My wife needed her resume updated

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My wife recently needed to update her resume so we found this company and reached out through their website. The process could be a little better but overall it was okay. My wife stated the questionnaire they gave her was super long but I'm guessing the more information they have the better. The only complaint is that they didn't honor the old coupon code and supposedly have gone through a few changes. Other than that I would recommend to a friend.

It's a Scam (review from a JC Resume writer)

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I used to be a resume writer for this company. Well...sort of. JC Resume contracts the work out to a company called "Talent Inc," and I was a writer at Talent Inc. JC Resume claims that "The rรฉsumรฉ writing team at JC Rรฉsumรฉs is composed of professional writers who have spent years in staffing, human resources, professional proofreading and editing, and the job placement industry." This is the current verbiage from its websites, and similar claims were made during the time I was writing for them. Unfortunately, it's a total lie. I had zero experience in resume writing, zero experience in staffing and HR, and zero experience in the job placement industry, and zero experience as a professional writer. I had a writing degree and had taught writing classes for a few years prior, but that was my only qualification. You'd think I would have received some training due to my gross lack of experience, but I didn't. There was a brief and confusing phone call that explained how to use the Talent Inc job assignment system, and I was handed some templates to use for resume and cover letter writing, but that was it. The untrained resume writers have very little support internally, so there is nobody to turn to when problems arise or there are strange situations that come up. They just have to figure it out. They also have to perform customer service and problem solving on top of writing because there is no staff in place for that. (At least, there wasn't while I was there.) On top of all this, the pay is abysmal. Writers get paid a flat fee for each resume. By the time the job is done, the hourly pay is barely above minimum wage...sometimes less. So, it's no wonder that a lot of writers have a bad attitude and do the bare minimum necessary to collect their pathetic check. The writers are also treated very poorly by the company, at least when I was there. The company didn't follow the rules in its own handbook about reassigning jobs, how to request work, and so on. The leadership was condescending, and sometimes even mean. So, besides receiving no training and *** pay, the writers are treated badly too. It's a perfect storm for a poor customer experience.

This was the worst experience I have ever had with any services. It is a scams. They're completely incompetent... See my experience below Hi Tony, I just got an email from you with the resume exactly the same as the 1st draft with none of the changes that I requested below. I hope you are not serious:) Is this a joke? If it is, it is not very funny and not a good way to treat your customers. I hope I am the one being cheated by JC Resume this way.

JC Resumes - Horrible Service!!! - Image 2
I ordered resume services on April 21, 2016. It is now May 3, 2016 and I have yet received any resume or draft. The writer, who goes by the name Thomas was assigned to me. He was not in contact with me and I had to contact support to find out how long. Then Thomas contacted me via email and that was that. No more contact or response. I just this morning contacted Support again since it is now 2 weeks since purchase and still no draft or resume. Support just emailed me stating they have a different writer assigned to work my resume. The business is quoted stating the following Three business day turnaround. Within 3 business days, you'll receive your custom-tailored professional rรฉsumรฉ via email for your review. I just missed out on a couple good job leads due to this

Horrible Service and Bad Resume Writer

I purchased resume services through JC Resume. I wish I had read the reviews in advance, because it was a huge waste of time and money. The resume they created is completely unusable. I believe their staff needs training. The resume had inconsistent formatting and typos. The writer pulled information from the supplemental information I provided and plopped into the resume without editing. In addition, before the writer began, I filled out a Form with my updated contact information. The contact information on the resume was not updated correctly. The standard resume for professional jobs is 2-pages, the writer provided a 4-page resume. I highly recommend finding an alternative company to assist with your resume.

In fact, somehow everything important got leftout and details from the job 10 yeArs ago took the front seat. What a scam

They created a resume and cover letter for me. I would never send either document to any potential employer. The documents had spelling errors, incorrect job experience and title! I feel as if I wasted my money on their service! The cover letter was a form letter with the incorrect information! I ended up rewriting my resume and using Google to craft a cover letter! I will never use their services again! All they needed to do was to follow the template I provided! I am very disappointed in their money grab! This was by far the worst groupon I've purchased! Although I was told I would have the completed work product back on the 16th I had to send an e-mail to get their rush job returned to me! John M.

Terrible job

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
All they did was copy and paste my work experience to someone else's resume and they claim it to be an "new version of my old resume". It was so obvious that the writer put zero effort on revising the resume because there were tons of grammar mistakes and fragmented sentences. The dates and the positions that I had for my resume were all changed, which is probably because they copied and pasted someone else's work to fit in mine. The package that I bought clearly mentioned that two revisions will be made upon request. However, they never replied to my e-mail when I asked for revision. I had to ask a different company for a revision...If you are looking for help, this company is definitely NOT a smart decision to make.

