
How do you read a resume writing gig before ordering?
Six checks before you order.
- Career level. Entry level, mid-career, executive and academic CVs are different jobs. Many gigs price by level; pick honestly.
- Target market. A US resume, a UK CV and a European CV follow different conventions on length and personal details. Pick a writer who knows yours.
- ATS-friendly layout. Standard headings, no key text in images or text boxes and a simple one or two column design.
- Files. An editable DOCX (or Google Doc) plus a PDF. A PDF-only or Canva-only delivery means paying again for every edit.
- What is included. Cover letter, LinkedIn sections and thank-you letters are often extras.
- Process. A questionnaire or short call gives better results than rewriting your old resume line by line.
What should you put in a resume writing brief?
Attach your current resume and paste this into the requirements. Replace your phone number, home address and any ID numbers with placeholders such as [PHONE]; Fiverr’s safety guidance advises against sharing those details in messages, and you can add them to the final file yourself.
- Target role titles and industry, plus two or three real job ads you plan to apply to
- Country or market you are applying in
- Your career story in five lines: where you started, where you are, where you want to go
- Top five achievements with numbers (revenue, savings, team size, time saved)
- Gaps, career changes or short roles and how you want them framed
- Skills, tools and certifications to highlight
- Preferred length and design (plain and conservative, or modern)
- Extras: cover letter, LinkedIn headline and About section
- Deadline, and the date of your first application
What are the red flags on resume writing gigs?
- Guaranteed interviews or “beat the ATS 100%” claims.
- Heavily designed templates with icons, photos and skill bars for a corporate application. They often read poorly in tracking systems.
- A writer who never asks about your achievements. You will get generic duties, not results.
- Requests for your full date of birth, ID number or bank details. None are needed to write a resume.
- Pressure to move the chat to WhatsApp before ordering. Fiverr only permits third-party tools after an order is placed.
Where do you find a good resume writer on Fiverr?
The shortlist on this page lists well-reviewed resume writing gigs from the same first-page check, with starting prices and delivery times as read on the stamped date. Message two writers with one of your target job ads and ask how they would position you. The one whose answer mentions your actual experience is usually the right hire. For a final polish, a proofreader is cheap insurance.
