Find My Profession
reviews and complaints

I had a truly horrific experience with Find My Profession. I wasted my money and received terrible service. Don't believe the slick reviews and marketing. Yes, the resume they produced looks more tailored than my original one, but it is not worth anything like $600. I think the woman who did the work probably spent a total of 90 mins plugging in key words and revising the format. It will have to do until the happy day I find a professional who is TRULY interested in working with me to create a good resume.

I am an IT professional earning good six-figure salaries. All of my job offers for the past couple of decades were from resumes I developed. I was looking to improve the quality of the resume and hopefully enter a new stage in my career so I contacted this company and everything (initially) was fine and dandy. Then the disaster occurred.

They paired me with an old school writer, heavy-handed and condescending, whose methods were better oriented to the 1980s hiring practices than anything currently used in Technology. When I requested a new resume writer, who actually was familiar with IT and had worked with other IT professionals, they assigned a new person (took over a week) who again knew NOTHING about Technology (she asked 'what is Linux?' - Is she not able to do a Google search?). At the first meeting with this individual, she complained that she had to take on my resume, implying that her other clients were her 'real work' and mine was just an hassle (nice customer service).

This woman was disagreeable and not interested in putting any effort into revising my resume. My impression was she was trying to get rid of the work as soon as possible. When I asked for revisions (that I had been assured by their customer rep would be forthcoming - see the email, below) the writer made it clear she had no intention of revising the resume - and so they transferred me to a THIRD person.

This is what was promised by the customer rep:
"While our website states a 1 week unlimited revision period, we do not limit you to just 1 week. Your writer will work with you on any edits/revisions until you are 100% satisfied with your resume. Your writer will also be very responsive during your writing process and you will be in communication with them throughout. Once you have received your first draft, you may schedule another phone consultation with your writer to discuss any revisions that you would like your writer to complete."

This is Completely and 100% untrue. They were not responsive. They were not interested in my satisfaction. There was only one phone consultation and it was so unpleasant that I wanted nothing more to do with this individual. Very disagreeable experience.

They also promised lots of additional material that would help me customize my resume for specific job positions. The one page PDF they sent was a joke. It had text like this (and this is an exact copy of what they sent): "The title is your target position; change it as needed based on job posting. These are three subtitles or three major keywords/core competencies under the title; change as needed." This is information you can find anywhere on the Web, there is nothing new or helpful here.

If you are very young, starting off on your career, and you have money to burn, then perhaps this company will help improve your resume. HOWEVER, if you are a professional, with an established and successful career - BEWARE, this company is as close to scammers as I have ever encountered. I am sharing this review widely to prevent other people from being burned.

Mike from Find My Profession was suggested to me by a friend who I had in my LinkedIn outside of work. Little did I know, he was the powerhouse behind Find My Profession.
My buddy asked me if I was willing to revamp my job search entirely, which I thought meant changing my cover letter and tweaking my resume. But, my expectations were surpassed by the excellent team at Find My Profession. I never realized there was a lot more to landing a job than just an outstanding resume.
They helped me tackle the interview process, something I had continuously struggled with, and also helped me overcome some of the deep-seeded self-doubt and beliefs I had about my capabilities.
Mike took time to educate me about the latest resume trends and interview tactics that are in vogue and, more importantly, relevant in the current market. He has a vast contact network and an immensely helpful team with names like Kiara and Steven among the favorites.
My job search now feels like a thing of the past, which is a tremendous weight off my shoulders. And if anyone asked me about how I achieved such success, I would undoubtedly recommend Find My Profession's reliable and trustworthy service.

THANK YOU, FINDMYPROFESSION!

Find My Profession really helped my husband find his dream job. My husband is a hardworking man in a field that can really take up a lot of his time. This made it very challenging and nearly impossible for him to find a new job while also making time for our family. But with Find My Profession, the stress of job searching was taken off of our shoulders.

Mike and his team from FMP were great to work with. They started by updating my husband's resume and LinkedIn profile, which really made a big difference. They also helped us to find the right type of job opportunities that would suit my husband's skills and experience. They took care of filling out all the applications, which saved us a ton of time and effort.

One of the things that we really appreciate about FMP is that they have a great network of contacts in various industries. They were able to reach out to the right people and connect my husband with potential employers. As the process went on, Mike and his team provided us with very helpful advice on which offers would be the best fit for my husband.

In the end, my husband was able to accept a fantastic job offer from a great company, thanks in large part to the help and guidance of Find My Profession. We would definitely recommend FMP to anyone who is on the hunt for a new job. They really made the whole process less stressful and helped us to find the perfect opportunity for my husband. We would absolutely work with them again in the future!

