Northwest Resumes

I reached out to Kevin at a vulnerable time in my life. Kevin created a resume for me that made the difference between having a job and not having a job! more

I went to Kevin 2 months ago when I was in a crunch in applying for a job and I needed to get my resume redone as it had been a good 10 years since I had been out looking for a job. Wjhen I met with Kevin, I had but 2 days left before my application and resume were due. more

I contacted Northwest Resumes to help with writing a new resume. I haven't worked in a couple of years and just recently moved to Seattle. I assumed my resume needed a boost. I will give NW Resumes a lot of credit for asking a lot of questions so that there would be a lot of information in my new resume. Kevin was very patient and thorough. He emailed my resume and cover letter in the time frame he said he would. I ended up using the resume that Kevin wrote for approximately 2 months. I snagged two interviews in that time. During one interview, the interviewer commented on ""my"" use of the word prowess in my resume. I had been super excited to have a professionally produced resume, that I don't think I read it very closely or tried to read it from an interviewers point of view. Frankly, I sounded pretentious, and I imagine recruiters saw right through it. The format was a little awkward as well. I have been using my old resume for the last couple of months with much better results. I've gotten many more calls and have been on 10 interviews. It is written in plain English rather than business jargon. Kevin did do a great job with my resume, but I think it was a little too ""uppity"" and definitely not worth the $375 I paid for it. I ended up buying a big, fat resume and cover letter book for $20 at Barnes and Noble, which was a much better use of my money. more

Kevin Daniels put a lot of effort into creating my resume. He was very personable and fun to work with, so, I don't relish doing this review. He reviewed reams of evaluations and job descriptions, etc. that I gave him. At first glance, the resume he produced seemed great, touting my expertise and abilities, but on second and third and fourth review, I found inaccuracies and some inartfully constructed sentences (the font was tiny--9.5!). Then, I found the worst mistake--my name was misspelled in the footer! Yikes! I had already sent my resume out to a prospective employer. I was humiliated, and thoroughly disappointed. When I contacted Kevin to let him know, he seemed sincerely regretful, and said he credited me with $50, but he never followed through. more

Kevin Daniels was joy to work with. He created an amazing resume for me. His process was professional, thorough and actually helped me to prep for future interviews. It was well worth the money. Pros: Professional, thorough, high quality more

These guys were great to work with and bottom line -- I got a job! Pros: Valuable, Friendly, Professional more
