I purchased the Career Launch Kit for $899 from Your Next Jump (YNJ), along with a cover letter for an additional $100. While I appreciated the professionalism in communication, the overall experience fell short in several important ways. First, there was minimal human interaction throughout the process. At no point did anyone take the time to understand my unique career goals--whether I was repositioning myself for a new industry, returning to the workforce after a break, or targeting a specific type of role. The service felt highly templated and lacked the strategic depth I expected from a career consulting company. They did want me to submit two job opportunities, to get an understanding of the roles I wanted to apply to, but by the time YNJ completed their services, those roles are obsolete. YNJ emphasizes their move toward AI- and tech-driven solutions, but this focus seems out of sync with recent hiring trends and feedback from recruiters nationwide, who have voiced growing concerns about the authenticity and accuracy of AI-generated materials (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/business/dealbook/ai-job-applications.html?smid=url-share). Unfortunately, that disconnect was evident in the documents I received. They don't need to be experts in every field, but there's a noticeable lack of industry knowledge that makes it difficult for them to highlight critical, role-specific functions. Drafts were returned with errors--including incomplete sentences and exaggerated or unclear claims--so I had to carefully review everything to avoid misrepresenting myself. Revision times of 24-48 hours (even for minor edits) created unnecessary delays in my job search. And conversations with Tim felt rushed and surface-level; I was never fully confident that my feedback was truly understood or applied. I did call YNJ to discuss these concerns before posting this review, but they did not respond, I'm assuming it is because they already received their payment. I had roughly five different hiring managers review their work, and none were impressed. While the general template that they utilize is unique to their services and adds a splash of color amid the monotonous pile of resumes, nothing really stands out. In the end, Your Next Jump's work may serve as a basic starting point, but if you're a professional with a nontraditional background, transitioning industries, or aiming for mid-to-senior level roles, you'll likely need to invest significant time refining their drafts yourself--or seek more strategic, personalized support elsewhere. read more

I have never wrote a review before but feel obligated to due to my experience. I purchased the Job Search essential package for fixing up my resume and I have to say I am incredibly disappointed with the service. They didn't bother trying to understand my job or what career I am looking for and basically just copy and pasted my previous resume but in a different template. The very few changes they made were sentences that were incoherent, repetitive (used the same sentence several times throughout the resume), and full of typos. No amount of "unlimited back and forth between the writer" is going to salvage poor and lazy writing. You're better off saving your money and doing it yourself or passing it through ChatGPT (which I am pretty sure they are doing anyways). The 5/5 star reviews for this company are clearly purchased/bots. Christina J.'s review is spot on for the experience read more

I was told by owner I would have phone conversations with writer. That never happened. Final product had misformating and misspelling of words. Spent over $300 for not a good quality of work. read more

I have used Your Next Jump for two successful job transitions. In both cases, I secured a new role with a higher salary and better benefits. I am confident that you will find value in working with Your Next Jump. The team is experienced, timely, and extremely helpful throughout the process. If you have any questions about my experience, I would be happy to vouch for Your Next Jump and speak highly of their work. read more

My experience with Your Next Jump Resume Service is 5 Star!!! Tim, Andrea, and the entire staff have a clear and concise plan for your resume . They reviewed my Three page resume and reduced it to two pages. All of the important information was kept, and their resume layout is the most impressive I have seen in 10+ years. The staff at Your Next Jump worked with me over a month to perfect my resume, and my LinkedIn page. I went from getting zero reviews of my LinkedIn page to at least 19 new reviews every week. I have been contacted by internal recruiters from several big companies . Merck, Aztra Zeneca, and ProMedica are just some of the companies that have contacted me since I have used Your Next Jump Resume Service. Your Next Jump Resume Service is a superior resume writing service. Thank you Tim and staff. Eric J read more

I was hesitant to participate in a quick phone consultation regarding my resume knowing that it isn't up to par after being in a position for quite some time. That's exactly why we use these services, right?! I was able to quickly and easily schedule the consultation with Tim Lo. He was awesome. He reviewed my resume ahead of time, gave me some quick pointers that boosted my confidence to have the resume that I needed to help me make my next jump. Next up, coaching services? Timmmm! read more

