I engaged a firm for a "C-suite Level Package" to enhance my executive resume, including a biography, with expedited service, costing $1,300. My high expectations were unmet. The cover letter lacked customization, failing to showcase my strengths or align with my career goals, rendering it ineffective. The LinkedIn content deviated from my indicated career direction, emphasizing renewable energy, which is not my focus, thus unusable. The biography merely summarized my career timeline, offering no distinctive value beyond what my resume provided.
The resume, despite being visually appealing, had issues. It was purportedly redesigned to avoid age discrimination by omitting dates, which could raise questions about my recent experience. Furthermore, contrary to the company's claims, the resume did not pass Applicant Tracking System (ATS) compliance tests on several platforms, scoring poorly, which means it wouldn't likely get past initial recruiting software screens.
After these disappointments, I sought a refund, which was denied. I proposed a compromise, which was also refused. My experience leads me to caution others as a potential buyer beware situation. Without a refund or a satisfactory resolution, my stance remains firm.
