I applied for a job as soon as I received my new resume and within one week I received a message that my resume was forwarded to the hiring manager! EXCELLENT SERVICE provided by Cherie! read more

I have been going to Cherie for my help with my resume since 2019. She did a full overhaul of my resume and 2 updates. The information online regarding job search etiquette is overwhelming, and at times contradictory. Cherie understands that and puts you at ease. I love the process she uses to really understand a person's strengths and skills. During a conversation via phone, she asks questions to get a better sense of what kind of job you are looking for and what you have done at previous positions. Cherie is so up to date with job market trends, as well as the ever changing technology used by hiring managers and HR. She is honest and trustworthy. You can feel comfortable asking her to make changes to the draft she sends you. I never really needed to though! Not only do you receive an amazing resume, but she provides tips on the best ways to apply to jobs, interviewing, and anything else you may need. She's always willing to answer questions and give honest feedback. I trust her to always steer me in the right direction. If you're apprehensive about your resume or job search I would highly recommend that you contact Cherie at Competitive Edge Resume. You will not regret it! read more

I reached out for resume services not revamp my resume for the start of a new career path. I was impressed with Cherie's professionalism and personal touch when it came to gathering information during our phone call and providing positive feedback. Working with Cherie and her office made for a stress free expeditious process which I greatly appreciated as a full time student and employee. I would recommend her services for a thorough and professional resume that offers edits and changes readily. Thank you! read more

I had a fantastic experience with Competitive Edge. I had just graduated with my masters and had a framework in place, Cherie was able to refine my resume helping showcase my skillsets. Very responsive, great to work with, highly recommend, thank you very much for your great service! read more

Highly recommend Cherie. She is knowledgeable, fast and thorough. Up to date on current hiring trends. I've used her twice now and have recommended her to others. read more

Cherrie and Lauryn were both so helpful with revising my resume and cover letter. They answered all my questions and did my request on a short notice. I highly recommend them! read more

I was referred to Competitive Edge Resume Service by a friend and I'm so very glad I was! I made initial contact with Cherie via e-mail and soon after received a reply about forwarding my resume and tentative meeting times. Meeting up would have been difficult, as I was in a bit of a rush, so we planned on e-mails for the time being. I forwarded my resume, which I thought was pretty darn good, and thought maybe I'd get a suggestion or two about new styles or something that are current and eye-catching. However, when I received my revised resume back, I couldn't believe what I saw! It was awe-inspiring. Simply put, Cherie worked some magic with what I had sent her and I saw a complete overhaul that made so much more sense on how to put my resume together. Although the content was basically the same, she added vocabulary and wording to it that made my objectives, goals and tasks clear, concise and flattering. I was amazed at how much better my resume looked and sounded through a quick read. All in all, I can't be more happy with the work Cherie did with my resume. If you are in need of a resume tune-up, make Competitive Edge Resume Service your first call. It will be the only call you make before being offered that new job. Keep on Yelp'n! read more

I was recommended to Competitive Edge Resume from a family friend and I am so glad that I connected with them. Cherie is fantastic and knows exactly how a resume should look in todays world. She takes the time to listen to the way you want to portray yourself professionally and formats it in a very straightforward manner. She also gives you prep work documents to prepare yourself for interviews thats she has curated over the years. This alone is very valuable to me and was a fantastic little bonus. If you're in the hunt for a new job and want to feel confident in your search I would definitely recommend Competitive Edge. This is the best thing I did for myself this year. read more

Cherie and her assistant were extremely accommodating, professional, and overall great to work with in rebuilding my resume and cover letter. I am a recent college grad with little job searching experience. After working with Cherie I feel more prepared than ever and very confident when sending out my new resume. read more

