Resume Scripter

Working multiple minimum wage jobs post graduation in New York City is perhaps the worst thing a college graduate can do to both their bank accounts and psyche. I was desperate for a full-​time job that would not only offer me benefits, but would guarantee me set hours and a decent pay check. You may ask, «Well why didn’t you plan ahead? Make sure you had a job before you moved to NYC?» I did. I sent out my resume to dozens of companies, and even resulted to good ol’ Craigslist. However, I wasn’t getting call backs to come in for an interviews and the feedback on Craigslist was sketch. Both desperate and broke I decided to invest the last of my savings into a professional resume service, and that’s when I came across Andrea.
Andrea was able to highlight my qualifications and package them onto one page. She was understanding to the changes I wanted her to make after the first draft, and totally gave me the confidence to land the job I wanted.
It’s been a year since I’ve used Andrea’s services and I have since secured a job WITH BENEFITS.
Thanks, Andrea for all your help.

Andrea and I simply didn’t see eye to eye and after reading so many glowing reviews I was very disappointed when I saw what she had produced for me. I frankly don’t agree with some of her strategies such as having a long list of two word phrases in the summary section, or mentioning that I know how to use Microsoft Office (maybe I should mention that I know how to use a telephone too), or quoting figures that are tangential at best to my accomplishments. She prefers to communicate via email (a phone session call will cost you) and I didn’t feel that she took sufficient time to understand my background and career objectives.

I read about Resume Scripter through Unilocal in the process of looking for resume editing services. I visited the website, which is very simple and easy to navigate, and it explains to you the process. I communicated with Andrea via email throughout the whole process, which to be honest made me un easy at first. By the time I received the first draft my worries went away. The resume surpassed my expectations. I wasted no time in recommending her to my friends and family.

Andrea is simply the BEST! I can’t say enough positive things about her strong work ethic and friendly, professional demeanor. She has been an incredible source of strength and guidance on my new journey into the word of interior design and real estate. She has worked with me both in her NYC office in person and during weekly Skype sessions to develop several different resumes and cover letters, and she worked with me to find and enroll in a professional program at Parson’s that has really opened my eyes to future possibilities. Although I was skeptical about working remotely, it really does feel like we are side by side. Andrea is trained as a therapist, and it comes across in how she works. Andrea is thoughtful, caring, and efficient and has just enough toughness to help keep me on task. I had worked with several career counselors but never had such strong results until now. Andrea is super detail oriented and makes me feel comfortable knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Simply put– Andrea is the most effective and empowering career coach ever, and she has helped me to be more productive as I pursue my goals!

If there could be a negative star I would give Resume Scripter one. Not only were there mistakes and I have basically had to do it myself again it was a ripoff like no other. I would HIGHLY recommend NOT to use this service

I recently got a new job with a very large raise and promotion, and I credit 99% of it to using Resume Scripter. I’d spent the last several years in a good job, but one that didn’t offer much room for growth either in position or salary. I’d constantly look at postings at other companies that I was qualified for, but every time I went to write my resume I’d procrastinate or start and stop without ever finishing something I was proud of. Finally my girlfriend got so frustrated with me that she found Resume Scripter, and made me sign up for their resume + cover letter package. It’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made (and paid for itself in my first paycheck at the new job).
The entire process was conducted via email, with Andrea sending me a pretty detailed list of questions and then a round of edits. I also sent her some jobs I was interested in to help with the resume and cover letter. In the end I had a resume I am proud of, and I got over that nervous hump that was preventing me from applying to jobs. I was surprised at how many interviews I landed, and in the end I ended up at a place where I am very happy.
Couldn’t recommend Resume Scripter enough. A++++++++++++

I can honestly say that meeting Andrea has been one of the most positive events in my life. I used to be just another corporate attorney, working away at a job that I didn’t enjoy and feeling powerless. Today, I have a fulfilling and exciting career in environmental policy-​something that seemed out of my grasp. Plus – I regularly help other friends and friends of friends who are feeling stuck in their careers. My first recommendation, always, for them or anyone else, is go to Andrea for your resume. You certainly won’t regret it!

Five years ago, as I was about to graduate from college, Andrea Gearson helped me put together a resume and draft some cover letters as I began to look at post-​graduate employment opportunities. I didn’t know it at the time, but using her services turned out to be an incredible investment. To begin with, I had been looking for a job for several months prior to meeting with Andrea and had not had any success. But within two weeks of completing my resume with her I received an offer for a position that met my objectives. Later, when I applied to law school a year or so later, I was able to use the same resume (updating it only to reflect my most recent job) for my applications. Not only did it help me get accepted to a top 25 law school, but when the time to apply for summer employment came during 1L and everyone was spending a ton of time redoing their resumes or starting over from scratch, I brought my resume to career services. I did so because we were all told that legal resumes must follow a specific form and therefore our old resume most likely would not suffice. Yet, when she reviewed my resume, the career services lady said it was actually incredibly solid, the format was excellent and only suggested I update it with current law school activities. So yeah… Andrea knows her stuff… and she has since the beginning. Since then, I have used the resume she helped me create to secure several other positions for which I probably was not qualified :) I would and have recommended her to my closest family and friends.

