    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.

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.

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.

    Karen Wrigley is who I found when I went looking for a resume writer. She was FANTASTIC!! She sat…read morewith me for 2 hours to get to know me and looked over jobs I wanted to apply to. I was insecure about my qualifications, but after talking with her I realized I had a lot more to offer and add to my resume that I ever thought. I really thought she did a bang up job organizing everything and making it look sharp. As the first thing that most employers or head hunters look at, I thought it was a great representation of what I could offer. She was always available to answer my questions even after the resume was written. I really appreciated that after services care she offered. Not only did she write my resume (for a competitive cost I might add) but she also gave me so many tips for my job search. As someone who was laid off and had no idea what the current work force was like, I found Karen to be invaluable and completely worth every penny. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a resume writer, or someone who can prep you for an interview.

    Best Resume writer you have to know. After you meet with America Most Wanted…read moreresume service you will leave with an educated approach to YOUR Resume. You will see that your on line resume needs to be different then the resume you hand to your prospective employer when you walk in the front door. You will be so pumped up with all the information you receive that you know you are lined up for success. I am surprised I am saying this but they needed to charge me more. I called many many times and had more than one meeting with them. I almost felt too needy and still received a small bill compared to the resources I used. Please call AMW next time you need an professional resume written for you or your family, friends. You will not be disappointed.

    I've worked with Alexa at Loken Careers on a few occasions. Once for a total overhaul of my resume,…read morecover letter and several sessions of targeted career coaching, then over time, I've worked with Ms. Loken to "fine tune" my career goals and objectives. She's really made me think about what I want in 2, 5 and 10 years in terms of career and personal goals and has worked with me to develop ways to achieve those goals. I've invested literally thousands of dollars on career coaching from other professional career sites such as LinkedIn, etc. but honestly never garnered anything substantial in terms of specific results that got me favorably noticed by recruiters or potential employers. After Alexa helped me I've had recruiters compliment me on my (newly designed) resume, referring specifically to the quality of the content as well as how succinct it was. Working with Loken Careers during my most recent job search has helped guide me in how and where to "pitch" my new resume to achieve my short and long term career goals. When working with Alexa, I knew from the very beginning of my job search that she was uniquely qualified and vastly different in her approach and results. She asked me lots of questions, was an excellent listener, and able to hone-in on both the big picture job market as well as my specific career needs. I highly recommend Alexa Loken at Loken Careers for all levels of job seekers. She's so easy to work with but most importantly -- she really cares about her clients!
