About JobsReviews of gotthejob.com

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.

The material was well researched and v. helpful. Resume assistance was great. The recruiter blast needs to be more attuned to the needs of the candidate.

I have been on the job hunt for months. In just a couple of weeks with my new resume I am getting interviews from the size companies I had in my target list. Furthermore, the help with the LinkedIn profile has produced inquiries from staffing companies. This was not happening prior to working with Don and his company. They have helped me create my personal marketing piece and brand. If you are a job seeker stop wasting valuable time and money. Make the investment in yourself and future by working with the professionals. I am thrilled I did.

The team of writers at gotthejob are very professional and know their industry. Not only did I get an excellent resume, but any questions I had about the best way to approach getting an interview was answered. I received two phone interviews within first week of sending out my resume for a director position. I also went from one view on LinkedIn a day to over 10!!!! Definitely one of the smartest business investments I made in myself!!! Thankyou again to don and Paula for your professionalism, and expertise. Everything that was promised was delivered within a few days!!!

With the massive lay offs happening, there are a lot of good people who are looking for jobs and it would be really hard just to get you noticed or shortlisted. A former colleague of mine told me to try the services of Don Goodman. At first, I was hesitant considering the amount of money you will be spending but I went through with it anyway. I must say that it was one of the best decisions I made! When I got my final package and started with my job search, I was surprised to get a lot of emails and phone calls from recruiters. My resume was getting noticed by multinational companies. It took me only a month or two in the market when I got numerous job offers. It is true that a good written resume will help you land the job that you want. Don have provided not just a resume but he gave me back my self esteem and helped me land a career I have been dreaming of. By the way, my husband have also availed his services and we are referring him to all of our close friends. Thanks Don and Pam. You guys are the best!

I have leveraged Don and his team twice in five years. His consultative style combined with excellent fact-finding result in a beautiful representation of your career. It's kind of like getting a new haircut when, at the end of the session, they turn the chair around and you simply can't believe how good you look. :-) Don's team is terrific at highlighting your accomplishments in a way that you probably can't. Even though I'm not currently looking, I just had Don refresh my resume to reflect the latest styles and OCR readability in addition to my new work experience. I'm extremely pleased once again. If you are serious about having potential employers see you in the best possible light, you will have Don's team go to work for you.

I am very pleased with both quality and the service I received from Don's resume writing service. I am definitely recommending to others. Quick responses, answered all my questions, and delivered everything they promised.
