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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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

Update: I was assigned a fourth writer (Lala) who delivered a very nice resume which I am using now. I have much more confidence in this resume than I did my own. This review started with 1 star, the final resume and customer service would rate a 5, so I've changed my star rating to a 3. My original review is below:

I received the first pass at my new resume within a few days. It was not a usable resume by any stretch of the imagination. My own resume, which I had sent them, wasn't bad and was getting me interviews, but I'd wondered how a professional resume writer might improve on it... So after receiving the one they sent me I sent it back with edits EVERYWHERE. I received a quick and very professional email from a Customer Service person assuring me that, through their "collaborative process", I would ultimately get the resume I want. Here's the message I sent back:

Hi Erica,

Thanks for the email. As for this being a "collaborative process"...

I was shocked by the completely unusable resume that I was sent. I was mostly hoping for keyword placement, but the only new words that might have been keywords were for skills I wouldn't possess given my specialization. Key information was eliminated, wording I'd used to emphasize my strengths was either eliminated or replaced with much weaker wording. Weird, useless words like "only" and "integral" were thrown in for no apparent reason. The bullets from my original resume that specified my experience was recycled so haphazardly that it made for a page of gibberish.

There was only one helpful thing in the new version, and that was a formatting suggestion with a clear rationale.

Please know that it took me TWO HOURS to go through the resume I was sent. I cannot afford to spend that kind of time on it again.

I don't think I have ever, in my whole life, received such laughably unprofessional service from any company of any kind.

If the next version of my resume doesn't begin to come close to something that improves on my original version I will insist on getting my money back. I can't waste the money any more than I can waste the time.
