Service was more expensive than others, thought this might indicate a better experience but it did…read morenot. The resume was worse than something I could have wrote myself. The only benefit I've seen from this is the formatting. Basically had to rewrite most of it, some of which was unintelligible. Before I did that, I did try using the resume with minimal edits to see if it was a good tool for just getting past algorithms, but I haven't received a single call back when using the lightly edited version. I will take some of the blame for this, I started looking into a new job when I signed up for this service & had already found a new job before they even contacted me because their service was so backed up. Because of this, I didn't thoroughly read the draft resumes when approving them (was busy with my new role), but I assumed there would at least be a baseline of professionalism I could build off of when I had to update it to reflect my new position. To be fair to me as well, they were supposed to have a follow up meeting with me to verify that I was satisfied with their service and that never happened. If you have decent writing skills, just do it yourself. If you really need help, don't use let's eat grandma.

Working with Hamza, he really helped me understand how to adjust the content of my resume and LinkedIn profile to 'sell' all the experience and skills I have to offer. You do get out what you put in - the more they have to work with, the better your resume will be! I started sending out resumes on Monday and already have two screenings lined up. I did have to take away one star because there were some formatting issues in my final documents - mostly words that did not have spaces in between them. There were enough that I wonder if there is a boarder issue is how they are finalizing and/or saving documents. I will share that when I circled back with Hamza (10 days after receiving the 'final' versions) he quickly sent me new, clean versions of all 8 documents.

Karen Wrigley is who I found when I went looking for a resume writer. She was FANTASTIC!! She sat…read morewith me for 2 hours to get to know me and looked over jobs I wanted to apply to. I was insecure about my qualifications, but after talking with her I realized I had a lot more to offer and add to my resume that I ever thought. I really thought she did a bang up job organizing everything and making it look sharp. As the first thing that most employers or head hunters look at, I thought it was a great representation of what I could offer. She was always available to answer my questions even after the resume was written. I really appreciated that after services care she offered. Not only did she write my resume (for a competitive cost I might add) but she also gave me so many tips for my job search. As someone who was laid off and had no idea what the current work force was like, I found Karen to be invaluable and completely worth every penny. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a resume writer, or someone who can prep you for an interview.

I hired Liz based on a recommendation and was excited upon our first meeting. During our initial…read moreconversation, She said everything that sounded perfect for a resume coach. However, her follow-through and words were empty promises. She told me she would get me all set up on LinkedIn, and then during the process, she informed me she couldn't do it because her browser remembers her password and wouldn't let her log in to LinkedIn to assist me. Her writing skill set needed to be updated; she didn't respond to me and failed to help me with LinkedIn. I would not recommend Liz; she is way overpriced and not worth the headache. I hired another person who was educated in ensuring keywords were present in my resume to get through the ATS screening process. Liz never even mentioned anything of the sort. Liz is a salesperson who needs to follow through and has questionable knowledge of current standards.

It pains me to write this review because Liz came HIGHLY recommended from several sources including…read morea personal friend, BUT the service I got was TERRIBLE. First, the website indicated that the price for a resume with less than 10 years of experience was $275 dollars. The price I was quoted was $400. Thinking this was a misunderstanding, I wrote Liz back saying I thought it would be $275. She stated she was changing her website and that her price was now set at $400. Understanding it can take a few hours to update a website and needing the perfect resume FAST I said that was OK, a bit high, but OK. The second issue came up with the deadline. We established a date 5 days ahead when the first draft would be available. 5 days passed. 6 days passed. On the 7th day I contacted Liz. I understand deadlines can be missed but at least TELL ME THAT! 5 days later I had my first draft. 12 days into the process. The first draft was HORRIBLE. She reworded the wrong resume (I sent her two so she had plenty of information to choose from as well as an example of what I did not want. She used the wrong one). Additionally there was information in the resume from ANOTHER CLIENT!!!! So we have the wrong resume, reworded and re-stylized (Exactly what I told her I did not want), with someone else's information, 7 days late. At this point I wanted a refund. There are no refunds given for her "service" and she assured me the resume would come out great after the interview process. The interview process was VERY GOOD. This is clearly where Liz shines. We talked for an hour and she identified some very crucial items from my job history. After the interview I received a new resume but only after I set the deadline. However it was still not what I expected. My job title is Support Engineer (A tier 3 support person). However 1/2 of my job is advocating for the client's position in the product development process. The other 1/2 is closing cases. I wanted the first half to shine and pop because I am trying to enter a product management / business analyst position. She could not do this nor understood what I meant. The resume also was 2 pages long which she assured me was OK and it did not have a Career Objective/What job do you want section. Again said this was OK and stated that is the job of the Cover Letter. So I wanted to see how the resume did. After 2 months of applying I have not had a single phone interview. I have written custom cover letters and used several internal connections to get my resume straight to the hiring manager. Also I was able to communicate with a couple of recruiters. I asked them about my resume. The first one said: "So you want to stay in tech support. Do you have UNIX experience? If so that definitely should be on your resume." Strike 1. The second recruiter immediately said: "You seem full of yourself when your resume is 900 words but you only have 4 years of experience" Strike 2. Various other recruiter friends said basically the same thing. You need a description of the job you want and you need to limit this to one page. OK, so I send Liz an email about what I heard back. According to the service if you are not satisfied contact her back and she'll keep at it up to 6 months after the initial resume. I have not heard back from Liz. Strike 3: you're getting a bad review. Summary: To me it seems Liz is very used to dealing with C-level people. She is very good at executive speak. However, she does not communicate effectively with her clients especially about expectations. If you say 5 days it better be 5 days or at least tell me you will be late. I felt she was way too busy to care about my resume. The fact that she used the wrong one and had OTHER PEOPLE'S information in my resume was a HUGE RED FLAG! The other fact that recruiters (The people who read resume's day in and day out) chewed up her work in a matter of seconds was another flag. The last fact, she assured me the resume would work despite my concerns, to me shows she is not used to working with non C-Level employees. In conclusion, if you are not a C-Level employee think twice. I definitely feel this service was not worth the $400 dollars I paid.

I paid extra for the "professional package" and added their LinkedIn resume service at the end of…read moreMay, aiming to complete a refresh of my 16+ year resume. 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.

I paid for the professional package. I had a 30-minute consultative call to discuss my existing…read moreresume and received a (very) rough first draft 3 days later. The first draft wasn't what I expected and I could tell that Executive Drafts and I were not aligned in terms of my expectations and what they could reasonably deliver. Yes, it's an iterative process, but the language, style, and substance of the resume was so far off from what I expected that I didn't necessarily want to proceed any further. I reached out to inquire about *potential* refund options. I was not expecting a full refund nor did I feel entitled to one, but I was curious what kind of refund options were available to me since services were only partially rendered. I reached out and no response. I followed up again the next day- no response. I had to send 3 follow-up emails over the course of 3 days and only then did I receive an acknowledgement of my initial inquiry. Definitely professionals at work here. The owner responded with a VERY lengthy e-mail and rather than acknowledge that Executive Drafts may not be a good fit for everyone's needs, he instead challenged my judgement of what a resume should and shouldn't be. He continued to say that most of the work was done and complete.. but then mid-way through the e-mail said that the first draft was only 50% complete and there was still work to be done to arrive at a fine-tuned final product. So... which is it? I responded, and guess what? No response. If you're looking for any semblance of professionalism, I would suggest you look elsewhere.
