ALERT! TOTAL SCAM
August 11, 2020

This website is a total SCAM! Do not give them any money. I ordered the resume and cover letter package and they were supposed to give me my first draft the next week. IT TOOK 4 WEEKS! And the results? It was like a high schooler wrote my resume! It was beyond unprofessional. When there was a delay, I tried to call their customer service and request a refund! THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE! If you don't believe me, call before you order anything from them! This is the most stupid purchase I have ever done online and I feel Stupid! They are total cons and this website is a total fraud!

There were quite a few grammatical errors and typos that weren't worth going back-and-forth about so I just fix them myself. It's worth running it through an application like Grammarly to make sure you have everything right. I would definitely not send it out without a proofread.

Efficient timeline with the resume writer in creating an updated professional resume and cv. I'm extremely happy and confident that my expertise is now exemplified in my resume. I have been underselling myself with my resume for many years. Thank you so much for the excellent service!

Buyer Beware
August 6, 2020

With the job market saturated with millions of unemployed Americans, I thought it would be time to have a professional review my resume since it has been some time since I have revamped my resume. I provided them my resume, cover letter, and completed the questionnaire of my accomplishments. I stressed that my resume mostly focused on what I did and not accomplished. I would like for it to focus on what my resume accomplished.

After waiting for about 10 days, I got back basically my own resume with the same content. They either swapped out a single verb or shuffled the same words around in a sentence - the end of the sentence to the beginning and beginning to the end. Besides giving me back my own resume with its same content but with a layout and format change, it was littered with proofreading errors. I showed a colleague of mine who recruits for IBM. He was in shock that this was a paid professional with these kind of errors. My last name and phone number were incorrect, but there were so many grammatical errors - missing commas, subject - verb tense agreements, and incorrect words such as using improvising instead of using improving. There were several sentences that just didn't make sense.

I immediately responded to the writer, it took him 5 days to respond back to my concerns and then asked me to provide a redline version of the draft. So I had to provide my professional writer a road map to all the mistakes. He responded that he would immediately make the necessary changes and address my concerns that none of the accomplishments that I provided to him were not used in my revised resume. I waited 2 weeks to get back the redline version I had already provided him and he swapped out some content that was from my original resume into the second draft that was not previously used.

I again responded as to what happened. What happened to my list of accomplishments? Why did this take 2 weeks to complete? My revised resume sounds the same with no added value. Its been crickets from the writer. Beware of them.

Beware
August 6, 2020

Top resume writers are not good resume writers. I had the worse experience with them not once but twice. They are not good at what they do and are very unprofessional. I had to instruct the writer on how to format and write my resume so I basically wrote it myself.

Couldn't be worse
August 2, 2020

The promise a re-write with a professional writer. They do not have professional writers. They hire people off the internet for $10-20 a piece, who copy and paste what they can find about your industry and give you back a ridiculous garbage of a resume. Sentences that don't make sense. Long, winding and repetitive. Unreadable. Stay away, do not waste your money, because there is no way you are getting a refund.

Sheldon did a great job!
June 23, 2020

I had been working for MANY years and wanted to update my resume to reflect my previous career but also focus on my most recent. There were several suggestions made to improve my resume. Even though I thought I did a good job writing my resume it pales in comparison to the final product. Well worth the investment and I HIGHLY recommend! You will not be disappointed!

I was very satisfied with the outcome. Karen was very helpful, she listened to what I wanted to accomplish and delivered in a timely manner. We only had one round of revisions. She created a brand new persona for me and made me relevant in today's market place. I already got 2 calls because of my new resume!
