Resume editing service for Canadian professionals.
Your resumé is close — it just is not working hard enough. Professional editing sharpens the language, strengthens the structure, converts duty lists into achievement statements, and makes sure the document clears ATS before it reaches a single recruiter. Human-edited. No AI. No templates.
Editing works when the foundation is already there. Rewriting is the right call when it is not.
The assessment is free — and it will tell you which path makes sense before you spend anything. Most people who think they need a full rewrite need a strong edit. Some people who think they need an edit actually need a rebuild. We will tell you honestly which applies.
Your resumé is recent and reflects your actual career — it just is not converting.
The content is there. The structure is broadly correct. The document is not embarrassing to send. But it is not landing interviews at the rate it should — and you can feel that something is off without being able to identify exactly what.
That is an editing problem. Sharper language, better-ordered priorities, duty lists converted to achievement statements, ATS keyword gaps closed. The document becomes the strongest version of what is already there.
The content is thin, outdated, or no longer reflects where you are trying to go.
If your resumé has not been meaningfully updated in several years, describes a career direction you have moved away from, or is missing significant experience you have accumulated — editing cannot fix that. A full rewrite is faster and more effective than trying to edit a document that needs to be rebuilt.
If the assessment points to a rewrite, our resumé writing packages start from $259 and include a complete rebuild, ATS testing, and one revision round.
Four situations where professional editing makes a direct difference.
Your resumé reads like a job description.
Duties and responsibilities with no outcomes or impact. Editing converts every task list into an accomplishment statement — specific, credible, and written to give a recruiter a reason to keep reading.
You are targeting a specific role and need a better fit.
Your base document is solid but needs to speak directly to a particular job or industry. Editing aligns your language, keywords, and emphasis to the role you are actually applying for.
You are not sure if it will clear ATS filters.
Every edited resumé is tested against ATS requirements before delivery. Keyword gaps, formatting issues, and structural problems that prevent the document from being parsed correctly are identified and fixed.
Your resumé is getting interviews but fewer than it should.
A lower interview rate than expected often means the document is technically passing ATS but not compelling enough in the human scan. Editing addresses both — the technical and the persuasive.
Four things included on every Sunrise resumé edit — no exceptions.
Full professional edit
Every section reviewed and tightened. Weak language replaced. Structure improved. Anything that does not earn its place removed. Written to the standards of an Editors Canada member team.
Outcomes and impact language
Duty lists converted into accomplishment statements throughout. Specific, credible, and written to reflect what you actually contributed — not what the job required.
ATS compatibility check
Tested against Applicant Tracking System requirements before delivery. Keyword gaps and formatting issues that prevent correct parsing are identified and corrected.

A cleaned-up resumé and a genuinely edited one are not the same thing.
Most people who edit their own resumés fix the obvious problems. A professional edit goes further.
Errors corrected, formatting tidied, language tightened throughout.
The document is clean, consistent, and free of the problems that would immediately flag it as unprofessional. A recruiter can read it without distraction. This is a meaningful improvement over a self-edited resumé — and it is where most editing services stop.
Every section reordered and rewritten so the most compelling information lands first.
A great edit does not just fix what is wrong — it makes strategic decisions about what should be prominent, what should be condensed, and what should be cut entirely. The first bullet under the most recent role becomes the strongest achievement for the target role, not the first one written when the job started. The summary is rewritten for where the candidate is going, not where they have been. The document reads differently — and performs differently — as a result.