Horrible Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My resume had tons of grammatical and editorial errors. Horrible service. Writer incorporated information from another client's resume into mine including their email. My resume was titled finance associate while the cover letter was Health management, conflicting information. Reached out to no avail. Writer refused to answer questions when asked about her qualification. Customer service agent promised to reassign my resume to a senior and experienced writer but never heard from them. I strongly believe they advertised fraudulently and they do not deliver quality service as advertised.

JC Resumes started out extremely bad; however, they went above and beyond to make things right. The writer they assigned to me wrote an excellent resume that I think will standout and help me get my foot in the door. I will post my results as to weather the resume helped my job hunt.

Original review Jan 28, 2016
It has been well over 72 hours and I have yet to hear from anyone at JC Resumes. I did everything I was supposed to do on my end. They will not respond to any of my emails.

JC Resumes - Resume Writing Review from Fort Worth, Texas

I was very displeased with the serive JC Resumes provided. In the initial draft, almost all the detail provided through the web portal was not considered. The result was a marginally updated draft with material copied and pasted from the job description provided. After suggesting that the resume format needed adjustment and updates which should reflect positions of interest as they relate to my skills, I received a second draft with additional 'self-provided' material simply copied and pasted into the document. I expressed my displeasure and was hopeful that the tone of my response might prompt a more thoughtful final revision...I was wrong. Little to no updates were provided, absolutely no thoughtful feedback from what I was expecting to be a professional resume writing service. I suggest using another service for assistance with your resume. I had reasonable expectations, provided the service with more than enough material to make an effort and was let down. I'll be using this review to warn customers in as many forums as I can.

Not a Professional Resume writing service

I ordered this service through Groupon. I submitted my resume, cover letter and the required questionnaire which was supposed to give direction as to what I was hoping to achieve. I received my 1st draft of the document and immediately identified several errors on the document in the form of incomplete sentences and improper word use. It seemed very apparent that the editor did not actually review the document before submitting it to me because many of the statements made no sense as written. Additionally, it was apparent that the resume was written in part by computer software, not a human being. I paid to have a professional writer overhaul my resume taking in consideration the information that I had submitted. I sent the reviewer a response to the 1st draft, indicating that there were errors which I identified, and made comments on the content of the document. When I received the revision, again there are errors. It seems he merely copied and pasted my comments in some places with no regard as to whether they actually fit into the sentence being changed. Additionally, while I pointed out to him many areas where there was improper word use in the 1st draft, I did not point out every instances, and he clearly did not bother to review the document for himself to find others. Finally, some of the suggested changes that I requested have been taken completely out of context and inserted into a position that they were never intended for. This is not what I paid for and a complete waste of time. The resume I received looked like something written by a high school or college student and DEFINATELY not a professional.

Absolutely A Scam

This company is nothing more than a scam, run by 1-2 individuals with the express goal of defrauding customers out of their money. I should have been suspicious when "Jamie Cooper" was so immediately available for a phone consultation, but even though she was able to work me into her busy scheduled very quickly, I remained naive. The consultation seemed professional enough; the person (I subsequently learned that there is no "Jamie") spent about ten minutes on the phone with me, asking questions and describing the process. I'd already sent my resume and letter draft to her, which we reviewed together very quickly. A day or two later, I received a cookie cutter resume and letter, which addressed very few of the things we'd talked about that were specific to my industry. I sent a number of requests for revision, all of which were ignored. I asked for my money back, but again, nothing. It wasn't until I took to the review sites that "Jamie" reluctantly agreed to refund my money. Of course, she never admitted that the service is a total scam, but I'd done my homework, and when I laid it all out for her, she backed down. The entire experience was a complete waste of my time. I assume that all positive reviews available online are generated by the hustlers who operate this phony business. Don't waste your time.

Never recieved the new resume they promised and just kep procrastinating on their timelines!

Was given a prompt date for my new CV 3 days after I filled out their order form. I sent out a gentle reminder before end of last day asking for status update and if there would be any delays due to weekend. Was assured I would get it on time. I never did! On yet another reminder for the service 3 days later I got a response from "Director of Operations" giving me a new due date 3 days out (which made the total 9 days from my first order) without acknowledging or apologizing for the previous blunder on their part. When I inquired or gave them an option of refund they bluntly agreed to a refund and guided me towards the groupon support instead of assisting me through it. Bad customer service, Un-professional and I wouldnโ€™t recommend them to anyone. Not because I didnโ€™t get the service but since they donโ€™t understand the value of time for people coming to them for help on finding jobs.
