I can't believe it took me so long to write this review, but better late than never! I want to give a shout-out to the most generous, helpful guy in my job search. When I first started looking for a job a year ago, I was trying to return to the work force after 11 years of hiatus from it. It wasn't easy, and I didn't know where to start. I reached out to JuicyBlue, and Brandon got in touch with me. He spoke with me at length about what I wanted to do and about my experience. I had never worked with an employment agency before and didn't know if I was supposed to pay him, so I asked him. He laughed and said that no, he doesn't take payments from job seekers. I may be misremembering, but I think he said that he gets his commissions from the companies after he places workers with them. Anyway, this kind man told me that even though he couldn't place me at that time, he would work with me to get me a job. He asked me to send him my resume. After reading it, he called me again and told me what I needed to change, to make my resume more accomplishment-based and less role-based. I didn't know it at the time, but my resume was very much in the 90s style(!) and he was bringing it up to the current standard. And he's just a nice guy, I really enjoyed talking to him. We spoke a couple more times, where I updated my resume and he gave me more feedback, and gave me some tips on interviews. Shortly after that, I applied to my current company (using the resume that Brandon helped me polish), and got the job of my dreams.
I cannot thank Brandon enough for giving me hope and help during a pivotal part of my life. I hope more people are like him. I've heard horror stories of employment agencies using people and disappointing them. But Brandon is the real thing. He really wants to help, and he has helped me, without taking a cent from me. read more
