This review is no measure on Ward's professionalism: They were kind and very professional and…read morealways responsive. For context, I was in a rough spot in my career. I was unemployed for a while working temp jobs and couldn't get hired. My career has been all over the place, and I haven't stayed at one job very long. I knew I needed the best resume writer I could get and knew it'd be expensive. I found Ward, and took out a new credit card and spent $1000 cause I was going broke and losing my mind. The results just weren't great. I was actually getting worse results than I had before. After 8 months I hadn't gotten a single interview. I'd reached out to Ward to see about helping me out but ended up editing it myself after they'd told me it already aligned with the roles I was applying for. They were responsive and got back to me but I realized there was nothing they could do to fix my problem. It wasn't just a resume problem, I also had issues with being qualified for the role I was actually applying for (This came up with recruiters). I also had issues with Ward's process. They aren't miracle-workers, they're going to write a resume exactly how you tell them to write it. But the problem is one doesn't always know what they need. I'm not a resume writer so I don't know why my previous resume isn't working, or what best belongs on my current resume or what is the most significant parts of my life that align with my role. They don't find the subtext, they don't notice themes. They don't quite tell your story in a way no one else could. They're not able to bring to light the things hidden in your career or life. If you don't tell them it's not going to be on there. They're fantastic formatters but that's about it. Which is great for a person who's had a very straight and simple career path and is looking for a good looking resume. A big part of their process is beating the ATS system, which is great but doesn't mean it will please the recruiters well enough to get you in the door. Resumes need to sell you and be pleasing to the eye. I feel like Wards approach failed in this regard for someone who's career path wasn't very linear. They focus more on keywords than looking good and being pleasing to read. If you've worked a very linear career (same path in the same industry) Ward is great I'm sure. But if you haven't had a straight path, are frustrated in your career and want to switch careers, or your resume sucks and you don't know why you'll need another service. Also if you're having trouble selling yourself in ways that have been previously null, Ward misses the mark. I ended up having to go to another competitor resume writer who not only wrote a better resume but realized in our consultation I was searching down the wrong path. I'm in a totally different role now. Something he helped me discover before writing a resume for a role that wasn't my fit. I appreciate Ward's professionalism, and respect that their many positive reviews are there for a reason. Just didn't work out for me.

I had all the credentials I needed but something was missing. That is when I turned to SummitWork. Not only did Josh help me perfect my resume and cover letter, but also many nuances that were crucial to make me stand out from the rest of the recent college grads. He helped me learn how to interview, answer questions, connect with recruiters online, get ready for my post interview thank you notes and many more skills I had never taken into account. If it wasn't for SummitWork, I would not have landed an internship and eventual full time job with a Fortune 500 company like Altria. I am very thankful for this service and Josh for his ability to help people from his vast experience.

Sometimes, we're stuck facing an important decision, and individually thinking it through - even…read morefrom all angles - doesn't quite cut it. We need someone with unique perspective that can guide us towards the best path and coach us to make tough calls. That was exactly why I came to Will at The MBA Way. I work for a Fortune 100 company and have an MBA in Marketing. I've been fortunate to have built a career and the respect of others. Recently, I was approached by a Marketing Manager in my company about a job opening that needed to be filled quickly. I'd been happy in my currently role for 8 months, but this new opportunity seemed really diverse and would make me a more well-rounded marketer. I struggled trying to make the right choice: do I apply, do I let it go, will there be another chance later, should I jump on it now?! That's where Will came in. I needed career guidance to sort out what I wanted my long-term career path to be, and understand which job would help me achieve my goals. Will challenged me to think about what I needed now, how would my day-to-day be different, what would make me happiest both in short and long term. He gave me great advice, coaching me to listen to my gut while bringing reason into the equation too. We had various sessions where he listened closely to my thoughts and brought up aspects of my reactions and even biases I would have never noticed. I gave me a perspective I couldn't have had tackling this important decision alone. It was also really great that he had experience in this kind of situation and in corporate business environments so he really could relate. I totally would recommend Will for career guidance and coaching. He's fun, caring and professional, and was the perfect person to help evaluate my special career situation!

Excellent customer service is always the best model...I'm sure whatever your needs are you will be in great hands!

He guided me through a clarification process about what I truly wanted in my next job and encouraged me to identify and articulate the gifts I have to offer an employer. He listened compassionately and brought his wry sense of humor to our interactions (hitting just the right notes during a vulnerable change process for me). Robert assigned me several soul searching activities, including asking me to generate a "list of awesome" about my talents, or as he calls them my "superpowers". He then encouraged me to update my LinkedIn and my resume to reflect the list, which was very clarifying as I looked for a new position. I'm happy to report that I landed my dream job a few weeks ago thanks to his help. He writes this about his process: "We begin by simply talking. It's a conversation, not an interrogation. Interviewing you, I ask leading questions to draw out everything that might be useful in your history-and I make it surprisingly easy, clients report. I don't take a fill-in-the-blanks approach. I work with you to take inventory of the best you have to offer, and that's what your new resume will reflect." Everything about his work with me proved this methodology to true. I highly recommend Robert Dagnall of Resume Guru!
