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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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

Very disappointed with the service. I should have spent more money and gotten something decent from somewhere else. The formatting isn't even the same all the way through.

Really helpful review of problems, but not as many proposed solutions. I'm probably not going to buy unless I can see the solutions someone can come up with.

I explained my issue to no avail. All this company cared about was collecting my money not customer satisfaction. I had to redo it myself after paying $200

Good service but a bit pricey. They make it short and simple easy to understand for recruiters. They eliminate all the unecessary information from the resume

I went in with a decent resume that was getting me a fair amount of responses, but I thought that using a professional service could help step my game up since I had 1) just returned from taking a year off, 2) had changed careers 3) had been using the same format for about 10 years. The writer was very friendly and responsive, but I'm not sure they had any specific experience writing resumes for my field. The product ended up very keyword heavy and wasn't really my voice, but, like I said, I thought I needed a new voice to get the positions I was going after. 3 months later I can honestly say that my old resume was doing better by a lot. The time frame to work with someone is very small, and I think that was one of the biggest issues. You get a draft back, you have a day or two to review it, you get a draft back, a few more days, final draft. 10 day total process, so it's impossible to test whether or not it's a good product until you're completely out of the process. They even send you satisfaction surveys right after the process is complete, not even giving you a time to have your resume out in public for a week. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this service to anyone.

As I have paid for the 249 package, I tried to lower my standard and tried to be nice. However, after I claimed my concernt to my writer LIN about the format and a few points for my cover letter,
All they have done is just MOVE ONE PARAGRAPH FROM BOTTOM TO MID! And CHANGE ONE SENTENCES!

What is more, I tried to contact them on 23/02/2016, the writer LIN just said he has reported to the support team, and refuse to change my resume ever since, and I have never heard back from them yet till now 27/02/2016.

I have try all of their email, not reply what so ever. Only one thing is true, THEY ARE VERY BUSY! Dealing With Complains which they must get tones of them.
