Excellent Resume service, they go above and beyond to make sure your needs are met. After I got out of the Navy I sort of had to start from the bottom again and work my way up, but once I found Vertical Media Solutions, with the resume they made me I was able to land my dream job and my current career as an overseas contractor. Joel and Pierre in particular are awesome, even after youve already paid, or even need help with something other than resumes thats still job related they never give up until youre 100% satisfied and they even keep in touch with you to make sure you got the job.

Working with Vertical Media Solutions was easy, quick, professional, and reasonably priced. I am so incredibly happy with the resume and cover letter they supplied me, and their added service of updating a LinkedIn profile to match is just icing on the cake. If you are busy like I am, their process is perfect - you just need to take the time for two phone calls. Mind you, theyre longer phone calls, but theres no travel time involved and you still get personal service. I appreciate the time they took to understand my background, interests, and future goals. This level of service ensured that the resume they built for me fully encompassed my skills and professional background. The turnaround time from the first phone call to a polished, professional resume was incredibly fast. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to update their resume and will be using them in the future to update my own. Thank you so much Joel & Wilson!

I was blown away with the incredible job Vertical Media Solutions did on my cover letter and resume. The whole process from start to finish was nice and smooth with great communication on their end. I was amazed with the way Wilson was able to take what I had filled out on the questionnaire and translate it into a professional format that I wouldnt have been able to duplicate my; he truly is a magnificent wordsmith. They even put together a LinkedIn profile for me. You definitely get what you pay for, and then some! I highly recommend using Vertical Media Solutions.

We worked with VMS several times since 2015 when going through staffing changes. The corporate outplacement services are the best weve ever used. The process was explained in detail and the outplacement packages are flexible. We had a unique situation with an executive transition that required some extra care and attention and the team at vertical media solutions got the job done. If youre searching for a top outplacement firm in Michigan, give them a call.

Extremely professional! I highly suggest this company. Obtaining a cover letter and resume from Vertical Media Solution was a seamless process. The company was very responsive. I submitted a request online and heard back the same day. After our initial conversation, we scheduled a time the following week to walk through my professional background. I felt like the company produce a great cover letter and resume for me and cares about the work that they do.

If you’re looking to revamp your resume, need a cover letter, or are looking for some career coaching, I would highly recommend using Vertical Media Solutions. I provided my old resume, filled out a questioner, and interviewed with my resume writer for about an hour. When I received my resume, I was BLOWN away. My writer (Dean) helped highlight my accomplishments, went into great detail, and put together a quality resume that looked incredible!Also, the customer service here is remarkable. Joel Marotti was incredibly helpful, very professional, and there to answer any questions that I had. Even after my resume was compete, he had called just to see how things were going and helped answer additional questions that I had. Overall, Im very satisfied and would highly recommend.

I just had the most amazing phone conversation with Joel at Vertical Media Solutions today and there is no question that he and his company are the go-to source for resume writing and career strategies. I am not even an official client (yet) and he took such an unexpected and generous amount of time talking with me. That definitely says a lot about how they want to get to know you as a client and how they intend to customize an action plan that will play to your ultimate strengths to apply for (and SECURE) a really great position.During our conversation, Joel asked a ton of introspective questions and provided A LOT of things for me to consider to get set on the right path to be a star candidate for my DREAM JOB. I found the fees quoted very reasonable and incredibly high-value based on todays phone interaction alone. Joel was really quick to respond to my contact form inquiry as well out of the 3 places I reached out to after a Google search for resume writers in Michigan. Be sure to contact Joel and his team at Vertical Media Solutions if you are simply in thinking mode about making a career change or need to take your job / career search to the next level. They also offer interview coaching and career counseling (both of which I am also considering). Highly recommend! (I have no doubt you will, too.)

I had the opportunity to work with the team at Vertical Media Solutions before transitioning to a new position. Dean was very easy to work with and was able to put together an excellent resume very quickly. Not worrying about how my resume was representing me to employers was such a relief - they gave me a product that presented my qualifications in the best possible light. I would confidently recomend this company to others.

I was happy with the services I received here. With my old resume I was never getting any interview offers. But, as soon as my new resume was completed I got 2 interviews right away for jobs that would be very interested in. It was exciting to see that I finally had my foot in the door after all of those months of hearing nothing. The turn around time was quick, and I am glad I made the investment for my future. Now I hope to land one of these jobs soon!

