When I came across Mary's resume services I was in search of a great writer. When I contacted Mary…read moreher communication was outstanding and I was sold right away before even getting a finished copy of the resume. She told me to send her all the information and accomplishments I had. After another brief conversation I received a RESUME out of this world. She never fails to edit or fine tune anything when I ask her to for potential jobs I'm looking to apply for. I give her the highest recommendation that is possible to give. I have gotten multiple interviews and job offers which is so refreshing. With it being a job seekers market you will need a great resume to get out there on the market and Mary is the MVP!

My son first worked with Lyndsey a couple of years ago. Lyndsey not only helped with creating an…read moreeffective resume for a new college grad, she also prepared him for interviews and was able to bring his confidence to a new level. In a few short months, he ended up being recruited for an integral role in a top secret position. Recently, he decided to work with Lyndsey again to get assistance updating his resume. Once again, this collaboration resulted in success. He has landed his dream career with the company he has wanted to work for since college. I truly believe that Lyndsey played a huge part in my son's success! Thank you, Lyndsey!

I highly recommend working with Samantha Stevens and First Job Austin. I was looking to get back…read moreinto the workforce after some time away and found the prospect daunting. After trying on my own for a while with little success, I reached out to Samantha and within a few months I received an ideal offer that I was thrilled to accept.

If you are looking to get back into the job hunt or are a first-time job seeker, do yourself a favor and reach out to First Job Austin.

I am so glad a friend referred me to Alexa. I knew I had solid work experience under my belt, but…read moreafter months of looking for a new gig, I knew it was time to shake up my approach. Alexa was meticulous in digging through my current resume and helping me find ways to make it stronger. She also provided great pointers and an outline for a stronger cover letter. Plus, a big part of her approach is setting up informational interviews with people in companies, industries and roles you're interested in and she graciously provided introductions to people in her own network. With my new resume I was able to land an interview at my next dream job, and once I finally landed an offer, I scheduled additional time with her to gather pointers on how to negotiate. I've been at my new job for almost two months now and could not be happier that I had Alexa's help to get me here. She's smart, fast and thorough, but also just fun to work with; I always felt like I was just brainstorming and strategizing with a friend.

When a job opportunity came along that fit those preferences, I knew it was the right move to take it. Also, I will never have to redo my resume again -- it is in an awesome template that will be easy to refresh. It is always hard to say where a job will come from, and when, or how you got there, but Alexa provided the tools I needed to dive into the job search and find a good fit.

I had the most positive experience with Ron and his Writer's Workshop!…read more About a year ago, I had the awesome privilege of hosting 7 very talented and wonderful people that I manage for work in Austin for a week of brainstorm, team building, and educational sessions. The memories made during our writer's workshop will be will cherished forever. It provided an opportunity for us to share our writing strengths all while allowing ourselves to be a little vulnerable, too. Ron was not only highly professional, he was thorough, prompt, and kind, too. Unsure what a writer's workshop would entail, I wasn't so much hesitant as I was curious, but also a tad anxious as my respect as a manager was hanging in the balance. As a new manager to these aforementioned, wonderful people I wanted them to explore their creativity, but also have a positive experience as a newly formed team with a new manager. And thanks to Roy and his workshop they did. We still talk about this workshop...not so much about what we wrote about, but how it made us laugh.

I was one of those people who wished I had a more creative life, but never did anything about it…read more All that changed when I discovered Ron's writing table. You don't have to do anything but show up for a couple of hours, and you will find yourself transforming your blank page into stories that you can't believe came from your pen. No critics, no judgement, no expectations or word counts - only the joy of creating with some really fun and interesting people. Writing workshop is a highlight of my week, and one of the reasons I never want to leave Austin. I was afraid I wasn't good enough to hang with "real" writers, but I'm so glad I decided to try it. So happy he's added a south Austin workshop too!