I found this resume service via Yelp, after one of those online services never returned my call. So happy they did not get back to me otherwise I might not have found the best resume service ever!!! Cherie is excellent! extremely responsive, informative and provided me with a very impressive resume. Her work is impeccable. Worth every penny! All I needed was a visual enhancement to my current resume and I received so much more. Cherie really works with you to provide the service you need. I have shared her business information with all my colleagues. Want a great resume service definitely contact Competitive Edge and speak with Cherie! read more

COMPETITIVE EDGE RESUME SERVICE has a robust team of professional writers, flawlessly managed by Cherie Heid. I've been using their services for over five years for my family and friends, we all feel the same about this stellar group performance, and professional assistance, but what really stands out is, THEY CARE!! read more

True to form, Competitive Edge Resume Service responded with defensiveness and hostility. It is TRUE. My real name is not Cindy R. but I was so mistreated by the owner that I was afraid to use my true identity. No telling what she would do and not taking any chances. But my comments and evaluation are genuine and not personal. I don't know that person, I just know that she was mean, misleading and the quality was embarrassingly POOR. read more

I like to share my experience working with Competitive Edge Resume Service. My experience was second to none tremendous service. Provided wonderful suggestions on formatting and more accomplishments on how to make my resume look more appealing to recruiters. I am happy I chose to work with Competitive Edge Resume Service. I will for sure be recommending this company to my friends and business colleagues. read more

Being in my 40's I was starting to struggle with getting responses from employers when sending my resume out. I am sure the employers were looking for less cluttered resumes without so much work experience taking up more than 2 pages. I had been looking online for sample resumes on how to update my resume but I really couldn't find much. Then a friend referred me to Cherie. She had told me what Cherie had done for her resume and would soon accept a job offer shortly after using her services. With my 20 years of work experience Cherie was able to turn my resume in to a professional work of art and I am definitely seeing the results! If you need help updating or fine tuning your resume I would definitely recommend getting in contact with Cherie at Competitive Edge Resume Service! read more

I reached out to Cherie about a month ago and asked her to spruce up my resume. She took my good resume and made it great! It went from a list of things I had done, to a powerful story about what I had accomplished. I went from a month of applying for jobs and getting no calls to about a 60% response rate as soon as I began using the new and improved version. I have recommended her services to a number of friends and highly encourage you to contact her if you want to increase your odds. I accepted an offer today and I have no doubt that my resume was the key!! read more

Initially came to Competitive Edge Resume Service to revamp my resume. Stuck in the same job for years (insert violin music) it was clear my professional image needed an overhaul - big time! First, the process with CE could not be easier. E-mailed over the resume I had been using...the sad little document that was getting ZERO TRACTION finding me a new job and scheduled a phone time. Our talk was fun! It kinda felt like a mini workshop. We pinpointed what I was looking for in my next job and how to leverage my life/work experience to get it! Now it was not just a resume "upgrade" I was seeking. Yes folks, my cover letter and LinkedIn were all a hot mess. So Cherie, the owner, did a professional update for all documents (resume/cover letter) and social media. Once complete I was BLOWN AWAY! So many things we had talked about by e-mail/phone were interwoven in a beautiful document that really marketed "me" to employers. When looking at friends or coworkers resumes I no longer had "resume envy" - people were buzzing about mine. It was the new benchmark. Before I had one cover letter, now I have several based on job type and/or company. Finally, my social media LinkedIn profile, that before was ranked as 2 star by LinkedIn (Intermediate) is now 5 star (All Star). I get almost as many hits from prospective employers and recruiters on LinkedIn as I do sending resume through traditional channels. Once connected the confidence that I'll "get a callback" after e-mailing my resume is now always present. That feeling is priceless. Over the years I have graduated college, gotten promoted, received awards at work - all of which Cherie quickly updates so my professional snapshot is always accurate. Initially working with Cherie was a means to get a better job. Although I'm thrilled I got it (THANK YOU C!), I'm happier to have this professional "in my corner" to navigate the extremely competitive marketplace for human capital in San Diego. I give this resume writing ninja 10 "WOW now that I see it on paper I sound kinda awesome" outta 10. read more

