Go for human resume review instead of automated one
After a review here, they contacted me with a proposal for a human review to be done for my review. I agreed to it. The reviewer was very friendly. She noted that my resume was excellent, and she wouldn’t know what to talk about for 45 minutes with me. She decided to give me recommendations on researching companies, and how to find places who would hire me. These recommendations were very helpful. So, my updated rating is: Customer support: 5 out of 5. They contacted me as soon as I told them I was not satisfied with the review and noted problems. Good job! Human resume review: 5 out of 5. Even if your resume is perfect, you will receive good tips. It is worth the full price. Automated resume review: 1 out of 5. You better be doing it yourself; the steps are not so complicated; it just takes time: 1. Research profiles that you want to match. 2. Use a template to write your resume. 3. Make sure you list all of your accomplishments. Use common sense. 4. Run it through grammar check; I used one AI tool for that. 5. Send it to a professional paid proofreader. Therefore, my total rating is now 4 out of 5. Please improve the automated resume review or lower the price significantly, as it is not worth it now. The old original review for automated resume review is below: The resume review is full of mistakes, and if I use their suggestions, it will make me look dumb to employers. I am a Lead Software Engineer (Frontend), and here are the examples they gave to me: * They suggested to include "ECMAScript (C Programming Language Family)" - exactly like this. ECMAScript is not even close to C. * They suggested including "Zope (CMS)" when I did not state that I had experience with this CMS. So they tell you to lie to your employer, and then it's up to you to look dumb if you are asked something about this technology. * Too focused on quantifiable data, where their suggestions look like a joke: "improving user experience by 30%." - how do you even quantify the "user experience" - this is not a sales speech, and if it were, I would hang up my phone / close the door / walk away as soon as I hear something like this. Unfortunately, the rest of the review is similar to this. If you can read and write in English, you don't need this service. The review feels like a combination of AI suggestions (from ChatGPT) and quick human copy-paste from different resume reviews. As a Lead Software Engineer, I participated in the hiring process. I reviewed resumes for companies when we had open positions. And I guarantee that if I saw something like this, I wouldn't even conduct an initial interview. For me, this is the first big red flag when a resume looks like a person doesn't understand what they are talking about. Maybe they are good website for the salaries review, but they use this salaries as a bait so you can buy their low quality services.
