CareersBooster
reviews and complaints

I recently had an experience with CareersBooster and unfortunately it was not a positive one. I ordered a cover letter and provided the writer with three clear and specific requests, however, they seemed to completely disregard them. It felt as though a robot was simply writing the letter. I was extremely disappointed when I realized that not even one of my requests was included in the final product.

When I tried to address this issue with the team at CareersBooster they offered to rewrite it for free. I thought this was a fair solution and so I sent them my instructions again. Alarmingly, the rewritten letter still did not include the information I had provided them and contained multiple spelling errors and missing words. I was very frustrated and sent the cover letter back to them again. This time, they made the same mistake and failed to include anything I had asked for.

After this experience, CareersBooster offered me a mere 55% refund for three unusable cover letters. Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed and it is clear that there are no real writers involved in this process. If they do employ writers, their command of the English language is questionable and suggests that they do not come from the US.

In conclusion, I would not recommend using CareersBooster to anyone looking for a well-written, personalized cover letter. It is not worth the money, and the platform does not seem to value customer satisfaction as much as it should.

As a job seeker who has been out of work for over a year, I can't express how much I needed professional guidance to help me stand out from other applicants. After seeing that CareersBooster was highly rated, I decided to give it a try and signed up for their services. Unfortunately, my experience with this company was not satisfactory at all.

I understand the frustration that other reviewers have expressed in their one-star ratings. I also felt like their writers were not professional at all and didn't put in any effort to make sure that my resume and cover letter were flawless. There were so many errors and awkwardly phrased sentences in my documents that I couldn't believe that someone had actually written them. I had hoped that their writers could help me highlight my most relevant skills, but I was disappointed to see that they did not take the time to really understand what I wanted to showcase.

Their website is also not user-friendly, making navigation and finding the necessary information a challenge. To make matters worse, they contacted me repeatedly asking for more money even before completing my requested services. I was honest with them about my concerns, but I still received no satisfactory response.

I need to apply for jobs, and I can't afford to wait any longer for them to deliver a quality product. Unfortunately, I feel like I've wasted my money and am at a loss for what to do. Their unprofessionalism has left me feeling frustrated and on the brink of tears.

Recently, I had the opportunity to try out CareersBooster services, and it was quite the experience. I decided to opt for the 48-hour service and was excited to see what results I would get. However, I found myself extending my deadline twice as the writer requested. I agreed, given that I assumed the extra time would only result in a high-quality document. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to be the case, and I was left feeling quite disheartened.

Despite trying to communicate with the writer multiple times regarding my concerns, I never received a response. In addition, when I contacted customer support (specifically Arvie), I didn't receive the sympathy or extra help that I was hoping for. I had expressed that I was willing to give them another chance if they could provide me with some feedback, but unfortunately, Arvie insisted that she had to stick to their procedures and couldn't offer anything else. When I requested to speak with a supervisor, she ignored my request, leaving me feeling extremely disappointed.

Before signing up with CareersBooster, I had spoken with Joel, who I felt was very reasonable and had given me all answers I was looking for. He made me quite comfortable to part with over 410 USD for their service, but sadly this wasn't the service I received. I had also tried to reach out to Joel to see if he could be of any assistance, but he wasn't available.

Overall, I would recommend that anyone seeking professional help with their resume or CV steer clear of CareersBooster. While I initially had high hopes for their service, my experience fell far short of my expectations.

After searching through various resume writing companies, I decided to go with CareersBooster to help my husband transition from his military background to civilian employment. Initially, I was excited to get started with the process and made my order on day one, hoping to receive prompt and professional service.

However, on day two, I was disappointed to find that there was no communication from the company. Things took a strange turn on day three when I received five missed calls from an unknown number. When I called back, they requested my calling card number without leaving a message. Later that evening, I received a call from a foreign woman inquiring about why I hadn't ordered the linked in profile upgrade for an additional $99. I was taken aback, and she insisted that it would be easier for the writer to complete my husband's resume. I asked her to call me back the next day, as I was not in the mood to discuss this matter further.

Day four came around, and there was still no word from the writer, but I received an email stating that my order was being processed, which only caused more confusion and frustration. I decided to call the company directly, explaining the situation and feeling like I was being bullied into buying more products. It took over 28 minutes for the customer service representative to cancel my order, which I found to be an unreasonable amount of time. At that point, I began to question if this company was a scam, and the fake five-star reviews on their website only fueled my suspicion.

