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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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

Paid for my resume and cover letter on March 31. Today, 20 days later, I still have not seen a first draft. So disappointing. I will be reporting them and asking for my money back.

UPDATE: 4/20 About 10 minutes after this posted, received my resume in my inbox along with the cover letter I paid for 20 days ago. I am reviewing, but a first read-through seems to be ok. Nothing earth-shattering... pretty much the same resume I sent them - just regurgitated in a fresher format... but the change-up in formatting seems to be nice. I will update again after a more thorough review of both documents.

UPDATE #2:4/24 Finally got a chance to review the Resume they provided as well as the cover letter and felt that I should take the time to update this review. Here goes: So on first glance, their version of my resume is what I would call very visually appealing. Formatting is well done and the overall flow is not too busy. At first glance, it is probably a resume that a prospective employer would take the time to read. Unfortunately, that is where the appeal ends.

I am an accounting professional. I'm also a CPA. My resume and letter were prepared by a person who called herself Lakesha. Wording and grammar all very Jr-High. Although I can see that she attempted to put some thought in the effort, this person sadly knew nothing about my field and attempted to use buzz-words and catch-phrases that did not fit the accounting discipline. Unfortunately for both of us, she was out of her depth.

Definitely not a resume that I would feel comfortable sending to potential employers to inquire about a professional position. So very disappointing. I hate complaining. Would much rather write a victorious, successful, "nailed it" review like some that are posted here.

There is possibly salvageable material here... definitely the formatting and layout. Overall a bad purchase. I am not sure if I will even ask for a re-write. I am fairly certain that if I do, I will eventually have to do the bulk of the editing myself.

Tip for consumers:
Dont use this service
