Banker's Hill

An almost necessary resource in today's job market. First worked with this company almost 8 years…read moreago when I was unceremoniously laid-off after a corporate restructure. They were professional, got to the point quickly, and remade my resume' and LinkedIn. You need to be willing and able to calculate the inputs and your performance to get quality results here. But quality and professional results you'll get. A couple hundred dollars of investment turned into thousands more in income because of this company's work. And I am grateful.

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 started writing community features and arts stories for the U-T many years ago, before we were…read morecrushed by Platinum Equity-then Papa Doug, then, well, the change in ownership has been cruel to the journalists who have print ink in their blood. Yes. Subscription service is outsourced and frustrating as hell. I also subscribe and I get it-I always request a supervisor. I still freelance for the paper and know well the dedicated writers still on staff. They deserve their readers. The business, medical, sports and arts writers are dedicated to serving the public. And the news is reliable and fact-checked - it's not social media blabbering. Consider the journalists who have been martyred for bringing important information to light. Please subscribe.

He's not really able to at this point so I was debating cancelling. They made that decision easy when four days in a row they failed to even deliver my paper. It's happened before intermittently, but never four days in a row. You would think considering how few subscribers they have nowadays they would make more of an effort not to upset the ones they do have. As an added F*** You, when I called to cancel they refused to give me a refund for the current month, which they just billed me for this morning. Chasing customers away is the one thing the administrative department does well.
