Let's Eat, GrandmaReviews of letseatgrandma.com

Absolutely the worst experience with a career service I have ever had. Expects customers to be flexible in a tight market while refusing to actually provide specific and concrete feedback to improve their career positioning. With the state of the market (poor) you can achieve the same 2.5% without spending $800+ on LEG. The owner, Matt, will be a nice guy on the phone and then refuse to accommodate your requests when he under-delivers. For context, Matt spent 45 minutes yesterday providing vague feedback even when asked to get specific. LEG built the resume and LinkedIn presence, and then when confronted on the misalignment between his stated 5-10% app -> interview rate, Matt chose to blame me. Which is strange since LEG provided the materials that only achieved 2.5% interview rates. Clients pay a resume service to get specific and be helpful with converting applications -> interviews. Matt failed miserably at both of those benchmarks, and instead of being flexible, helpful, and taking accountability. He chose to blame the client, and you can hear his contempt for his customers in his response below. I paid $800+ and Matt feels his "complimentary phone call" affords him the leisure to underdeliver and avoid any accountability. I asked for another writing session to improve the resume's performance to reach Matt's stated 5-10% app -> interview rate; he told me to pound sand. It should come to no one's surprise that Matt didn't mention that detail in his response. Now he's trying to save face on Trustpilot. Do not do business with Matt. Avoid Let's Eat Grandma.

I think it is a scam. A lot of grammatical errors.

I contacted LGE in late January to inquire about their resume and LinkedIn optimization services as I was looking to transition to a new job. Having heard positive reviews about LGE's services on the Career Warrior podcast, I had high expectations. I believed that their work would enhance my visibility on LinkedIn and result in more interview opportunities. However, upon sharing the final products with my peers, including recruiters in my field, the feedback was not as positive as I had hoped. They felt that the resume made me appear incompetent, overqualified, and uninteresting. Similar concerns were raised about my LinkedIn profile, with some describing it as "keyword-stuffed." I shared this feedback with LGE's COO, Matthew Villanueva, and while he believed the resume was good, he expressed concerns about my LinkedIn profile. He did provide some recommendations and I agreed to follow up with him the next week. During our follow-up conversation, I presented data showing that the resume and LinkedIn profile were performing poorly, with metrics declining. While I understand that resumes and LinkedIn optimizations do not guarantee interviews, I had expected to see some improvement. However, it was disheartening to find that my old resume was outperforming the one created by LGE. Instead of addressing the issues, Matthew seemed disinterested. He indicated that a rewrite of the resume and LinkedIn profile was not possible and offered a 50% refund instead of a full refund. I find it disappointing that despite the data and market feedback suggesting that the resume was not effective, LGE stood by their work. This experience has led me to question the professionalism and integrity of the services provided, especially in contrast to the positive image they portray on their podcasts and other media platforms. It appears that their focus may be more on financial gain and capitalizing on desperate job seekers rather than delivering a high-quality product for a steep price. For those reasons, and many more, I cannot recommend Let's Eat Grandma to anyone. Save your money.

It was a total waste of investment. I explained the total input to the writer, and the produced package was unsatisfactory. They contacted me later on and started arguing and didn't do anything. I just wasted my money on them and I'm going to another company instead of them. Probably I ended up with the wrong selected writer but overall it was not a good experience to recommend to others

I wish I could say this was a productive experience, but it was not. My resume writing experience was frustrating and did not produce a resume that met my expectations. It took over one month and two resume writers for a B level deliverable. The “expert” writer who replaced the novice, put the wrong email address on my resume. This was the final draft. A complete lack of detail and care for my $400 resume revision. I am an Human Resources leader. Every time someone asks for a recommendation for a professional resume writing service I make sure to mention not to use this service. An absolutely cumbersome process with a so so result for a

A sheer waste of time and money. Basically, an over-priced formatting service. The writing was so low level and fallow, I had to re-write it myself SEVERAL times as the writer either was too over-worked or couldn't be bothered to actually read my revisions and implement them. This meant MUCH more time for me and he (maybe) spell checked it and entered in some comma-splices. If you're a non-native speaker or someone just looking for a reformat, sure give them 360 bucks or whatever. Otherwise, don't bother. I did my due diligence, read reviews and comparisons and was led to believe LEG was the best for entry, middle and lower senior-level applicants. I would say I am in the later group and I was embarrassed by the insouciant language and lack of intellectual understanding my writer possessed. The fact that he didn't bother to read my revisions and just copy/pasted what I wrote in--without any editing--is pretty intolerable. This has to be the most unprofessional professional service out there. Run from Grandma--lest you be eaten yourself!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. The claims of Let's Eat, Grandma (LEG) are essentially flawed propaganda and marketing spin. They claim an 8 week training program for their staffers. This is laughable. LEG can't deliver an on time product with proper grade school level grammar. It might be 8 minute training but 8 weeks is a complete joke. LEG tote the Certified Professional Resume Writer title. I'd suggest this is a self-made title with a self-made organization for the purposes of skewed promotion. It's a known "trick" that has been used many, many times to try to make a company seem more credible than it is. Create a phantom organization to add credibility. LEG is nothing more than a typing service. They offer no creativity in formatting the documents as they promise. They type what the customer wants. What they type is flawed, incorrect and error filled. The customer spends more time correcting LEG's errors that actual progress. The LEG contacts are primarily a bunch of Cornell alumni with real day jobs with LEG as a side job; or side hustle. You can't see this from their website when you are researching. It's only until you make your purchase, are introduced to your contact person and can research their respective LinkedIn profiles does this becomes evident. There's no formal brick and mortar physical address. It's all sketchy. Very sketchy. If you are an inexperienced first time job seeker with no career experience this company is targeting you. Why? They market themselves as somewhat of an expert. A unique name. A bright website. Lots of marketing emails. Podcasts. It looks promising. Let me assure you, LEG is nothing that they promise. However, if you don't know any better you'd think LEG is. DO NOT FALL FOR THE LEG SPIN. The product they generate is low / poor quality. LEG's reference material is cut and paste from other reputable websites. In my experience with LEG their ability to keep promises and deadlines is by in large non-existent. The company founding brothers ask potential clients to contact them via their LinkedIn profiles. I did. I heard NOTHING back from them. Nothing. More propaganda and spin. Like I said; it's very sketchy. LEG actually admitted in writing, I have the emails, that they could not deliver a senior level / executive resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. The person I was dealing with, she was in London, England, missed EVERY promised deadline she made. She tried to negotiate a partial refund due to my complete dissatisfaction only to try and change the terms of the agreement after the fact. This shows the extremely low levels of integrity of LEG's operations and the person I dealt with. It took far too much of my time to work to finally get a full refund for the LEG services NOT rendered. Multiple emails. You can't call LEG as they don't have a phone number. You might be able to get the phone number of the contact person; if they don't hide their number when they reach out to you. Trust me, you want to get their phone number so they can't run and hide. Only with a promise of legal action against the individual, a so called "supervisor", was I able to eventually get a full refund. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
