I have never before in my life been so motivated to complain about a company! WOW. I really believed in Don Goodman and his whole "We are the only resume writing company who will actually deliver" ploy— When you first contact GotThejob.com — they are so nice —but are clearly just trying to make a sale. Their website [which, in retrospect, is rather sloppily formatted—THAT* should've been a major indicator! ]& goes to great lengths to de-market their competition& and is quite compelling. They use negative info about their competition to justify super-high prices for their service—and well, it SOUNDS sensible— Pay more, get better results..
HA! The resume I received from them was AWFUL— Not just mediocre— but AWFUL— I counted 6 misspelled words, 11 typos—and the format was BASIC— Worse yet, the wording itself was often borderline incoherent and did NOTHING to accent my skills and experience. I showed it to several professionals —and their advice was basically "WOW, get your money back.."
My attempts to contact GetTheJob.com — who had been previously sooooo helpful when they wanted to make a sale& resulted in a mix of long stretches of messages unanswered— to half-hearted offers to re-write the resume— one of which I pursued—which resulted in virtually NO CHANGE at all. I was dumbfounded and thought that perhaps—they just sent me the original file again by mistake— until I realized FOUR WORDS HAD BEEN EDITED [and one was an ADDED word— spelled INCORRECTLY]— It was as if — someone spent 1 minute doing anything to call it "REVISED"—and that person was rushed and overloaded w / work...
Honestly, I believe the owner farmed my assignment out to someone who speaks English as a second language. I have never felt so scammed in my entire life. Be smarter than I was. Their website is not that good looking— Do you really think the resume they create will be?