I decided to do somewhat of a last minute appointment with Tim and couldn't have been more pleasantly happy with the way things went! Tim is incredibly punctual and organized. He spoke with me in a professional manner but not in a demeaning way either. I'm personally not the best at creating well-written resumes and coordinating my thoughts and experiences cohesively on paper but his templates and approaches make sense. I truly don't think I've ever had such a beneficial and productive 15 minute conversation with a stranger before. He answered all my questions clearly and reassured me in how the changes I could make would impact my ability to not necessarily always "land that job" but to at least have that credibility and recognition to an employer that I was deserving of that opportunity. Although my experience overall went very well, I do have to say that we didn't cover some small details that make my resume stand out more so in a health-care related field. Still, I was very pleased with how everything went. This would definitely benefit anyone seeking new employment or those who just need another opinion on their resume. read more

Resume writer did not have very good communication and also did not understand the area I work in nor was help in re-writing the resume. The final product that I received had errors. This part of the process needs much improvement. read more

I've had a great experience so far with YNJ. They exceeded my expectations in providing valuable insight and personal input about my resume and career goals. I scheduled a 15 minute phone consultation and I could tell that Tim (one of the co-founders) really took the time to look through my resume and tell me what I need to work on. He called me promptly at the scheduled time and gave me advice I considered golden because I had never thought about the fact that my resume was reading more like a job description instead of answering the "so what" question. This short experience alone was enough to convince me that they can help drive a successful career for me in the future. YNJ has professional writers who can reorganize and rewrite your resume if you're interested. I think the cost is worth it because they really make you stand out in a sea of 1,000's of resumes. Employers want to grab important information fast so if your resume was convoluted like mine, they can help you adjust and feel confident about the material you've included. They also offer photography for your LinkedIn profile because these days, employers will probably search for you through linkedin so you may want to ditch the unprofessional picture (that I had in my torn jeans). Now I feel pretty! You should upgrade your competitive edge by using their provided services because you will get results you are looking for. I know I did! read more

One word comes to mind when I think about the people and services I received at Your Next Jump. Grateful. The biggest fallacy you'll face during a job hunt is the belief that employers are in charge of the process. They're not. YNJ taught me from beginning to end the importance of taking ownership of my story. Through each consultation, call, email, revision, I learned how to take charge of my interviews, certain pitfalls to avoid, and tailoring my story with a clear end goal in mind. The result? - I received an offer every time I spoke to a hiring manager. - I increased my base salary three times. This was all because of their process. They listened, understood the potential pain points within my resume and job history, and turned it into something not only palatable, but of immense value. That's the key. Towards the end of my job search, not only did I land a role in a new industry I was hoping to pivot into (management consulting), but I gained the belief that my skills are something to be celebrated. Thanks YNJ for turning a new leaf in my life and for getting me a job where I'll thrive for years to come. read more

How can a company have so many 5-star reviews? It seems a little over-the-top! Well... My review is long overdue. I used Your Next Jump (YNJ) in November shortly after deciding to retire from the federal government. At the time, I had a 14-page monstrosity of a resume and no LinkedIn page. I contacted YNJ and hired them to to help me. YNJ's process was thorough and timely. My resume was polished to two pages of well written information that was designed to make me standout among 100's of other resumes. My LinkedIn page was created to be be imperfect sync with my resume and included a professionally done headshot. Both the resume were designed to perform well in searches so that recruiters would be able to find me. So what was the punch line? I just completed my first week at a job that pays 100 times more than YNJ's service charges. I woulds not have been able to land this job without YNJ's help. How is that for a return on investment? I would use them again and will use them in the future. read more

I was looking to do a pivot in my career from information technology to project management. I sent YNJ the announcement for the detail I was interested & they revamped my resume & Linked In profile. My resume & profile look amazing! As a result, I was selected for a 1 year assignment as a project manager. I'm so excited! read more

