This is the worst employment service I've dealt with. Many years ago, their Orlando branch was the…read moreplace that I obtained a long-term job through, for a company that I worked at for 8 years. I had high hopes for Apple One this time in Portland, but right from the start, I realized this wasn't the same place as before. First of all, on their site, they state that their office is in downtown Portland, but the reality is that they no longer have a physical office in Portland. Apparently they all work from home. I called them and spoke to one of their people. He seemed excited to talk to me and he scheduled a virtual meeting for the next day. The next day, that meeting never happened, so I called him back. He was confused about it at first, then after doing some "research" told me another person was going to call me back and do a pre-interview screening on the phone. That person never called me back. I kept calling them and asking what was going on and all I got was the run-around. The person who was supposed to pre-screen me never called or replied to my email. They literally ghosted me. So, it is really obvious why I have such a low opinion of this company now. I've since obtained a really great job, without the use of any employment agency and I feel like they missed out by not working with me, for whatever reason.

Their online application paperwork was tedious and excessive. When I signed up for an interview with them through some sort of online scheduling, I kept getting pushed back for days. They kept repeating that I had to update a particular form for information that was already in my resume. It all eventually fizzled out as no one from their office ever contacted me again. In short, this place is pathetic.

Investing in coaching from Chris Hayes is one of the best decisions I have made in my career. The…read more3.5 years I have worked with Chris have been by far the most productive, stimulating and fun stretch of my career. Not coincidentally, this run of good form on the career front while working with Chris has contributed to my personal life outside of work being more balanced and satisfying. I signed up for career coaching with Chris at a point in my career where I realized that I needed to own my own professional development as opposed to assuming my current or future manager(s) would have the skill set, interest and available time to make sure I was hitting my professional goals. Chris consistently creates a comfortable and fun space in our meetings that has allowed me to take an honest approach to my professional development and our monthly meetings are always rewarding and useful. In our meetings we strategize around my current goals, dig into problems I'm dealing with at work and flesh out the specific things I'm doing so I can confidently articulate my value. We also laugh a lot! I am grateful to have a coach and champion like Chris to help make sure I successfully navigate all the twists and turns, highs and low's of my professional journey. If you are curious about whether or not to explore career coaching, I highly recommend doing yourself a favor and booking an appointment with Chris. You won't regret it.

In 2013, I was hired by my dream technology company. I started there in an HR capacity after…read moreworking in several different roles that focused on mediation, consulting, and HR. After a year I moved into an IT based role within the company, despite knowing little about fundamentals in IT but wanted to challenge myself to learn something new. My manager at the time, had been working with Hayes and recommended him to me as a way to accelerate my growth. At the time I was dealing with some intense imposter syndrome, being a female POC in a male dominated technology space, and knew that I needed some sort of guidance to get me through it. I felt like a fish out of water and decided to take the leap to meet with Hayes. I was skeptical about what a coach could offer me, mainly because I had never experienced anything close to professional coaching before. Immediately upon meeting Hayes for drinks to get to know each other I felt at ease. Over my nearly three years in working with Hayes I have found him to be my most enthusiastic champion, a staunch feminist, creative problem solver, and an empathetic listener. Throughout our time working together I have been promoted twice, expanded my scope of work, moved into a managerial position, and have embraced challenge after challenge with relative ease. I would recommend anyone seek Hayes out if you have the means to do so no matter where you are in your career or what industry you are in.

I'm writing a review for the magic that is Job Jenny. As a birthday gift to myself I purchased a…read moreresume. My contract position wasn't going to last forever and my resume needed some serious love. I found JobJenny dot com and she had me at "hello" with her bright yellow website that touted her as a "Job Search BFF and Tough Love Expert on finding your passion." She immediately filled both of those roles for me. After an hour phone consult and a couple business days, there it was... my new and 100x improved resume, fresh off the press. It showcased the same experience and talent my old resume did, but with the style, professionalism and extra oomph it desperately needed. I put my job search in full-swing three weeks ago, and today I received an offer for a position that has "me" written all over it, (only a week and a half out of work). In the process, the resume and the employer-friendly key words it came with brought in a total of 6 or 7 job/phone interviews and countless calls from recruiters. I felt so popular, and the inner monologue of "crap, how am I gonna get a job in this market?" was silenced by my Blackberry ringing off the hook. Jenny's prices for Resumes and Cover Letters are a steal, even for the budget-weary job seeker. Five stars doesn't seem like enough to express my gratitude, so between us Yelpers, consider this a 10 Star review.