I hired Liz based on a recommendation and was excited upon our first meeting. During our initial…read moreconversation, She said everything that sounded perfect for a resume coach. However, her follow-through and words were empty promises. She told me she would get me all set up on LinkedIn, and then during the process, she informed me she couldn't do it because her browser remembers her password and wouldn't let her log in to LinkedIn to assist me. Her writing skill set needed to be updated; she didn't respond to me and failed to help me with LinkedIn. I would not recommend Liz; she is way overpriced and not worth the headache. I hired another person who was educated in ensuring keywords were present in my resume to get through the ATS screening process. Liz never even mentioned anything of the sort. Liz is a salesperson who needs to follow through and has questionable knowledge of current standards.

It pains me to write this review because Liz came HIGHLY recommended from several sources including…read morea personal friend, BUT the service I got was TERRIBLE. First, the website indicated that the price for a resume with less than 10 years of experience was $275 dollars. The price I was quoted was $400. Thinking this was a misunderstanding, I wrote Liz back saying I thought it would be $275. She stated she was changing her website and that her price was now set at $400. Understanding it can take a few hours to update a website and needing the perfect resume FAST I said that was OK, a bit high, but OK. The second issue came up with the deadline. We established a date 5 days ahead when the first draft would be available. 5 days passed. 6 days passed. On the 7th day I contacted Liz. I understand deadlines can be missed but at least TELL ME THAT! 5 days later I had my first draft. 12 days into the process. The first draft was HORRIBLE. She reworded the wrong resume (I sent her two so she had plenty of information to choose from as well as an example of what I did not want. She used the wrong one). Additionally there was information in the resume from ANOTHER CLIENT!!!! So we have the wrong resume, reworded and re-stylized (Exactly what I told her I did not want), with someone else's information, 7 days late. At this point I wanted a refund. There are no refunds given for her "service" and she assured me the resume would come out great after the interview process. The interview process was VERY GOOD. This is clearly where Liz shines. We talked for an hour and she identified some very crucial items from my job history. After the interview I received a new resume but only after I set the deadline. However it was still not what I expected. My job title is Support Engineer (A tier 3 support person). However 1/2 of my job is advocating for the client's position in the product development process. The other 1/2 is closing cases. I wanted the first half to shine and pop because I am trying to enter a product management / business analyst position. She could not do this nor understood what I meant. The resume also was 2 pages long which she assured me was OK and it did not have a Career Objective/What job do you want section. Again said this was OK and stated that is the job of the Cover Letter. So I wanted to see how the resume did. After 2 months of applying I have not had a single phone interview. I have written custom cover letters and used several internal connections to get my resume straight to the hiring manager. Also I was able to communicate with a couple of recruiters. I asked them about my resume. The first one said: "So you want to stay in tech support. Do you have UNIX experience? If so that definitely should be on your resume." Strike 1. The second recruiter immediately said: "You seem full of yourself when your resume is 900 words but you only have 4 years of experience" Strike 2. Various other recruiter friends said basically the same thing. You need a description of the job you want and you need to limit this to one page. OK, so I send Liz an email about what I heard back. According to the service if you are not satisfied contact her back and she'll keep at it up to 6 months after the initial resume. I have not heard back from Liz. Strike 3: you're getting a bad review. Summary: To me it seems Liz is very used to dealing with C-level people. She is very good at executive speak. However, she does not communicate effectively with her clients especially about expectations. If you say 5 days it better be 5 days or at least tell me you will be late. I felt she was way too busy to care about my resume. The fact that she used the wrong one and had OTHER PEOPLE'S information in my resume was a HUGE RED FLAG! The other fact that recruiters (The people who read resume's day in and day out) chewed up her work in a matter of seconds was another flag. The last fact, she assured me the resume would work despite my concerns, to me shows she is not used to working with non C-Level employees. In conclusion, if you are not a C-Level employee think twice. I definitely feel this service was not worth the $400 dollars I paid.