Overall, my experience with CareersBooster was unpleasant and concerning. I would have appreciated better communication and transparency from the company. I found the aggressive upselling tactics to be inappropriate and unprofessional. Finally, after threatening to take legal action, they refunded me my money. I cannot recommend this company and suggest steering clear of them.

If you are looking for a resume writing service, you may want to consider other options before choosing CareersBooster. Though their customer service is available 24/7, scheduling an interview with the writer can be difficult, especially if you work odd hours.

While you can communicate with the writer through their message board feature, it can still feel impersonal. It's important to note that if you're looking for a "resume makeover" rather than a complete overhaul, you may need to reiterate that multiple times before it gets through.

Based on their line of questioning, the service appears to be geared more towards early career/job seekers. However, this may not be the best option for those looking for more senior-level positions. It also seems that they don't review your uploaded resume thoroughly before beginning the process.

One of the biggest disappointments came when the interview went off-script and it was clear that the interviewer wasn't the writer. This made the overall experience feel more mechanical and disconnected.

That being said, CareersBooster is cheaper than some local options and other sites on the market. However, if you are looking for a more personalized experience, it may be worth it to pay a little extra for a one-on-one meeting with a local resume writing service.

I'm sorry to say that my experience with CareersBooster (careersbooster.com) was extremely disappointing. As a busy executive, I was excited to find a service that could help me update my resume and showcase my many accomplishments. Unfortunately, the reality was far from what I had hoped for.

I submitted my order on 06/23/19 with clear instructions for a 3-day turnaround. I spoke with a customer service representative who assured me that they were experienced in writing executive resumes. However, when I received the first draft of my resume, I was shocked. It was worse than the outdated version I had submitted for updating in the first place. To make matters worse, there was even a typo in one of the company names!

After several attempts to have the resume rewritten and revised, I requested a refund on 07/06/19. Instead of offering a timely refund, CareersBooster continued to send me requests to allow them to fix the issues. Unfortunately, each revision made the resume even worse. It went from a two-page document to a mere 1.5 pages with nothing that highlighted my executive experience and many accomplishments.

To add insult to injury, I discovered that CareersBooster is not an American company, yet they do not inform their clients of this. As a result, I was hit with an international fee for the transaction, which my bank informed me is fraudulent if the seller does not disclose that it is an international transaction.

In short, I have been dealing with this for almost two months and I still do not have an updated, professionally designed resume that represents my many years of executive experience. I strongly advise anyone against using CareersBooster's services.

When searching for a new job, having a professionally written resume and cover letter can be a game changer. This is why I decided to invest in CareersBooster's full package. Unfortunately, my experience was far less than satisfactory. After waiting for 16 days, I was disappointed with the quality of work I received. Initially, the writer had simply reformatted the information I had sent. When I raised my concerns, she claimed it was just a draft, despite the order saying it was completed. While the writer did attempt to improve the content, I found that it was plagued with grammatical errors, irrelevant information, and even some fabricated details.

I was hopeful when they called me for a full interview, however, the writer disregarded most of the information discussed and only made a few minor format changes. To make things worse, she didn't proofread the document and some sentences were unintelligible. When I asked her to fix the mistakes, she even asked me to proofread the document for her!

Despite granting extensions, nothing was ever fixed. To make matters worse, the job posting I was interested in was no longer available, with me being left without a usable resume or cover letter. I was disappointed and felt like I had wasted my money. Though they promised to fix everything and assign me a new writer, they did neither.

I advise potential clients to be wary of CareersBooster. The company needs to improve its writing quality and communication with their customers. Until then, it's better to search for other options.

I recently used CareersBooster to rewrite my resume. Although it turned out to be better than my original version, there were still a couple of typos and a grammar error that slipped through. But what really caught me off guard was their re-write policy. Most other companies I researched offer a re-write after either 30 or 60 days of not receiving any interview offers. However, CareersBooster's policy is to only offer a single re-write if you don't get a bite within 30 days. After that, you're out of luck. This policy was not explicitly stated on their website, which led to my confusion.

Unfortunately, I mistakenly thought that CareersBooster had the 60-day policy, and I contacted them after that time had passed. They flat-out told me no and suggested that I buy another. While I admit that I should have reviewed their policy thoroughly, I was disappointed by their lack of empathy, especially since I am currently unemployed. Their response felt greedy to me, and it left a sour taste in my mouth.

