We met in an industrial building not too far from OMSI. The guys that run this agency were very nice and friendly. I mostly spoke with Matt who was refreshingly honest about Portland not being a big mecca of the modeling world. I decided to sign up my daughter and sent in some photos for their website. Puddletown does charge a small monthly fee (12.00) to have your child's photos on their site. No problem. You do pay one year in advance for this (144.00) but you can cancel if you want and get a refund for the remaining part of the year. We waited for a modeling job, but after 6 months we received exactly 0. ( I had started to notice they used the same girls pretty much for their few local ads they did) I didn't want to spend any more $ so I canceled. That was our experience..........

We adore Jason and Matt! Not only is Puddletown Talent a reputable, legitimate agency, but these…read moreguys care for their roster of kids as if they were their own (children). They go above and beyond the typical "agent" role to assure that the kids are happy and healthy by being mentors and "extended family." Since the acting/modeling industry is known for "eating its young," having their support, guidance and knowledge behind your child is invaluable. They don't sugar coat- we know Portland is not LA or NYC - but there is work here. The guys are very upfront and real about the fact that even though YOU may believe you have the most amazing, gorgeous, talented child in the world, the competition is fierce. Yet, they believe in their kids, and in turn, the kids believe in themselves and are booking jobs. It's a win-win. Incidentally, another reviewer said that she noticed "they used the same girls pretty much for their few local ads they did." This may be true, but PT doesn't cast. They submit. It is then up to the child to impress the client and land the job.

To kick things off, it took two weeks after purchasing to get on our career coaching call. Little did I know that was actually one of the faster turnarounds through the process. After our first meeting, which I did find helpful and I wish there was more of, it took three weeks to receive my first version of a resume, which unfortunately contained a few mechanical errors as well as sections and bullet points that did not match. After some more back and forth over the next 12 days, I finally received a resume that I could use, though I ended up just making more a refined version on my own. The completed updates to my LinkedIn than took another month, though I will admit my own response slowed after essentially moving forward with the recruitment process on my own at this stage. Frankly, the revisions for LinkedIn also did not make a lot of sense for what I wanted in my target roles and lacked focus. From starting in early July to finishing in mid-October (4 months), we finally finished the process. I do not expect any follow-up from Resume Scripter based on how self-guided the experience was. If there were more opportunities to hop on calls to discuss feedback and strategy beyond the single 45 minute session at the beginning, then I think the experience would have gone more smoothly. But, frankly, I think this team is overworked and handling too many other projects to deliver the client experience suggested by the price tag.

I'm writing a review for the magic that is Job Jenny. As a birthday gift to myself I purchased a…read moreresume. My contract position wasn't going to last forever and my resume needed some serious love. I found JobJenny dot com and she had me at "hello" with her bright yellow website that touted her as a "Job Search BFF and Tough Love Expert on finding your passion." She immediately filled both of those roles for me. After an hour phone consult and a couple business days, there it was... my new and 100x improved resume, fresh off the press. It showcased the same experience and talent my old resume did, but with the style, professionalism and extra oomph it desperately needed. I put my job search in full-swing three weeks ago, and today I received an offer for a position that has "me" written all over it, (only a week and a half out of work). In the process, the resume and the employer-friendly key words it came with brought in a total of 6 or 7 job/phone interviews and countless calls from recruiters. I felt so popular, and the inner monologue of "crap, how am I gonna get a job in this market?" was silenced by my Blackberry ringing off the hook. Jenny's prices for Resumes and Cover Letters are a steal, even for the budget-weary job seeker. Five stars doesn't seem like enough to express my gratitude, so between us Yelpers, consider this a 10 Star review.

The first thing I noticed when I went to visit was how welcomed I felt. The receptionist was warm and friendly and offered me something to drink. Before I even met Lori, it was clear that my presence in the office was welcome, and I felt like an honored guest. My meeting with Lori was highly beneficial with valuable information and lively interaction. My primary goal was to get help with my resume, which I had sent to her in advance. Lori had already looked over it and had several great ideas right off the bat. I thought my resume looked pretty good, but her experience in the field allowed her to pinpoint ways for me to make my resume even more powerful and concise. In addition to our meeting, she was available later via email to look over the changes I made to my resume. Perhaps the most special part of the meeting was how Lori "got me" and why I do my work. She heard my heart and even got teary-eyed as I talked about my passions! In a time when I was feeling a little uncertain about myself, it was so empowering to receive Lori's words as a mirror for me. I left her office feeling really good about myself, and armed with great tools to assist my job search. Lori Rush really knows her stuff.
