I had a wonderful experience with YES. This is a super-organized, highly efficient company with such a supportive approach. Every single person I worked with at YES was extremely pleasant, professional and responsive. They all listened to my unique needs and worked very hard to meet them - which they did. I will happily return to YES for any further career needs and highly HIGHLY recommend them. I would give them 20 stars if I could.

As a manager, I encourage my teammates to update their resume regularly, which I do. Recently I was on a hiring panel and read dozens of resumes and realized most had drawn me in and produced questions to ask the candidate(s). I looked mine over and even told my YES counselor, I wouldn’t want to ask me anything. Before using YES, I would simply update my Word document, this was my only time using resume writing services. YES basically revamped my resume, new format, new look, putting the important information where it needed to be. The team at YES was great to work with, from the beginning I was informed on how the program worked. I was able to reach someone whenever I had a question or wanted clarification. The edit team made changes as soon as I let them know and made the entire process effortless. I gained confidence from working with them and knowing that I have a resume that accurately describes me. I have already recommended them to colleagues. I shared my resume with a few and they were also impressed with the “improved” version. The product YES created accurately lays out your professional career.

Before contacting Yes, I was just confused about the conflicting feedback I got when I interviewed. Yes provided me with interview practice, which was a huge help. My over all experience working with the Yes team was positive. I gained practice interviewing, which is what I was lacking. I also got a new job, though it was one I had interviewed before getting the training. Still, I would recommend Yes’s services to anyone need help with interview preparation.

I contacted YES because I thought it would be important to communicate skills given my limited experience as a student. Basically, I wanted them to help me look good. The services I got were the resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. That helped me understand better to tailor my resume and cover letter for specific internships and positions instead of using one version to apply to everything. As a result, I got accepted to William and Mary, which was a reach school for me.

Michka El | Oct 12, 2020
YES Career Coaching & Resume Writing Services | Oct 12, 2020
