Find My Profession

Amy, Michael, and Steven have been very accommodating during this entire process. I had my LinkedIn profile fixed, worked to get the best resume, and I look forward to officially entering the job search with their help.

So far so good!

Their interview training honestly surprised me and really put me in my place. I heard things that humbled me and I needed it because my overconfidence was killing me in interviews.

Everyone thinks Find My Profession know everything and clearly they do not! Thank you find my profession I never took any of it personally and you run an excellent and brave service!

I had multiple versions of my resume and none of them produced expected results. After I spoke with Jerome and received my first draft, I realised why - the new resume was professionally written and most important well formatted... it had the Wow factor to it. No hard feelings when asked to do few minor adjustments. I also worked with Mike on my LinkedIn and cover letter and again, response right on time, you can ask questions as many times as you want etc. To sum it up - very professional service, pleasure to work with and highly recommended.

Heather has been attentive and engaged. She listened to my ramblings and showed me a path that was like an "ah ha" obvious moment, why didn't I see that sooner, and she gave me directions for the next steps forward, which is where I am now.

I just finished my 4th and final interview with my dream job. I wouldn't have even made it to the 1st interview without the advice and guidance Mike had for me. He truly is a rock star! The tips, the resume, and the speed at which he worked for me were hands down the best I've experienced. Twice my resume came up as a topic of conversation, "Your resume was at the top of the stack" and " I really like your resume". I'm grateful and hope that when your next big opportunity shows up, you are as prepared as Mike and his team made me.

A promotional opportunity arose at the organization where I am employed. I feel strongly that I am qualified for the position but felt my resume was lacking in many ways. It was not an executive quality resume. I decided that a professional re-write of my resume would be a good investment and I was not disappointed.

This service is not cheap by any means, although it is also not anywhere near the most expensive. I could have easily gone to one of the services that provides a resume rewrite at half the price or less. But I also believe in paying for quality and the ratings for Find My Profession were very good. The reviews spoke highly of the process and although I had trepidations about spending that amount of money, I went ahead and purchased the service.

Within a day of placing my order, I was contacted by Find My Profession and assigned a writer who would work with me named Rebecca S. Rebecca was very responsive to my needs and walked me through getting the information together that she needed. Part of this effort was to schedule a short call to discuss what I am looking for and get any missing details. Rebecca took the time on the call to get all the information she needed to write up an impressive resume. Once I received the draft of the resume, I was blown away. I don't think I am a bad resume writer by any means, but she is a resume artist. She took many of the projects I have led that seem mundane and boring to me and made them sound exciting and impressive.

I don't know how the interview for the position will go. But if I don't get the job, it won't be because of the resume. Thank you, Rebecca and Find My Profession, for a job well done. I appreciate the hard work and attention to detail. I appreciate your ability to turn me into an IT superhero.

If you are hedging on investing in a professional resume, it can be well worth the investment. I would recommend Find My Profession for anyone looking to upgrade their position.

I had posted a previous review that discussed mediocre output from the service. I was contacted shortly thereafter by another individual at Find My Profession (previous writer's boss), who wanted to make things right. She took the time to email me, set up a phone call, go over the changes I was seeking and ones I wasn't happy with from the previous revision, and then gave me a synopsis of what changes she'd like to make. In the end, I'm VERY happy with this revision, both my resume and LinkedIn profile appear more professional and it's evident she took her time to revise everything to meet my needs.

This was the type of business and career consulting i had been searching for. My career expands back to pre-internet times. I was never quick to understand the importance of linkedIn.

After the LinkedIn profile makeover from Find My Profession, I can see my recruiters place an importance on it.

This is a service I recommend for all those seeking to find new work, not just people my age. Good luck and cheers to our success!

It was great working with Mike and Steven during my job search. Mike did a great job helping me revamp my resume so I could be more appealing to employers. In addition, he was responsive to my requests and always provided sound advice throughout my job search. Steve, on the other hand, was a great motivator and promptly completed my job applications. There is no other service like FMP out there and theyve set the bar very high for any other potential rival. I look forward to working with them again.

Superior customer service, Lindsay runs a tight ship and is dedicated to 100% customer satisfaction and the creation of high quality, highly effective products. Bruce is an amazing writer, he truly cares about his client's success and you can tell from his attention to detail, accurate, and the meaningful products he writes. Worth every penny, I highly recommend this service.

I highly recommend the team at Find My Profession led by Mike Podesto! I used their executive resume makeover service and loved the product. I had previously utilized other resume makeover services and the results from FMP were far superior! The new resume absolutely helped me properly display my background and experience and land my dream job. Thanks so much! 5+ stars.

I worked with Andy on updating my resume to target a higher level position that I feel I qualified for, but my existing resume did not reflect. Andy was awesome! He was very personable, understood my needs and delivered a tremendous product in a short amount of time. I would recommend this service to anyone!

Original review below.
Following this, Lindsay contacted me and offered to work with me personally. We discarded the original material from the previous writer and started fresh. Completely different experience. Top notch service. The quality of the work was outstanding and Lindsay offered very valuable insight along the way.
Extremely satisfied with what I got.

