I was skeptical about this service but needed the assistance. I am switching careers and needed my cross over skills professionally written. I feel 50/50 about the service I received it had some great aspects and a few disappointments. I ordered 3 services resume, cover letter, and linkedIn. The base of the products I received made for a decent outline, helped highlight my crossover skills, and attributes.
The downfalls are false advertising with their turn around time and collaboration. They advertised unlimited communication which is misleading. You can only contact your writer via email and your writer is only required to respond once in a 24 hour period. My responses often didn't answer what I asked and often came a couple days later. I sent them information and that was about the end of "collaborating." They also advertise quick turn around with a three day time frame. My products often came days past the time frame with having had to call to check their status. I hired this company based on these services of "unlimited collaboration and quick turn around." Do to the many delays and late responses I missed applying for two jobs which led me to hire this company for their services in the first place. When I finally did receive my final products and forfeited their offer of "revisions" due to not wanting to be delayed by another week there were several grammatical and punctual errors. They were minor but frustrating for a professional writing service.
Overall the service was a good base and outline but not worth the $217 I paid for the 3 products. They did refund me $39 for one of the products due to my dissatisfaction. I feel their service could be improved by more honest turn around times and collaboration. If I had only paid $120-$140 for the 3 products I may have felt differently.
This was the first time I had tried a professional resume writing service, and honestly I was a bit skeptical. A lot of the services just seemed more designed to get you into other add-ons and services and pestered you incessantly for just visiting their site - but not this one. This one had a simple straight forward site with no outlandish claims and no pressure. It's rates were more expensive than many but appropriate to getting a few hours of a professionals time (what can people expect from the $49 sites?)
I asked a question on the site about the level of service most appropriate to my situation and got a fast response. I made my purchase, filled out a form, and uploaded previous resumes. The next day I was assigned a writer and 4 days after that I received my first draft. All I can say is WOW - it was very well done and truthful, yet managed to portray me so positively, that I never would have managed that on my own. We iterated over the next 4 days with a few tweaks and corrections (one cycle per day) and arrived at an end product I'm very impressed and extremely pleased with.
A few of my colleges were waiting for me to be a guinea pig on these services in general and this one in particular and I will be whole heartedly recommending this one to them.
It was difficult putting all my experience together and Dennis was amazing at capturing everything I tossed his way and making it sound amazing.
Did a great job on my resume and LinkedIn profile. Would recommend to anybody to do this. Gave me great perspective on my resume.
