Unfortunately, the writer that I got assigned refused to speak over the phone and would only correspond via email. The final product looked clunky, extreme busy and did not convey the story I was hoping. I was told I would also get a cover letter and Linkedin profile support. Never got a cover letter and she sent me a Linkedin tip sheet that I could have gotten from Linkedin. The writer was also eager to close out my service account and it just was not worth my time to continue to go back and forth. For the amount that I paid the service did not deliver. I got much better results from the AI resume tools available now for pennies in comparison. read more

Extremely pricey for just a resume - no cover letter, nothing - and apparently they assign you whomever is available, not someone specialized or with experience writing resumes for someone in your specific field. This is very shortsighted. If people are paying over $250 to get a resume re-write, give them someone who knows their field. The person assigned to me initially had less experience with writing than myself (and I'm a pro writer!) and once I explained I prefer someone with background in my field, she kind of gave me the "we know what we're doing" schpeel, then disappeared. I'd rather take my business elsewhere. read more

I worked with Linda who helped me with my resume that needed major updates and revisions as I hadn't worked on my previous one in nearly 20 years. She helped me put my practical experience as a business owner into words, and polished my thoughts into a coherent and attractive resume. I am very pleased and hope it eases my transition to a new industry. read more

I would definitely recommend this company and in particular Bridget C. I am extremely happy with the service that Bridget provided! I got the package that included a resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile and my end result is high quality, informative and aesthetically pleasing. I appreciated that Bridget conducted a thorough interview, asked thoughtful questions and provided knowledgeable feedback when needed. I didn't feel rushed through the interview and I felt that Bridget did a good job of working to capture me as an individual while presenting my career information in a manner that can be readily digested by potential employers in my industry. I am glad I made the investment in this service and will do it again if I need updates or different versions of my resume. read more

I'm relatively new to the workforce (5 years in the game!), and hadn't taken the opportunity to put together an awesome resume beyond whatever work I did in the Student Center while in college. I felt that it would be a worthwhile investment in myself and my future to hire someone professionally, and John did not prove me wrong in the slightest. I went into this process feeling insecure about my professional accomplishments/contributions, and didn't feel that my resume told a strong story of why I'm a worthwhile candidate for any position higher than the one I held. Over the course of a few phone conversations, John turned that all around. He made me feel great about the work I was currently doing, and showed me how to present it so that others would be excited about it as well. He literally takes raw information and does the work to turn it into a polished resume + cover letter that can be taken to any interview with confidence. Fast forward a year and a half later, and the absolute perfect opportunity for my professional growth slid across my desk. Thanks to John, I was already armed with a killer resume and cover letter, and landed an interview. A month later, I'm happily employed in my dream job! If you're waffling on whether or not to use his service, you absolutely owe it to yourself to go for it. His prices are affordable, especially when considering the eventual payoff in the form of a better job. read more

John from StandOut resumes did a fantastic job with my resume. Words can not express the exceptional and professional job he performed. He first laid out what standout resumes can do for me, the pricing, and the final product which is not paid for until I accept the resume. He was courteous and exceptional during the whole pre resume interview over the phone and during the rough drafts of the resume. I had told him I did go with another company for resume writing a couple years ago though I was not satisfied with them. I was reluctant in trying again....though now I'm so satisfied with the results he had done for me. He understood my needs and focused on every detail I described to him. If your looking for someone to help you and your resume needs please reach out to StandOut resumes you will not be disappointed. Thank you john!!!! read more

When I recently lost my job, I knew my resume needed a revamp. I talked to John about my work history, my duties, my skills and more and he created an awesome and beautiful new resume to send out to potential employees. He also checked back with me periodically about interviews, tips and more. I'm a reporter and editor and I know the competition is fierce but I got four major hits only a couple weeks after sending my resume out and am currently interviewing at all four. John has been so great -- very hands on and sincere -- and I highly recommend him. read more

It seems like other people have had a more positive experience than I did, so I'll avoid mentioning the name of the consultant I worked with. First, here's the good stuff. The phone interview is enormously helpful and is a great time-saver. The initial draft resume was of acceptable quality, and I was impressed by how effectively the consultant had reduced longer sentences into more concise, punchy statements. The resume template was clean and good-looking. Overall, I think the service is good value for money given how much time you're given to fix things, and that if you're struggling to get off the ground it gives you a good kickstart. Now for the meh stuff. I was disappointed by the quality of some of the grammar and writing that came back to me, and had to point out incorrect language use or wacky sentence structure in several cases. So be aware that you may have to proof with the eye of an eagle. I also wasn't thrilled by shallow excuses for not getting back within certain agreed timeframes or with certain deliverables. The cover letters were useless or worse, and the LinkedIn stuff was a basic copy-paste of the resume, although it was admittedly nice to have it all presented to me within a handy template. I appreciated the input and the initial help, but in the end, I reckoned it would be more efficient for me to finish the job myself. Would I use them again? I'm not sure. Maybe. read more

