The Job SauceReviews of thejobsauce.com

A bit of a mixed experience. Initially things seemed positive and I got a draft that was much better written but didn't seem quite on the mark. I went out to ChatGPT to see what it thought a hiring manager was looking for in the role I was looking for. I shared this info with Nicole. Her reaction was not what I expected and was almost literally "You can go ahead and make changes related to this if you want". Not what I expected. After I made a big stink about this though things changed dramatically. She asked for feedback about what I thought were areas that the ChatGPT results highlighted as weaknesses from my perspective. I provided those and then we went through a couple of real quick iterations and ended up with a really excellent resume. I think the key is to be clear yourself what you want and then guide the resume writer. They can't know the job you are applying for better than you do. You really do get out what you put into the process. I'm pretty willing to push for that but if you're a little less comfortable with this then this might not work for you.

I will start by noting that this is a revised review. My first go-around with the Job Sauce and Lindsay did not go as expected. The process moved forward very quickly with what felt like little-to-no collaboration. At the end, I felt like I was more of an inconvenience than a customer. This was especially disheartening because I had explained to everyone I spoke to at the Job Sauce that I had been scammed by a resume service previously and was very wary about another one. I left a negative review and was fairly soon contacted by Scott, the owner, who let me voice my concerns and wanted to find a way to help. Lindsay and I also spoke again and worked to revise my resume to get it to a place where I felt comfortable. I was happy with the final product I received. That said, I would encourage the Job Sauce to adjust how it works with clients. The product and work I received were very good, but something like this should be way more collaborative and authors should take their time to explain why they are doing things the way they are - they are the experts, so explaining things goes a long way. On the other side, I encourage clients to ask questions and really provide serious, thoughtful input into the information being requested. There is no silver bullet to job searching, so being as thorough as you can with your writer is the best way to get a good product. I would highly recommend the Job Sauce and Lindsay to help get your resume into shape.

I found Job Sauce through LinkedIn. From the time I responded to their proposal, they were very responsive and guided me through the process. I worked with Amanda who was awesome! She took the time to know me, the type of work I do, the industry I work in, and my career goals. It showed in the product. I am very happy with my revised resume and will recommend Amanda and Job Sauce to friends and family.

After spending months of working to update a resume on my own, I decided to give it a go with a resume writer. I worked with Briton W. and he was tremendously helpful. He was able to highlight and apply the work that was very specific to one industry and translated it into a way that was transferrable to the industries that I was aiming for. I appreciated the way Briton prompted me to fill in the blanks and provide examples, which allowed me to have a better understanding on how to make updates to my resume in the future. The one thing I wish was clearer was the job coaching call, which was never scheduled, offered in the package I bought.

Amanda Somers was extremely helpful. As someone needing to put together a resume following 18 years with the same company in a very specific industry, Amanda provided fantastic advice in coaching me through how my accomplishments would transcend across many industries. It's often too easy to get caught up with industry - specific jargon, and it was extremely helpful for me to generalize key accomplishments while still providing very specific measurable outcomes.

I would give my resume writer Tim Knox 5 stars but overall The Job Sauce gets 4 because they don’t actually rewrite your LinkedIn profile as well. Include that and the Job Sauce would be a 5 star service. Tim Knox was personable, responsive, listened to my input, and produced an excellent resume that I was proud to give to employers! I would recommend them to others!

Lindsay Hirsch did a super fast and beautiful revamp of my resume. The look and feel was very professional and she did a deft job of bringing out my strongest talents.

Monica Higgins was very easy to work with, patient and accommodating. She overcame some technical difficulties in exchanging documents with me and followed up at each step of the process. I am pleased with the final product, thanks Monica!