If I could rate these guys a 10 star I would! After calling around to multiple people and got the run around, I called VMS and Joel answered and took me under his wing. Joel set me up with Pierre and they both provided excellent customer service. I now feel confident in my resume and it has opened so many doors. Thank you VMS!

I cannot say enough about Joel Marotti and Vertical Media Solutions! After my resume and cover letter were expertly redone, I landed an interview for a job that is perfect for me. As the interview came closer, I became more nervous and realized I was not prepared. Joel was kind enough to fit me into his schedule for coaching the DAY BEFORE I was scheduled to interview. Joel helped me prepare on how to answer questions, the intelligent technical questions to ask to determine if I can do the job successfully, and most importantly, how to get instant feedback. I am confident because of Joels coaching, I presented myself in the most professional, honest, and knowledgeable way possible! Thank you Joel!

My resume was extremely dated and it needed some thing more to help me stand out. Wilson called me and asked me all of the right questions to help highlight my accomplishments from three previous employers, and in turn I have a really amazing resume. I am excited to see what doors will open for me with the new resume I have. Thanks to Wilson, Joel and Vertical Media Solutions!

Working with Vertical Media Solutions is undoubtedly the best decision I made for my career. VMS improved my communication and analytical thinking skills, giving me a notable advantage in my interviews. They changed the way I viewed the entire interview scenario. Armed with the knowledge I gained from my interview coaching, I was able to engage the hiring manager in a discussion rather than the typical (and dreaded) question/answer format. I felt confident and calm while interviewing for the first time in my life which allowed me to obtain the challenging, engaging position Id always sought.Outstanding experience. Thank you!

I had them redo my resume and cover letter when looking for a new job. They did a wonderful job on both. We had a long conversation and they walked me through the entire process. The overall experience was great and I am very pleased with the results. I would recommend them to someone who is looking for a new job or just wants to update their resume.

VM Solutions is a cut above the rest when it comes to their resume writing services. I worked with Pierre who was a professional copywriter that made the entire experience fast, easy and enjoyable. The process that they have in place is thorough and detailed - They truly put extra care and effort into their work so that you know you are receiving a quality package - One that will give you that extra edge on the job market. These are not cookie cutter resumes or canned templates - they create unique resumes from scratch that fit your style and convey the key information about your experience and quantified achievements. My experience and satisfaction with this company and their services have been through the roof and I will definitely be a returning customer the next time my resume needs to be updated.

Vertical Media Solutions has been a been a comprehensive, full service organization that has helped both me, and my wife compile a thourough package that has prepared us for our career search. We have both gained knowledge, understanding and help from both Joel and Wilson. It has been a pleasure working with them. They have exhibited professionalism, while still providing an enjoyable collaborative experience. I would highly recommend their services weather it is resume/cv building or interview preparation. All of which has helped both me and my wife be successful in our career search.

I highly recommend using Vertical Media Solutions for all your career placement needs. From start to finish, they provided me with a highly effective re-written resume, career and interview coaching, and the creation of a LinkedIn account. Joel Marotti and Pierre Roustan really deliver quality products and services with a quick turnaround time. Joel Marotti is inspiring – – a true motivator who is very gracious, kind, extremely professional and wonderfully accommodating. Definitely five stars for this wonderful firm!

I recently contacted Vertical Media Solutions for my resume needs. During my initial conversation I spoke with Joel Marotti. I discovered Joel’s outstanding professionalism and sincere desire to assist me with utilizing the service. He answered all my questions no matter how detailed and he exhibited extensive knowledge in his understanding of specific hiring processes with regard to several diverse types of employers. Joel gave me a very confident feeling about working with Vertical Media Solutions. Joel also explained in extensive detail the process that the company utilizes in preparing the documents. In a subsequent conversation I was notified that Pierre Rouston would be drafting my resumes. Pierre exhibited a wealth of knowledge in his understanding of how to format of resumes to highlight my areas of expertise given my job related experiences. I was even given great inside advice from both gentleman on how the current employer functions in its methods of hiring potential employees during some of our conversations. I recommend Vertical Media Solutions to anyone who is serious about representing themselves in the professional world. My expectations were exceeded. Based on my experience, I would give more than 5 stars but apparently the system has a five-star limit.

I contacted VMS to get my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile updated since it had been a while and I had limited knowledge of updating those things. They did a fantastic job of making everything look very professional. Joel and Wilson were more than helpful with any questions I had and were very detailed with the whole process. Everything went as smoothly as it possibly could and I cant thank Vertical Media Solutions enough for the work they did. I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs help with their professional documents.