I had some hesitation about writing this review but I think it's important to share my experiences with others who may be considering using Find My Profession. My experience was not great, unlike what I've seen from others who have used the service.

I put in the effort to fill out all the required information, let them know what kind of job I was interested in, and talked to the "resume writer" about my resume. However, this individual only spent five minutes with me and that was it.

A week later, I received a phone call from the company's founder, who informed me that he wasn't happy with the resume draft and wanted to work on it directly with me. Apparently, the original writer he had assigned to me was overburdened and couldn't complete the job to standard. So, the founder said he would fix it himself.

Over two sessions, I worked with the founder to improve my resume. It quickly became obvious that he had little to no knowledge about my industry or how to properly showcase my skills and abilities on my resume. I ended up having to provide him with all of the language and examples myself. I thought that was what I was paying for - for the experts to provide their professional expertise.

Unfortunately, my newly-revised resume failed to impress any potential employers, and I'm now back to square one. I'm left to find another writer who can create a stronger resume that will increase my chances of landing a job.

What made the experience worse was that the founder never offered to refund me for the service, despite admitting that the issue was due to his own shortcomings. This really rubbed me the wrong way and gave me pause about the company's authenticity.

My advice to anyone considering using Find My Profession would be to be cautious about what you ask for and to ask the founder how many people he uses. I get the feeling that there is a lot of smoke and mirrors behind this company.

I recently had to update my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile so I decided to try Find My Profession. I paid $1295 for the package and was promised to receive a resume draft within 7 days. However, the first resume draft I received was at the very end of the 7 days and to my disappointment, it looked like it was written for a recent college graduate. I had sent examples of my previous work experience and current LinkedIn profile information to help guide the writing process, but the writer, who I'll call *, somehow managed to ignore everything I had submitted. I contacted customer service to request a refund and was assigned a new writer, who I'll call *.

After waiting for 2-plus weeks, the barely edited version of my existing resume arrived with no indication of when I would receive my other deliverables. I had to contact several times to remind her to complete the cover letter. After another week had gone by, she finally delivered the LinkedIn profile which turned out to be a restatement of the poor quality resume they had initially produced. It took over 30 days to get all of my deliverables, which was a major waste of time and effort. My desired job postings had already been pulled due to the delay, which wasn't surprising.

What TAKE WHATEVER THIS IS INTENDED TO MEAN*** I did not like about Find My Profession was the poor service and overall quality of the deliverables. I would not recommend them to anyone looking for professional resume writing help. If you do decide to try them out, just make sure that you don't have any pressing job applications because it will be a complete waste of your time and money.

I'm here to share my experience with Find My Profession and my writer. I must say that it was a mix of both good and bad. Firstly, the end product of my resume was fairly decent and it is the only reason why I am rating them 3 stars. However, my writer's reliability and skills limited me to give them only 1-2 stars.

I consulted my writer to create a resume that would be delivered within 5-7 days, but it was delayed. I reached out to inquire about my resume when I had not heard from them by day 9. Unfortunately, it was not until day 13 that I finally received it, which is a bit concerning. Nevertheless, I received the resume but was dismayed at the quality of the first draft. It was riddled with errors and unnecessary information. Whole sections and keywords that had nothing to do with my field were included and this left me feeling a little taken aback. I felt that a "professional" resume writer should not make such grievous errors.

When I brought the errors to their attention, they admitted that they had mixed up my information with that of another client. This left me questioning my writer's reliability. My confidence in them had dwindled even further when we moved on to my LinkedIn profile, which was reportedly going to be completed within a day or two. I had not heard from them until three days after the due date, and unfortunately, I didn't get much help from the support team.

After an additional few days of waiting for my writer, I called the support team to request a new writer. Regrettably, I was not given much attention and felt that I was not being taken seriously. Instead of being offered a new writer to assist with my LinkedIn profile, I was brushed off. However, a few minutes later, my writer called me, saying she was working on it, as if by magic! This entire ordeal finally ended two days later, and by some stroke of luck, there were no errors found in my LinkedIn profile although; I'm not great with resumes and stuff, hence my use of Find My Profession.

In conclusion, everything appears to look fine to me, but I cannot honestly tell if my writer's writing skills are as bad as their reliability. I would recommend Find My Profession, but I suggest that you keep an eye out on your writer's progress.

I had a chance to grab a super cool role at my workplace. I was highly qualified for the post, but my resume was not up to the executive level. I knew that a well-written resume could be a game-changer for this opportunity. After scrolling through many online companies, I chose Find My Profession to give my resume a facelift, and guess what, it worked!

