Resume Go

Really good service! I was recommended to them by a friend who got her resume written by them as well. We had different writers assigned to us, and both seemed very solid and did a great job with our resumes.

I would be comfortable recommending them to others

Thanks!

Really really good resume - a few minor mistakes made with my job history so I dock 1 star. I think my writer was really experienced and qualified to write my resume, but could have asked me more questions to make sure there were no inconsistencies on my resume between what I've done and what she thought I did.

While I found significant improvement with my resume, I don't think their LinkedIn and cover letter services were that good. The LinkedIn uses a lot of info from the resume and doesn't add any neew element. The cover letter service is okay, but again - nothing special - something I would likely have been able to write myself.

While the initial draft of my resume by Lana at ResumeGo was well-written, it was not what I was going for. I sent several job descriptions of the types of positions I am applying for as requested, but it appears that was ignored as this was not incorporated in the resume. The revision process was not collaborative at all, and while I hoped to receive some guidance, she simply changed a few words here and there exactly as I suggested (even though I asked for her feedback). You are given 14 days and unlimited revisions, but when your writer is MIA for 7 of those days, it makes it difficult. Not to mention, I also paid for a cover letter and LinkedIn profile, and the cover letter is useless and the LinkedIn is an exact copy and paste of the resume. No one at the company seemed to care about my concerns as they are clearly only focused on quantity and profit. Back at square one with my resume.

I never used linkedin before so I went with resumego. They made it seem from their site like they would do everything, but from buying their services and t alking to my writer, they told me they would only give a word document containing the information I would use on my linkedin - aka I would need to enter in the information myself. While this was okay, I very much preferred them creating my account from scratch which is why I am giving a 3 star reveiw.

I was really disappointed with my experience. It took a week after paying and filling out the survey to get a response, the site says three days. It was a 20 minute phone discussion where I spent most of the time explaining key words in my field and what they mean. The two page resume that I provided was pretty much just rehashed into one page and took out all of the what I would consider meat. Completely deleted all of my patents, professional associations, and medical devices that have been approved by the FDA. It consisted of job history and keywords. The job history the writer didn't even pay attention too. I have 15 or so years of experience, but my resume only has the last 11. I explained that to the writer and got back a cover letter that says I only have 11 years of experience. The LinkedIn profile writing was a copy and paste of my cover letter, which was a rehash of my previous job experience verbatim. After 1 month, we are 0/25 on responses. Maybe worth 100$ to rewrite your existing resume into a new style, but nothing was based on any relevant articles I could find on resume writing.

ResumeGo is definitely a lot better than the other resume services I've tried. I still feel as though some things could have been a bit more nicely written but overall a solid job.

ResumeGo's resume scanner is definitely the best one I've come across online. It mimics ATS's which from my research, are used a lot by employers, so this has helped me learn a lot about whether my own resume is compatible with their algorithms.

I also ran across Jobscan's resume scanner and they were both super useful... I highly recommend people looking for jobs to see if their resumes can perform well when faced against applicant trackers by testing their resume on sites like the 2 I've come across.

I used their resume services to get my resume rewritten and was definitely super fond of what I ended up receiving. My writer was also very cordial and took the time to extensively go over my old resume with me from start to finish.

My only complaint is that I wished their prices were cheaper. As someone without a job, having to pay 300ish dollars for their services is definitely quite the investment. I do think that it will be worth it in the end though, and as already implied, the resume I got is what I have hoped for with their services.

I read about their resume research in an online WSJ article talking about work gaps. I haven't bee on the market for a couple years due to my health problems so thought I'd get professional help to see if they can set me in the right direction.

ResumeGo and their writer helped me get my whole career back on track by writing me an amazing resume that addresses all the concerns I have with my own career and its trajectory.

100/100 - definitely well worth the wait

Not the kind of person to leave a review for the fun of it, but these guys ACTUALLY turned my resume around and made it better. Got to show some appreciation when there's someone out there putting in real effort.

Props to em