I am a current undergraduate student applying for jobs and internships - I had never had help with my resume before and decided to go to Competitive Edge. After Cherie went through my resume with me and polished it up, I have gotten substantially more responses back from potential employers! Cherie was extremely kind and helpful, and thanks to her I am looking at some wonderful offers! Definitely would recommend!! read more

Competitive Edge created my resume last year for my successful graduate school package and did a beautiful job! I had not updated my resume for over 8 years and had so many changes in my job that I didn't want to try and tackle it on my own. They were easy to deal with, very prompt, and communicative throughout the whole process. And they stay on top of the industry to know what needs to go into and stay out of your resume. For example, my resume was intended for education, so there was information that they suggested I include that wouldn't normally be left in for a job search. I am now returning to have my LinkedIn profile professionally updated by Cherie and her team, and will also be back when I need my resume revamped in the future. Just like paying any other professional to do work I'm not trained to do, or have the experience, this service is worth the modest price they charge. I highly recommend Cherie and her team. read more

Updating my resume was causing me a layer of stress I wasn't even aware of. For a year I had it on my to-do list and would sit down and stare at my laptop. Cherie and team took all of that stress away. Her process is amazing easy to go thru and the output is just incredible. I heard back from the first job I posted for and have other opportunities in process. Thank you Cherie and Team. Your services are an investment in self-care. read more

Landed a new job 2 weeks after getting my resume back! Keep an open mind to feedback, utilize the resources, have a good attitude and this will be the most painless process ever. Thanks Competitive Edge team :) read more

Wow! Where do I began with what a wonderful experience I had with Cherie. She wrote a beautiful resume for me and gave me amazing career advise. I had been out of the professional world for quite awhile while raising my kids. She not only gave me great advise, but gave me the confidence I needed too. Amazing what that right person can do. I found a great job with the first company I send it to. (I had used another resume writer here on Yelp and my resume was a mess and I did not hear back from those companies at all). So thank you Cherie! I have already recommended you to my friends! read more

I have recently been lost in the job search process with a very average resume. I contacted Competitive Edge Resume Service and they were able to give me a very competitive, professional resume! Their service was spectacular and the quality of my new resume exceeded my expectations. Thank you again guys! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Cherie. She was able to help me update my resume, something I hadn't done in over ten years. She was really thorough and efficient. She spent a lot of time with me on the phone and by email to make sure that the final product was perfect for me. I have applied to two jobs so far and both reached out for interviews! One even let me know that my resume was very impressive:). I know this is because of Cherie's work and her ability to highlight and summarize my strengths. Thank you, Competitive Edge! I highly recommend your services. read more

I worked with Cherie at an old employer 8-10 years ago. My resume was in dire need of updating as I looked for a new job and I had known throuhg Linkedin that she now wrote resumes professionally. I felt the content of my resume was fine, but was missing some "omph" for lack of a better term. I called Cherie, we hadn't spoken in years. I sent he my current resume, we exchanged emails and she pointed out a few things so I decided to move forward and have her redo my resume for a fee. The results are night and day. In some ways I barely recognize the employee that is described, but it is all me with just much better writing, content management, etc. She also provided a cover letter that was also a great improvement over my older standard one. It has only been about 10 days since I updated my Linkedin profile as well as Monster.com and indeed.com. I've been approached by a few recruiters and I feel a lot more confident when applying for jobs. Cherie also had a lot of insight and advice on the modern application process, how to format and add content to a resume that would heelp with the "automated" systems most employers use these days. In the delivery package she even included a 2 page tutorial on various job board sites and how best to utilize them. At first I felt a little foolish spending a days worth of pay to have my resume professionally done, but it was well worth it. Highly recommend. read more

Although they weren't able to help me because they were short staffed for the summer, they did refer me to Hillcrest Business Service and I was able to advance my resume. So I gave this business 4 stars for returning my call, being very nice and referring me to another business that was able to advance my federal resume. read more

