I had considered using resume services in the past, but was hesitant to pull the trigger because…read moreresume writing seems like it should be intuitive, and I've had success in years past. After doing some more research, quality seems to vary across resume writers, and prices are all over the place. I filled out the form on Steve's site for a free evaluation of my current resume. Unlike other sites where you might get an automated response or critique, he actually called me. Our first conversation was pretty funny. Steve gave me some advice that was half actionable. In other words, I understood what he said, but I also realized very quickly that what he was suggesting wasn't something I could easily do myself. Still hesitant, we talked a little more, and we ended the conversation with my taking a weekend to mull it over. I was torn. A new job easily covers the expense and resume writing is something I appreciate now as definitely not intuitive. I went ahead and the whole process took less than a week. The final product left me pretty floored. My interview with Rob was incredibly easy - he listened to stories I have told over drinks, and translated them into bullets that I never would have written but were remarkably accurate and poignant. He asked questions to keep me talking, and after a first pass, we went back and forth once on minor points. My new resume has achieved a 600% increase in number of responses. I have since had to customize it a few times because recruiters were first hooked and needed "a little more of [this]." The real results have tremendously boosted my confidence, and there is no question in my mind that a professionally written resume is worthwhile. Steve is a tremendous resource, and I couldn't be happier to have worked with him and Rob.

He was quick to answer my inquiry and also quick to get started. My new resume was amazing for my situation as was my cover letter I had requested. I can't say It got me a job, but I can say it showed me what I was missing and that I decided I am getting the certifications I need and a BA as I wont need experienced and will achieve the income I am making now after the change. I will use the cover letter and resume I received from Mr. Levin as truly believe it is a winner and after a few changes with what I achieve in the next two years, the work he did for me will be money very well spent!!! Thank You Mr. Levin

I found JobStars from researching resume writing services on Yelp. I emailed about 5-6 companies…read morefor quotes (resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile), samples of their styles of writing and design, and if they would be able to tailor them to different job fields. Doug was actually one of the first to email me back. I immediately favored his template and I even showed my girlfriend the three templates (without telling which one I preferred) and she agreed that Doug's was the best. Doug's writing style is professional, easy to read, and the template was very appealing and eye-catching. The next day, I called Doug to ask him a few questions. Based on our conversation, I knew I wanted to choose JobStars. Doug is a genuine guy who really wanted to help me out. He answered all of my questions and offered the best value for the three services I requested so I purchased the package later that night. The following morning, I received a response email with a questionnaire to fill out. After filling out the questionnaire and sending it back, Doug said it would take 4-5 business days for him to write the first draft. Sure enough, I received the first draft in 4 business days. As an added bonus, Doug went out of his way and sent me an alternate resume (I'm pursuing careers in two different fields). I informed him there was an application I wanted to submit that was due at midnight, and within an hour of sending me the first draft, I had an alternate resume as well. As mentioned before, Doug genuinely wanted to help me succeed. Overall, I am very happy with choosing JobStars. My resume looks outstanding and highlights my accomplishments from previous jobs. Most importantly, it created my own brand which is important in job hunting and standing out. I feel much more confident starting my job search and feel like I have an edge over the competition.

Well, yes, but not nearly as well as these professionals who have been in the business for much longer. They rewrote my resume in a way I never could have (I tried). But the most helpful part of the package was the interview prep session. I couldn't believe how well Wilma captured my experience and gave me the words to use that fit the role perfectly, without exaggerating. This service is worth the money. It will help you land a good job. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys. You invest in yourself, and you reap the rewards.

Joe is very friendly and personable and I enjoyed our review meeting. The rewrites were great and exactly what I was looking for.

I've never had a moment with Nick where's he's not been flexible to my timelines or met me where I am to help calibrate my thinking. It was the best investment I've made in myself!

Before working with Nick, I had recently undergone several significant life changes. Nick was…read moreinstrumental in helping me focus, prioritize, and maintain motivation throughout. Working with him was everything I needed and more, as his guidance provided exceptional results. Leveraging Nick's techniques and tools, I landed an interview with almost every position I went after. Those initial interviews led to multiple interviews and, ultimately, multiple offers. As a result of working with him, I landed a senior-level position in an exceptional organization with a sizable compensation increase and a sign-on bonus. It was so much more than simple job coaching. Nick is incredibly grounded and intuitive to your needs. Even things you didn't realize you needed at the time. In addition, he only takes on a certain number of clients, so he is accessible. I recall many early-morning calls, late-night texts, and impromptu Zoom meetings throughout my job search journey. My results were outstanding, and it is one of the best investments I have ever made in myself.

Sheila Nielsen came to me highly recommended by two co-workers. One sought her out while still in…read morelaw school and considering dropping out of the program. Sheila helped her sort through what she liked and didn't like, gave her suggestions on paths that would best suither, and this girl is now a superstar at work. If only I had been lucky enough to have that guidance during school! The other was a lawyer who left the practice to get a masters in education. These two examples, plus their rave reviews of her skills, led me to believe that the cost of seeking career counseling from Sheila would be one of the best investments I would ever make- she clearly wasn't prejudiced one way or the other on keeping her clients in practice of law! Having practiced law for quite some time, she's obviously very familiar with the ups and downs Her work centers around attorneys and helping them find the best career path, either within the law or outside of it. She offers more than career counseling- including what I would probably describe as training for the often socially incompetent people who fall into this profession (I know just as many painfully awkward lawyers as I do smooth talkers). But since my experience with her has been with counseling alone, I'll limit my review to that She is incredibly thorough in getting you to open up about what you do and don't like, both about your job and in other areas of your life (talking about your hobbies and interests as well). You work through exercises that essentially give you a chance to describe your ideal work and life. She identifies trends in what you say that you probably don't pick up on, or perhaps actively try to ignore (guilty as charged). She has given me suggestions that I would never have thought up for myself, and insights about myself that I would have tried to not pay attention to if I was not forced to view them up close. (many of which mean I'm a terrible fit for my current position- well not shocking but at least nice to know I'm not imagining it!). The bonus that I would think makes her counseling different from general career counselors is her legal experience- she knows what is out there and has practiced in a few different areas of the law. Now my law school didn't really encourage nontraditional paths- pretty much the only career support you got was the push towards big firms) so her knowledge in this respect is invaluable to me. I wouldn't have the first clue of how to find something different. Perhaps most importantly to me, she provides an objective outside opinion- even if you know deep down that you're on the wrong path and all you need is to hear it confirmed out loud, this can make a big difference. For me, it has been extremely hard to deal with the expectations of the people around me, making it almost impossible to productively bounce ideas off of anyone. It seems like when you're in the position of facing decisions, everyone's got an opinion, and everyone's opinion is different (not to mention based on their own notions of what would be good, not really yours!) I'm still in the middle of my work with her and will have to come back and update this accordingly as I finish up, but for any others in my position, I truly think its worth the time and financial investment