As a career civil servant considering a move to the private sector, I had no idea where to start. My resume and job-hunting skills have always been tailored to the federal hiring process, which is fairly divergent (or so I've learned with help from YNJ's experts) from the norms in the commercial sector. I came across YNJ in a search for a firm that could help me make my "next jump." I had a 15-min consult with Tim, the business owner, to kick off the YNJ process. In just 15 mins, Tim gave me confidence and hope that I could successfully make this scary transition. Tim then linked me up with his staff of resume writers, who took my federal resume and, in a couple rounds of editing, turned it into a modern, polished, hard-hitting product tailor-made for cutting through today's HR screening processes. The editing process was pretty painless; the YNJ writers used my existing resume and solicited additional data from me to fill in the gaps. The YNJ staff kept me involved every step of the way and guided me to gather the right info necessary to create a relevant product. I also appreciated the promptitude with which the team operated, and the fact that they politely request the same from their clients -- when searching for a job, time is critical and these folks do not let the process languish. They keep the editing process moving crisply along so you can get your resume fast and start applying. I'm glad I found Tim Lo and his YNJ team. I'm excited and hopeful for my future career and YNJ has been a big part of this move. The service they offer is a great value. read more

Wow! "Your Next Jump" is such a great resource for editing your resume to perfection! They analyzed my resume prior to our call and really personalized the feedback to my expertise and field. I appreciate their tips and constructive feedback as well as the examples they sent via email. With their help, I am confident I can create a resume worth reading. Their services were professional, trustworthy, nonjudgmental, and responsive - all qualities that I really value. 10/10 Recommend! read more

Just want to put it out there this review is solely based on a short 15 minute consultation over the phone call for resume help. I talked with Tim, the founder. He's a really smart person and gave me some great pointers on how I could improve my resume and make myself more competitive in the job market. I would like to see the event be open to people next time, so I can hear what some others have for questions, but I also like that it was a very tailored experience for me. I look forward to Your Next Jump coming to Los Angeles soon, and hopefully I can attend another one of your career building events. read more

I am so impressed with the services I received from YNJ. The team is professional, trustworthy, thorough, patient, informative, nonjudgmental, and responsive. I am currently in the job market, and met YNJ at a Yelp event. Resumes are extremely personal, and I have always been skeptical of paying a third party service to revamp my resume/linkedIn. I think feedback is important, so I had already been using numerous free services: professional recruiter friends, my University alumni center, linkedIn and free professional services provided through the county/ state. In the last 6 months, I had become quite an expert on the different services available, and without a doubt, I can say that Your Next Jump is in a league of their own. Their feedback was personal and thoughtful, and unlike any other service I had used before. Plus they taught me lessons that I can use in the future. Since most of our communication was done via email, it could have been easy for them to read my messages, and become defensive, but they never did. My emails were long streams of consciousness, but they didn't miss any details. They were clear at communicating, thorough in explanations, and patient in their approach. I never felt rushed. They sent me 4 drafts of my resume, before providing the final copy. Each draft included feedback and answers to my questions, so I can continue to make minor adjustments for each job application. I am extremely grateful for their services, and would without a doubt, recommend them 100%. read more

I worked in the radio field. I got my resume redone because I wasn't getting many call backs and really wanted a new job. I asked if they had any success within this industry. They indicated to me they were unsure due to lack of clients updating them on the progress. I'm here to provide the update. They aren't good with this area. I used their service back in 12/2022. I still don't have a new job and not one call back from anyone in the industry or any industry for that matter. It's pure crickets. In my opinion it's better to format your own resume. I had better opportunities when I did it myself. I definitely regret this purchase. Their tips weren't useful either. Ultimately its about getting a job and that was not accomplished. read more

They really understand résumé writing and how to make you stand out in a competitive job market. They took my résumé that read like a job description, and made it a compelling marketing tool. Within a few days, multiple recruiters started reaching out. Highly recommend! read more

Working with Your Next Jump was the best decision I made as I began to consider a career move. My resume was a never-used mess, but with the team at YNJ's help, I was able to land the perfect job in an incredibly short amount of time. The reworked resume got my foot in the door, and without it, I would not be in the position I'm in today. On TOP of that, Tony's guidance and encouragement throughout the job search and interviewing processes were crucial in bolstering my confidence and learning modern approaches to landing a new job. The team at YNJ is not only skilled in their craft. They genuinely care about the people they work with and will walk with you step-by-step through what is otherwise a typically lonely endeavor. Highly recommend! read more

