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.

In just a month, Hope has changed my life! She guided me through an a multi-step process that opened doors I didn't even know existed.

I met with the VP of "Texas Headquarter for Employment" aka T.H.E and he informed me during our…read moreinterview that there is a fee I would be paying for their "employment services". This caught me by surprise because it directly contradicted the information given when they made first contacted me, when I specifically asked them if it was the employee or the employer who pays them for their services? From my experiences in the past and as an actual employer who hired several head hunters and employee locating services to find qualified key personnel, it was the employer who always payed. Upon researching it further I found many other job seekers who had also experienced T.H.E. and their deceptive recruiting practice, who have likewise turned and ran once discovering it was not so much about helping them as it was a well rehearsed sales pitch geared toward squeezing out a $5000+ fee from an often desperate unemployed job seeker for the dream of landing a high salaried position, for which T.H.E. claims to have some special insider connection for getting them hired. I agree with the other reviews and I too believe that if they were doing what they claim to be doing, placing thousands of professionals in high paying positions, then there would be ample employer fees to net an honest profit to more then meet their operational goals? T.H.E has now lost my trust and my business by being deceptive right out the gate and not at all upfront regarding their fees. Which if I had known about beforehand, I would not have wasted my time today. I'm just glad I wasn't foolish enough to give them $5000 and by having not, I consider myself one of the lucky ones!

About a week later, I was put in touch with one of their "senior-level writers" who called me for a brief interview. Although I had shared both a long-form and short form version of my current resume in addition to my LinkedIn profile, it was clear that my resume writer had not reviewed anything at all before our conversation. While she was very personable, she struggled to understand basic technical terms and concepts and could not offer any appreciable advice on what she expected to improve, but I decided to try and trust the process. About 15 days after paying for services, I received my first draft which was simply a typographical reformat of my existing resume riddled with broken English, misspelled words, and poor grammar. The writer had simply cut and pasted the bullets I'd written together, while attempting to cut out random words to make sentences shorter. The resulting product was nonsensical, shoddy, and embarrassing in every sense of the word. I took a few days to reflect on the best path forward, then contacted the company to explain that it was clear they were not headed in the right direction. I explained that I thought it would be fair to offer partial payment for time already expended, but did not wish to continue with my writer. I was immediately put in contact with the company president Jeremy who spent the next month exchanging emails with me about all the things he was doing to fix the situation, going as far as to personally rewrite my resume himself. Over the 12 emails we exchanged during that month, I continuously asked to see the file he was creating, but he continued to brush me off and produced excuse after excuse. Finally, after receiving no files, no drafts, not even a snipped of text from Jeremy, he told me to keep in touch on my results and stopped responding entirely. Literally. Never. Received. A Resume. I have now contacted the company dozens of times requesting status updates, asking about my LinkedIn review, and literally begging for anyone to explain or engage about actually delivering on any of the things I paid for. I have lost 50 days of my time trying to get the service I paid for, and now I am being completely ghosted, and have resorted to writing my resume myself. Avoid this company like the plague, check the other reviews here on yelp, don't get scammed.

She's very responsive, easy to talk to, and has a genuine interest in seeing her clients get better. She's keenly observant and adept at connecting the dots. Her judgment is sound. The process she applied was CBT, which is an interactive and challenging treatment. But she never pushed too hard, and made sure I was okay with the pace. She guided me to my own rational conclusions, and knew just when to tell me something I needed to hear. I found myself looking forward to the collaboration. We identified practical exercises to keep me from backsliding into the proverbial abyss. They're working for me. I feel fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Kaitlan, and I'll definitely return if I want to work on other areas. If you're considering seeing her, I believe you will see good results if you put in your share of the effort.

I read the books on my own and I worked through them on my own as I had a hard time connecting with with Dr. Gibbins in a remote setting. When I asked for an in-person meeting, she defined and said she was not taking them, which is understandable but I was surprised our sessions ended with no referrals or help to find someone in her place. When I asked her for a referral she offered no suggestions and no help at all. She provided no help or assistance. This action made it very clear that Dr. Gibbins is really not there to help me. Nor does she really care about me as her patient because a caring human therapist would have followed through with a referral if they really cared. Especially when the therapist is aware of what you are working through. I would not recommend Dr. Gibbins if you have severe trauma as I think she needs more experience based on my experience with her. Maybe she is just lazy and didn't feel like helping me her patient....either way not a good experience.
