“Effortless Resume Transformation”

Vineet S.
2/6/24

The ResumeZest process is straightforward and effortless. I enjoyed working with Shelly, who captured my requirements and provided valuable advice on the best strategy to revamp my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile for executive roles. The result was a FANTASTIC transformation of everything, and the turnaround time was fast. Shelly's skills and expertise are excellent, and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for help with resume writing.

“Terrible - Generic and use AI”

Amanda P.
5/8/24

I recently used ResumeZest in hopes of receiving a personalized and polished resume and cover letter. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory.The resume format provided by ResumeZest was generic. Despite expecting a tailored layout that would highlight my skills and experience, what I received felt like a one-size-fits-all template. Even worse, one of my achievements was listed as part of my daily responsibilities, completely undermining the impact of my accomplishments. The revisions made to my original resume were minimal at best. The changes in verbiage were minimal, leaving me questioning the value of the service provided. It seemed that all the writer did was rearrange the format without truly enhancing the content. The cover letter provided by ResumeZest was almost identical to what could have been generated by an AI like ChatGPT. There was a lack of creativity and personalization, which defeated the purpose of seeking professional assistance in the first place. To add to my disappointment, when I expressed my dissatisfaction and requested a refund, ResumeZest refused to oblige. Instead, they offered to assign another writer to my case, but after such a disappointing experience, I couldn't bring myself to trust their services any longer. I had chosen ResumeZest over larger companies in the hopes of receiving a more personalized and creative service. However, it's evident that their small size did not translate to better quality or attention to detail. In hindsight, I realize I would have been better off opting for a larger company that offers similar services at a more affordable price. Based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend ResumeZest to others. Their lack of personalized attention, generic format, and refusal to provide a refund demonstrate a disregard for customer satisfaction. If you're seeking professional resume and cover letter services, I advise looking elsewhere for a more reliable and reputable provider.

I had the opportunity to work with Courtney Hays and she was absolutely amazing! She set up a call with me within a day of me signing up for the service and was very thorough in her questions, ensuring she captured all the information needed to update my resume. Courtney was quick to respond to all my message and had my updated resume with 48 hours. ResumeZest is a great company and would definitely use them again. If you sign up definitely request Courtney!

I cannot express strongly enough how impressed and appreciative I am of this company. My resume and LinkedIn profile turned out great. My writer, Shelly, was very responsive to my inquiries and was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. The 1 on 1 phone consultation I found to be especially helpful. I would 100% use this company again

Jessica Philippon conducted a thorough phone interview, was at all times delightful to talk with, and her resulting work was brilliant. I know ResumeZest guarantees resumes within two days but I agreed to a longer timeframe, as I wasn't in a hurry. And the resulting resume, letters, and LinkedIn document were better than I could have written even if I tried. Thank you so much, Jess and ResumeZest--you're the best!

Tip for consumers:
If you have the time, not rushing the process helps--writing is a creative process that develops with each day.

I worked with Shelly at Resume Zest because my resume was outdated and insufficient for the direction I am moving in healthcare. I have been a Registered Nurse for 16 years now! During that time I have held various staff, as well as contract jobs. After recently completing my Graduate Degree, I am applying to jobs with a leadership/management focus. Shelly was phenomenal and totally nailed it. She asked all the right questions to design my resume around my professional skills and education. In a short amount of time, I had a concise and comprehensible resume and cover letter. I received both over this last weekend and am already getting responses from jobs I applied to at that time. I cannot recommend Shelly enough at Resume Zest. I am highly impressed and happy with what I have received. Thank you so much Shelly!

ResumeZest and Shelly Roble provided outstanding service. The telephone consultation was very helpful and Shelly took the information we discussed during that call as well as information from my ineffective resume and created a new and much improved resume. She also prepared a great cover letter and will be creating content for my LinkedIn profile. The turnaround time was exactly as promised and Shelly quickly and accurately incorporated all of my suggestions for changes to the resume and cover letter. I am extremely satisfied with ResumeZest, Shelly Roble and the service I received from both.

Overall what a great experience! I want to personally thank Lori for all of the time and diligent work she did restructuring my resume. She was consistent about following up via email. She was insistent on getting my feedback and impressions on what I liked and any improvements I might be interested in. She is not only great at her craft but a please to work with!

Thank you Lori!

I used ResumeZest to redo my resume and LinkedIn profile. I couldn't be happier with the results I received. My resume has never looked better, not even after the tech writing class assignment with multiple reviews and lots of instructor help. After seeing what Shelly was able to do with my resume, I went back and purchased a cover letter. Shelly was able to high light my achievements and take my everyday work life and make it noteworthy to potential employers. I would definitely recommend Shelly and ResumeZest

Tip for consumers:
A bit more about the initial contact would have been nice but the entire interaction with Shelly was great!

My initial experience with ResumeZest was a bit problematic...because I did not provide them with sufficient information/material I thought I had sent. Put another way, I was the problem.

I wrote a separate (glowing) review of their performance, so please reference that item for a fuller discussion of how they exceeded my expectations.

Working with ResumeZest was a phenomenal experience. Shelly was a true professional! As someone with over 20 years of military experience, it has been a while since I've needed a resume. Shelly did a phenomenal job converting my military training and experience into quantifiable/measurable data for potential employers in corporate America. Highly recommend and will certainly utilize their services in future endeavors!

I absolutely recommend using Resume Zest! Jessica Philippon was my writer and she definitely knows her way around professional language. She was friendly, helpful, and on top of things. She was very open to making revisions to fit my needs but it was so well done there was nothing else I could have asked for.

What a lovely service to have. I was very happy with my own resume but also understood it needed a few tweaks. Tammy at ResumeZest transformed it in the best way possible. It looks great. The process was easy and quick - they know what they are doing and there wasn't a lot of back and forth. Definitely worth it!

Reasonably straightforward. My only confusion came with the pricing/description changes between entry -level and professional. Because yes I have have 5+ years of work experience but not for the job I want/degree I have. Thus I had hesitance picking out which service to get.