Do you ever go through those times where you think that you're never going to get out of that rut? I know I was there for the longest time-I can't even remember the last time I felt as secure in who I am as a professional, in my abilities as a professional, and in my resume as I do after having my resume & LinkedIn profile redone by YNJ. Throughout my time working with them, I had emails sent to me from Ellim & Tim, & it was a joy working with both. YNJ was so patient & understanding throughout the entire time as I had different personal emergencies & work scheduling conflicts impede the speed of this whole process. I have never worked with a company so understanding & patient as YNJ. This is not a company out for money--this is a company that actually cares about the people it's helping & wants the people to succeed. After having my resume redone, I've never received so many emails and hits on my resume/skills. Even if some of the inquiries are for positions in which I'm not interested any longer, it still opens doors that always seemed to be closed previously. In summation, if you want to revamp your brand and how you come off to recruiters/companies, take a stab with YNJ. You won't regret the investment! read more

I got the resume package and the finished product was deserving of this long-winded post. Background: I was not in the market for career-help or a new job, I won the resume builder from a raffle id blindly threw my hat in for. Tbh I was more intrigued than excited by the service id stumbled on; my college alumni offers resume edits (glacial pace) and when I used to scour indeed & find a time sensitive post I defer to my coterie of whip-smart friends to review my resume/written products. The process: Immediately, I was contacted by YNJ staff assigned to my case with the owners- copied in the email. She requested; current resume, blurb (2 paragraphs) about me, 2 job postings that interest me. I was surprised by the constant stream of communication. Drafts: First draft, only thing reminiscent of my original resume was the job title/date,had a striking modern layout, crisp sentences, effective action verbs. They worked through 3 drafts to get my final resume. Every section had edits (tracked comments bar) requesting clarification or information. I had to ply her with information.They responded back with updated drafts 1-3days. In total, took no more than 2 weeks...I dilly dallied a lot on the responses. Takeaway/Tips: an engaging, highly personalized resume! I love the layout- seizes you in without being too showy. Although I haven't tested it in the job market, i've showed it off to coworkers and friends off all ages/stylistic taste and they love it. I suggest you allot time to self-evaluate your achievements in your previous roles and to ask questions! I got to eager and gave some regrettable responses (but I can easily edit since they instructed me on the flow/content choice) and didn't ask questions on the strategy behind the omission of certain previous positions so you don't look back 1month later wondering why (like me, now) I think its strange that none of the reviews are mentioning the price tag, if you're looking for a career change, a hurdle/goal are finances. I used to consider this outsourcing my University/friends debts to me lol! But after going through the process, I know it makes a world of a difference to have real professionals with that mix of marketing/English/recruitment know-how. Sorry Yelp, i'm not posting a photo of my resume :) read more

When in the job market it's always good to have people to help who are just as focused and goal-oriented as you are. This is a full-service business who can review your resume, prepare you for job interviews, and help you burnish your social media profiles. I would absolutely feel comfortable working with them in future job hunts as well. read more

I needed to onboard ASAP and Thomas Schweitzer streamlined the process and was friendly helpful prompt and professional and great responsible follow up too read more

I was looking to relocate and change jobs. I decided to have my online and professional presence enhanced by using the services from Your Next Jump. I purchased a career launch kit and a 1.5 hour interview prep session. Within one business day after I had submitted payment, Tim and Tony got the ball rolling. Despite me working in a highly niche and specialized field, Tim and Tony were able to able to re-craft my resume to really make my accomplishments shine. After a few review sessions of my resume and LinkedIn profile to make it perfect, I had the Google hangouts call to go over how to effectively use LinkedIn, which was extremely informative. Then came the interview prep session. This was perhaps the most useful hour and a half I spent preparing for interviews. Tony went over everything from the obvious do's and don'ts to the more subtle topics such as body language, pace of speech, etc. We also went over how to answer the most common interview questions confidently, several of which appeared during my real interview, which I knocked out of the park. I came with about 15 questions/concerns, and every single one was addressed. Then, when I got the final offer, even though YNJ had finished the services they were obligated to provide, they went above and beyond by helping me through the salary negotiation process, ultimately leading to a salary that I was very happy with. $1000 is a bit of an upfront expense, but you get what you pay for, and it was a drop in the bucket compared to the return on my investment from my career advancement. The YNJ team did an absolutely incredible job! read more

