I shelled out 3k so you don't have to…read more.. I haven't needed a resume nor been on a job interview for almost 10 years, and I was making a career change. I did need help, and for some reason I thought the more money I spent, the better assistance I would get. Not the case! First off, Resume Strategists charged me 3,000.00 for a resume, cover letter and linked in profile because they said I was "mid career". The resume process took about a month. The way they worded some of my accomplishments definitely sounded better than what I had originally. However, the overall result was that I sounded like the most lowest common denominator Office clone. I sent out about 20 of their version and got ZERO response. I then went over my resume and noticed that I had a history of collaborating with different teams to accomplish projects. I bumped up my summary and added some more details and got ONE response. Resume Strategists FAILED to quantify or qualify any of my accomplishments (I did that and they didn't even ask for numbers) and they FAILED to see a pattern of cross-functional team collaboration and highlight that in the summary. Some of the resume revisions I could tell hardly any thought went into them at all. The linked profile? what a joke, just a regurgitation of your resume. The cover letter - they give you one final version. Frankly, the cover letter sucked. It was, again, my resume regurgitated. And the "career counseling" - is the most average, basic info that is easily found by doing an internet search. They do not have any inside knowledge or cutting edge information. And in the final meeting, we barely got into the interview questions because we went over on time. Which they promptly stopped at the allotted time because they had someone else to price gouge waiting. You don't work with Alyssa, who is touted on their website. I never even met her. And they have very nice full floor office in midtown Manhattan. Now I know why the price is so high! Gotta meet that overhead for the swank office. Knowing all I know now, this is how I would approach writing my resume. Having an objective person or more than one person look at it is valuable. So I would go to Craigslist where there are tons of people offering resume-writing for around $50 and hire 4 of them that stood out to me. When I had the four versions, I would sit down, google search for relevant key words and create my own resume using the material I already had. Summary: Resume Strategists is NOTHING SPECIAL and NOT WORTH 3,000.00!

Capitalize on your assets!…read more We all have assets and accomplishments to feature and with Alyssa's help you'll get to the core of it. The time she spent working with me and talking through my career path, I not only ended up with terrific materials, but I was able to see my own value from a different perspective. With her experience, she transformed what had been a jumble of experiences into a well-articulated resume and cover letter. The experience has been a very positive one, as it has helped me further prepare for interviews. This gives me a greater confidence in my abilities and how I speak about myself. I am in the midst of relocating to the East Coast and there is no room for error in hitting my goal; this was not the time for a DIY effort. And frankly, DIY efforts have only netted mediocre results. At this point, with Alyssa's help, I have noticed an increase in traffic to my LinkedIn profile from searches and I have received very positive feedback about my updated materials (cover letter and resume).

What can I say other than John completely hit it out of the park for me and some! I am around 40…read moreand am a mid-senior level professional and since the pandemic I had deviated from the corporate sector a little and hired John to get to the next level of my career. More specially, my resume needed work as I was getting little to no response on LinkedIn. In all fairness, I have never really had to use a resume as I have always gotten jobs through my relationships. However, this needed to change to meet new market demands. I have also found writing them to be extremely difficult, somewhat artificial, and just gross. But John has a unique gift! After our one-on-one call in which we connected, John to my surprise and delight was able to not only come away with what I had done, where I currently am in my career and what I am looking to do but to also understand what all that meant together in its entirety. I have often struggled and I consider myself a pretty good communicator & writer with my resume. The balance of getting it all in, being specific but also general enough to make you the most marketable you can be for various roles. There is a fine line for anyone to express this but for John to so eloquently and dare I say almost effortlessly write me the best resume I have had! While it's all true and honest it made me feel good to read what I had done! I would hire me! John is a class act, a hard worker as I know he spent a lot of effort on making my resume shine like it did. I have not even spoken about the LinkedIn updating he did on my behalf and the cover letter. If his resume writing ability is an A+ then his linked in profile writing and enhancement and cover letter writing are A+ squared. I will always recommend John and Five Star Resume to all my friends and colleagues who need this service. I cannot believe that I found him after interviewing 3 people from proposals I received on LinkedIn. What a gift and I trust a relationship in which we will help each other for years to come.

Customer Service After submitting a short questionnaire I was contacted via email immediately by Annabel who answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Resume Writing I worked with David who was open, gracious and a great listener. He has worked in many facets of talent management so he knows what to highlight, how to write it and what approach to take. Despite having achieved quite a bit, I was unsure how to translate the value I bring on a resume in a way that connects with hiring managers. I spoke with David for 1 hour. He asked great questions. He heard me and CRAFTED a beautiful resume and cover letter. 24 hours after updating my LinkedIn I received an email from a recruiter. Im the most prepared and empowered for my job search than I ever have been.

So this review might be late, but I do feel that my experience can be a cautionary tale to those who are seeking help during a time of desperation. I reached out to Dana in Sept 2019. She made me feel like this would be a great investment. I filled out their questionnaire for the resume + cover letter + LinkedIn package, and paid $750ish. I asked to not be matched with Allison (no real reason, just a gut feeling.) Against my wishes, I was matched with Allison. I decided to give her a shot. (Big mistake! Always trust your gut!) We scheduled a call, she basically talked out of her ass by talking herself up, being vague, and saying things we already know about the computer systems sorting through our resumes. I gave her ALLLL of my information and she said she would send me the first draft within a week. A week later, no resume. No response to emails or phone calls. Two weeks later, I finally get my first draft with spelling errors AND information errors. In her email, she claimed she sent it a week prior and doesn't know why I didn't receive it. I told her all the corrections she needed to make. She said she would have it back to me in a week. A few weeks later, I finally got it back. It came back with just as many, but different errors. I ended up moving forward to the cover letter, and making my own corrections to my resume on my own because I was getting annoyed with her lack of proofreading, time management, and communication. I had the same issues with the cover letter and decided I was done. After 2 months of this, I did NOT want to continue to a LinkedIn update with her, even though I paid for it. She never reached back out to finish the job. She just disappeared. I was so pissed off by this experience, I just wanted to wash my hands clean from this and accept that I wasted $750+ on this. I decided to finally share this now because I'm back to looking for a new job and fixing up my resume, etc. and I hope my experience helps you invest in yourself, and turn to Google/YouTube searches instead of getting screwed over like I did.

I found Rebecca online and loved her logo and website- thought to myself; this is professional and by the looks of it, she knows how to brand herself. Resumes are about promoting your brand; she took my mundane resume and highlighted my accomplishments in both marketing and training. We spoke on the phone and communicated through email and she replied back almost instantaneously; if she didn't, she still replied the same day within a few hours. Now I'd been doing so much interviewing of other people in the past few years, I forgot what it's like to be the interviewee. Even before I paid Rebecca she sent me a worksheet of how to prep for an interview; most common questions, best ways to really examine your career and how to articulate who you are to the interviewer (sometimes we tend to over complicate or over think things, with this you do not- Much Thanks Rebecca!) In about a 2 days after she sent me the final copies of both my resumes and made some suggestions as what realistic positions to apply to; I got phone calls, did some interviews and found a job in about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks- I start next Monday!

Well you can trust her!
