I could not be more pleased with Kirstin's expertise. I have used her services two times; and both experiences were top notch across the board. I was having trouble getting past the automate resume readers that many companies use now-a-days, and she was able to help my resume stand out from the pack and secure interviews; I was actually offered all of the jobs that I applied for after she helped me with my resume! She really takes the time to listen to your experiences; and has a way of formatting this to your resume to really make it shine. She also takes the time to review the specific job that you are applying for. 10/10 would recommend her- she is awesome. Thank you! read more

This is a follow up review. I recently had my resume updated by Masterpiece Resume on Sept 2021, as I was very pleased with the original work which got me my current job. I had great things to say about the service. I gave some added individual awards and other accomplishments, which were put into the new resume that I asked Masterpiece to do for me. I got the resume back and didn't look over it like I should have my fault all the way as I should have reviewed the resume. I went back after getting another description that I felt better aligned on a updated resume. I asked MR about the update, which I was told would be an addition 89.00 to add the additional materials for a expedited fee as I needed it soon, I was applying to another job with a different company. At this point I started looking back at my resume before making my decision. I noticed a lot of mistakes, Spelling, sentences cut off not making sense, Things not put on the resume that should have been added to the resume after saying they were missing the first time. I emailed Masterpiece about my not paying for the service to add additional materials and also to tell my displeasure with the updated resume. I had to go back and fix a lot of mistakes, as I said that was my fault for not checking more thoroughly when I first received it back from the updated resume. I never heard back from MasterPiece Resume after I sent an email about having to fix everything and not use the services again. I waited to write this post to see if I ever would. It's been over a month. read more

I was in desperate need of an update to my resume AND business plan. As I have been in business since 2002, I was in the middle of acquiring a major client with a contract that would last me well into the next 5 years at least!! Kirsten absolutely put together a kit that I could present with the upmost confidence! Not only did I land my contract, but my client is offering to bring me on full time under their banner; but that's another story! I'm not a huge yelper, but do believe in using it to share with my friends and others locally looking for what services I found. With that said, I must say that the negative review below is somewhat unacceptable. It feels to me like the negative yelper is used to being a bully by looking at the other 8 scathing reviews they made. I was concerned at first seeing the review, but after seeing the jist of it; I know I made the right decision! Seriously, get a life you whining panzy. Only a coward of a man would act like this towards a female, show some class and move on. Thanks Kirsten for your hard work. I appreciate the hours you put in, and I apologize for making so many change requests! You really put my job and environment into perspective! read more

Both my husband and I were in need of our resumes and cover letters re-done. We had gone with a previous writing service and after a year of filling out numerous job applications and sending in our resume and cover letters we had no luck on even landing an interview. We found Kirsten here on Yelp and gave her a call. We sent her what the other company and done for us and after she reviewed it, she gave us a call back with her ideas on how she could make it better. We liked her ideas and moved forward. Within a couple days she had both of our projects completed and they were perfect! We highly recommend Kirstin if you are in need of having a professional and authentic resume/cover letter done. read more

I recommend Kirstin's resume and cover letter writing service. She helped me organize and layout my skills in a format that best highlights my achievements and goals. She was efficient and easy to work with. If your looking for a little help taking your job search to the next level, Kristin may be able to help you like she did me!!! Scott H. read more

Over and above expectations! When I was searching for a refresh on my resume I came across Kirsten's service and I thought that her history of working with our military would add value to the words and phrases that are necessary to stand out on a resume. My resume and cover letter couldn't be better. Kirsten listened to what I was in search of and not only created a masterpiece of a resume but she somehow put personality behind it. I was searching for a job and I was asked if I wanted my resume critiqued for no charge. I had it critiqued and the response that I received back was "After reviewing your resume, I am happy to announce that your resume is excellent! Congratulations! Having an excellent resume immediately puts you in the top 4% of job seekers! As such, I wouldn't recommend making any changes to it". Not top 10% top 4% of job seekers. This is all because of Kirsten's expertise and her professional career advice. 24 hours after posting my masterpiece resume I have had several calls for interviews. I know that with her service it will be up to me to make my choice to where I want my career to go next. Thank you doesn't seem to be enough. read more

Excellent!! Kirsten wrote a great resume for me. I was changing careers and going fir my first job in the medical field. With Kirstens help i got hired with a major healthcare provider! I really believe it was my resume that she wrote up for me that was the key to landing a great job. The pricing is reasonable and the service was prompt and professional. I highly recommend masterpiece resume to everyone. read more

I have gone through "online resume services" before, the ones that give you a "discount" and offer you "quick turn around" and "good results" only to be completely let down. Then I luckily stumbled upon Kirstin & her company, Masterpiece Resume. Kirstin was ACTUALLY all those things that other company promise but never deliver.Upon initial inquiry email, she responded in less than a day. We agreed on a time and spoke on the phone (we are in different parts of the country) We discussed expectations and goals and a few days later in my inbox was the professional level resume/cover letter that I was looking for. Any revisions or questions I had, Kirstin quickly answered or applied without any gimmicks. Pleased with the results is an understatement! Thank you so much! read more