In the past few years, I’ve wasted countless miserable hours of my life laboring on my resume. With Resume Scripter, I got great results in ¹⁄₁₀^th of the time, which was well worth the price! Highly recommended.

Andrea worked on my resume early last year, with a great outcome. So, when I decided to change career paths, I gave Andrea a call to ask about revamping my previous version. From the beginning, she intuitively knew exactly what I wanted to showcase and highlighted points relative to my past experience, but focused as well on my most recent qualifications, my knowledge and enthusiasm together with my past history, and created a resume that blew me away! It has an extremely professional appearance, yet with an artistic style, and is written in a way that is sure to leave a lasting impression on potential employers. Even though I have been applying for positions for a only short time, I have already received two calls for interviews! Amazing work once again, Andrea!

It pains me to have to write this review anonymously because I stand by it 100%, but I do not necessarily want potential employers knowing I have utilized a professional resume writing service.
Having said that, I am an avid Unilocal user, with 32 reviews written to date since I began using Unilocal in May of 2015. It is through Unilocal that I found Andrea and her company, Resume Scripter. Quite frankly, I am surprised at all of the mostly positive reviews.
After researching numerous resume writing services in the NYC area, I narrowed the choices down to two companies in Manhattan. Both Resume Scripter and the other company had high ratings, but Resume Scripter had a higher number of reviews in addition to the high rating, so I went with Resume Scripter.
I first contacted Andrea through her website on 07÷16÷15 and over the course of a week, Andrea and I e-​mailed back and forth several times. I had a few common questions regarding the process (ie, length of time from start to finish, whether the price included a reformat of my resume or if she would just be assisting with word revisions, and if the resume may be tailored for two different types of jobs). Andrea was fairly quick to respond to my inquiries.
However, after asking one or two questions (listed above), I decided in the interest of saving time and ensuring nothing would be lost in «email translation,» I asked if Andrea had «a moment» to speak over the phone. Please keep in mind, I was not asking for a 15 – 30 minute consultation for free; I simply thought it would be more time efficient for both of us to speak over the phone for no more than 5 minutes before I sent my deposit to Andrea. Two days later, she responded saying her week would be very hectic and she would only be able to respond via e-​mail. She did mention I could call her 800 number and leave a message with one of her «associates» (more on that later) and they would be able to answer any questions I might have. She did offer a 30 – 45 minute phone conversation a week out.
I found it odd that a) she could not make time for 5 minutes for a new client in the next few business days and b) she had an 800 number. Although my gut told me to go with another company (I had a bad feeling about someone that could not speak over the phone), I was eager to begin the process, so I could start applying for new positions. So, two days later, on 07÷22÷15 I sent my deposit and Andrea confirmed receipt.
In Andrea’s e-​mails, she made it very clear that the first part of the process would involve her reviewing my resume and in 5 – 7 business days I would receive a list of questions. She said the entire process (from receipt of deposit to receiving the final resume) would be 10 – 15 business days.
On 07÷22÷15, Andrea confirmed receipt of my deposit and said she would be sending me a list of questions in 5 – 7 business days. On the 8^th business day, I e-​mailed her to confirm that she did not require any additional information, since I had already provided her with my resume. No response.
On 08÷03÷15 (the 9^th business day), I left a message with one of her «associates.» The following day, I left her another message and sent her a polite e-​mail, in which I noted that I had left her two messages and would simply like an update on where she was in the process. Again, no response to my voice messages or my e-​mails. At this time, I was growing frustrated. If she could not deliver in the promised timeframe, I had wasted that time and would need to start over with another company.
On 08÷04÷15, I left my final message with her 800 number. After speaking with one of the «associates» I confirmed what I already had gathered; that she was using a reception service. Unfortunately, the reception service had already relayed my two previous messages to her as «urgent» with no response back. I’d like to note that I was also on vacation the week of August 3^rd and did not appreciate having to deal with this on my one vacation during the year. When I received no response to my third (voice) message left with the reception service Andrea hired, nor a response to several e-​mails sent directly to Andrea, I sent Andrea an e-​mail on the 12^th business day, notifying her that I was disputing the deposit with PayPal and requesting a refund.
It both saddens and frustrates me that a business would operate in this manner, particularly with a time sensitive matter such as someone’s job search. If she did not want or have time for my business, she should have let me know upfront. I have learned a very valuable lesson from this, which is to always trust my gut feeling. In this case, my gut told me to take my business elsewhere and I should have listened earlier.

