I had the pleasure of working with Kate Williamson - Certified Resume Writer/Consultant to Great Resumes Fast. I sincerely appreciate her efforts and professionalism in producing a good quality resume. It is not easy to find the right balance (scientific, technical, non-technical) for every field of endeavour, however Kate through her education, experience, hard work and acumen manages this very well. Jessica is always there in the background managing every case and providing right level of support as she sees fit. Thank you Jessica!

Clearly above expectation. I was genuinely impressed with Kate's work. Lots of strategic insights (how to structure summary, selecting optimal words, selecting right experience, etc.) and attention to details (formatting, header/footer, page split, boarders/colors, etc.) which I have never been aware of after reading some resume-writing books and taking tutorials. I thought I would have never been able to reach this quality of resume by myself even after spending several years on trial-and-error, without her help. After a few months, resume and LinkedIn have been very powerful and effective, and have led to multiple strong inquiries and helped the interview process significantly, leading to a strong offer and a few interviews ongoing. For the first-time users, to maximize the impact and accelerate the process, a few suggestions/tips would be: 1. Fully leverage your past existing resumes and documents and share with the consultant, rather than only relying on the phone interview 2. Explicitly and proactively tell the big picture, strategy, intention, background, concerns, target companies/positions, etc. at the initial interview, rather than just answering what you are asked. The more you share the holistic picture, the sharper/deeper the output will be, and you will end up spending less time for revisions later. 3. It's okay and probably necessary to run a few cycles of revisions and tweaks to get to the honed final output. First draft is 80-90% quality, but final 10-20% will be done through 2nd and 3rd drafts, ironing out minor nuances, wording, and visuals. 4. If you are not sure about some ideas/strategies of the consultant, it's totally okay and appropriate to ask the intention behind that. I found most of the time she had deeper insights/expertise which I wasn't aware of, but knowing it was very helpful and enhanced my confidence. It's more an interactive/collaborative teamwork, rather than just throwing an order and output coming automatically/mechanically. Develop trust with each other through the process.

I worked with Chelsea Kerwin at Fast Resumes. She was very responsive and helpful in focusing on key points of my experience and knowledge. It was a collaborative process that made it easy and a pleasure to work on. Chelsea was always responsive and efficient with our time working together. She was creative and skilled at designing the document so that key information was placed to draw attention and convey the image needed to succeed. Chelsea was just as adept at crafting my linked in page to convey the professional image that I wanted. She reviewed my recommendations and comments, incorporating items that were important to me in a way that provided a product that I was extremely pleased with. I would highly recommend this service and definitely use it again.

I worked with Chelea Kewin to formulate a new resume strategy and update my LinkedIn page with my experience and the latest SEO trends. She did an amazing job! She spent the time to interview me several times to fully understand my background and experience. Then she was able to convey just the right strategy and experience in my resume. I highly recommend them and would use them again.

The last time I prepared a proper resume was when I first started working 15+ years ago. A recruiter called me for a position that sounded very interesting and I started the process of creating a new resume, with hopes it would take me about a week. I quickly realized that I was going to need help and based on the reviews, I thought Great Resumes Fast sounded like they would be a good fit. Kate was assigned to help me. I put a lot of effort into preparing for the interview as ultimately I wanted the resume to reflect who I am and to authentically represent me. Kate and I discussed my background at length, my motivations for updating my resume as well as personality traits. When the resume came back, my expectations were exceeded. Visually, it was clean and crisp but comprehensive, avoided stale terminology and old styling, but I think best of all it marketed me strongly while staying true to my experience, which I was struggling to pull together on my own. I had a trusted mentor review the resume, leading to some minor revisions with a few other career highlights he suggested to include, but he was impressed with it! I also had my father review it - he writes professionally and is an old school grammar stickler - and he was impressed that the resume didn't have any common grammatical or vocabulary mistakes. Finally, the HR Head at the company contacting me mentioned what an excellent resume it was and I landed the interview - during the interviews the resume was the perfect springboard for selling my experience. All in all, I couldn't be more pleased and would (and already have) recommended Great Resumes Fast to friends. Thanks!!

Jessica, A little feedback regarding my experience... I spoke with you a few months ago regarding your service. At that time, given my financial situation, I was extremely hesitant about forking over the funds for the service. In all honesty, it took me about 20 minutes to get up the nerve to actually hit the submit button on your site. Once submitted, buyer's remorse immediately set in. Looking back now, it was worth EVERY penny. I was partnered with Maggie Graham. From the onset of our very first conversation, Maggie made me feel like I was her top priority. Together we collaborated and achieved a wonderful synergy. Maggie’s patience, professionalism and dedication were outstanding. She truly listened to my ideas and provided honest feedback and guidance. I am extremely picky! I’m sure if you would ask her, she would probably agree that I was one of her more challenging clients. With that being said however, she handled all of our interactions with such grace and never once made me feel as though I was pushing too hard. She knew I wasn't going to be satisfied until my documents were TOP-NOTCH. I continued to push and she continued to deliver and exceed my expectations. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and her personality made the whole process very enjoyable. She approached everything with a sense of urgency and her turn-around time was fantastic. I feel as though she went above and beyond the call, often times receiving emails from her on weekends and late evenings! I am very confident that the cover letter and resume we produced will open many doors in the near future. Overall, I am EXTREMELY satisfied with my entire experience with GreatResumesFast and will recommend every chance I get!

it took me a long time to select a resume company. Trusting your resume to an individual creates apprehension and is quite personal. And to be perfectly honest expensive! Great Resumes Fast listened to my concerns, followed through completely and assigned a writer that fits my individual needs. I have received my resume for review and look forward to completing this process.

I truly could not have asked for a better experience! I love that I felt able to get my vision across with ease to my lovely consultant, Stacie. After just two one-hour phone calls and a few emails, I was presented with a fantastic resume and cover letter far beyond my expectations! I would definitely reccomend Great Resumes Fast to anyone!