Joel and Wilson take time to get to know you and what your goals are in regards to your future. This time then is represented in a resume that reflects exactly what your strengths are and allows for future employers to get a real sense of who you are and what you can do. I would recommend Vertical Media Solutions to anyone who is looking for help in acquiring their future dream job.

I cant say enough about VMS!My challenge was that my resume was out-of-date, much had to be put down, highlighted, yet to pull everything together and standout professionally. It was difficult in doing so and I turned to Vertical Media Solutions for help.With interviewing with Joel and Wilson, both really brought out the day to day work style, ethics and value I give let alone the complex Technical nature of my career. The Team at VMS put together and presented one outstanding resume and cover letter that Im most pleased with.... you guys really did a great job!The very best,-Charlie

Review №29

I contacted VMS after nearly a decade with one organization. I was ready to create a new resume and get guidance on what recruiters do and do not want to see in a cover letter. After an initial call with Joel, I knew I wanted to work with them and fortunately they were willing to work with my tight deadline. As many of us will discover, writing about ourselves can be quite challenging and it’s easy to get stuck. The highly qualified and credentialed staff at VMS get to to know you and your goals and then focus in on the areas recruiters and hiring committees will be interested in. No less than three people take part in the process, making sure no opportunities to highlight your achievements are missed. It feels really good to speak with experts, answer the questions and let them take care of the hard part. When I received my resume and cover letter I was impressed to say the least (also embarrassed by my initial attempt at doing it on my own). Trust me, I’m not usually one to write reviews, but this service is worth it! I’m now confident in my resume and feel good sending it out. It highlights the contributions I’ve made to my employer in a clear and accurate way. Next up, interview coaching with VMS!

I would like to thank Vertical Media Solutions for their hard work and dedication in writing my resume, cover letter and developing my LinkedIn account. They did a fabulous job and guided me through the entire process. Their questions were in depth and they even stumped me on a couple! Once I received my resume and cover letter, I immediately applied for about 6-7 jobs to see if and how it would work. To my surprise, I ended up with a personal email from some and phone calls from others which was amazing considering I hadnt received anything but a computer generated response from my old, out dated and poorly self-written resume. My LinkedIn profile was and is very professional and I have had a few responses on that also, all very positive. I would highly recommend them and say that I didnt waste a penny! I wish I would have known about them before starting my job search. Again, thank you so much for the help and guidance

I am a recent college graduate, and relatively early on in my professional work experience. I reached out to VMS in order to gain some insight into how to set myself apart in the job application process. I couldnt be more pleased with the experience that I had working with both Joel and Wilson. Joel took the time to thoroughly walk me through the process I would follow in working through a resume and cover letter. Then Wilson took me through the survey of my past experience and got to know everything that I have done in my work background. One of my favorite parts of the process is that VMS asks for some job areas that you are interested in so that they can tailor your documents to those job categories specifically! I would recommend VMS to anyone looking to improve their resume/cover letter and feel ready to find my next job with the documents I received.

Huge thanks to the professional team at VMS!! I contacted Joel back in 2014 to have my resume professionally redone. The process was very organized and thorough. After a quick interview with Joel he paired me with the writer he saw most fit and I continued my interviews with another writer. After an extensive (again, thank you for being thorough) interview with my writer, I received my final resume about a week later. I can not express enough how incredible it felt that my resume actually articulated ME and my abilities and skills better than I couldve ever dreamed of doing- had I written it myself. I sent my newly revamped resume to my top 5 prospective positions and heard back from ALL OF THEM after not receiving and call backs or follow ups from any of my hundreds of old resume submissions. Im now happy and in my target industry thanks to the expertise of this group!Thanks again, VMS!!

Thank you VMS for helping me with my recent job search.My resume was severely out-of-date, along with my LinkedIn profile. Pierre worked diligently with me to draw out my career highlights and present them in a professional light. His laid-back style kept me on-track as I described my daily activities, which he was then able to put into concise statements of accomplishment that truly represent the actual value I can bring to an employer.In fact, the very first resume/cover letter I sent out in the new format landed me an interview with a Fortune 500 firm that likely would not have even given me a second glance had I sent them my more traditional CV. And Joels help with LinkedIn has been invaluable.I highly recommend Vertical Media Solutions to those needing help presenting themselves to prospective employers in the most positive light!
