Sophia C. (Denver, CO) – 9/30/2023:
“Maricruz helped me write an essay for my college applications. She was very meticulous and knew exactly what the college recruiters were looking for in a common app essay. She worked with me rewriting several drafts. I am so happy with my final draft! It really conveys how I feel. Maricruz is amazing at what she does.”
JF B. (Washington, DC) – 3/15/2022:
“Before I went out to join the ‘great American resignation’, I needed an updated resume. Resume 19 helped me out with that…after reading the first draft, my self-confidence built up. Resume 19 was honest about not being an expert in my field, but knew how to listen and draft something that I believe will work in my future job hunt.”
Damian V. (San Francisco, CA) – 10/22/2021:
“Maricruz was an absolute professional. She reviewed my existing resume, took from it what she needed and custom tailored a detailed and well constructed resume designed to capture the viewer’s eye. So glad I chose Resume 19 for this very worth while investment.”
William B. (New York, NY) – 10/18/19:
“After a somewhat grueling process, I accepted an offer today from Facebook. I can’t thank you enough for the work you did putting my resume together! There’s no doubt that the resume went a long way in getting me to the top of the pile of candidates…and no doubt I will continue recommending your services to my friends and family. :-)
Thanks again and talk to you soon!”
Amna A. (Jersey City, NJ) – 9/11/19:
“I want to sincerely thank you for your help, Maricruz! Literally every job I applied for called me back within 30 minutes!”
Audrey M. (New York, NY) – 9/7/18:
“While I was applying to colleges, my friend highly recommended I make an appointment with Maricruz. Within the same day, I was able to meet with her to go over my personal statement and resume. (I had to submit both before midnight, so I was grateful I was able to meet her on such short notice.)
Maricruz and I wrote a completely new personal statement and resume in less than five hours. She works incredibly quickly, and it was an extremely productive session. I couldn’t recommend her more! I was shocked and so happy that I was admitted to the top university on my list, so thank you for all your help!“
Tanya W. (East Orange, NJ) – 8/28/16:
“Working with Resume 19 to revamp my resume was an absolute delight! Maricruz was thorough, patient, supportive, and attentive to my concerns. She is a great listener who asks targeted questions that helped to reveal hidden/unrecognized transferable skills and talents that really added depth to my resume. I felt 100% more confident about applying for jobs, and about my career transition in general once I saw how she was able to completely rewrite my resume. I was very satisfied with the process and the end product. I highly recommend Resume 19 and would encourage anyone who is on the fence about retaining the services of a professional to create/transform his/her resume to give Maricruz a chance to work her magic.”
Yina W. (Clinton, NJ) – 1/14/16:
“It was my first-time using writing tutor. Maricruz was really helpful. She helped me proofread my personal statement. I got a lot of inspiration from her suggestions.
It was very easy to work with her. Her schedule was flexible, and she replied really quick in order to meet my deadline. She is very knowledgeable and had a lot of experience helping students with personal statements. Thanks to her help, I got into my dream grad school. The service is definitely worth the money.”
Sahar B. (Santa Monica, CA) – 12/21/15:
“When I first met with Maricruz, I had a draft of my personal statement prepared but I really was not happy with it. As soon as we started working, she had quickly led me into the right direction by laying out the steps to form a coherent personal statement. We ended up scrapping the old essay and forming a new personal statement that I was her pleased with. Maricruz is very knowledgeable and knows exactly what the admission committee is looking for. She was always available to meet in person or would rewrite drafts efficiently as soon as I sent them to her. Her work did not end at producing a great personal statement for me, she also helped me completely flip my resume. I just got into grad school thanks to her hard work. I know I will continue to use her for any of my writing needs.”
Ali M. (Pasadena, CA) – 12/8/15:
“Searching for a job was not easy for me. I was stuck in a job I did not like but could not devote 100% of my time and attention to searching for a new job. It became more and more difficult as time passed and I realized that no one was responding to the dozens of applications, resumes, and cover letters I had sent out. I was discouraged, and was ready to give up, resigning myself to the same dead-end job I was trying to escape. Then I found this service and it was truly my savior.
First of all, the counselor who helped me with my resume took the time to speak to me. I spent a few hours on the phone with her talking about my goals, my interests, my hobbies, my experience, everything. She was very patient and thorough, and she really took her time getting to know me, my background and experiences, and what type of job I ultimately wanted.
Within a few days, she forwarded me a draft resume to look over. I was amazed and shocked. She was able to characterize my abilities and experience in a way I couldn’t and didn’t think to do. She looked at my previous job experience and was able to pick out and feature the skills that would be valuable and attractive to recruiters and hiring managers. She then scheduled another follow up telephone call and we again went through the resume. She was open to my suggestions and was again very patient. I would have never thought to highlight my travel, my work experience, or my volunteer experience the way she had. My old resume looked like crap compared to the resume my counselor had written for me. It was amazing. She finalized a few things, and I had a brand new professional resume by the end of the week.
Sure, at first the thought of paying for a resume or cover letter seemed like an insult to me. But here are the results: I got my first call for an interview after a little more than two weeks, and a job offer within 2 months. Plus, while I was considering my first offer, I got 2 more calls to interview for other positions. I had been applying on my own for almost 5 months without a response.
I was extremely happy and satisfied with this company and their assistance. They know what hiring managers value and how to associate those skills with your background and experience. They also know how to highlight and feature the skills in your resume. It’s like putting on makeup or wearing your favorite shirt…the makeup or shirt that makes you look good and highlights your best attributes. Resume 19 helps highlight your features and makes you look super attractive to prospective employers.”
