What real clients have said...
Raymond,
Cybersecurity Director, CISSP
Thank you for everything. I was able to land a new job thanks to your help. Not only was the resume and cover letter a huge help but your words as well. I thought about myself from a different angle and how I sold myself. It changed my mindset. I couldn't have done it without you!
Shannon,
Business Administrator
James is absolutely awesome. Not only is he personable and friendly, he is also a master at what he does.
His questions during our intake phone call (interview) delved into the heart of not only my previous job experience, but also what would make me stand out to future employers in an authentic way. After reading the final product (aka my resume) my first thought was "I'D HIRE ME!"
Justin,
Senior Associate
Within just a few weeks I was offered a dream role with a sizeable income boost within my chosen profession. He spotlighted the traits necessary to bring immediate interest from employers. I can’t recommend his services enough!
Allie,
IT Risk Analyst
I had an amazing experience working with James to update my resume! I felt that he really took the time to understand my career goals as well as my experience in order to write something far better than I had before. I'm getting far more interviews than before and I no longer feel like I'm working with an outdated resume and cover letter.
David,
Software Engineering Manager
I purchased the Resume/Cover Letter service about a month ago and worked with Alex. I was impressed with the professionalism of the whole process - he communicated with me throughout and I was very pleased with the final products. I’ve already received 5 interviews since putting the new resume to use (that is 5 more than what I had before lol!). I highly recommend Final Draft Resumes!
Ryan,
Biomedical Engineer
Alex was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process, was very timely and the quality of his work was clearly evident. I saw an immediate increase of interest as soon as I uploaded my updated resume and cover letter. Within a couple months I had several interviews and ended up with 2 job offers. I have now been happily working in my new field for over 5 months! Thanks again Alex, would definitely recommend your services to anyone!