When one is contemplating a career jump, pouring through position descriptions and trying to match that to your resume and experience can be daunting. I am so glad a friend recommended Your Next Jump to me. Hiring a professional resume consultant was not at the top of my head when I was planning for a career change, but it could not have been a better decision. From the beginning to end, the YNJ consultant worked with me to hone in on my skill sets and experience, and challenged me to bring out the best that I had offered in my years of professional experience. My consultant was cordial in her communication and given my situation of a definitive deadline, tried to be prompt as best as she can. I would highly recommend YNJ if you are considering a career change, or if you have a static resume that needs major refresh/improvements. NOTE: I would recommend creating enough time and space to work on your resume, as there will be several drafts exchanged. This means you should definitely plan ahead and not rush through this process. I know I would have been nervous if I had a tight deadline and had not given myself at least 2 weeks to revise and finalize my resume. read more

I had a great experience working with YNJ. I didn't know what to expect going into the process, but was really pleased with the outcome. It was super easy to communicate about my resume with their feedback/comments/questions via email and I liked how they incorporated details that I had overlooked. They really made me examine my experiences to highlight milestones and achievements. My resume and LinkedIn look great now and that professional photo was necessary! Thanks to everyone at YNJ! read more

As I prepare to enter the next step in my career, I have to thank Tony so much for his candid advice to me. I was scared of taking new steps and moving outside of my comfort zone but Tony really helped me see things in perspective and it allowed me to walk into my interview with confidence in myself - no matter the outcome! I got more than career counseling from Tony, in fact I felt listened to, cared for, inspired, and ultimately, mentored! I cherish the relationship that has grown through our interactions together and I highly recommend anyone to this service! read more

I was leaving a company I had been at for 9 years, my resume was horribly out of date and I needed some serious guidance on navigating the job market. YNJ did a great job with communication, I was able to provide detailed edits on my own timeline and my resume came out great. I got a new job with 20% higher pay at a major company within just a few months and I attribute it to my resume getting through all the HR robots and hitting all the key words. I can't recommend this service enough! read more

The resume writer and the team did an outstanding job. Various details were addressed and in the end, this issued great results. I was very impressed with my rough draft. I could have never written a better resume. I highly recommend the service! read more

I used YNJ to prepare for the dreaded Oral Assessment to join the Foreign Service at State Department. I bought the 90-minute interview prep. From the beginning Tony was responsive and prompt. He listened carefully and understood everything I told him. He looks very young (and probably is) so that threw me off when we met, but don't let that deter you. Tony knows his craft very well - he was well-prepared; he had studied my resume and my application; he was engaging and energetic; he was well-dressed; and most importantly, he was an excellent communicator. He made good use of time - we started working from the first minute and did not deviate until we were done. We went through the preparation process and developed a great story. He gave me lots of helpful advice that I will use for a long time. I recommend Tony and Your Next Jump...it's worth the money. I aced my interview and got a conditional job offer. read more

I'm so so happy that I had a consultation with Tim when I did. I'm on the search for a job for my move to Washington state, and the 15 minute conversation changed everything I knew. Prior to my phone call, I was asked to submit my resume. The first question that was asked was what kind of position I was looking for, and then we talked about the upgrades that I needed to do on my resume and the reasons behind it, so that I can have a better understanding. As a teacher I really loved the exemplar of how a resume should look like. Even after the phone call, I received a template for the resume via email, and my resume has gotten a whole new upgrade that I'm sure helped me get an interview for this position that I really wanted. Thank you! Highly recommend! read more

I made the mistake of going to another resume writer and I got a dense resume. Then I speak to my girlfriend and she tells me about Your Next Jump and I go onto their website and I'm truly intrigued. Then, I set up the 10 minute phone conversation and I'm blown away from the interaction with Tim. I'm speaking to someone who gets it and gets me. They have been with me the whole time from resume writing to Linked In bio update and even the picture. I am impressed with their service and how they want questions. When they send you a draft they want you to read and make changes or approve quickly. Because time is ticking and you want to present your best self. To give your resume to strangers is not an easy thing and they made me so comfortable. I did my head shots today and it was professional. I do not know of a resume writing service that offers resume writing, Linked In bio updated and interview tips. They are covering the whole gambit, from A to Z. Thank you, YNJ!!!!!!! read more

