I wasn't going to write a review however the results of the service just didn't sit right with me. I may have gaslighted myself thinking 'of course, this'll be good these are pros' based on also all the reviews. I had Joy, who was kind.I genuinely do not believe there were any major improvements on my resume. A lot of my own sentences were the same and any information I gave upon request was just copy pasted without any editing. For instance, if I put in parentheses the manor in which I wanted that info to be communicated both the parentheses and info would be on the resume.There were grammatical errors, mixed up timeline/experience and classic resume/cover letter Don'ts. For instance, photo, background image marks, incorrect narration, etc.I consented, going against what I know to be true only because I wanted to put trust into this person as it's a service I'm paying for after all.I truly feel like I would've had a better chance submitting my original resume.I also wanted just a classic resume or baseline cover letter that I can utilize in the future for different applications without having to change the entirety of the information. But I kept being told to be specific for one job/avenue, which okay sure, but it did feel like a money thing as I was told that I'd have to pay for another resume/cover letter. In my mind that only made sense for someone with a lot of experience which I don't have so it's not like the experience specifics would change drastically if at all.My package was also meant to include a LinkedIn profile yet that just never happened.All in all I don't feel like it was worth the money and actually may have set me back. As the client I'm the one who should be making this amount of mistakes or errors not the professional. It was disappointing with how involved I need to be in the editing process it really made me concerned as to whether or not they proof read at all.Maybe some review are genuine in there successful experience however that was not my experience and I relate more to some other negative reviews.

The only good thing I received wit Career HD, was the format. I had used them in April 2020 and it was an awful experience.I am frustrated with the service I had received from CareerHD. I had a writer (Rehannah), where she did not provide any services, did not listen to what I had requested, and the resume was poorly written. It looked rushed with a a lot of grammatical errors, and incorrect information.She had mixed up my previous employment, used the same sentences in every job description, and even spelled my name incorrectly several times. When I had brought it up, she was extremely apprehensive to edit it.I had paid for a premium service, and all the details along with the customer service was awful. The service was well over $400 and I had to ask several times, for certain items that were part of the package, I have yet to receive.When I had mentioned all the errors via e-mail, not only were they apprehensive to assist, they were frustrated, that I would ask for a re write after the first time; I received a .pdf of the resume that I had originally provided them.When I had asked for a re write, I received a “revision” , however it was the same experience that was copied and pasted for all of my employment experience.They had a guarantee, if you do not receive an interview after 4 months, they will get a new writer and rewrite your resume.They did not honour that.I do not recommend CareerHD.I am certain other people would be better, but if you get Rehannah or Anna. I would advise to request for a different writer.

WOW! I don't know what to say! That's an enormous improvement over my résumé. You drew the line between mediocrity and excellence. Thank you Jacki you are the best !

I purchased the Resume & Cover Letter Mid-Career package in May 2022Attached to the review is the first page of the resume I received as part of the package ( with sensitive information replaced with placeholder text )I don't know if it is written in this way to pass through automated resume filters, but for a human reader, this reads like it was generated via some sort of translation or thesaurus softwareI couldn't recommend this service to anyone applying to jobs where a real person may actually read your resume.

Newcomers to Canada beware. If you dont have the experience in North America to apply in senior jobs a boost to your resume will not help at all with your job search. This is part of the feedback I received from Anna Dushkina at CarrerHD when I reached back to CarrerHD after my new resume they had prepared for me had absolutely no traction in 10 momths. Now I completely disagree with this point from Anna and went to another company to redo the my resume and in less than a month time I got 3 call backs for interviews. Very disappointed with Carreer HD and strongly recommend people to search for other options in the market. I did and in less than a month saw the results.

I finally made the decision to have my resume professionally done and I'm glad I did. Anna worked with me and not only was she really great to work with, but she knew I had an upcoming interview and sent me a good luck. Anna updated both my resume and cover letter and it looks great. Looks so much more professional than what I had done and highlights the key areas that job postings tend to look for.

It was a very pleasant and productive experience revising and updating my resume' with Joy Halfpenny. She was very professional and personable.The new resume’ looks much more organized and professional and I am excited to see what new opportunities it creates for me.

I can't get the decent job which I am working at now without her help. I mean this ma'am gave me a lot. She made my first-shot interview in this country a made-shot. I'm dead serious. She knows how bad is my English and how nervous I was at first. But finally she helped me made it anyway. What can I say. Great done. She changed my life.

