I took my time selecting a service to rewrite my resume, knowing there are many options out there…read more I worked with both Dia and Donna throughout the process. One thing I wish I had known beforehand is how important it is to have a clear idea of the specific type of role you're targeting before starting the resume process. During a job search--which can be incredibly stressful and uncertain--I didn't feel that my experience or challenges were fully understood or acknowledged. Navigating a job search takes strategy, reflection, and support, and unfortunately, I didn't feel there was much empathy offered throughout this process. If I could do it over again, I would work with a career coach first to gain clarity and direction, before investing in resume services like this one."

I engaged Personal Touch Career Services in September 2019 to get them to review and tweak my…read moreresume. they had been recommended by a friend. I paid my $498 and they did what they do, changes were made etc, and before long I was sending my resumes and letters were being sent out but I got zero response. I still didn't feel it was saying the right things the right way for my industry so a few more changes were made but I had the same lack of results. I stepped away, changed a few things myself and sent it to people direct and I got a better response and even some work. I chalked the money spent, at a time when I couldn't really afford it, and the experience I had up to it being 'just one of those things' that don't work out for me and my situation and I moved on. Not long after I got a year long contract as well as some other work (but that was through my work in general, a recommendation, and my self-tweaked resume). With both their resume and the one I did, I got very little pick up via job ads. Flash forward to late 2020 and PTCS reach out to get feedback on the service I received. I explained how it hadn't worked for me and I had drawn a line under it, and we set up another consultation. I also provided copies of the current resume I had made. Donna, who is lovely, ran tests and gave me the results, and that was kind of it as 90 day options had long run out. The most significant advice I got was to open a Jobscan account/subscription and read chapter 11 of the book I got as part of my package. Should I have gone back again within the 90 days? Maybe, but I wanted to draw a line under it and try a different approach (which included getting industry friends to input on my resume). All I know is that while Personal Touch Career Services have been great for some people, and I'm delighted that's the case, working with them didn't get results for me. Also, if you're reaching out after 90 days to get feedback and offer help and the main response is, 'We can't do what we could have done because it's after 90 days,' that doesn't feel like the best result to offer. It certainly won't make me look at giving PTCS more of my money. They might work for you, they're certainly nice people to deal with, but for someone working in journalism and production for over 25 years, it didn't bear fruit in my case.

The cover letter was a definite one- way ticket to disqualification in tech, Most of all, my position itself was not understood by the writer and my position title was written incorrectly throughout the resume. The powers of MS Word can help fix that, but I think I paid for someone else to do it. I showed the completed version to my friend, a recruiter, and she said to scrap it and start over. I called Resume Footprint and explained the problem I had, and I was essentially met with an answer like "Oh, sorry. We will keep that in mind. Please understand that we can provide updates to your resume for year at a discounted rate." I am sure this company wants to do a good job, but what they sold me was something that may work for someone starting their career. I am 20 years into my career and what I received is not a means for me advertise myself.

I discovered ResumeZest when I was searching specifically for a resume service for the project…read moremanagement industry. They were one of the more affordable options who were still highly rated. In the past I tried other resume services, but ResumeZest has absolutely been the best to work with. They are absolutely professional and efficient with their process to ensure your needs are met by a professional in your field with resume writing expertise. Shortly after purchasing the resume service from their website, I was immediately contacted by their Director of Resume Writer Services, Lindsey Duston, with questionnaires so they can best connect me to the resume writing professional of my field. If you have an existing resume, you can send that over as a starting point or you can fill out an extensive document to help them get you basic info. They also asked for a few job titles you are interested in, and well as a few job postings that you are targeting. The overall answers provides their team a good understanding of your career goals so that you can be assigned to the appropriate resume writer. I provided my prior resume, details about recent achievements, and all of the things they asked for in their questionnaire. I was quickly connected to Emily Ellis, who has over 13 years of resume writing experience for the project management field. I really love Emily. She is intelligent, knowledgable and a great listener. Prior to our meeting, she already cleaned up my resume and incorporated the changes I mentioned. She added a lot of great questions to make my achievements more quantified and she fleshed out things where I had a personal connection to a line but it was not necessary for my field. It's funny because I always help my friends and family with their resumes, but it's always good to get some impartial feedback from a fresh set of eyes. In this case, I found someone who really nailed my resume. She knew key words and terms that hiring managers in our industry looks out for. Best of all the format by ResumeZest ensures your resume will easily pass Application Tracking System (ATS) scans. After about 4 revisions I was beyond proud of my new resume. I appreciated Emily's skills and patients with all of my heart. This resume is truly a game changed! Emily also provided me a guide to best change things up on my resume according to different job postings to adapt to what each company is looking for. Worth ever penny and beyond! I would definitely be interested in hiring ResumeZest again in the future if I have major changes to make. It's always good to have a fresh pair of eyes. They also have other services for cover letters, linkedin optimization, professional bio, thank you letters and more. I am definitely interested in those services in the future and if possible I will be requesting for Emily's professional and impactful services.

Riskily incompetent for those wanting professional resume guidance…read more Writing this to help/warn people who are hopeful about this service before they consider purchasing. I invested $378 in ResumeZest for their resume and LinkedIn package, hoping to streamline my job search in the tech space while pressed for time/energy. Unfortunately, the experience was fraught with issues that undermined my confidence in the service and ultimately led me to cut my losses even after giving them feedback about the experience. From the outset, the responses and changes provided by the service often did not address my specific concerns. Despite my and peers of mine's extensive experience in hiring processes and consultations with HR professionals, recruiters, and industry advisors, my writer ignored my insights, relying instead on their credibility and experience in resume writing. This rigid approach was particularly frustrating when my feedback was either ignored or met with dismissive pushback. Additionally, my request to retain Word comment threads (suggested by them to track feedback) was disregarded, as my unresolved comments got removed in the final drafts. The service exhibited a troubling inattention to detail. Multiple grammatical errors persisted through revisions, and there were inaccuracies in my educational background and work history, such as a missing minor and incorrect employment dates. Compounding these issues was my writer also addressing me by someone else's name in the introductory message. Moreover, the resume contained numerous terms and skills inauthentic or irrelevant to my background despite the thoughtful detail I laid out in the 1st steps of the process. Some phrases were vague, non-standard, or incorrect, signaling a lack of industry knowledge. The job descriptions for my past positions were overly lengthy, repetitive, and filled with fluffy phrases, seemingly to pad the document which they made 2 pages. The inclusion of keywords I provided was handled impersonally and the final product resembled a copy-paste effort overall rather than a thoughtful integration of info. Despite the positive elements like ATS-centric tips and several helpful rephrasings - the significant monetary cost, the time/effort invested by myself, and content based issues with the resume were too significant to overlook. Using even a fraction of the final versions would have been a risk to professional reputation and potential opportunities for good. Although the service attempted to reconcile when I advocated for my situation, their lack of necessary skill and insight into the tech field led me to move on without spending more time engaging with their product.
