When I came across Mary's resume services I was in search of a great writer. When I contacted Mary her communication was outstanding and I was sold right away before even getting a finished copy of the resume. She told me to send her all the information and accomplishments I had. After another brief conversation I received a RESUME out of this world. She never fails to edit or fine tune anything when I ask her to for potential jobs I'm looking to apply for. I give her the highest recommendation that is possible to give. I have gotten multiple interviews and job offers which is so refreshing. With it being a job seekers market you will need a great resume to get out there on the market and Mary is the MVP! read more

I have worked with Mary a few times and she has been wonderful! For this job search, I had some hurdles to overcome. I was competing in a tough market in an industry where layoffs were happening frequently so I had even more competition. I was also seeking a role I hadn't done for some time. It doesn't happen overnight with a market and competition liket his, but Mary worked her magic for me!

I recently worked with Mary (the resume assassin) to revise my resume, and I am very pleased with the results. First of all, she took what seemed like a ton of information and created a new formatted resume that captures the essence of my overall experiences then highlights key accomplishments from each position over my career and ensured an ATS compliant format (that looks great). I am very happy with the final outcome. Additionally, I have 12 cover letter templates that I can choose from when creating a cover letter along with a references template and tons of resources and suggestions for how to enhance my LinkedIn profile as well. I was skeptical but am very pleased with the opportunity to have worked with her and made the necessary investment in my future. Thank you, resume assassin. read more

If you're reading these reviews, then you are probably like I was, searching through all sorts of resume websites trying to see which ones are legit and which ones spit out generic resumes and at the same time applying to jobs with an average resume and wondering if it's good enough. I can tell you that Mary's resumes are tailored to you and for the jobs you are applying for. I worked at Apple for fifteen years, and over that time, I only applied for internal positions. For the first time in over a decade, I was applying to jobs outside of the company! How do I put 15 years of experience in 1-2 pages?! Not to mention I am not the best writer, nor am I up to date on any of the hiring trends, resume preferences, etc. I reached out to Mary for help. She responded to me quickly, and after meeting and discussing my career, we started the process. Mary sent me a detailed questionnaire to fill out, which I sent back along with a copy of the resume I had made and links to several jobs I was interested in. The turnaround time was fast! I had my first draft in two days, and it was almost perfect. There were just a few minor updates/corrections. As I read the resume, I couldn't believe it was me I was reading about! I sounded like a badass LOL! There was no embellishing or lying; she wrote it perfectly! I was very picky with the jobs I applied to; I didn't send my resume to anyone and everyone. Even with the few jobs I was applying for; I was contacted by the majority I applied to. At least 80% of the jobs I applied to offered me an initial interview. That's what I needed Mary for, to get my foot in the door and then let me do the rest :) After applying for jobs, I received an offer within three months; the interview for the job I took was a 6-week process. IF I had not used Mary, I don't know how many interviews I would have missed. If you're serious about applying for jobs, then reach out to Mary. It will be the best thing you've done all year. read more

I recently re-selected Mary Southern owner of Resume Assassins to partner with me in the process to reframe my Linked in and resume. Yes, you read that correctly. I worked with Mary to help me pivot my career twice. I didn't want to just hand off my resume to someone to update. I interviewed several people and was impressed by how Mary approached the process differently. She was a true partner to help walk me through the process. She provided the lens of how I could best tell my story, and personal brand statement and ensure that reflected consistently and concisely. She incorporated several discussions and revisions throughout the process. I felt that my resume truly reflected who I was, and wasn't a stranger to me. It was good to have someone to think through and add new life to my resume. read more

Honestly, I was a little bit worried about spending so much money to get my resume made, but was having no luck with the job market. I went ahead and had Resume Assassin help me with my resume, in which Mary was extremely easy to work with. Once the process was complete, I couldn't believe how professional my resume was! I finally started getting job interviews in which everybody told me that my resume really caught their attention. I had a job in no time! I would highly recommend getting Resume. Assassin to look at your resume! read more

I hadn't made a resume in about 14 years and I had no clue how to start distilling what I had accomplished in the past 14 years in a way that was concise and powerful. Mary was (very quickly!) able to consolidate my experience and present it in a way that looked professional and sounded more impressive than I think I would have done on my own. I also hired her to update my LinkedIn profile after she completed my resume. I am a very satisfied customer & have already recommended her services to five people and I know my referrals to her will only continue to grow. Mary is easy to work with and she really delivers! Just an extra note - I am not a wealthy person (yet;) & found her rates very affordable. read more

Before I met Mary, I would never hear back from companies or recruiters. I never thought that I would ever need help with my resume. I am glad I reached out to Mary because she helped me with my resume and I have gotten so much attention from so many recruiters. I highly recommend Mary if you're in the market for a professional resume writer. I am currently still with the company that hired me after using the resume Mary created for me. I must say, there is something about Mary! read more

