What can I say other than John completely hit it out of the park for me and some! I am around 40…read moreand am a mid-senior level professional and since the pandemic I had deviated from the corporate sector a little and hired John to get to the next level of my career. More specially, my resume needed work as I was getting little to no response on LinkedIn. In all fairness, I have never really had to use a resume as I have always gotten jobs through my relationships. However, this needed to change to meet new market demands. I have also found writing them to be extremely difficult, somewhat artificial, and just gross. But John has a unique gift! After our one-on-one call in which we connected, John to my surprise and delight was able to not only come away with what I had done, where I currently am in my career and what I am looking to do but to also understand what all that meant together in its entirety. I have often struggled and I consider myself a pretty good communicator & writer with my resume. The balance of getting it all in, being specific but also general enough to make you the most marketable you can be for various roles. There is a fine line for anyone to express this but for John to so eloquently and dare I say almost effortlessly write me the best resume I have had! While it's all true and honest it made me feel good to read what I had done! I would hire me! John is a class act, a hard worker as I know he spent a lot of effort on making my resume shine like it did. I have not even spoken about the LinkedIn updating he did on my behalf and the cover letter. If his resume writing ability is an A+ then his linked in profile writing and enhancement and cover letter writing are A+ squared. I will always recommend John and Five Star Resume to all my friends and colleagues who need this service. I cannot believe that I found him after interviewing 3 people from proposals I received on LinkedIn. What a gift and I trust a relationship in which we will help each other for years to come.

Finding someone to help you with your resume is not easy; trying to highlight all your experience…read moreand accomplishments into one or two sheets is tough. I found Rebecca online and loved her logo and website- thought to myself; this is professional and by the looks of it, she knows how to brand herself. Resumes are about promoting your brand; she took my mundane resume and highlighted my accomplishments in both marketing and training. We spoke on the phone and communicated through email and she replied back almost instantaneously; if she didn't, she still replied the same day within a few hours. Now I'd been doing so much interviewing of other people in the past few years, I forgot what it's like to be the interviewee. Even before I paid Rebecca she sent me a worksheet of how to prep for an interview; most common questions, best ways to really examine your career and how to articulate who you are to the interviewer (sometimes we tend to over complicate or over think things, with this you do not- Much Thanks Rebecca!) In about a 2 days after she sent me the final copies of both my resumes and made some suggestions as what realistic positions to apply to; I got phone calls, did some interviews and found a job in about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks- I start next Monday! I didn't have to contact her once to make any changes to either resumes. I definitely would recommend her to anyone; a lot of companies/people out there only do this virtually so if you're like me and think, "How can I trust anyone over the internet?" Well you can trust her!

Much to Phil H.'s protest for staffing agency, I am still pursued by them unavoidable with great dismay. The recruiter who I was assigned was very understanding and compassionate to take the time learning of my background and career goals after completing an application. The end result furnished into the void for Lerner Cumbo & Associate to be categorized as another ordinary staffing agency. Note: Entrance is on 41st Street, despite of the actual address on Madison Avenue.

A few months ago, frustrated that I wasn't getting the amount of responses to job applications that…read moreI thought someone with my experience, abilities and accomplishments should receive, I reached out to About Jobs based on a recommendation. For quite some time, I didn't see the point of hiring someone to write my resume, that it was a complete waste of money when I could easily do it myself. Well, just like the time I thought it was a solid idea to forgo hiring a mechanic and just do the work myself, I was oh so wrong. I sent my original point person Alana my resume and she took a considerable amount of time out of her day to (politely) point out why my resume wasn't getting the hits I wanted, asked me lots of questions about my background, experiences and goals and from there, recommended the package she thought would best work for me. Alana also had me consult with her colleague Maryann, who offered her own expertise and insight as to what my resume needed. From there, Alana matched me with a writer from her staff she thought would best capture my voice. That writer, Paula, was truly fantastic. In a lengthy phone interview, she was able to pull information and facts about myself even I had forgotten, to the point where even I was impressed with myself (and I'm a perfectionist). The resulting resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile were like I had written them, only so much better. Fast forward to now and the ROI has been tremendous. I'm able to apply to jobs in a more efficient way, which is important for someone like me who has limited free time. The amount of responses I've gotten back has improved dramatically, the amount of hits on my LinkedIn page has skyrocketed and it looks like the next chapter of my career will be starting sooner than later. Even in the fourth quarter, historically known to be a quiet hiring period, I am receiving calls almost daily about potential opportunities. Speaking to the About Jobs team, it is apparent this is a crew that really believes in their products, and, just like with my mechanic, I wish I had hired them much sooner. I highly recommend About Jobs to help bring your career to the next level.

I've used their services for years cause clearly i'll never learn my lesson. I've had nothing but bad experiences with them. Whenever i am looking for a job, i am asked to come in, fill out a job application and meet with their headhunters. But i've used their services multiple times. Why is my info not saved in your database? The odd part is, i keep getting asked to come and interview with the same headhunter over and over again. You've met me already. How many times do you need to look at me to perform invisible biased? This means judging me by my looks, height, weight, ethnicity, and whether i am perky enough to send out, etc. It goes on and on. Here is the thing, if they want to collect resumes to sell them to third parties for $$ (allegedly) they should say so. Its so pathetic, unproductive, and just an insult to constantly waste my time and yours to provide false hope. This place is so packed and busy because they are so skilled at creating this illusion they are in high demand with tons of jobs, as if they are placing jobs for everyone in all of NYC and some parts of NJ. That couldn't be the furthest thing from the truth. They are actors getting a paycheck to appear as busy bodies. Sign me up. I wanna get a paycheck and do nothing all day. The last time i was in here, i let the headhunter have it. I called him out on his BS. I told him: Do you seriously want to get me a job or just waste my time? Do you want commission $$ or not? All you do is collect resumes. I've used your services so many times and its been nothing but a dead end. You don't think its odd the last 4 times i used you, i ended up getting a job all on my own? He gagged in silence and just couldn't take my brutal honesty. I wonder how he pays his rent because he surely is not helping anyone in the 5 boros land a job. To close things off, i ended up finding a job all on my own the last 5 times that i was in the market. That is 5 times they missed out on their commission $$ (thousands of dollars). Here is the thing, i am your secondary client. The firm you are recruiting for is your primary client. I get that. But when i send an email asking for a status update, i expect a response. Typing: NO UPDATE is easy. No one is asking for their first born child or a blood sample. I drop to drop everything for them, but they can't type a 5 second email to provide a status update? Really?!? Every time i ask if they are working on any new jobs, i get dead air. This firm really has a pair of elephant sized balls. How they don't bleed when he walks is beyond me. Just unbelievable. I wish them well even though they missed out on commission $$ 5 times in a row. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