Well, let me tell you, Find My Profession is not among the cheapest agencies in the market, but it's no way the most expensive either. I could have gone to other famous sites that promised to help me with my resume at half the price or less. Nonetheless, a little research indicated that Find My Profession has a reputation for producing some top-notch results. Therefore, I didn't want to miss this chance to work with them, so I decided to give it a shot.

After I placed my order, I had a response from them within a day, and a courteous lady named Rebecca S got assigned for my resume revamp. She was super fast and responsive. Rebecca guided me through the entire process and walked me through the information she needed. We had a quick call to discuss my needs further and to fill in any gaps. I must say, Rebecca was quite articulate, and I could tell that she genuinely knew what she was doing.

When I received the draft for my resume, I was blown away. My resume looked stunning! Honestly, I can write a decent resume, but Rebecca had turned me into an IT hero! She took all the projects and tasks that I did that felt mundane and boring and transformed them into impressive and exciting experiences.

I am not sure how my interview for the role will fare, but one thing is for sure, my resume will not be the reason for my rejection. Rebecca and Find My Profession have put immense hard work, going above and beyond to make my resume the best it could possibly be. I am immensely grateful to them both!

For those of you out there with doubts about whether to invest in professional resume services, believe me, it's a worthwhile investment that can reap significant returns. As a satisfied customer of Find My Profession, I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I recently used Find My Profession to assist me in my job search, and I must say that my experience was not as great as I had hoped. Although I was assigned a professional to work with, I found that I had to put in a lot of effort on my own to get the job done. In total, I spent over 25 hours working on my project, since my position is quite unique and requires a lot of attention to detail.

After our initial phone call, I sent my assigned professional a series of emails with specific industry-specific directions for adjustments, which unfortunately were not followed properly. I noticed several errors that needed correcting, mostly grammatical or formatting, and I had to keep repeating my requests and proofreading all previous requests. This process became quite tedious, and I requested a follow-up call hoping to discuss things in person rather than via email since it seemed to be confusing.

I specifically asked for a call after 5pm on Thursday, but when the time came, I didn't receive any call or email. I was disappointed since I had left work early to ensure I wouldn't miss the call. Nevertheless, I decided to reach out at 7:30 pm just to make sure that there was no miscommunication, and the professional replied stating that I had not mentioned a specific time, which is why they had not called me. They didn't offer any additional dates or times for the call, so no second call was made. I believe this project required more than one phone call to fully understand the specifics of my profession.

Despite this setback, I continued working on my project and made some minor revisions along the way. Unfortunately, my assigned professional seemed to get more and more annoyed with every request I made. They even stated on one of the last emails that they would send me a final email, but all I received was a response wishing me luck on my job search. When I replied thanking them, the conversation ended abruptly.

Overall, I'm disappointed that I paid for a VIP package and yet received poor customer service. This service was much more expensive than other similar services on the market, and I expected more in terms of attention to detail and customer care. While I appreciate the end results, I had to do a lot of the work myself and deal with poor customer service along the way. As someone who works in a service industry, I know how important great customer service is--something that my assigned professional started out providing but unfortunately did not maintain along the way.

In all honesty, I am not as impressed with Find My Profession as I had hoped to be. I initially recommended this service to some colleagues in my industry, but after my experience, I have stopped discussing my thoughts on the company.

Find my profession is a great service to use if you're looking for an edge in a very competitive market space. As a successful surgical sales rep, I turned to Find My Profession after reading many highly ranked reviews. Although it's an expensive service compared to other services out there, I chose to work with them because the writer knew the medical device field.

After understanding their processes and being flexible with my time and communication preference, I was assigned to a writer who was very good with searchable words, capturing phrases and combining them with tons of information and successes I had achieved. The layout was very impressive as well. The finished product and feedback that was given to me was that it was "very wordy" and that there was too much information and 2 pages were completely full with little white spacing. After a few months of pressure testing with the new resume, the results were not good.

I reached out to the CEO, Mike Podesto and had a long conversation where I explained my frustrations and provided balanced feedback to him on the experience and outcome. After a few days of conversing, we agreed and disagreed on a few topics and situations. But, in the end of our conversation, whatever final decision I decided he made it clear he would honor it. We came to an agreement to rewrite my resume line by line working together for 2 plus hours every other day for the past 1.5 weeks to make sure we get it right.

Mike asked tons of questions and challenged my responses in a constructive manner (when necessary) to produce the best statement for that point to get across. I was extremely impressed with Mike's patience, logical, consistent, professionalism and have the willingness to work with someone like myself that can come across very critical, detailed oriented and sometimes narrow-minded in the sense that I had missed somethings which he was able to catch.