Mary created an excellent Data Architect resume for me. I've had issue finding resume writers familiar with software concept specifically around data but Mary was able to create something that conveys my skills and experience using terms and concepts perfectly apt for my industry. I chose well. read more

About one year ago I was contacted by Mary to create my Resume. I had recently graduated and was applying to jobs with a current resume I produced for myself. Hundreds of applications and I would never receive an interview or even a phone screening. Once Mary got ahold of my resume and redesigned it to fit the jobs I was applying for it was a game changer. I started receiving interviews left and right. A year later and I'm currently employed with a medical supply company as a sales rep. I could have never done it without her help. Thank you so much Mary! read more

It was an absolute pleasure working with Mary on the creation of several professional resources related to career progression and 'story telling'. Her help was critical in my successful pursuit of an exec-level role at a fortune 100 technology company. Mary's communication is fantastic, she delivers ahead of schedule, the quality of her work is exceptional, and the return on investment was incalculable. I highly recommend her! So stop looking for someone better. You won't find them. ;) read more

Highly recommend Resume Assassin! Mary took my plain boring resume and updated it into an eye-catching format that highlighted the most important information. Mary was wonderful to work with as well.

My experience with Mary was quite positive right from the start. Mary took time to listen, research, and understand the space in which I work so she could tailor a resume suited to my niche industry. The work product was delivered promptly, feedback was incorporated, and it was aligned perfectly with the role I was sought. I strongly recommend working with Mary to present your experience and skills in the best possible format.

Mary was wonderful to work with. She understood what I needed and had a great draft back to me within a week. Working with Mary on my resume allowed me to start my job search with confidence and land my dream job. If you are looking to refresh your resume, contact Mary. read more

I highly recommend Mary's services. I've had my resume updated and rearranged several times in the past with other resume specialists, but over time it's become cluttered and was definitely no longer representative of my skills and experience as an Executive. Mary not only redesigned the content to provide a bolder and more prominent picture of my background and accomplishments, but she also made sure my resume was optimized to increase the likelihood that it would pass the initial automated screening by an applicant tracking system and end up in the hands of the hiring manager. read more

Mary was very easy to work with and reasonably priced for the quality of work that she offers. I was more than satisfied with the updates to my résumé and I've had many opportunities presented to me based on those updates. read more

Highly recommend her resume and LinkedIn profile services. She was able to make my resume and LinkedIn profile really shine and highlight my achievements, instead of just listing job titles and skills. I've already recommended her to a couple of friends that are looking for jobs as well. I got contacted for interviews pretty quickly once using the resume and LinkedIn profile services she provided. Thank you Mary! read more

Mary is remarkable! I needed an updated resume quickly, and Mary was able to oblige. She created a wonderfully modern, updated resume.

Working with Mary was fast and so incredibly helpful. I cannot recommend Resume Assassin enough. Amidst the crazy covid job-hunt, this was done well and with great insight. The pre-resume build up questionnaire was insightful and a great leading tool to think through my experience. She helped get my Linkedin profile ready with key components so that recruiters can find me. I'd highly recommend working with Mary and Resume Assassin. read more

Pros and cons. I am writing the review because I rely on my fellow yelpers and want to help. Pros - local business, fast responses and friendly. Cons - maybe too fast? I found mistakes in my resume. Typos like equity was missing an e. Acting was titled "active." In the cover letter I was referred to as a male when I identify as female. One of my jobs was left out of my resume without an explanation. I asked it be reinserted. It was but with the wrong title, not the one from the resume I provided and the description was very much lacking compared to the other entries. I was glad I asked for it to be reinserted because the recruiter even mentioned on the phone with me that she was checking for any gaps in employment. When we had our initial discussions I said I would want to include diversity in my cover letter and it wasn't included until asked. There was a short time lag from consultation to retaining so I can understand why left out of the cover letter. There was no discussion on preferred template. I asked it be changed and it was without an issue; however, we could have discussed before hand to get it right initially. Overall the service helped me get it kickstarted but there is no discount for bundling. I think if I was more adept at AI and I had time to watch YouTube videos about LinkedIn there are other ways to produce the product. read more

Great service!! Mary was super responsive and helpful when it came to my concerns or proposed edits. I got sooooooo many interviews and job offers after optimizing my resume with Mary. I've referred a number of people to her, and they, too, had positive experiences. I definitely recommend her resume services!! read more

Mary is so professional and easy to work with. She did a masterful job of taking my experience from the education industry and applying it to the corporate world. I consider myself a well-educated person who communicates well, but Mary has a gift for the particular writing style that is required for effective resumes. I absolutely could not have crafted such an impactful document in this arena as she did. Her service and product was very much worth the expense! read more

Mary does excellent work! Quick and thoughtful responses, and she was skillfully able to rebrand my professional experience to clearly align me with the current market. Highly recommend!! You won't be disappointed!! read more
