Pricing Invest in Your Career Identity, Not Just Documents
Transparent pricing for every career stage from quick optimization to complete transformation.
The Career Development Pricing Problem
Resume services charge $100-300 for template-based documents. You get prettier files. But no strategy. No career roadmap. No interview preparation. No understanding of your professional identity.
Career coaches charge $2,000-10,000+ for months of conversations. You get strategic guidance. But slow delivery. Enormous time commitment. Approach based on one coach’s individual experience, not research-backed methodology.
Traditional outplacement costs enterprises $3,000-10,000 per employee. Comprehensive but unscalable. Organizations can’t afford premium support for all transitioning employees.
XylaWorks delivers strategic depth at accessible pricing through AI efficiency + expert validation.
You get complete career identity development—not just documents. You get it in days, not months. You invest hundreds, not thousands. You receive research-backed guidance, not generic advice.