Mike went above and beyond by even reaching out to 5 different recruiters for overall feedback which I thought was thinking outside the box and really having my best interest at heart. Find my profession does have many challenges of having to manage so many high levels of expectations in so many industries, specialties, seniority levels, customer personalities, and overall resume search outcomes that it really can be difficult to manage them at 100% but I will say they really do their best to accommodate each individual and work together.

I would highly recommend Find My Profession to anyone looking for a re-write of their resume. While the service is expensive, it is definitely worth it in the end. I would also recommend patience and an open mind during the experience as they really try to make it the best possible resume for you.

So, I gotta tell ya about my experience with Find My Profession, y'all. At first, I wasn't too impressed with the resume writer they assigned me - seemed like they didn't know a whole lot about the IT industry that I work in. The resume they put together for me focused on things like my skills in Word and Excel, which is all well and good, but not exactly what an executive-level IT pro like me needs to highlight.

I tried to work with them, sending suggestions back and forth, but it ultimately felt like I was doing all the writing. Plus, there were some grammatical mistakes and style issues with the resume they sent me, which made me doubt whether they were really the top-of-the-line professional resume writers they claim to be.

Eventually, I decided to switch gears and work with them on my LinkedIn profile instead. I requested that they let me review it before making it public, since there were some specific details about my work that I didn't want to share publicly. But even though they said they understood my concerns, they went ahead and published the profile without my review. When I finally saw it, there were all sorts of unnecessary details about my work that I had tried to remove.

For over $1200, I was pretty disappointed. I'd been expecting the best of the best, but it didn't feel like I got that level of service. I later found out that there are other professional resume writing companies that charge more - like $2000-$3500 - but actually provide better results. So if you're an executive like me, I'd steer clear of Find My Profession and look for a more reputable service instead.

So, I was on the hunt for a good resume and LinkedIn writing service and after a lot of digging, I finally decided to go with Find My Profession. I even recommended it to my sister and she was happy with the results. Her resume and LinkedIn profile looked amazing! However, I can't say the same for mine. Although my resume was formatted well, it lacked a cohesive story. I think this was because my resume writer didn't quite understand the early stage tech industry that I work in. It seemed like the focus was more on search optimization rather than readability.

But the real disappointment for me was my LinkedIn profile. I felt like some of the design and writing style was distasteful. For example, my LinkedIn title had illustrated gold 'stars' in it, and the summary was filled with capitalized text. It just didn't seem professional or natural for my industry.

After making some edits, my LinkedIn profile is now okay, but it's definitely not worth the $1,000+ that I paid for it. I guess it's a hit or miss with Find My Profession. My sister had a good experience, but mine was just so-so.

My only experience with Find My Profession is paying for their services, but let me tell you, it was worth every penny! I was struggling to find a job and wasn't sure how to properly market myself. The team at Find My Profession took a thorough approach in understanding my career goals and went above and beyond to create a professional resume for me.

They also provided me with career coaching services and tips on how to succeed in interviews. I have since landed a job that I never would have found on my own and I couldn't be happier.

I appreciate that Find My Profession understands the importance of a well-crafted resume and provides tailored services to help job seekers like myself stand out in a competitive job market. The team is professional, responsive, and truly cares about their clients' success.

Overall, I highly recommend Find My Profession. Don't let the cost hold you back - it's an investment in your career that you won't regret.

So, I was on Find My Profession's website and I gotta say, it's pretty cool. They help you with your job search, and let me tell ya, it can be tough out there. The thing is though, there were a couple things that left me scratching my head.

First of all, I couldn't find any information about how much follow up work costs. That's kind of important, you know? I mean, sure it's great to get help with the initial job search, but what happens after that? Are you just left to fend for yourself? I think they should make that info more clear on the website.

Secondly, I wasn't sure if the resumes they help you with are tailored to specific jobs. I mean, it would be pretty pointless to have a generic resume, wouldn't it? It's important to have your resume stand out and catch the attention of potential employers. If they do offer tailoring, they should make that more apparent on the website as well.

Overall though, I think Find My Profession is a valuable resource for anyone looking for a job. They offer a lot of services and seem really dedicated to helping people find work. Plus, their website is easy to use and looks really slick. But hey, there's always room for improvement, right?

I went with Find My Profession to help me with my job search and they were alright. It was a little weird that they wanted me to put a deposit down before I even talked to a consultant, but I took a gamble based on what I saw on Cnet. The consultant I ended up working with was pretty helpful though. They wrote up a nice resume for me and gave me some good interview tips. Overall, I'd say they did an okay job, but it wasn't anything mind-blowing. If you're looking for a job and don't want to do all the work yourself, they might be worth checking out.

