“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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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.

The accuracy was amazing. Even my closest friend just kept saying 'wow'. We were so surprised. Wished I could afford to pay them to rewrite it.

Purchased a resume review package plus a 48-hour rush service for over $200. They took my money and ran away with no work delivered or any response.

I think the rewrite of my resume and cover letter were done by a high school student trying to make some easy money on the side.

Was promised expert guidance, professional writing and insightful support. However, i ended up utterly disappointed with the aptitude and attitude of my designated resume writer.

First draft was shockingly poor... factual and grammatical errors, trite, generic phrasing, shallow understanding and assimilation of my work history, etc. I wondered whether he actually read my application and work history documents. Seemed like it was written by a kid just out of college who knew business buzz words but had never competed for or held an executive position.

Second draft was improved, but still lacked the sophistication to credibly represent decades of disjointed C-level work experience. So, i spent hours editing it myself and returned it to the writer for comments, changes and/or approval. I was then advised, in a condescending email that i'd used up my 7-day window and two draft limit and had to buy additional services to complete the project. I'd already bought their top of the line package to insure i'd be assigned one of their most senior writers and was frustrated and underwhelmed. No way i was throwing any more good money after bad. I emailed them my feedback and requested they reconsider, and they didn't even bother to respond.

In summary, the service may be ok for an inexperienced, young person searching for their first or second job. But, the writers, at least in my case, lacked the experience and writing skill to credibly present a senior level exec. And beware, despite the friendly sales pitch, you're on the clock and will be pressured to buy upgrades if you run over; even if it's due to their writers' negligence and you do their rewrite work for them. Great idea, persuasive pitch, piss poor execution.