Kimberley

12:11 31 May 22

I had a great experience working with Joy. She assisted with taking my resume from average to exceptional. The process was seamless and she walked me through the process from start to finish.Joy provided a cover letter, resume and multiple follow-up/thank you letters for me to reference. I am grateful that I invested in CareerHD who supported me in taking my career to the next level.I have no regrets in deciding to hire a professional and organized resume writing service who not only provided the documents I need but also supported me in my desire to take the next step in my career.

It was such a pleasure to work with Rebecca. She’s definitely an expert in career coaching, LinkedIn optimization, and resume writing. Her genuine support and hands-on interview techniques helped me become more confident and successfully land a job at my dream company.

After some time spent on research I found these guys are on those on the top, with different kind of rewards and impressive reviews. And it’s who they really are! If you want to make the process of writing smooth, structured and in professional manner don’t look to the price because you will return your money in no time because of getting many job offers. Basically it’s is the one of the most secure investments. Rebecca is one of those who makes dreams true and whose writing talent is outstanding.I hope everyone will feel the same as me and good luck with your future career!I wish the company to stay on the top and help their clients to get what they desire!Thanks,

I was dealing with Anna through email. She gave me the choice of packages they offer. I picked the Entry level package as this was my daughter's first time entering the job market. When I asked for the Resume & Cover letters to be specific to my daughters needs Anna stopped the correspondence. Not a very good impression for a first time client.

Anna is great! She helped me walk through every experience I had and polished the content in detail. Very efficient and highly professional

Excellent customer service and turn around time. Alice squeezed me in even though the writers were very busy. The 24 hour and 48 hour rush service were sold out but she made the 48 hr rush option available to me regardless. Due to a glitch, I paid for the 24 hr rush and the writer, Anna, honoured the option. I received a quality resume to my liking in a short period. Anna was pleasant to work with. She was professional and friendly. I also had a wonderful experience speaking with Alice at the beginning who helped connect me to Anna.

My experience with CareerHD was great, Joy was very professional, she helped me identify all the weaknesses in my resume and cover letter, and crafted great documents for me that exceeded my expectations.She also answered all my questions, provided me with good advice, and shared her experiences with me to continue my job hunt as a foreigner.I'm very happy with the outcome and working with her was really smooth, I recommend this service.

I researched few companies for resume writers and saw some good reviews on CareerHD and I will be honest I was hesitant at first. However, process was smooth form initial meeting to discuss what package is for me based on the experience and what I am looking for. I was assigned to some who is more knowledgeable in my industry and type of work I do. I had to do some homework on my end and provide some information, type of work , achievements to give a little background on myself to help get started. Then I had a consultation with Rebecca and the meeting went very well. She is professional, excellent listener and really did a fantastic job listening to what I was looking for. I was really surprised how well Rebecca had understood what I was looking for based on my experience. Not sure what I was expecting to be honest given that its the first time I looked in to a service for professional resume writing. When I received the first draft of the resume and cover letter I was absolutely impressed how she took 5 pages and brought it down to 2 pages. The wordings, the objectives and the skills added, and the formatting was fantastic and very professional. Rebecca amplified the descriptions to the next level and reading the resume was smooth flow. The cover letter also was very professional and smooth flow. Everything fell into the right place of describing from beginning to the end. There was no editing required I was very very impressed with the services. After seeing the results it was well worth what I have spent. I highly recommend CareerHD for Professional resume writing and highly recommend Rebecca. Great work.

I was looking for job and after 6 months I got one job interview. After doing a quite bit of search on the internet, I ended up with asking CareerHD to revise my resume. I worked with Rebecca about three months ago. In three months with my updated resume, I got about 8 job interviews and last week I signed offer :). Rebecca is very professional and she respected all time lines. I strongly suggest CareerHD as a professional resume developers.Cheers

I have been working with CareerHD for over 2 years, each time I am coming back to update my resume for a new promotion and help with interview coaching. Recently I have sought out career coaching as well, and they did not disappoint. I was beginning to feel unhappy in my current career and needed support re-evaluating my next steps. Thank you CareerHD, I would definitely recommend all of their services.

Jeanne Banks

02:03 26 Dec 21

After 15 years of not working it is quite intimidating re-entering the job market, but Careerhd made sure I was well equipped to start my new journey. I got the job and cannot thank Anna and her team enough for setting me up for success.

I have recently made the decision to completely transition into a new type of role and sought out help from CareerHD with their Career Counselling service. I knew what I wanted but did not know how to strategically get there. I also had my resume and cover letter updated in the process and after one month of working with CareerHD I feel confident with my action items and goals.

