We have reworked our service levels and no longer offer a basic, formatting only service. This service has been absorbed into our new service levels but we do not offer it as a stand alone service. While many candidates simply suffer from format problems the service was not popular enough to survive the improvements we have made to our service. Our most popular service prior to our service improvement initiative was Service Level II, which is now called Professional Resume Architecture and is our current basic service.