The moral of the story is that if you don't like what you get the first time, work with them, it's absolutely worth it.

The communication is good and Find My Profession mean well, and they are probably more than adequate for mid-career work. Unfortunately, they market themselves as executive resume writers, and that, they are not. Here is my experience in detail so you can draw your own conclusions.
I am currently an executive at a Vice President level in a large public company, looking to transition to the next level (CIO). I was assigned a resume writer and as early as the introductory call, it quickly became apparent that she was unaware of the industry (IT) and was creating a resume focusing on skills and strengths significantly below what a top IT executive would be expected to have. I showed my resume to my colleague and he jokingly noted that they missed putting that I was experienced in Word and Excel, while mentioning very little around leadership and strategy.
In addition to that, the resume had style issues (granted those may be subjective) as well as grammatical mistakes. The linkedin profile link at the top of it linked to someone else's profile. We went back and forth a few times with suggestions - and after it became apparent that I was now doing the writing and we were not getting anywhere, I decided to just stop wasting my time. I asked that we transition to the linkedin profile. I specifically asked that I review the information before it is made public on the profile. They base the profile on the information in the resume, and that had some stuff that was too specific for a public profile (budgets managed, specific technologies, etc). I made sure they understood my concerns, and why I needed to review the profile before it's published. It was supposed to be done in 48 hours, I hadn't heard for over a week, checked a couple of times only to get a variant of "the dog ate my homework" and then finally, I got the email that the profile was ready, and live, without my specifically requested review. I frantically clicked the link and sure enough, it had all of the details I specifically asked not to make public. In addition to those details which I frantically started deleting, the profile was basically cut and pastes from the resume which really didn't make much sense in that context.

Honestly, for over $1200, it was very disappointing. I thought I was getting the top of the line (as opposed to other companies offering 500-750 packages). It wasn't worth it. I subsequently found out alternatives for $2000 - $3500. Honestly, I would pay the difference and get better service.

Again, this isn't an attitude thing, they try their best. I really jus think they should be operating a couple of organizational layers below what they are targeting.

My experience?

Found the service on LinkedIn. Scheduled a call on the homepage. Talked to the founder. Answered a lengthy survey. Talked to the founder about my answers. Received a quote. Started working with Find My Profession. Started getting interviews.

Feeling positive and waiting to hear back.

Note: Yes, there is lots of work to do in between. Find My Profession were very helpful and supportive throughout the process.

Had purchased the Executive package in order to update my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. Sharla was assigned to work with me and she was very responsive and focused on ensuring my background was properly reflected in all the work she prepared.

I highly recommend Find My Profession and Sharla if given the opportunity to work with her.

Andy really took the time to get to know me and go through my previous resume and experience line by line so he could better understand me and the work that I did. He was kind, professional, and extremely helpful! I would 100% recommend Andy!

I signed up for the C-Level Resume Writing service and I could not have been happier with my experience. Andy was assigned as my writer and from start to finish he took the time to get to know me and my goals. He was extremely responsive to all my emails and calls. He was very knowledgeable, professional and extremely helpful. I would 100% recommend findmyprofession.com, and if you can I would request Andy!

Wow, that was easy. I contacted Findmyprofession to help me with my Linkedin account to expand my network and to help make my content more compelling. After our first scheduled call, Find My Profession had it done in days. Worth it in every sense.

Overview (I have a few additional points in emails but will be brief): I worked along with the assigned professional. I put in over 25 hours since my position is unique which I think is needed to get good results. I had a phone call and then sent emails bulleted with directions for adjustments industry specific that I found that were not followed (over and over). I felt that there were errors etc that I needed to correct (a lot that were mostly grammatical or formatting) and then repeat my requests and proof read on those previous requests. I requested another follow up call hoping to talk rather than email directions since maybe this was confusing. I had said to call after 5pm on Thursday. I left work early and made sure I was home at 4:30pm to ensure I didn't miss the call. I received no call or email. I reached out at 7:30pm stating she may have been caught up to reschedule. This professional replied: you didn't state a time so I didn't call, never mentioning additional dates or times for that call. No second call was made, which honestly these projects need more than one phone call to understand different professions.
Following that I had a few minor revisions that this professional seemed to get annoyed with. She had stated on one of the last emails that she would send a final email but then only replied: Good luck on your job search. I replied Thank you. Overall I feel disappointed that I bought a VIP package with poor customer service resulting, which is very expensive compared to all other services. I went this route because of the reviews and considered it a complete investment. While Im happy with the end results, I put in a lot of work, and time into this project but feel that I experienced poor customer service overall. I work in an industry that I need to have great customer service which I feel that this professional started out like but got annoyed with minor requests that she should have remembered or honesty picked up on for formatting concerns.
Overall, Im not as impressed as I hoped I'd be. I had mentioned this service to a few industry colleagues but have stopped discussing my experience after the above occurred.

Thanks to Find My Profession (FMP), I am happily employed in the solar industry doing outside sales. Everything was stress-free from start to finish. The customer support is also very helpful with resume support and recommendations. I would recommend Find My Profession (FMP) to anyone seeking the job of career or their dreams.