Well, this is my first review on Unilocal and I must say I’m not happy that I have to write this.
I’m completing my graduate degree and beginning my job search. I knew my resume needed a lot of work and I want to put my best foot forward. So, I decided to put any search on hold until I had someone with expertise reformat what I currently have. After doing some online research, I found Andrea’s website. I really liked the sample resume she has on her website, so I decided to send her an email to get the process started.
When Andrea contacted me on June 15^th, she said she would love to work with me, explained how the process worked, and told me that the process generally takes 10 – 15 business days. I was thrilled and thought that the timeframe was reasonable. So I sent her 2 job descriptions of jobs that I had interviewed for and sent her my deposit.
And I waited. After two weeks with no followup… I sent her an email to check in. She answered back and sent along a questionnaire for me to fill out to provide her with more detailed information about my experience (a great idea). She also offered… for the cost of $ 65…an appointment with her associate for 50 minutes to go over this information over the phone. I decided to go with this option to push the project along.
That was 2 weeks ago. And my draft? Haven’t seen it. In fact, after sending another email and getting no response back, I finally had to send an email asking for my deposit back. It seems that Andrea is not interested in doing this job. That’s my guess. There has been no communication.
And I’m out $ 140. Over a month has gone by since we first made contact and I have nothing to show for it. It’s been disheartening to say the least.
If anyone out there knows of a reliable resume writer… please let me know… I’m back to square one.

Professional is not just a branding pitch with this vender. I reached out to Andrea in the late night hours and received an encouraging response the following morning. She is both a reasonable and customer service focused, and one of the best eCommerce merchants I have ever done business with. I highly recommend.

What an amazing experience! I originally found Andrea on Unilocal and that’s why I’m back writing a review. She was extremely patient from start to finish. Answered all my questions and gave me tons of feedback. If you are that person who has an old dated resume like I did and wants results I suggest you give this young lady a shot :)

I decided to update my resume to include my current job responsibilities. However, the resume was very basic and I felt like it needed an upgrade. I looked online for some resume help and came across Andrea. I immediately sent her an email and she responded the same day to answer every question I had regarding her services.
After sending her my basic resume, she then sent me a list of questions to get a deeper understanding of my past roles and accomplishments. When I received the first draft, I was very impressed. I then decided that I might as well let her create a new cover letter as well. Again, I was impressed with the final result.
I should have emailed Andrea a long time ago. If you are like me and you’re looking at your resume and cover letter and do not feel confident with it, let alone confident in sending it out, then look no further. Trust me.
Ps. I might as well update my linkedin as well. So I will be contacting Andrea again very soon.
Thank you Andrea!

I was in the market and looking for a change in my profile especially since i work in the Executive profile. I had a great resume but it was way too long and just didn’t bring out the essence and bring focus to what i wanted it to.
I found Andrea after some research online. She wasn’t a typical business owner looking for more clients. I actually had to wait a while for her to free up since she believes in focussing on the work she does and giving it a 100%. Finally when we started collaborating, it was awesome. It was a very interactive process and the resume i finally ended up with was awesome, succinct and very professional. She did a fantastic job and i couldn’t be happier. I have even recommended my co workers to her so they also can reap the benefits.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I needed to have my resume redone as it had been a very long time since I last had to go job hunting. I did a search on Unilocal and saw ResumeScripter was highly recommended, so I contacted Andrea. Andrea sent me a long list of questions in order to customize my resume. Shortly afterwards I received a finely worded draft resume from Andrea that needed very few corrections. Andrea quickly made the corrections and forwarded me an awesome resume. As soon as I posted the new resume I started receiving inquiries from very high quality employers. I am currently deciding which offer to accept.
Andrea was very responsive, courteous, and caring. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in the hunt for a new job. I also had Andrea redo my LinkedIn profile, which she did a great job as well.

I cannot explain how grateful I am to have found Andrea’s services. Her approach to career counseling is hands on and expert. Having her revamp my resume was the smartest decision I’ve ever made. I am so proud to show it off and to send to anyone that I network with. After using her service, I immediately sent out 25 applications and received 20 interview requests almost immediately! Normally one wouldnt think to pay for a resume revamp, but take it from me, it is one of the best career decisions you will make. I am so grateful to Andrea for her help and the boost in confidence that my resume has given me. She is also extremely communicative and answered any and all questions I had during the process. I look forward to continuing to consult her whenever my resume needs updating. Thank you Andrea!

We spoke for at least 30 minutes and I answered all the questions you had about the job I was applying to, my work experience and my previous resume that I sent you so there was NOT any «miscommunication».
I paid you via PayPal and I just checked my account and you never refunded me the money so that is MORE BS!

Like other reviewers, I too never thought to use a resume writing service. Having someone put a fresh, new spin on my school, and work experience was imperative to me having the confidence to look for a higher paying job AND ask for a raise at my current one.
Andrea asked me over 50 questions in an email, which all seemed to cover important topics that I had overlooked.
It was clear through her questions that she invested the time to truly understand my life’s accomplishments. This was absolutely money well spent. Andrea even emailed me a few links to some prospective jobs that fit my criteria.
I would not hesitate to use her again.
If you want to have absolute confidence when sending out your resume, email Andrea.
