BEWARE OF THIS SCAM; THEY GUARANTEE NOTHING!
May 25, 2022

Would give 0 stars if possible. I signed up for the services back in June of 2021, understanding there was a GUARANTEE of receiving 200% more interviews after the rewrite. I signed up for their "premium" package which also states I would get an update to my LinkedIn page and a cover letter. After the initial rewrite, I received 0 interviews within their 60-day period and also NEVER received a LinkedIn page update. After expressing these issues both verbally and through email, I only received an updated Resume, no cover letter or LinkedIn update. I recently reached out again as I have yet to receive any interviews and no updated LinkedIn page. After expressing my concerns, they outright REFUSE to rewrite my resume, and stated that they only do a one-time rewrite and then decided that I wasn't dedicating enough time towards job applications and stated I need to spend more time completing this and to look on their Blog page for additional "tips." They also stated they ran it through their "system" and it looks fine. I replied to them stating I didn't need "tips" and that I wanted a rewrite or a refund per their "guarantee." After being asked to provide examples of jobs I applied for (which was not possible as those postings closed) I was only able to provide samples of similar postings. The response I received was essentially a giant "F*** You" as they claimed I wasn't applying for the right types of positions and then finally included a rewrite for my LinkedIn page. Upon me responding stating I was only able to give them samples, I have yet to receive a response. I attempted to contact their customer support and was told they won't rewrite or refund the money stating they "fulfilled their guarantee." Clearly, they don't honor what they post on their website and refuse to take ownership of that fact. STAY AWAY as they are scam artists looking to prey on people who have been struggling to get a job or even an interview. They WILL NOT help you and WILL NOT honor what they post all over their website. They will LIE and claim they sent you documents you never received and do not have anything properly time stamped (they told me they sent me documents on x when they sent them 3 days later, etc.). They will shove their "Terms of Service" in your face and down your throat. If you're considering signing up for their services, DON'T; you will be throwing your money away.

DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY
May 30, 2021

I was going thorugh a confidence crisis and couldn't bring myself to apply to jobs /send out CVs, I thought the $400 package was a good deal given the price of these type of services elsewhere and the additional perks. I regreted it next day and tried to cancel the order, I was given the option to cancel, but they would keep a $75 cancellation fee, or could give it to a friend or family menber as a gift...(I was also pissed to find out that the next week - and now looking at their prices, the package I had gotten was $100 less... fml) they offered additional services, a phone call with someone to go over my objectives (as I also explained I had realised maybe I needed a career coach and not a cv writing service) and a phone call with the writer... I decided to keep it, and ended up using the service a few months after, once I had more clarity on my career path.

I provided my current 'documents' (CV and cover letter), answeres a questionnaire, and got the first set of docs ina few days (they are very responsive). However:

- the formatting of the documents are crap, they look unpolished, boring, the colors between them did not even match the cv was all gray and boring, and the cover letter was green. I pointed this out to the writer, and got the same copy-pasted response twice, i ended up doing my own formatting for my own sake. I asked the writer for his opinion and got nothing back.

- the documents did provide something that I was missing, and that is a language that better sells my skills and is in tune with those cvs you see online where the person looks like a super heroe with tons of 'achievements' and whatever. The bad thing, is it looks exactly like other ******* cvs online, and really, for my taste is too much - too much selling.

- for my second revision I provided a specific job i relly wanted to apply to (the package i got has unlimited revisions) and asked to include more skills that were previously included in my cv and/or cover letter (problem solving, analytical thinking, etc). I event sent specific text from previous cv versions to better showcase my skills for that specific position, he only added a bit to one of my positions and told me that adding more would make the CV too long (my cv was originally one page - after being told many times that 2 pages was too long, and the one I received on the first draft was 2 pages...)

- by giving them specific job positions i was hoping they would help me tailor my cv to that specific job, and do the same thing for others until i'd built a library of skills and sections that i could freely use to apply to future positions, i told them that was my expectation but of course that nver happened, the second revision for that specific job just added an extra section of ' professional hghights, on top of a summary, on top of core competencies (i know, i know, very naive of me to think they would help me do that, but at least help out tailoring for ONE job? It was $400 after all...)

- i asked many specific questions about what should a cv and cl showcase, since it was my understanding that the cv and cl were supposed te be opportunities to shw diff skills, expericne, traits. Etc... the CL is good. But again, looks like the same CL has been made for 1000 ppl, there's nothing about me that makes it stand out. It just has 3 bullet points (text copied from the cv) taht are specific to my experience.

- i also got the linked in profile package, it is the SAME CV! It has an additional about me section that is super long and doesn't even fit in the linked in space so ppl would have to click to view more, and very few points that are not in the cv...

- never got the call with the first person, she never even replied to my email, never got the call with the writer either

BOTTOM LINE, DON'T hire them if you; re expecting them to work with you to really make your CV, CL< linkedin stand out. It's just templates, copy-pasting for a ******* templates they must have, and they will sort of edit some parts (which for tehm should be super easy).

If you DO hire them, don't bother getting any extra features

Tip for consumers:

DON'T hire them if you;re expecting them to work with you to really make your CV, CL< linkedin stand out. It's just templates, copy-pasting for a 10000 templates they must have, and they will sort of edit some parts (which for tehm should be super easy).

If you DO hire them, don't bother getting any extra features, don't get the premium