Beyond its worth, impressed with Kirstin's ability to synthesize my thirty years of accomplishments in such a well laid out format. Thoroughly satisfied read more

Buyer beware. The resume is poor quality. The website looks nice so I was fooled. I went back & looked at it again. The writer doesn't even have a college degree. Now I know why the resume is poorly written & the cover letter is worse. read more

Ms. Kirstin Olsen is one of the most INCOMPETENT and UNPROFESSIONAL private contractors I have ever hired!!! After a 20 year career in the MILITARY I hired Kirstin to write me resumes geared toward civilian employment. Not only did she not fulfill the contract, but what she did produce was full of amateur grammatical/verbal errors. When I attempted to bring it to her attention, First she ignored my phone calls and voices mails, then stated she was not receiving my texts messages either. It wasn't until I informed Ms. Olsen I intended to leave negative feedback online that she finally responded too me. She attempted to bribe me by offering a $200 refund of the $500 I PAID her in advance, ONLY if I signed a "Gag Order", NOT to leave NEGATIVE Feedback. Obviously, I have more Integrity than that and would not be bought, nor care to see any other Veteran OR good Samaritan get scammed or ripped off like I was. Kirstin made several excuses from "I had alot come up", "I had taken longer than expected", to finally "I do not want to work with you any further" after I called her out on her LIES!!! DON'T GET RIPPED OFF LIKE ME.... I can a sure you Ms. Olsen I am no liar and your continued IMMATURE idol threats with regards to future employment are just continued pathetic attempt to threaten me. Here one of your texts supporting my earlier assertions. " (3/5) er, there are different rules. I wanted to get your project to you for review and address edits. I had a lot come up that precluded me from being able to " Here is your BRIBE/GAG ORDER to refund me for not fulfilling our contract you attempted to have me sign to silence me, but again I have INTEGRITY (That could be why You Don't have any Negative Feedback ): "As per our agreement, I Kirstin Olsen, Owner of Masterpiece Resume will refund client, Joseph Jervis, $200.00 (partial project fee paid) via PayPal. In return Joseph Jervis has agreed he will not post a negative review on ANY social platform or complaint to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) now or ever in respect to and regarding services provided and personal experience with Masterpiece Resume or Kirstin Olsen. Partial refund is being processed solely based on miscommunication of project expectations. Please note that should you fail to comply with the above demands, or participate in the above activity outlined, I will take formal legal action against you.  Such legal action may include the filing of a lawsuit against you for, among other things, breach of good faith and fair dealing, libel and defamation.  In connection with such a lawsuit, you may face liability for compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorneys' fees and costs. All email and text correspondence have been saved, printed and filed for future use should this agreement be violated in any manner. " Goodbye Ms. Olsen and stop texting and email me your threats like you sent again today. Lord knows I have tried to ignore all your emails, texts, and threats!!!! And never responded as you had hoped...Below is her threating text sent today Nov 3, 2015 after reading this posting to my Personal email. How unprofessional and confrontational. ... " Just a word of advice from the industry I am a professional in, Career Counseling. Just as your comments and reviews of other businesses can hurt them, they can also hurt yourself. Do you feel that with all of the hostile reviews posted by you in direct onslaught and use of volatile verbiage is going to make you look good to a potential employer? My guess is, a potential employer investigating you for a security type profession will clearly see how hostile and potentially unstable you may be as an employee representing their company and may even consider you as a potential liability waiting to happen and therefore will not consider you a candidate for hire. Social media works both ways Mr. Jervis, you should just hope it doesn't backfire on you and your job search efforts. " I hope to See You in Small Claims Court Ms. Olsen .... read more

Kirsten did a wonderful job and I can't recommend her enough. She took the time to understand my concerns and put together a cover letter and resume that is beyond my expectations. read more

I highly recommend Kirstin for resume and cover letter writing needs. She knows what employers are looking for, the latest format requirements and trends. Kirstin went above and beyond for me from the start with our phone conversation, emails, to sending several proofs to choose from. Kirstin's professionalism, understanding my needs and goals are why I'm confident about excelling in my next career move. read more

I am so grateful that i decided to use Masterpiece Resume. On a Monday I was told that I needed a Federal Resume in 5 days to see if I was qualified to attend a course by the Veteran Affairs, that could lead to employment with them. I gathered all the information that Kristin required to complete the resume and on Friday she gave me the final draft. I was accepted into the course and a week before the course graduated I was offered a position with the VA. Through the process she was very attentive and kept in constant contact with me which gave me a great feeling that I was going to receive a great product. Her experience and professionalism can easily be seen in her work. I would highly recommend Masterpiece Resume to anybody looking for help in building a resume. read more

I highly recommend Masterpiece Resume. I gave Kirsten a very dated resume, and after several interviews she provided a refreshed and updated document that reflects my long career in adult education. The process of working with her was excellent. After several edits I have a new document that is very professional. Kirsten also went "above and beyond" in the final stage of putting this together. She walked my through the steps of editing and downloading my document. 5 star service! read more
