Very unprofessional business. The actual resume was passable, but the interactions with the business owner really put me off.First, she constantly talked over me when trying to get to know me. She would ask me questions and then interrupt me as I was answering them, moving the conversation on. Over the 2 weeks doing business, I never once felt heard.When I arrived at the business for an in person consultation, she started in on anti-mask and COVID is fake nonsense. Through the entire in person interview, which lasted nearly 3 hours, we maybe spent an hour of that time on my resume. The first 30 minutes was her asking me for computer help (I am in IT as a career), followed by a long winded history lesson on her business. It was almost an hour into the process before we even started talking about me resume.After the business was concluded, payment exchanged, she then began preaching about her church. She went on and on about her religion, including handing me a pamphlet. This was the final straw. I will never do business with this company again, and I will be advising my network to avoid as well.All said and done, the resume was passable (I had to fix it up a little after it was sent to me), but the lack of professionalism makes this business a must avoid.
Linda is a fantastic individual to work with. Shes extremely knowledgeable in her field and takes the time to get to know her client personally. Id highly recommend Linda for anyone looking to take their resume to the next level
I was recommended by two good friends (both quite discerning) who have used About Words. Linda holds a balance of professionalism, efficiency, and flexibility through excellent customer service. In the new frontier of electronic resume scans, shes up-to-date on the latest technology to make sure you get noticed. Shes both intuitive and realistic, distilling your best skills while asking the right questions to reflect on your talents you may have overlooked. Her prices are more than reasonable, especially compared to others in the industry. Highly recommend her personalized service; will be using her in the future for updates.
Linda is a very talented and gifted writer. My resume is a wonderful reflection of my career. She loves writing resumes and this is evident when you work with her. She takes the time to find out who you are so she can put it into words and make a great first impression of who you are and what you have to offer. I am very pleased with her work and would highly recommend.KathyPlymouth, Michigan

I have always personally written my resume. I was nervous about turning this task over to this company. However, I am so glad that I did! Linda was very professional from start to finish.

I would gladly recommend About Words to anyone seeking the best outcome for their resume.

I utilized About Words resume service to help write and update my resume to better conform to current employment standards and hiring customs. 30 plus years of gainful employment with my current company were ending because of significant “downsizing”.The initial personal meeting and discussion with the About Words owner was very thorough and lengthy. It entailed skill set, goals, career accomplishments, work style and philosophy, and professional experience. Afterwards, I quickly received my final resume via E-mail.Wow! I can find no better word to best express my gratitude and thanks for the exemplary work. I found my resume to be professionally written and uniquely mine. It was not a re-written generic form that one can easily find on the impersonal internet. With pride and confidence, I can now begin a new career search.Many Thanks and Kindest Regards,W K