Ultimately, the responsibility falls on me for not identifying their re-write policy. But I also believe that CareersBooster should take some responsibility for creating a resume that did not produce any results even after two months. While it was an improvement from my original version, I believe that there are other companies out there that could do even better. So, if you're looking for a resume writing service, I suggest doing your research and finding a company that offers a more lenient re-write policy and produces more successful results.

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to steer clear of CareersBooster. I had an unfortunate experience with this company that has left me completely dissatisfied and disappointed. The writer they assigned to me produced a resume that was completely irrelevant to the job position I had applied for, and the language and grammar used were below par. I had no choice but to request for a new writer, however, the second attempt yielded the exact same result, and I had to ask for a new writer again. Despite agreeing to this, the company failed to respond, leaving me waiting for two full weeks, with no communication whatsoever.

When I asked for a refund, they insisted I produce a list of all the ways in which they violated their promises to me. This was frustrating and completely unacceptable, as it was already clear that they had been unable to deliver on their promises. Even after producing the list, they only offered a 30% refund in some emails and a 40% refund in others. It was clear that this unprofessional behavior was an attempt to steal my hard-earned money.

Furthermore, they kept insisting that I submit another list of violations, which was completely unnecessary since I had already done so. This communication breakdown suggests that the support staff is completely incompetent and unaware of how to interact or communicate with clients either verbally or in writing.

I strongly advise anyone reading this to avoid CareersBooster at all costs and not waste their hard-earned money or precious time with such an incompetent company. I only wish I had read these reviews earlier as it is clear that such issues seem to be the norm with this company. It's also noteworthy that they are likely to respond with the same empty apology messages, insisting that you submit your complaint to their Quality Assurance team. However, this is typically nothing more than a delayed response tactic and an attempt to shirk responsibility.

As someone who recently used CareersBooster to rewrite my resume, I unfortunately have to say that my experience was less than satisfactory. One glaring red flag was the listing of the CEO by first name last initial, which seemed very unprofessional. Additionally, their office address in Delaware is just a virtual office, which made me question the legitimacy of the company.

I paid $126 for a package that was supposed to include a resume and/or cover letter from an experienced, professional, and talented writer. However, I found that the final product was filled with nonsensical sentences, half-phrases, and numerous grammatical errors. In fact, I suspected that the writer may not have been a native English speaker, which made the final version almost unusable.

Despite the website's promise of timely delivery, the first draft was late and it was clear that the writer was not familiar with my experience or expertise. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and even agreed to an extension, hoping that the final version would be better. Unfortunately, the second version was just as terrible as the first, filled with cut-and-pasted sentences that had nothing to do with my background.

When I requested a third revision with more details and a copy of an older resume, I thought they'd finally get it. However, after a week or so of silence, I realized that my "writer" was apparently not up to the task. When I followed up, they offered me one free revision to ensure my satisfaction, but by that point, I was done. I requested a full refund, but there was no reply.

In the end, I'd advise anyone seeking a professional resume writer to keep looking. Unfortunately, CareersBooster is not the answer. Perhaps they'll use the money they receive to actually learn English and become more proficient in crafting quality resumes for their clients. One can only hope.

I recently utilized the resume writing services of CareersBooster and was unfortunately left quite disappointed. The writer I was assigned to simply reformatted my submitted resume, without incorporating any of the changes or updates I had specifically requested in the information for resume section. I reached out to their customer service team to raise my concerns, but was disheartened by the lengthy wait times and lack of immediate assistance. After expressing my disappointment with the quality of their work, I was told that my case would be "investigated" within 5-7 days. As you can imagine, this did not leave me feeling reassured or confident in their services.

At this point, I am in the process of requesting a refund. Honestly, if I could give them 0 stars I would. My best advice to individuals looking to utilize a resume writing service is to write your own resume as I strongly believe there are better sources of assistance available.

Wow, I had such a negative experience with CareersBooster, and I feel compelled to warn others. The services they offer are intended to help job-seekers land their dream job, but my experience with them was such a disappointment. I submitted my resume to them, hoping for a professional and eye-catching document that would truly impress potential employers, but what I received was completely off target.