This is THE place to go if you need to redefine or create your resume. From the beginning I received excellent customer service and prompt responses from John. My resume was quickly assigned to Becca who spent almost 2 hours on the phone with me just to make sure she caught every little detail and aspect of my professional history. You could tell they really care. Within a week and a half of my initial contact, I had a resume I was proud to hand off to employers. I sought out StandOut Resumes, not to find a job, but to update my resume with my current work experiences. Within a month of updating my LinkedIn with remnants of the final product, I was contacted by a huge company and now I am moving to San Francisco! Throughout my 9 panel interview process, each person commented on different aspects of the resume that stood out. The format created for me easily allowed my new employer to identify my skills and abilities. I have referred multiple friends to Standout Resumes and am also in the process of getting my fiance's updated. I would never go anywhere else. The price is reasonable, the customer care is stellar, and the final product is untouchable. read more

I used StandOut services to have my resume redone. The basic package was a good deal, considering the prices I found by shopping around. My specific writer was a woman by the name of Joyce Yoo, eho did an excellent job highlighting my strengths and being quick with communication. I'd certainly recommend this to others. read more

I had a terrific experience working with Bridget as it was clear she spent a lot of time working on my resume and cared about the quality she put forth. I would highly recommend StandOut Resumes and will be using them in the future when it is time to update my resume. read more

Disclaimer: I have not used the finished resume to apply yet, so I cannot speak from experience if the product will land me a job. First of, my experience with John was pleasant. Customer Service was prompt and it went all pretty quick. He connected me with one of the resume writers, who he thought would be a good match. My experience with the resume writer itself was a-ok. Initially everything was great. She took a great amount of time interviewing me and asked questions to better understand the nature of my business. I felt at ease. I got the first draft within a week, which I thought was fine. As I made remarks and asked questions I could tell the writer was impatient and "just wanted to be done" with it. I didn't feel like I could ask questions why she was doing what she was doing because she made me feel stupid. The resume itself turned out to be fine as far as I can tell but even in the last draft there was a typo which I mentioned numerous times before. As a matter of fact, I sent over a Word document and tracked my changes, so all that was left to do was "accept the change" to fix it. I ended up giving up, and just accepted it. I can fix the rest myself. It was just disappointing because I shouldn't have to. read more

StandOut has Been a huge help to me in the last year. when I was laid off last january, John helped me build a better resume than I was ever able to do on my own. and although I landed somewhere faster than I expected, it was a seasonal opportunity, so when that ended i was searching again. we worked on my resume, and cover letter together, and it was invaluable to have the advise of an outside party. he helped me through the whole process, from the resume, to interview advise, and even salary negotiation.

Thank You Bridget and Thank You StandOut Resumes!!! read more

I was satisfied with my final resume, it was good to have an updated format. While at first I felt the process went great, with the interviews, however when it came time for the drafts of the resumes, I often found myself having to rewrite each version. I don't know if this was due to all of the communication with the drafts being over email and not a telephone. After about 3 rounds of going back and forth, I just took what was provided as final and added my additional color. read more

John is efficient and knowledgable. I was amazed by the final product. His customer service is fantastic! I felt like I was his only client. Although John is very professional, I felt like I was one of his friends. With John's help I was able to land the job I had been applying to for almost a year. Thank you, John! read more

The most important thing for her was creating a resume that helped bring to life my skills, experience and abilities in a way that would be able to effectively communicate towards potential employers. She did an amazing job and I am incredibly satisfied with how everything turned out. Thanks Bridget and StandOut Resumes! read more

Let me start off by saying this has been a great experience for me! Prior to me finding StandOut Resumes, I paid for a resume revision service through another company and although I communicated with this person on the phone, email, LinkedIn, and their professional website; they turned out to be scammers because after I paid them, I never heard back from them even though I called and emailed many times. I was horrified and completely disheartened until I came across StandOut Resumes and was able to communicate with John and Marjorie. It has been an amazing experience with them. John, worked with me to ease my concerns about payment and provided me a way to restore my faith in resume services. Marjorie has been amazing with my resume and the many revisions we are making. She is knowledgeable and asks questions to make sure she understands what your position does. She's helpful in making the resume standout with accomplishments and different criteria she believes will help make the resume better. I am definitely impressed so far and am enjoying the ease of making revisions that I have decided to get the upgraded package and update my LinkedIn. I hope to land my dream job because of their hard work on my resume. I will definitely make an update to this once everything has been completed, but let me say that you won't be disappointed with how professional and knowledgeable John and Marjorie are with resumes. read more

I was a bit skeptical about spending money on something I could probably do myself, but then I spoke with John at StandOut and realized that this services goes way above and beyond anything I could do. I was hooked up with my resume writer, Becca, who was amazingly helpful, friendly, and punctual. We had a few phone calls and she was really able to capture my skills in a way that I never could have. Not only is my resume well written, it's really attractive! I was able to help choose what it looked like and customize it and Becca did the rest. I highly recommend StandOut to anyone who is even thinking about revamping their resume. read more

Incredible. John took the time to work with me on numerous occasions through countless emails making sure I walked away with exactly what I needed. I am still currently employed so did not have immediate need but being in my current place of business for the past 6 years... I knew it was time to get ready for a career change. John helped me make two different resumes with corresponding cover letters based on the fields I was interested in pursuing. He had also taken the time to work on my Linkedin account and provided a very detailed slide show with points of interest on how to best look for positions. Top notch all around, I strongly suggest anyone and everyone that has not had a professional resume designed in the past ten years to reach out to StandOut Resumes.
