Speaker. Author. Entrepreneur. Believer.
My first and most prominent speaking experiences were and are in church. Throughout middle and high school, I held leadership positions that required me to speak, even closing that journey with my Salutatorian Address in front of hundreds of people at my high school graduation. God increased my platform even more in my collegiate years. During the summer of 2013, while I was interning at the Federal Reserve Bank, I had the chance to speak to a group of youth at a community center about banking, saving, and budgeting. I consider that my first official public speaking engagement. Since then, God has created space for me in many other capacities.
My voice is a gift and it's critical to my assignment. God has granted me widespread knowledge, expertise, and experiences to share with others. It was never for me but for those connected to me. I don't take it lightly.MEET TANISHA!

How much does a resume cost?
A resume costs $50.00.
How do I make an order?
Orders must be placed online here at www.tanishamanning.com under the tab "Services." You may email me at info@tanishamanning.com with any questions.
How do I pay?
You can pay online via PayPal at sales@tanishamanning.com or also through Cash App: $TanishaManning. Payment must be made first before I begin any work on your resume. Once you place an order, the site will guide you on the payment process.
How long will it take you to finish my resume?
There is a 7 day policy to complete your resume order. You may receive your resume in the evening on that 7th day after the order is placed because I also work full time which only allows me to edit resumes in the evenings and on weekends.
What if I really need my resume done quickly?
If you'd like an express order (24 - 48 hour turnaround), there is an additional $25 cost, which is a total of $75.
Do I need to already have a resume? I can't find mine or it's really old.
You don't have to have a resume already, although if you don't I'll still ask you to send over important information via email (or even text if that's easier). If you do have a resume (no matter how old) and you would rather send that over, that's fine too. Just add any current jobs, education, awards, etc. to the email for me to add to the new resume.
What do you do when editing my resume?
First, I review your resume and any comments or guidance you send based on your career journey and goals. A phone consultation is not always necessary but is available upon request. After asking a few questions via email or through a verbal conversation and discussing career goals and experiences, I begin working on your resume. I create my own resume templates and your resume will look completely different in design but content/wording will either be enhanced/edited or also completely revamped. You can view examples of my templates on my website as well.
I need a resume for a specific type of job. Can you do that?
If there is a specific industry/field you would like for me to tailor your resume to, you can let me know that as well, otherwise I can typically pick up on a theme or generalize your resume.
What if you completed my resume already but now I need new changes made?
I allow for two free edits after I send you the finalized copy. For all returning customers who need additional work done on their resume, it is a $10.00 fee that must be paid online. (I am always willing to work with you, especially if the changes are because of a mistake on my end).
What about cover letters? I need one of those too.
I do specialize in cover letters which are an additional $25. I can create a generalized letter for a specific industry or field or I can tailor a letter for one particular job. The same payment process is used as with resumes. Cover letters will be returned within 5 days but if you'd like an express order (24-48 hour turnaround), there is an additional $15 cost, which is a total of $40. I do require you to send me a copy of your resume for me to create a cover letter for you.
