In-Depth Review | Great Resumes Fast

By David Alan Carter

While not the biggest name on the block, GreatResumesFast.com has a number of aces that trump their larger competitors. First and foremost in their favor – the President and CEO. A former Recruiter and HR Manager, Jessica Holbrook is an expert resume writer, career and personal branding strategist, author and presenter. There's a lot to be said for knowing who runs the company. But Holbrook doesn't just run the company... she writes resumes, too.

In keeping with her background, Holbrook has selected an elite team of writers who are not only certified, but steeped in Human Resources. That team includes HR Executives, Hiring Managers, former Recruiters, and professional Editors. These are writers who have spent their careers sitting across the interview table from job seekers, evaluating resumes and making hiring decisions. Does that give them an advantage when it comes to writing a resume? We think so. And that perhaps explains the company's 99.9% success rate with their resumes.

Here's How It Works

Select the career level that best describes you: Entry Level, Professional, Executive or Information Technology. Select a resume writing package from your career level, and place your order.

Once your order is received, you'll get a confirming email with instructions on how to send along your current resume... if you have one. You'll also receive a telephone call from your writer within the same business day to schedule a convenient time for a phone consultation and interview. For rush orders, you'll be contacted with two hours. By the way, expect that interview to take approximately one hour, possibly longer.

You'll receive a draft of the resume within 3-5 days. Your writer will schedule a follow-up call to review the draft and discuss any necessary edits or revisions. Once the resume meets your approval, you'll receive the final version in 3 file formats: Microsoft Word, Adobe PDF, and ASCII Plain Text.

Now begins your 60-day interview guarantee. It's pretty straightforward: if your new resume doesn’t land you an interview within 60 days, call them and they'll rewrite it for you absolutely free.

Here's What We Liked

• Certified Professional Resume Writers, as you would expect for service at this caliber. But not just certified: each is an Academy Certified Resume Writer having successfully completed a rigorous 3-month training program and demonstrating mastery of the key skills and concepts essential for producing best-in-class resumes. And it gets better: this writing team consists of professionals pulled from the ranks of Human Resources, including HR Executives, Recruiters, Hiring Managers, et al. Better still, a persnickety copy editor is involved on every project. That's a big plus in our book.
• Personalized service is a hallmark. The telephone interview is not only an integral part of their business model, but it's real and in-depth: Approximately one hour, sometimes longer, especially for executive-level clients. Plus, expect a follow-up phone call from your writer to discuss the resume draft. All in all, each resume is quite a labor-intensive project on their part.
• Sample resumes are available to view on the company's website. We're picky, and we've looked at a lot of resumes. These are top shelf.
• The 3 "must have" file formats are all provided. Word, PDF and ASCII plain test.
• Interview Guarantee. Even after you're 100% happy with the finished product, they'll still give you 60 days to land an interview or they'll rewrite the resume at no additional charge.
• Rush Service is available. Get your first draft back in just 24 hours.
• The meets all BBB (Better Business Bureau) accreditation standards, and achieved an A- rating with zero complaints filed against the company in over three years of operation. FYI, the only reason for the minus? The relatively short length of time the business has been in operation (founded in 2008).
• Pricing isn't cheap, but it's reasonable given the personalized attention and quality of the end product.  

Great Resumes Fast Review  - The Wrap Up

This is not a budget resume service. You'll pay a price for uniquely qualified writers with a talent for drawing out your unique professional characteristics and crafting a personal branding statement that grabs the attention of hiring officials. Is that price worth it? Well, in an age when the typical job opening is generating literally hundreds of resume replies, we think so. With a 99.9% success rate in generating interviews, a resume by GreatResumesFast.com is stacking the odds a little further in your favor.

We believe the company delivers a top-notch product, excellent customer service and solid value. And we deliver a top rating, and have no problem recommending this service.
