CV/Resume Edit
My name is Dr. Robert Edinger (PHD Social Ethics, USC, 1995). I help applicants to graduate school in psychology from all over the world. I only do my best, taking the time to reflect on your story and do internet research on your behalf. My service is quite different from other statement writing services for admission applicants in psychology and counseling for several reasons. I am the little guy on the web, not a big business like most of my competitors. You deal directly with me and I answer all of your questions completely free of charge. I am solely responsible for helping you to produce a statement that will get you accepted to a master's or doctoral program. If you send me your information and I accept you as a new client, I will go to work on your material within 24 hours. I usually draft an introductory paragraph at no charge or obligation so as to give you a better idea of how I can help. Let's get started! Please note that the examples on the web site are anonymous and at least three years old at the time of posting. Newsletter