William Bogar

03:33 02 Dec 21

Overall great experience, I had initially started working with Anna last year and then was introduced to another writer (Emily) to update my resume and cover letter for another job. I got the job and was pleased with my final result and the customer service with CareerHD.

I was very pleased with the service provided by CareerHD. Kate was very helpful and generous with her time, and the resume/cover letter she created for me were exactly what I was looking for. I would not have been able to make something of this quality myself. I definitely recommend CareerHD and Kate Orland Bere to anyone who wants a quality resume, or is looking to enhance their current one.

I am very satisfied with the final product after using CareerHD’s resume writing services. Throughout the process my writer communicated with me effectively and addressed all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. Rebecca did a fantastic job on my resume and I couldn’t be happier with the end result, and in addition to this she provided me with some incredibly valuable advice to assist me with my job search. I feel much more confident after having gone through this process, and would definitely consider using this service again in the future if I needed to.

I had a very positive experience working with Rebecca B. Rebecca was so attentive and her calming approach really helped me feel less stressed with the whole process. Her expertise, helpful tips and guidance to ensure I was on the right track was much appreciate it - she really cared about my goals and plans. It would have been a challenge to juggle work and home life in the midst of a pandemic while trying to meet a very tight deadline for a job posting that I was targeting. Sincere thank you for the exceptional service and support. I highly recommend CareerHD to anyone who is looking for high quality service with a big heart! Thank you!!

Anna helped me with my resume and cover letter, which led me to get the job I wanted. She's an experienced resume writer who's great at highlighting your strengths and qualities. I would highly recommend a resume makeover with Career HD for anyone who's stuck finding a job.

Karl Walters

It's been over 17 years since I needed to update my resume, but after I got laid off I needed help. A friend recommended CareerHd, and I was not disappointed with my final resume and cover letter. I needed hand holding as I feel like the market has changed quite a bit since the last time I looked for work. I sincerely appreciate all the help and support from Pino and Anna.

Bethany Day

04:50 09 Jan 21

Working with Anna was a refreshing experience. I had my resume written by another service, but they left me extremely disappointed so I need to fix my resume all over again. Anna put in the time to understand my concerns and assigned me a writer (Maria) who was just as great to work with. Maria really listed too and the final resume was just a complete makeover from my old version. You guys really care, and I am SO thrilled and confident to begin applying to jobs with my new documents.

Trish Griffith

14:54 05 Jan 21

Got laid off in November and decided to spend the money to get a ‘professional’ to help write me a resume that would showcase my skills and achievements. What I got was a resume that everyone who sees it says ‘why would you set it up that way?’ It took a lot more back and forth than I thought I would have had to do considering the amount I paid when it came to spelling and grammar. While I am getting interviews everyone (literally everyone) has asked me back for my original resume and used that instead. So basically I feel like I wasted money. I am not sure if it is my resume writer or everyone there but I wasn’t satisfied, I would not recommend and definitely would not use again.

Victoria Bigelow

22:21 30 Nov 20

It has been several years since I've written my resume and I really didn't know where to start, especially for a Senior Director position. It was quick and easy, Luciana was very attentive to my needs and patiently conducted an interview session to deeply understand my talents, skills, beliefs, and top achievements. After the initial session I even felt Luciana helped me understand myself better than ever! In less than a week, she submitted my final cover letter and resume. I now feel confident in applying to my desired position, fingers crossed I will get an interview! Thanks so much Luciana!

Katherine Ma

02:55 05 Nov 20

Quality service delivered to my complete satisfaction! Emily was wonderful to work with. She was patient, understanding and responsive throughout the process.

Rebecca’s work is amazing! Her final resume and cover letter package for me was precise. In addition, my resume looked cleaner and more professional than it did before. After submitting my resume package for a number of open posts, I heard back in two days and then a few days later in a second interview, one of the interviewers marvelled at how my resume was very well done. I would definitely recommend working with Rebecca!

Fantastic experience. I had not updated my resume in 20 years and I must say the process was informative, educational and just one of the best service for value experiences I have ever had. Anna was amazing in quarterbacking the entire process and my writer Rebecca was tremendous. Can't say enough great things about the entire process and I am happy to say that I landed a fantastic job before I had even completed the final resume. This is not only a resume optimization process. It helps you understand your career evolution and development on a much deeper level which in turn gives you the confidence to nail any interview. Here are the services I went with:1. Resume writing service/Executive Package2. LinkedIn Optimization3. Interview Boost( get this a couple days before interview-trust me!)I would absolutely refer any friends/family and customers to Career HD, if you are in a position of looking at new employment or thinking of a change. My only regret is that I didn't connect with Career HD sooner. Really great!