So I stumbled upon Find My Profession on the internet and I thought why not, let's give this a go. I was a bit confused at first, there wasn't much guidance on how their service works. But hey, I paid for it so might as well see what happens.

At first, I wasn't sure whether I needed to send them any information or whether I need to enter the information myself. I didn't really get an explanation, so I just had to figure it out on my own. After a quick browse through their website, I found that I had to provide them with my resume, job preferences, and other related information.

I was hesitant to share my personal information, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I filled out the forms and waited for the results.

A couple of days later, I got a call from one of their representatives. She was friendly and professional, but she had some trouble understanding my accent. I had to repeat some of my answers several times, which was a bit frustrating. But she eventually got the hang of it and we continued the conversation.

We discussed my job preferences and other related details. She asked me some questions and gave me some advice on how to present myself to potential employers. I appreciated her guidance and felt more confident about my job search.

A few days later, I received an email with a list of job opportunities that matched my criteria. I was impressed by their attention to detail and the personalized approach they took. I applied for a couple of the jobs and got invited to an interview for one of them.

Overall, I think Find My Profession is worth the money. They provided me with guidance and support during my job search, which was invaluable. Although their service could use some improvement in terms of guiding customers on how to provide them necessary information. That being said, I would recommend their service to anyone who needs help with their job search.

So, I came across Find My Profession when I was having a hard time getting a job that matched my skills. At first, I felt hesitant about shelling out money to get professional help, since I hardly had any extra cash lying around.

But I decided to take the plunge anyways. From what I'd read online, Find My Profession sounded like they had a lot of experience crafting resumes and cover letters that would impress recruiters. Plus, they offered a money-back guarantee, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to at least give them a try.

Now, I'm just waiting on them to get back to me with the finished product. I have to admit, I'm pretty excited to see what they come up with. I've been applying to jobs for months with no success, so anything that could give me a leg up would be amazing.

Of course, I'm still a bit nervous about whether this investment is going to be worth it, but I'm hoping that they'll provide me with something that truly sets me apart from other applicants.

Overall, I think Find My Profession is a promising service for job seekers who are struggling to get noticed in the hiring process. The only downside is how expensive it is, but I'm hoping that it'll end up being worth the cost.

P.S. I'll update my review once I've received the final product from them!

So, I recently paid for an executive resume rewrite from Find My Profession and to be honest, I was very disappointed with the service I received. The first thing I noticed was that they didn't even get my job title right, which was a major red flag. I was extremely upset as I felt like my time and money had been wasted. It's frustrating to be scammed by these people who claim to be professionals. I'm convinced now that I should have taken my needs elsewhere.

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Find My Profession to anyone looking for this type of service. They seem unprofessional and incompetent. It's a shame, really, because I was hoping for better results. I intend to report this incident to the Better Business Bureau and advise others to avoid using this service altogether. It just seems like a waste of time and money.

In conclusion, if you're in need of a resume rewrite, steer clear of Find My Profession. There are plenty of other companies out there that can provide you with more reliable and effective service. Save yourself some frustration and look elsewhere.

I recently tried out Find My Profession to help me with my resume and I must say, I was not impressed. The person writing my resume seemed a little all over the place and didn't seem to have a clear direction. I ended up with a resume that had typos and inconsistencies, which made me look unprofessional.

I was also a little stressed out with the fact that I had to provide all the content and wording for the resume myself. I was under the impression that this service was supposed to take the load off my shoulders, but it ended up being just as much work as if I had done it myself. All they did was copy and paste it into a word document template, which made me feel like I was paying a lot of money for very little work.

Speaking of money, I was quite disappointed with the price of the service. It was quite expensive for what I received, so I wouldn't recommend using this service unless you have a lot of extra cash to spare. I think it would be more reasonable if it was priced closer to $100.

Overall, I wasn't thrilled with Find My Profession and I wouldn't use it again in the future.

I have to admit, I was disappointed with Find My Profession (findmyprofession.com). I spent a lot of money on their VIP Gold Package for a federal job, and unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations.

First of all, there were some grammatical errors that needed to be corrected before the final draft was completed. But, even after that, I didn't have much luck with my job search. I applied for over 200 positions and didn't hear back from any of them.

To make matters worse, when I reached out to the Director of Executive Resume Services, I was left waiting for a response for over a month. It's frustrating that they blamed the pandemic for their lack of responsiveness and were unwilling to offer a refund or work on my resume.

Overall, I can't recommend Find My Profession. If you're looking for quality service, it's probably better to look elsewhere. It's a shame that they were so quick to take my money, but didn't provide the service they promised.
