They made promises for job references, put an urgency to get your money, once they got it, they ignored emails, and text messages. When you persist, if they respond (Amey) they will attack/call you annoying and accuse you of not paying even when I sent copies of my receipt and the email sent to them requesting references. I've obtained a job without their help, but just beware-it's pretty shady operation. Luckily, it as a lesson to me. Don't let them take your money, they are not providing the services they promise or advertise. I'm in the process of reporting them to other venues also.
If you need something like this, this one is really good. There were no issues what so ever, pricing was fair, customer service was very friendly, and everything was taken care of quickly. I have never been charged anything other than the fee we agreed on. I would recommend them.
I think at one time this company actually delivered services. That time is not now. I initially started working with Amey. I sent the money and no website. Their reference doesn't work and I lost my money. $250. I called Jennifer and she seriously sounded like she was indulging her drug of choice. I didn't give my money to support someone's habit. I could easily go to a seedy gas station and give out money if I wanted to do that. Jennifer says she's the owner but she did nothing to furnish my service and I did NOT get the job from a very excited prospective employer. DO NOT USE. You're better off paying asking trusted friends to vouch for you. These two are worthless and will actually meds up your career.
For anyone with gaps in their work history due to the ubiquitous "fly by night" startups that pop into and out of existence, this is a lifesaver. Would highly recommend as it's easier and cheaper than hunting down AWOL managers and CEOs who have no interest or intentions of validating your work history. Lost several positions due to lack of response from former colleagues. This service is a necessity when up against the clock and your contacts from work six years ago are MIA. Highly recommend and appreciate the attention to detail
Careerexcuse.com has been a life saver for me. Having career gaps in my resume was a major hindrance to finding reemployment. Careerexcuse helped level the playing field and provided me with amazing customer service and support all through reemployment processes.
I have used this company multiple times the last few years and they have not let me down. Solid websites as well as good references. Amey/Jennifer are always responsive and will answer any questions you have during the process. I would highly recommend using their services,

This is a great service that helps you get the job you desire regardless of any prior experience. It's a game changer and gives you the chance you deserve when trying to a job you really want but "don't have the experience." HIGHLY recommend. They are a powerful ally to have on your side
Where to begin with this "company"… they claim to be able to return your request within 72 hours for an expedited fee. Won't happen. They claim to "give you their word" that they'll have references for you. Again, won't happen. They'll come up with every excuse in the book about being busy and will get back to you, still won't happen. It'll come down to the eleventh hour and people calling your references you paid a hefty sum for. Will they answer the phone? Nope, won't happen. Don't waste your money or aggravation with these two people.
I've been using careerexcuse.com for some time now, skeptical at first, but Jennifer and Amey made me feel right at home. They treated me with respect and answered all my questions with utmost care and priority. When it comes time to the background check, theyre on top of their phone lines. Easy to contact, and trusted company. I would recommend them to anyone.
They took $250 from me and provided no service and no refund. I cash app Jack Staten for my payment. This is due to the fact I worked with them in the past and thought I could trust them. I spoke to Jennifer who sounded very intoxicated. She promised a refund but it never happened and she no longer answers the phone.
I can't lay out all of the details due to agreements with my legal team but this company will be under investigation very soon. The owners have willfully created fraud on a federal level. I encourage others to report incidents of giving money without receipt of services to contact the Federal Trade Commission.
I decided to use Career Excuse after having a small gap in my employment history. They proved to be excellent and I was able to land my past dream job. The service is professional and I never had to worry that I was going to be presented in a wrong way. Thank you!
I was a little desperate and I tried it. I was surprised that there was such an attention to detail. Amey helped me out with all my questions and profiles and I had a peace of mind. Great for somebody starting out!
Jennifer and Amey are astute business women, with great knowledge and insight in various job markets. They give great advice, and provide an opportunity for me to return to work after raising my kids, and doing occasional contact work.
I lost out on an 80k a year job because of bad references. Repeated promises and reassurances were made and never kept. I wasted months and hundreds of dollars I'll never get back. Avoid CareerExcuse at all costs.
Amey lytle saved my home my marriage and my well being as a whole. She helped gain and maintain employment to save my home for my children and keep my family together. I will forever have her in my thoughts prayers. Thank you girl!
This company is a SCAM, I paid my money and my potential employer reached out to then and was not able to get through! They do not provide references! They take your money and run! Please save yourself! I paid my money and got NO SERVICE!
I would highly recommend their service. They were responsive whenever I had any questions or anything else that required their attention. Jennifer and William were both professional and efficient. Especially if you are hesitant, it's always good to have a contingency plan if your plan A falls through.
Do not waste your money. This is a total scam. Amey and her "staff" will not answer phone calls, return emails or text messages. The references are laughable. This is really terrible because people who need this service are already in a desperate situation.
They wasted a lot of my time pretending they were going to help me but a few days after they got their payment they disappeared and ignored every email and text I sent them. Don't believe the positive reviews. They are fake and they have been posted by them
I should've read the reviews first. I'll be disputing with my bank. Just so everyone in the future knows it is one of the 3 valid reasons to dispute. They'll stop scamming if they stop making money. I encourage people to dispute immediately if they are not providing the resume service they were paid for.

Business History
I myself signed on after a 15-year stint as a mortgage loan underwriter and a nasty divorce because I believed in the company's mission.
Most of our clients are people who are either trying to cover up huge résumé gaps or who've had too many short-term employers and are trying to fake stability.
"Our main clientele right now is IT executives, and they're pretty high-level," citing 6-figure salaries. The average customer, I would say, is looking for something in the $60,000 to $80,000 range.
Since we've started this company we have landed 1000s of members full-term steady employment, "As a matter of fact, I landed 5 people a job this week! And its only Tuesday!
Our current client database has more than 2,000 names of people trying to fake their previous employment. Most of which are clients whom "life has just been completely cruel."
In my mind, CareerExcuse is less a fraud than a for-profit lifeline."There are many things that happen in people's lives, with [employers] going out of business, being laid off, managers just unrightfully firing you, sexual harassment suits — you name it, it happens in the workforce."
We make it very clear that CareerExcuse can't compensate for lack of talent, and if you couldn't actually do the job you're trying to get, you'd be wasting your money to enlist our services. But if you do have the experience and skills to complete the job, "then I don't see why you shouldn't deserve a shot, just like the next person."
I guess I see it as a warped kind of vigilante justice. Lol... "Without our services," there are deserving people "who might not be able to get a second chance." The people we work with "work just as hard" as people that have developed real reference networks. However, there are lines we won't cross. We will not take on clients looking for work in government, medicine, childcare, or law enforcement — nothing where your employment would "put other people in danger." should you not actually have the skill.
I always discourage people just out of college from signing up for our service. "You don't want to start off this way,". "Go get a realistic experience, and then stay with it." Should life throw a curveball your way Then, we will be happy to help. I also won't take people that I get a bad feeling about, or if I sense their "services are being used for anything other than an honest second chance."
CareerExcuse may not always be the best answer, but the problem we are trying to address is a real one, and for me, the ends justify the means. "It does make me feel good about myself to be able to help [people get jobs], whether I have to make a phone call and act like someone else and lie to help them do it."
