Review of 1-on-1-Resumes.com 

So why only 1 star? Well, the first thing we notices was the writing quality – the down side of most budget resumes. In the case of 1-on-1-Resumes.com, $89.95 isn't going to buy the same quality as say, the $199.95 resume at ResumesWriters.com or the $345 resume at GreatResumesFast.com, two companies in particular that garnered our 5-star rating. That's assuming the resume samples posted at 1-on-1's website are any indication. Those samples are OK, but not nearly as good as those over at the two companies mentioned above.

But there are other troubles, as well (see below).

How It Works:

On the home page, you'll see a link marked "Click Here To Have Us Write Your Resume!" Click it, and follow the subsequent instructions. You'll be asked to forward an existing resume (if you have one), and/or provide your relevant career information via their online form. You'll be given the opportunity to add additional services to your order, like cover letters, follow-up letters, etc. Complete your order and make payment.

Don't expect a telephone interview with your assigned writer. At these prices, that's not in the cards. But you are given a means to communicate directly with your writer, should the need arise.

You'll see your finished resume in 2-3 business days via email in Microsoft Word format. Contact your writer if you need to make any changes or corrections. Now, put your resume to work: you've got 30 days to line up at least one job interview, or the company will re-write your resume at no charge.

Here's What We Liked:

• Pricing is easy on the wallet. And at $89.95, it's one price fits all.
• They can turn your resume around in 2-3 business days, even faster for an extra fee.
• Hard copies (yes, printed on actual paper) are available.
• An interview is guaranteed within 30 days, or they'll re-work and re-write your resume.
• In business since 1999. Longevity counts for something.

Here's What We Didn't Like:

• No indication that the writers are certified; presume that they are not. While certification alone is no assurance of writing quality, it does imply a certain base level of resume knowledge and marketing savvy. We like to see certification.
• Telephone interview is not in the cards. We have a bias toward telephone interviews -- although they do add to the price of a resume.
• Resume samples do not impress. They indicate a lesser quality of workmanship than those of our 3, 4 and 5-star companies.
• We got no response--at all--to repeated emails and phone calls to the company.
• Finally, the Better Business Bureau. Having previously given the company an "A" rating, they have now dropped that to an "F" and revoked BBB accreditation from the company for failure to comply with agreed BBB standards (evidently something to do with use of the BBB logo without permission).

1-on-1-Resumes.com Review - The Wrap Up:

If you've got a few more bucks to spare, consider the $149 resume over at ResumeCorner.com. It's a significant leap ahead in writing quality, and all the writers are certified and hold at least a Master's degree. Better still, the $199.95 resume over at ResumesWriters.com, a company with top-notch certified writers and very attentive customer service -- and our highest rating.
