“Seamless process”

Ellissa A.
7/27/24

I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume. I was worried that it would be difficult for my writer to create a cohesive whole, but Allen did a phenomenal job. Drafts were sent quickly, he was so communicative and helpful, and we completed the process by draft 2 and ahead of schedule. I highly recommend this service.

“Absolutely NOT worth the money”

Heather C.
11/24/24

Received the services I purchased in the correct timeline. However, the format was not compatible for Apple devices despite my requesting that a universal format be utilized. Most significantly, I've had very negative feedback from recruiters and hiring managers with the content of my new resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn page. Even people I've worked with say they don't adequately communicate my skills and experience. The company offers no way to request a partial or full refund or contact them in any way. I posted this review on other review sites as well. The company contacted me to correct the issues by assigning a different person to rewrite the documents. Having no trust in the value of wasting additional time and effort working with someone else utilizing the same methods as the first representative, I requested a refund. The company refused to refund my money. So, I've wasted time, money, and still have useless documents. Please don't utilize this organization.

I'm a marketer and writer but social marketing of myself to the new standards of hiring is something best left to the professionals. Invest in yourself in this instance!

I appreciate the assistance that the resume editor appointed to me. They took the time to create "drafts" where we were able to revisit and make adjustments as needed.

If you've never had a resume before than maybe this service would be helpful. My resume was not substantially changed from the original. The only thing that changed really was information was pulled and put into key accomplishment bullets after each position. The cover letter was pretty good and the opening resume summary wasn't bad, but not worth the price I paid. Same for the LinkedIn service. If you don't have a standard work history look elsewhere. I found VMock resume tool ($20) after I paid for the service and found that to be much more helpful for the price. Communication was horrible. After they get your money don't expect much in the way of letting you know what is going on. It took 4 days to receive edits that were submitted for the first revision. You only get 5 days for 2 revisions. There were many simple spelling and formatting errors that should have been caught by a "professional" resume service. Bottom line, for the money... look elsewhere. This "service" wasn't worth more than $50.

It is such a waste of time and money. They take your money try to had you over some crap resume with the take it or leave it attitude.

They provided me with a free critique of my resume, which I thought was fair, so I wanted to try a professional written resume.

I paid $189 for the resume service and interview guarantee in December 2015. Its been over 45 days and still don't have a final resume in my hand. Forget about the interview there is no guarantee you will get even the resume.

By the first draft I knew they are not good, but had already paid, so I tried to be nice and make the most of it. Just lowering my standards and trying to atleast get what they have to offer.

Plus all communication is on email only, phone would have speeded things, but sadly that was not an option. Imagine having to type all that you did not like about the resume, mistakes etc, If I knew before that I had to spend all that time I would have chosen to write resume by myself.

They claim they can be industry specific, but for any IT jobs they are no good.
Its just more fancy flowery language and who even cares about that in IT? I'm not applying to be a magazine or blog writer. A lot of it was so overblown I wasn't even comfortable claiming to be that kind of employee.

There is no way you can choose your resume template from a bunch on their website. You have to tell them I don't like this, send me something like... and then they send you something else... and so it goes.

I will stop my rant. But please don't BUY frustration for yourself. Try somewhere else or just take the free advice and DIY.
