For more than 10 years I worked in the retail management field from store manager, to merchandise manager and finally an operations manager. The money was always good but the schedule was ever changing and always inconsistent. When I became pregnant with my second child my husband and I decided that I would stay home and we would make it work at least for two years. Fortunately, I was able to work from home PT during those years but when I was ready to come back to the work force I felt like I was at a disadvantage because I had 96 college credits but no degree and although I had administrative experience and other skills my resume screamed REATAIL! I decided that my Christmas present to myself was to seek professional advice from an experienced resume writer so I did the research, read all of the do's and don'ts and decided to go with Nina Ebert at A Word's Worth Resume Writing and Career Coaching Service in NJ. I knew when I made the phone call that she was the right person. She immediately wanted to know who I was, my career goals, past experience etc. It was very personal and I felt like she really wanted to create something that was indicative of who I was and what I could offer an employer; not just a factory made standard resume that could be anybody. As a matter of fact she even gave me homework to do and turn in before our first meeting. I have to say, at first her price was a little intimidating as I had never had a professional help me with a resume and cover letter in the past but I know that you get what you pay for and cheap is not always the way to go. I knew that to make the change I wanted to make in a successful way I had to invest in myself and I have NEVER regretted the investment. Nina was very professional and even offered advice for the interview process as well as suggestions for me on how to break into the business world through temping if I did not get the permanent opportunity I was looking for right away. After my resume was complete she made the adjustments that I asked about with no problem and she was always very timely. Nina's service was critical in allowing me to make the change I needed in my professional life and I tell people about her service all the time. Through the combination of her excellent resume and professional writing skills and my interview skills, professionalism and experience I began temping for the company I really wanted to work for on May 1, 2012 and on August 6th I was offered a permanent position at a competitive salary. If you are looking to make that change or need an upgrade and you are not sure where to begin, make the investment and choose Nina Ebert at A Word's Worth Resume Writing and Career Coaching Service. You will not regret making the choice. Nicole Bailey read more

Nina did a total rework of my not so professional patch-work resume this summer. Since then I have received, numerous comments back on how professional it looks and how well done it is. In my case, after 15 years of the same employment, I needed help trying to capture the essence of my experiences, who I was, and what I had done, and not have it spill out onto 5 or 6 pages. My experience was very different from the other reviewer. I drove 1.5 hours to meet Nina, and it was well worth it. Meeting face to face allowed her to be efficient with both our time. I rationalized it as an investment in myself and it saved me tons of time emailing and calling. I found her fees very reasonable for the quality of work she did. In fact she was cheaper then similar folks who were much closer to me. She was very accommodating of my revisions, and I'm more than happy with the work product. My final bill came in below the quoted price. Based on what I'm making and how long it would have taken me to write up something of similar quality. In my case it was money well spent and saved me money in the long run. I needed something that would impress a HR professional, and that's what I got. I guess the bottom line is this: with my old resume I had 2 or 3 calls and one interview. With the new resume I have new job and am still entertaining other offers on others I applied for. Mine was a very positive experience. If you need a very high quality resume this is one way to get it without spending days writing your own. It's a tough job market and every advantage helps. read more

I learned about Nina from a friend whom also liked her work. At the time I was transitioning from one career to another, really i had reinvented myself and needed my resume to make sense while highlighting my past accomplishments to bring experience to my new career choice. This is not easy! Nina made me a resume that within 1 week had me 4 interviews. Of course the person interviewing must give a great impression and so forth, but many people dont understand that your resume is not looked at by a person. It is viewed by the computer scanning for key words and so forth. Your resume can be sent to a recycle bin even though you may have excellent experience and are perfect for the job! My resume is perfect. Concise, to the point, highlighting every important detail.Nina has the experience to take a job and know the exact key words that are vital to a resume . I could have never done this myself and quite honestly thought my resume wasnt so bad, until I received Nina,s , A Word of Mouth , final copy. All I have to say is it is well worth it whether you are in a career for 30 yrs and need your resume updated , starting fresh out of school , or like me reinventing yourself in a new career. I have a great job now and was recently promoted ! I will definately have Nina update my resume when or if the time is right , but for now I am thrilled to have a great job and I owe a lot of that to Nina and my opportunity to get noticed directly because of my resume !! read more

My husband and I just relocated to another state and had to find new jobs. My husband was with the same company for 37 years before he had to retire, so going back out into the business world and having to do a resume was scary to him. I also had to start over. Nina was very helpful, kind and patient with us. She took the time to explain how things were done and what employers would look for. She basically brought us up to speed with this current job market. After interviewing both of us, we had our first resume drafts soon after. There were a few changes she happily made, and we went back and forth with it until it was just right. The finished product was very well done and Nina was always very professional. We are grateful for her knowledge and expertise. She would often give advice as to why she would and wouldn't word things a certain way . After she explained why, it all made sense to us. Had my husband and I tried to save money and write these ourselves it would not have turned out half as good. I landed the first job I applied for and my husband found his job after submitting his only 3 times! We are forever grateful for Nina and we highly recommend her! I would also appreciate if you didn't filter my review!!! Why should there be many good reviews but you only showcase the one bad one? I wrote this after the bad review and yet you archived it? Doesn't make sense!?!? read more

I highly recommend Nina for her exceptional ability to make anyone or anything stand out. She transformed my seemingly underwhelming qualifications into an impressive document that highlighted my skills and experiences. Her attention to detail and dedication to delivering outstanding results left me with a resume that stands out in a highly competitive job market. I was impressed by her ability to come up with all the appropriate keywords that made me stand out in a short time. Nina promised to get back to me tomorrow with an enhanced resume but ended up working on it until 10 pm to send the email. This shows her passion for what she does and her willingness to go the extra mile to make something perfect. read more

I went to Nina after graduating college as she was highly recommended by a good friend. I recently went back again to update my resume and she did a wonderful job.

Another hard working small business owner that Y-lp is screwing over by keeping all her great reviews on her "Captcha" page, while one wing nut's mental garbage is the only review on her main page. I advise consumers coming to this page to ignore the wing nut's post, but do take notice of Y-lp and how they criminally mistreat people. The truth about this lady's business sadly can only be found on her "Captcha" page, where most consumers don't take the time to view (and Y-lp knows this all too well). Please look there for a less biased (by Y-lp) cross section of opinions. read more

After talking to a few resume writers I chose A Worth's Worth. Reason - Nina did the initial interview over the phone, not via the Internet, to learn about me, my work history, and my goals. We then met (a rare occurrence these days) to talk to me and to develop my resume. My draft resume came on time as promised, Nina revises as needed until the final was completed to my satisfaction. Nina took the extra time to work with me on answering possible interview questions so I would be well prepared. An excellent writer and a lovely person to deal with. Thanks Nina. read more

I am an excellent writer, but resumes are just not my thing. Was a little leary to make the long drive up north...but it was totally worth it. This resume looked far better than the one I was ready to buy online. Also, the cover letter was professional and eye catching. Nina really took her time and even made the changes I asked, without hesitiation. I got many call-backs after sending this resume out and continue to use it to this day. I do recommend this to friends and think people will see what a difference a good resume makes in this scarce job market!!! read more

I definitely recommend A Word's Worth! Nina was great and very helpful! I have been unemployed for a few months and realized that my resume was not getting noticed so I was referred to Nina in order to make it pop. She did just that and also gave me advice regarding the job market and worked hard to make sure that my resume and cover letter met my expectations. With everything being electronic these days- it's important to find a professional who can help you write the perfect resume and cover letter so it won't get lost in the pile. read more

I have been using Nina for several years. Our relationship started at a very tough time in my life.
