Final Draft Resumes Reviews 131

Helpful at uncovering what to put on resume from questions asked in regards to job.

Really improved my resume and cover letter. Vastly improved my LinkedIn profile and got my profile noticed immediately.

Very thorough and professional; one thing I really liked is that he doesn't try to up-sell you on anything (I bought the resume + LinkedIn profile makeover, and he explained to me the potential use of a LinkedIn profile and a cover letter rather than trying to aggressively sell it to me).

In the four or so weeks since I got my completed resume, I've gotten three interviews (no job landed yet, but that's not the resume's fault of course) so there's definitely value here, and I definitely recommend.

This is my first time using a resume writing service, and with the rise of generative AI via ChatGPT I felt that it was more necessary than ever to have professional help to make my job application package stand out from the crowd.

Working with James was an easy-breezy experience; the phone interview was comprehensive with prompt turn-around timings between revisions of my resume. He also helped ensure that the formatting matched my work experience as a consultant. The only warning I'd give to new prospective customers reading this review would be that scheduling the initial phone interview to start the process has quite a long lead time (mine was close to a month out before he had availability), so if you're thinking about hiring James make sure you take that into account when thinking about your job search timeline.

I recently contracted James for the full package (Resume, Cover Letter and LinkedIn profile). It took around 1 month to book the initial intake appointment, but after that James was extremely quick and responsive in turning around a high quality package. He supported with an unusual request, and was very professional throughout.

As the saying goes, "the proof is in the pudding"...
I had been receiving minimal callbacks prior to James' help. After circulating my new resume for a few days I am already getting call backs for senior positions. That's a huge win.

I couldn't be happier.

James did a great job tailoring my resume and Linkedin profile. The result was great & would definitely recommend.

This was my second time using James’ services and I can say I’m a happy return customer. James was great to work with from start to finish and was quick to provide further revisions after the initial resume draft was sent over. Working in an industry with a lot of technical jargon, James helped thread the needle of what was important without being overly specific or overly broad.

Turnaround time was quick after the phone call, but availability was limited prior to doing so. It took about a month and a half (I originally reached out around the holidays), but after the phone call it took less than a week to have my resume back in hand.

My resume was full of different experiences and I had difficulty sorting out my relevant tasks and achievements. Not only Final Draft has provided me with a much better product, but they also made sure to listen to me and chat before starting to work on it. I truly recommend them.

James did a terrific job of assisting me with revising and fine-tuning my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. I am an experienced lawyer with an unusual background (held many different jobs) and have had a significant gap since my last employment. James listened to my concerns and helped me present myself in the best possible light. He was professional, empathetic, and delivered on time.

James delivered a step-change in quality of my resume, and gave me a new framework by which to think about and communicate my professional experience that's resonating very well with hiring managers. Well worth it — thank you!

James was very professional, and definitely delivered thorough documents. The scheduling was a bit longer than I would have liked but people in high demand are seldom in a position to react immediately. The schedule that he outlined in the introductory call was adhered to and very fast response on few changes to first draft.

James saved me! I have been having a hard time landing jobs and gave in to hiring somebody to help me update my resume. First I hired a person {not going to name their company} who was getting a lot of comments on his TikTok about how he has helped a lot of people. And was very popular in the social networks. I gave in and hired him. It was the worst experience I had hiring somebody else. The price was so high and I had to pay separately for a cover letter. I did not even get to work with him he assigned me a consultant to work with and the consultant was worse. The consultant was just entering the contents of my current resume in a tool to rephrase it and made me choose which one I think was best. It was a nightmare! They promised a new resume within a week and it was two weeks in and still no new resume for me. I ended up asking for a refund and was left scarred from that experience.

Then I learned about Final Drafts resume through Reddit. I was hesitant at first but decided to try and hire him. Then the one on one interview with James convinced me that he was the right one. He listened and asked me relevant questions to get to know me and goals for finding a job. In a week the promised new resume with cover letter has been delivered and I got the job I wanted soon after.

If I were to need updates on my resume I now know who to call again.

Don't be like me and be fooled by those who promote on social media platforms that they make really good resume updates. Stick to the authentic and results proven James from Final Draft resumes.

The best part of Final Draft Resumes is their willingness to have a one-hour phone call to get an understanding of your career and experiences. You are truly heard and represented very well on your resume.

James is truly thorough with creating my resume. I would absolutely recommend his services.

Truly, read through James's notes when confirming your appointment in your calendar. Wonderful preperation for your appointment.

James was very helpful in getting the core of my resume completed and helped me finetune it to match up with Tech Sales Jobs. A few weeks later and I have 8+ interviews lined up.

It's absolutely satisfying to work with a team that can immediately translate your work into presentable qualities. There are so many things I do daily that I didn't even think were worth talking about, and James immediately made it clear what value that brings to a team. I'd spent hours working on my resume, trying to understand what to showcase, and after just a few fantastic phone calls, James had completely blown away anything I had come up with myself. Not only is my resume extremely well-polished, but I've also had multiple colleagues and mentors tell me how well it presents my experience, skills, and accomplishments. I've since recommended them to everyone I've talked to and will continue to do so.

James asked very thoughtful questions during our call and translated it into an extremely professional resume well-suited for my aspirations and industry. I’d absolutely recommend.

Had a good phone call discussing my experience and how to transfer from the military to the civilian sector. Few days went by and had a great resume that's helped me a lot in my job search.

Clearly a professional with years of experience. Amazing service with attention to detail.

The experience was great, James was attentive and answer all questions I had in regards of resume. With the resume and cover letter from Final Draft Resumes, I received more responses and feedbacks.
