Once upon a time, the venerable Los Angeles Times ranked this company "Best of the Bunch" among
its internet competitors. Perhaps they were impressed with the company's team approach to writing (they've got
grammarians on staff, for goodness sake) and exclusive partnerships with the likes of the American
Management Association, CareerBuilder.com, Military.com, and colleges throughout the nation. We were impressed
too, until we noticed the company stumbling badly on the issue of customer service. Factor that in when
considering this firm.
The Step-By-Step:
Place your secure order on their web site and include a synopsis of your work history, or attach a copy of
your current resume. Include a good time to call. You'll be assigned a contact person who will conduct a
telephone interview--gathering more background info, identifying your strengths and exploring the best marketing
approach for your qualifications. A team of writers goes to work. You'll receive a draft of the resume for your
approval--suggest any changes until you're happy with the end product. You'll receive your final resume via
email, as well as 20 hard copies on high quality cotton bond paper sent via Priority Mail.
Here's what we liked:
- All writers have real-world business backgrounds. Each is certified and works in-house in a
team environment.
- Pricing is fair and up-front.
- Resume via email and hardcopy is a nice touch.
- Adequate number of sample resumes are made available on the web site to give you an idea of quality
of writing you can expect.
- Happiness Guarantee. They're fond of saying, "our work doesn't stop until you say so." In other
words, they guarantee your happiness with the resume. Until you're happy, they supposedly continue
working.
Here's what we DIDN'T like:
- We prefer results. While happiness is nice (see above bullet point), we have a greater appreciation
for quantitative language. Something along the lines of "we guarantee interviews within 30 days." Perhaps we're
just spoiled by exactly such a guarantee from the likes of ResumeWriters.com.
- We like a company to actually answer our inquiries. Three emails we sent to the company, over a two
month time frame and employing three different email addresses, were each summarily ignored. Not exactly a
shinning example of attentive customer relations.
To summarize:
Yes, the LA Times smiled favorably on this company at one point in time. To the company's benefit, we like
the team approach and the quality of workmanship on the finished product is respectable. However, customer service
(or lack thereof) drags down the rating.
Our advice? If you're looking to keep your project in the $150 range, consider the $149 resume over at
ResumeCorner.com. It's a significant leap ahead in writing quality, customer service
is spot on, and job interviews are guaranteed. Or, if you've got a bit more money to invest, look into
ResumeWriters.com. They landed on the top of the heap for lots of good
reasons, including a 99.98% customer satisfaction rate.
Still, if you must visit the site...
