Find My ProfessionReviews of findmyprofession.com

After 20+ years working in government settings, I reached out to Find My Profession to help craft a resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile that would work for private sector. The expert who was assigned to me immediately got to work on creating the perfect resume and profile. She asked thoughtful questions, and took the time to ensure to understand my goals for post government employment. Within days I had a cover letter, new profile and perfectly crafted resume that required very few adjustments. Requested edits were returned quickly. The whole process was completely painless and Marissa was a joy to work with! I would definitely use Find My Profession again! It was worth the cost.

Truly horrific experience and a waste of money. Please do NOT believe the slick reviews and marketing. I received terrible service. Yes, the slapdash resume they produced definitely looks more tailored than my original one but it is not worth anything like $600 (I think the woman who did the work probably spent a total of 90 mins plugging in key words and revising the format). It will have to do until the happy day I find a professional who is TRULY interested in working with me to create a good resume. Here is the background story, I am an IT professional earning good six-figure salaries. All of my job offers for the past couple of decades were from resumes I developed. I was looking to improve the quality of the resume and hopefully enter a new stage in my career so I contacted this company and everything (initially) was fine and dandy. Then the disaster occurred. They paired me with an old school writer, heavy handed and condescending, whose methods were better oriented to the 1980s hiring practices than anything currently used in Technology. When I requested a new resume writer, who actually was familiar with IT and had worked with other IT professionals, they assigned a new person (took over a week) who again knew NOTHING about Technology (she asked 'what is Linux?' - Is she not able to do a Google search???). At the first meeting with this individual, she complained that she had to take on my resume, implying that her other clients were her 'real work' and mine was just an hassle (nice customer service). This woman was disagreeable and not interested in putting any effort into revising my resume. My impression was she was trying to get rid of the work as soon as possible. When I asked for revisions (that I had been assured by their customer rep would be forthcoming - see the email, below) the writer made it clear she had no intention of revising the resume - and so they transferred me to a THIRD person. This is what was promised by the customer rep: "While our website states a 1 week unlimited revision period, we do not limit you to just 1 week. Your writer will work with you on any edits/revisions until you are 100% satisfied with your resume. Your writer will also be very responsive during your writing process and you will be in communication with them throughout. Once you have received your first draft, you may schedule another phone consultation with your writer to discuss any revisions that you would like your writer to complete." This is Completely and 100% untrue. They were not responsive. They were not interested in my satisfaction. There was only one phone consultation and it was so unpleasant that I wanted nothing more to do with this individual. Very disagreeable experience. They also promised lots of additional material that would help me customize my resume for specific job positions. The one page PDF they sent was a joke. It had text like this (and this is an exact copy of what they sent): "The title is your target position; change it as needed based on job posting. These are three subtitles or three major keywords/core competencies under the title; change as needed." This is information you can find anywhere on the Web, there is nothing new or helpful here. If you are very young, starting off on your career, and you have money to burn, then perhaps this company will help improve your resume. HOWEVER, if you are a professional, with an established and successful career - BEWARE, this company is as close to scammers as I have ever encountered. I am sharing this review widely to prevent other people from being burned. UPDATE: the company's reply, below, is COMPLETELY UNTRUE. After I posted this review, they sent an email threatening to stop work on the revision because of the review. I have posted a screenshot of their email on other review platforms. Search for it so you can see what an unscrupulous group of individuals are running this fraudulent scam.

Marissa was great! The project was collaborative, and the work product was fantastic.

Review Travis for findmyprofession.com Travis is a professional that helped me find different opportunities to apply for this past year. Travis always provided many job opportunities for me to use over the past year. Also, the networking was helpful in building a more robust network of connections. Even though we were unsuccessful in finding a job the experience was good. I would recommend Travis to anyone looking for assistance in a very difficult situation.

Pamela did a fantastic job at being not only flexible but personal. After sending in the required information asked of me to help build my resume, Pamela followed up with great questions that allowed me to make myself more personable in my resume and helped her gear the tone of voice to the proper audience. Additionally, her flexibility to take on a CV letter immediately after the resume as a separate purchase was flawless. I could not be any happier than I currently am with my experience.

Paula from Find My Profession was incredibly helpful from the moment we connected, right through the entire process. Paula was responsive, was able to capture and tell my story to put me in the best position possible in the market. Thank you Paula for all of your help, it has been a pleasure being able to work with you and know I am in such good hands.

Rebecca provided timely response and high quality work. I especially like the efficient communication and alignment over the phone.

Pam, my resume writer, was knowledgeable, professional, and highly skilled. She made sure that all of my concerns were addressed and that an accurate and impactful resume and Linkedin profile were created. Thanks so much for your help Pam!
