Yelp's review filtering system banished my recent review of Rapid Resume to the "Not Recommended"…read moresection (not sure why), so I'm reposting it below:
***********
Bruce is the only person I would trust to fix up my resume. If I could give him 10 stars, I would.
A little background:
For years, I had been contemplating a cross country move to Los Angeles. Finally, I decided to apply to jobs in LA, but knew that my resume would require a serious revamp in order to attract the attention of local employers, especially as an out-of-state applicant. Initially, I attempted to fix my resume on my own, but quickly realized that I needed professional help.
After researching various resume services, I settled on Rapid Resume based on the excellent reviews. I sent a message to Bruce, and he responded almost immediately. We discussed my situation and expectations, and I sent him a copy of my existing resume along with the edits and additions I hoped to incorporate into the new version. We also agreed to meet several days later so that he could go over the changes to my resume and cover letter in person.
On the day of the meeting, I was optimistic but still a little bit unsure of what to expect. But once I arrived at his office and reviewed his edits, any lingering concerns went away immediately. Thanks to Bruce's hard work, my resume and cover letter were transformed from basic, unimpressive documents into polished, refined tools with which I could confidently apply to potential employers.
I was so impressed by the results that I wanted to send out about 100 resumes on the spot, whereas prior to his assistance, I was experiencing a tremendous amount of anxiety due to concerns about my resume's lackluster appearance and content. Instead of worrying about what my resume lacked, I was now extremely confident about what I could offer due to Bruce's keen ability to extract and highlight my unique talents and skill set in a way that would properly market me to potential employers.
Thanks to Bruce's hard work, I was able to secure my desired job in Los Angeles within a month of receiving the updated resume and cover letter. I cannot express how grateful I am for Bruce's assistance, as he not only cleaned up these documents, but he also provided me with insight about the local job market along with tips for marketing myself properly. There is no way that I would have been able to land a job so quickly and from across the country without the stellar resume that Bruce produced for me. What could have been a long, discouraging process was expedited by Bruce's complete rebuild of my resume.
Simply put, Bruce is an expert at what he does. If you are a job seeker in need of resume editing services, he is the only person you want to contact. He is wise, professional, and insightful, and his prices are more than fair.
Thank you again for all of your help, Bruce!