It was obvious to me that this company did not take the time to understand my industry or my specific career goals. They simply took my existing resume and pasted it into a new document without any effort to tailor it or make it stand out. I was truly appalled that such a service existed, as it defeats the entire purpose of hiring a resume writing service in the first place.

Sadly, even after two revisions, there was no improvement. Instead, they continued to rely on outdated information from an industry I was involved with 20 years prior, rather than focusing on the industry I had been working in for the past six years. It was a completely frustrating and unproductive process, leaving me feeling completely underwhelmed and out of pocket.

Therefore, I caution anyone who is considering using CareersBooster to look elsewhere for their resume writing and career support needs. This company is far from professional, and I would never recommend their services to anyone. As someone who was truly hoping for an edge in the competitive job market, I was extremely disappointed in the outcome.

When I decided to try out CareersBooster, I was excited to see what kind of results I would get. Their website looked professional, and their services seemed comprehensive. However, my experience with them left much to be desired.

After paying $219 for their services, I sent over my outdated resume, an additional information letter, and specifics about what I was hoping to achieve in my job search. However, instead of an in-depth conversation about my career goals, I received a standard list of questions. I was disappointed that it seemed like they weren't really taking my individual circumstances into account.

When I asked to schedule a conference call, it took three days for them to respond asking for another upload of my resume. At this point, I was starting to lose confidence in the service. Finally, I received the final product today, but not before receiving two emails suggesting that I add on services for more money. This made me feel like they were not truly invested in helping me succeed, but rather just trying to squeeze more money out of me.

Overall, I do not feel that CareersBooster provided me with any meaningful help in my job search. I would urge others to speak to the writer before paying to ensure that they are getting the personalized attention that they deserve. Unfortunately, this experience was a total waste of both my time and money.

I have to say, my experience with CareersBooster was absolutely awful. It's not often that I am compelled to leave a review, but I felt it was necessary to warn others about this company. I was hoping that their professional writing services would elevate my resume, LinkedIn page, and Cover Letter to the next level in order to land me the job I desired. Unfortunately, I was presented with a ton of grammatical and spelling errors that were unacceptable.

I couldn't believe that a company who claims to have professional writers on staff could produce such low quality content. So, I had to take action and request a conference call with the writer to discuss the issues directly. However, I was promptly blown off not once, but twice. I was left feeling incredibly frustrated and disrespected. When I contacted the company again to find out why the call was not set up, they claimed that it was policy not to allow any contact between clients and writers directly. This seemed bizarre to me!

It made me question if the writers truly had a grasp of the English language or if they were really qualified to be called "professional writers". Moreover, when they didn't follow up as promised and then tried to mask their mistake with an implausible policy, it became clear to me that they weren't interested in delivering quality work or satisfying their customers.

To sum it up, I would NOT recommend CareersBooster's services to anyone. Based solely on my own experience with them, I would say that they are unprofessional, unreliable liars whose services are not worth the waste of time nor money. If you need someone to help you with your resume, I suggest you look elsewhere.

I recently used the services of CareersBooster for my job search and I must say, it was a rather disappointing experience. While the website promised to provide top-notch resume and cover letter writing services, the result was quite the opposite.

Firstly, the opening line of my cover letter was riddled with grammar errors. It read, "Over the course of my career, I have always been passionate of working as a Financial Analyst at the International Finance Corporation (IFC)." Not only was the use of "passionate of" incorrect, but the line also lacked creativity and failed to capture the attention of a potential recruiter at IFC.

Moreover, as I read through the rest of the cover letter, it was clear that the writer had simply copied and pasted content from an existing template, without making any effort to tailor it to my specific skills and experiences. This left me with a generic and dry cover letter that did not effectively showcase my strengths and expertise.

Overall, my experience with CareersBooster was sub-par. I do not recommend their services, as they do not deliver on their promises and are a waste of money. It is always better to take the time to research and write your own resume and cover letter, as it will be a true reflection of your abilities and achievements.

I recently used the resume writing service on CareersBooster (careersbooster.com) and had mixed results. A few years back, I had used a similar service and was thoroughly satisfied with the outcome. So naturally, when I contemplated changing jobs and wanted to optimize my resume for new scanning software, I decided to go with this website. Although the cover letter written for me was excellent, I can't say the same about the resume itself.