I got the job I was applying for!!! Cherie did excellent work on both my cover letter and resume. In this job market, don't try to do this yourself. Call Cherie - trust me. read more

Very happy I went with Cherie and her company. Not only delivered on a professional resume, but gave added value with her included services. Easy to work with and went the extra mile for me. read more

Competitive Edge Resume Service truly delivered for me. They produced a great looking resume within the time frame promised. They were very responsive to any questions and comments I had and they also provided me with a lot of extra valuable job searching and interviewing information. Thank you Melissa and Cherie! read more

I found out about Competitive Edge Resume from my friend. Even though I live in NV, I was able to work remotely with them by phone and email. I was contacted by Cherie who was instrumental in improving the content and reduced the length to 2 pages so it is much easier to read. She also provided excellent customer service with detailed information on the best way to conduct my job search. There were resume companies in my city, but my friend said it would be better to work with a Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW). Glad I did! read more

I have been using competitive edge resume service for 10 years. Cherie Heid has been absolutely amazing! She's written resumes and letters for me. She does an outstanding job and prices are very reasonable! read more

An outstanding resume is the most important tool in your job search. Before I had Completive Edge re-write by resume I was getting little or no response on job posting sites or recruiters. Within a short time of my resume update I was receiving 2 or 3 calls a day, inquires and interviews. I landed an excellent job that I didn't think was possible before I used their services. Ashely was responsive, courteous, and knowledgably. Defiantly will recommend to friends and co-workers!! read more

I initially composed my resume with a template I found online. I couldn't understand why I would hardly get any responses. I found Competitive Edge Resume Service and worked directly with Cherie. What a Godsend she was!!! She was extremely helpful and the final product was more than I could have imagined!!! Responses to my resume went through the roof and I landed a great job in no time. Cherie will forever be my "go to" person for any resume updates I need!!! If you want an amazing resume, this is most definitely the place get it!!! read more

Bravo to Competitive Edge Resume Service, Cherie Heid and her staff. I have an unusual and diverse background that I found hard to compress and lay out (former foreign freelancer, staff newspaper reporter, entertainer, syndicated columnist, and high profile political weblog owner). I've had MANY resumes done over the years, but Cherie is the best person I've worked with who knows how to take a person's experience, perfectly lay it out and then TRANSLATE IT into a resume that is written in a way potential employers like. She speaks their corporate language and knows what will entice employers. A job seeker presenting him/herself in the corporate language and laying out their skill set is important -- and it's surprising how many resumes miss doing just that. AND I had her do the resume for my foster son, whose experience wasn't as extensive -- and she laid that out perfectly in terms of his past jobs and his skill set. He has also told others. read more

Excellent service! I am an IT professional who needed a quick revision of my resume. I can totally recommend Competitive Edge. After about an hour interview with Cherie, she fleshed out the valuable info needed and provided me a new version of my resume tailored for the job posting I provided her. She also provided a well written cover letter. read more

I could not recommend Competitive Edge Resume Service enough...I have used them more than a few times over the years for resume creation, cleanup and updating and every time the results have been amazing. read more

They are Great to work with!! They helped create my resume years ago and when I needed an update they were able to add all my new information the same day I called! Excellent service and quality!! I highly recommend if you need help with your resume! read more

Cherie is a great resume writer! She is very patient and understanding and I enjoyed working with her a lot. She took my ok resume and transformed it into a great one! Totally worth the money! read more

My wife and I have both used Competitive Edge for the past several years. During that time, we have applied for three highly competitive positions (one myself and two for my wife) and have happily earned all three positions. There is no doubt in my mind that Competitive Edge was the difference maker and I wouldn't dream of applying for my next position without their help. The investments we have made in having our resumes created by Cherie and her staff have paid for themselves hundreds of times over. read more