I appreciated the opportunity to chat with Tim and get feedback on my resume. I was initially hesitant at the 15 minute consultation but Tim was professional and jumped straight in. He gave insightful feedback on editing my resume, including giving ideas that I had not considered before. He answered my questions and gave me some great next steps. Definitely would recommend! read more

This is an amazing service. I was recently laid off and freaking out - during my job search I was getting calls from prospective employers but when it came to interviewing I would just bomb consistently. As an introverted and soft-spoken person it's really tough for me to try and "sell myself" to complete strangers in 30 minutes. Ugh. I would physically shake out of fear before an interview because I had zero confidence in talking about myself. I visited a hundred websites to try and beef up my interviewing skills. They had a lot of good tips but I still wasn't presenting well and I was too geeked out to practice in front of my friends. So I found YNJ online. I don't think interview prep is one of their specialties but I was desperate and hit them up. I told them the situation, they understood, and created a custom package for me to have a one-on-one session with them. It wasn't a mock interview, but more like going over the specific parts of an interview - how to start off strongly with your elevator pitch, figuring out what the employer is looking for and how to tailor your stories to make you look smart, correcting my too-casual stories to sound more professional, etc. It was really helpful. I took a lot of notes to be honest. They helped me strategize how to present myself so I didn't sound like a dunce all the time. I'm still not great at interviewing. But at least I don't feel the fear that I used to. It did take a lot of practice on my part to look and sound calm while talking to employers, lol. This was helpful, and I'm glad I went. Thank you guys. read more

Had a great cal this evening with Timothy! He reviewed my resume and gave me great tips on what employers are looking for. Having been in the same role for almost 12 years I often get discouraged when applying for positions. He gave me a quick pep talk about not not selling myself short. I'm looking forward to updating my resume with the pointers the team provided. Hopefully, this lands me a great job! read more

Spoke with Tim for a quick 15-minute consult of my resume. If you work with them, be sure to provide your resume up front (I did) and they are able to give you actionable feedback. I appreciate that he was constructive with his comments and they even provide templates that you can view together during the call for reference. I will definitely take these comments and apply them to my next resume revision. read more

So being laid off during this Covic-19 time, I welcomed the assistance to get back on my feet. My resume had been getting lots of attention and success b/c of my experience but I realized it could be better. I did one revision myself but Your Next Jump, really took some of the changes I started to make and brought it to the next level. Providing actual templates for different types of jobs was great. There were three areas that I was unsatisfied with in my current resume and they had pointers for each without me guiding them at all. I'm going to revamp it based upon their input, utilizing their templates. I'm sure that the 2.0 version is going to be even more successful, but I almost dread the success b/c of having to schedule all the calls. I've been on the phone continually for several weeks...now if only I could close one soon. read more

YNJ provided me with job search tips, professional LinkedIn Profile advice, and resume writing help. I received many positive comments from employers about my resume, 15+ interviews, and 2 conditional offers. I was even able to negotiate a bigger sign-on bonus. Tony is one of the smartest people I have met and he understands the job market very well. He knows exactly what HR professionals scan for when they filter resumes, which put my resume at the top of the pile. I started my job search with Tony about 4 months ago and he stayed with me throughout the entire process. I was in school at the time and it was tough to balance job searching with homework assignments. He would check in weekly to keep me motivated and provide helpful advice. read more

Tony has been an extremely influential figure in helping me shape my career goals and direction. He has the natural skillset that has enabled him to be an excellent mentor to both younger and more experienced professionals. Having only been in the work force for a couple years, I had plenty of questions about what I wanted out of my career and what I wanted to do. I knew the current position I was in was not what I wanted to do long term. Through many conversations, Tony quickly understood my passions, and helped me create some career objectives based on them. He consistently motivated me to push up my career timelines in order to achieve my career goals faster. Tony has not only been a great mentor, but he has become a great friend. He truly cares about each and every person he works with and wants to see the best for them. Through my relationship with Tony, I finally had the confidence to leave my "comfort zone" at the job I started at after college. Tony did an amazing job reviewing my resume and helping me prepare for the interviews. Both went extremely well and I was hired within two weeks of sending my resume to them. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for career help. Specifically, if you are newer to the workforce, Tony is amazing at relating to your experiences and helping you chase after what you truly want out of your career! read more

I needed advice and direction on where to start my career transition into corporate business and Your Nexr Jump was very helpful in guiding me there. read more