I noticed that the resume seemed to be written by a person who lacks extensive experience in HR or resume writing. The essential key skills required for job applications were not highlighted, and the overall tone was too casual for a professional resume. As someone who frequents job interviews, I think it would be a bit hard for me to get shortlisted if the recruiter would not have the essential needful qualifications highlighted on my resume.

However, the company offered to rework my resume, which I appreciated. But at the same time, I wasn't sure if I wanted to deal with the same writer who may not have successfully grasped the intricacies of professional resume writing.

Nonetheless, I commend CareersBooster for offering to fix the problem, and hopefully, the second version of my resume will be more up to the mark.

The experience I had with CareersBooster was honestly a nightmare. I was extremely grateful that I did not opt for any of the additional recommended add on products, as the basic services I received were quite disappointing. I had sent over my resume to them with the hope of having a professional give it a fresh update. However, what I received in return was my resume with bullet points removed and replaced with paragraphs in a format that was not only difficult to read but they also committed grammatical errors.

To make matters worse, they even failed to double check the facts that were already present in my resume, which led to some glaring inaccuracies - with one of the largest errors being that my education was listed as incomplete. I was extremely dissatisfied with the entire experience and my impression was that my resume was simply put through some kind of program rather than with the help of a professional writer.

I do not recommend this service, especially for those who are looking to update or freshen up their resume, as they may have a similar experience to mine. In fact, I still use the original resume that I sent over to this company as I was not satisfied with the final product. It was not worth the money nor the effort that was put into it.

My experience with CareersBooster was not the best. While the initial process started with them asking me questions to gather information for my resume, I was disappointed to find that nearly half of the information I had given them was missing from the final product. The overall appearance of my resume and cover letter was unprofessional and not what I expected given the service.

To make matters worse, they did not even finish the work within the timeframe of a few days that they had originally promised. As someone who was in need of a new resume quickly, this delay was frustrating and inconvenient.

I reached out to their customer service team to express my concerns and was given a link to request revisions. However, the link did not lead to a form or any clear instructions, leaving me confused as to how to proceed. When I finally uploaded my resume for revisions, I did not receive any feedback or response for quite some time.

After following up multiple times, they finally replied, stating that it had been too long and they did not have to revise the resume. Overall, my experience with CareersBooster was disappointing and I would not recommend their services to others.

My experience with CareersBooster was less than satisfactory, and I'm quite surprised by their high scoring. While they were responsive and easy to communicate with, I don't believe their services are well-suited to experienced professionals. I ended up being very disappointed with the end result of my resume makeover.

As someone with a technical focus, I found that many of the industry-specific terms and phrases were either incorrect or missing from my revised resume. It made the document sound foreign and out-of-touch with the field I work in. It was especially frustrating because I'd paid nearly $300 for the service, and now I have to redo the work myself anyway.

Unfortunately, I feel that CareersBooster simply lacks the expertise to fully revamp the resume of an experienced professional. I think their service might be better suited to college graduates and entry-level applicants who need more general, broad-stroke guidance. Overall, I wish I hadn't spent my money and now have to put in more effort to correct the issues with my resume.

I recently used CareersBooster to help improve my job search, but unfortunately, my experience left me feeling discouraged and disappointed. The process started off promising, as I was diligent in providing all the necessary information for my resume, cover letter, and e-cover letter. However, after waiting for the allotted time, I found that I had only been provided with a resume. This was certainly a setback, but I remained hopeful that I would receive the rest of the documents soon.

Days went by, and I finally received both my cover letters. At this point, I was quite frustrated. I had followed the instructions on the FAQ page to wait for over 30 days to gauge the interest of employers, but found that my efforts had gone unrewarded. I decided to reach out to careersbooster.com and requested a revision to my documents in hopes that this would help me gain some traction in my job search. To my disappointment, I was informed that I was no longer eligible for a free revision, as it had been over 30 days since my initial order.

This was a serious blow to my morale, as this policy was not made clear on their FAQ page. I found myself feeling very taken advantage of and can't help but feel as though I was scammed. The worst part was the customer service response, which was less than helpful. The representative I spoke to seemed uninterested in my concerns and offered no help or resolution.

Ultimately, I have decided to take my business elsewhere, as I believe that I did not receive the service I paid for, and that the policies at CareersBooster are not transparent or customer-friendly. I hope my experience can serve as a cautionary tale to other job seekers who may be considering using this service.
