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.

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.

I had the most positive experience with Ron and his Writer's Workshop!…read more About a year ago, I had the awesome privilege of hosting 7 very talented and wonderful people that I manage for work in Austin for a week of brainstorm, team building, and educational sessions. The memories made during our writer's workshop will be will cherished forever. It provided an opportunity for us to share our writing strengths all while allowing ourselves to be a little vulnerable, too. Ron was not only highly professional, he was thorough, prompt, and kind, too. Unsure what a writer's workshop would entail, I wasn't so much hesitant as I was curious, but also a tad anxious as my respect as a manager was hanging in the balance. As a new manager to these aforementioned, wonderful people I wanted them to explore their creativity, but also have a positive experience as a newly formed team with a new manager. And thanks to Roy and his workshop they did. We still talk about this workshop...not so much about what we wrote about, but how it made us laugh.

You don't have to do anything but show up for a couple of hours, and you will find yourself transforming your blank page into stories that you can't believe came from your pen. No critics, no judgement, no expectations or word counts - only the joy of creating with some really fun and interesting people. Writing workshop is a highlight of my week, and one of the reasons I never want to leave Austin. I was afraid I wasn't good enough to hang with "real" writers, but I'm so glad I decided to try it. So happy he's added a south Austin workshop too!

So, I'm not exactly sure how you get on her schedule. If you don't like being jerked around, or are in any kind of a hurry, don't waste your time. She apparently has more business that she can handle.
