    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.

    Alexa was very helpful and easy to work with. She gave me the inspiration I needed to believe there…read morewould be a better fit out there for me, and helped me evaluate my interests and preferences to narrow down what really mattered to me. When a job opportunity came along that fit those preferences, I knew it was the right move to take it. Also, I will never have to redo my resume again -- it is in an awesome template that will be easy to refresh. It is always hard to say where a job will come from, and when, or how you got there, but Alexa provided the tools I needed to dive into the job search and find a good fit.

    I love Abe Young's Beyond Words Writing Workshops. They are a high point of my week…read more Abe has a gentle, comforting energy and provides a warm, supportive atmosphere for her writers to grow and be challenged. Abe usually starts with a check-in, then a poem that inspires a number of writing prompts. Then we are given 45 minutes to write, and we have the option to share our writing with the group. She also provides tea and snacks! The last few weeks of the session are set aside for feedback on longer pieces of writing you may be working on outside of the workshop. This is not a critique group per se, but it is a chance to share your work and receive general feedback. I highly recommend Abe's workshops for any poet or prose writer who is seeking a safe and supportive place to share work and be inspired.

    From the owner: I offer writing workshops, writing coaching and editorial services in Austin, TX:…read more -For accomplished writers who want community, energy, feedback & weekly structure -For promising new adult writers who want to explore, focus, and craft their practice -For nonprofits, schools, and businesses that want increased creativity and closer community 1) Workshops Writing workshops are generative, small and multi-genre.

If you work with executive drafts, ask for Shylah. She was very sweet, understanding that I took forever to respond due to work constraints, and was quick to reply back with updated drafts.

    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.
