About JobsReviews of gotthejob.com

I am extremely satisfied with the completed resume and the materials given to me by Don to assist in my job search. Don is very responsive if you have any concerns and really cares about his client's satisfaction with the service. I managed to get into a job with a large transportation company with outstanding benefits. I used the resume in conjunction with the linkedin networking tips to land the job. At the same time I was offered another position as a management consultant which I decided to do part time. That job was offered via a business connection from my past employer. Resume expectations have changed a lot over the years. It is very difficult to even get a call for an interview due to the vast amount of resumes recieved for each position. This service really helped me stand out from the crowd! I highly recommend the resume and LinkedIn services provided by Don and his staff! Thank you for everything!

I was skeptical about paying for any service to write a resume but then I heard that "your resume is your most important financial document". I decided this should be something I invest in. I went from $15 per hour to $45 per hour. I look so much more professional and the process that Don uses really unlocks your hidden skill set. Worth every penny!

As a senior executive with extensive tenure in his current role, it had been many years since completing a resume. Times have changed as have formats, style and the information being sought. My resume request is also somewhat unique as it is aimed at post-retirement Board positions. Don and his team hit the mark with my resume. It has taken 35 years of experience and concisely boiled it down to the relevant facts and highlights. Don took what I thought would be a painful experience and in a matter of a few days, delivered an outstanding work product. I couldn't be more pleased.

My resume writer was fantastic. She was able to turn my very blah resume into a very good resume. I had been searching with my old resume for 4 months and never heard anything back from any of the companies I applied with. Within the first week of using my new resume, I had interviews with three different companies, and I accepted a new job within 3 weeks after that. I very much appreciate the help my resume writer and About Jobs provided to me.

I had been looking for a job for about 6 months with no success. So I researched resume writing services and after speaking to Don Goodman and describing my situation I felt comfortable that they could provide a resume that would produce results. Well I was right! After filling out the questionnaire (which is a great exercise in itself as it made me remember things that I had not thought about) I had a telephone interview with my writer and received a first draft. I was very impressed as it not only positioned me appropriately, but it was attractive and easy to read. After one revision I approved it and they then prepared my LinkedIn profile. Right away I noticed that I was getting a big increase in LinkedIn views and in the first 2 weeks, I had 2 interviews scheduled. In short, I got the kind of job I was seeking along with a nice 15% salary increase. Everybody who saw the resume commented on how good it was and one recruiter even said it was one of the best he has seen. There are a lot of resume writers out there but I think that gotthejob.com is the best. Thanks to Don and his team I am looking forward to a great new job.

If you are looking for one place to improve your resume and your overall brand, this is the company to work with. There are a lot of resume services out there but this one is top of the line. The are professional, highly qualified and know every aspect of the what is needed to be successful. The owner is fully vested in the service and goes out of his way to help you achieve your objectives. Great team to work with. They don't stop until get an optimal package. Excellent service!!!

After weeks of research on resume writing companies out there from west coast to east coast, and speaking with many of them to get a gut check of competency, I agreed to move forward working with Don at gotthejob.com. When I say weeks of research, I literally evaluated likely three dozen resume writing websites, and spoke with around six over the phone from all over the country. Couldn't have made a better choice. Don connected me with Paula and during the initial interview call, we connected right away. I had preconceived notions on how the resume should look and what it should contain. After her collecting a lot of info from me, she consulted with Don on path forward (resume content and format). Basically, how they plan to sell me on paper. The first draft was great and required little adjustment suggestions from me. Turn-around was quick and the skill Paula used in wording my skills and abilities was awesome. I could not have done this "selling" by myself. I knew I needed a professional and she was just the right person for me. Don and her also helped me adjust my LinkedIn profile. I began getting noticed right away on my resume and after two months of dedicated job hunting on my part, I've secured a dream job overseas. While there may be lower cost resume writing options out there, the price for the service provided by gotthejob.com was well worth it. Please also keep in mind there are many companies I considered that cost more. I doubt I would have received any better service from them even paying almost double in some cases. Thanks again Paula and Don!

I can't tell you how impressed and pleased I was with GotTheJob services. At first I was hesitant to have someone I didn't know write my resume and coverletter because I feared that it would look like my old resume. Not so. I started the process by filling out a questionnaire that asked me detailed questions about what I'm doing in my current job and what I've done at prior jobs. After that, a senior writer interviewed me and asked me questions about what I wrote in the questionnaire, and also asked me for a verbal description as to what I was really looking for. I gave example job titles, and even gave an example job position online. This is important---when you write a resume, it has to be geared towards the position or at least TYPE of position you are applying for. You have to let the employer know that you know something about the position and that you actually read what the job entails. The short amount of time that it takes you to fill out the questionnaire and participating in the 20min interview is WELL WORTH IT. This is because you might be spending months spinning your wheels with a lack-of-luster resume like I did. It's not that I had a lot of negative feedback in the past---I just wasn't getting ANY feedback---employers and hiring managers would never get back to me at all, even after making a follow-up phone call to make sure they received my application materials, which was infinitely frustrating. I was impressed with how the senior writer understood what I wrote in the questionnaire and how she incorporated everything into the new resume and coverletter. I'm able to read my resume now and actually feel proud of the work I've done. As of a day ago, I just started applying for jobs using the new documents from GotTheJob, so we'll see what happens. When I called the main number at GotTheJob, I initially asked for a complete package (resume, coverletter, plus recruiter). Don, the person who processed this call, said that I should try to the resume and coverletter services first---he basically wasn't trying to sell me on this huge package unless he felt like I needed it. This is how GotTheJob already earned an A. The A+ service comes from how awesome the resume and coverletter look---you'll see for yourself. I highly recommend GotTheJob for these reasons. If you are going through a career transition like me, trust me. This will help you. To be specific---I earned my PhD in the biomedical sciences---transitioning out of that line of bench work into something that doesn't require a PhD can be a nightmare if you don't have a sense of the wording that you need on your resume and coverletter. Writers of resumes and coverletters have seen just about every situation you can imagine, so don't think that your situation is either too unique or unfixable. The particular package I purchased included a resume and coverletter in Word format, directions on how to use your package, a document that gave a list of job websites, a larger document with tips on how to land a job, and importantly, text versions of your resume. Why is this text version important? Because oftentimes, when you apply for a job online, the organization/firm won't allow you to upload these documents from a directory. In the case where you need to copy and paste your resume or coverletter into a field, you can do that by copying what's in the TEXT FILE that GotTheJob gives you and pasting it into the appropriate field. If you just copy and paste from a Word document, it's not going to look right. GotTheJob gave me so many other tips and heads-up in the hiring process. Thank you so much. I will recommend GotTheJob to people who are looking to either move up in their current position or are trying to make a major career transition.
