I went into this with hesitancy but kept hearing they do a nice job with high tuning of resumes. The site ensured one would increase job interview increases, but I saw no difference between my previous resume and Doostang resume.
This company sends you a canned, unsolicited "critique" of your resume, sending their pitch to the email address you used to access a job board. Do not buy it (literally)!
In their amateurish assessment of my resume, they didn't even get my location correct, and that information appeared at the top of the first page of the document.
Be smart. Do yourself a favor and don't fall for this scam.
I had to "wait for the best writer" for my type of position. If the BEST writer answers a question as to why they changed something and worded it differently with "because that's the way I usually do it"... imagine someone "not as good". My original resume has actually gotten more traction... the one they wrote is a joke and waste of time.
Any positive reviews are planted by the company. If this company were legit, the number they provide to the credit card companies would not be a non working number. Get your credit card, then make it impossible to get in touch with them to cancel. All members should start contesting their credit card charge e every month.
I have contacted my attorney and the BBB. This is a scam and unethical business practices by preying on people who are working hard to better themselves and happen to get drawn in with words like "free" and "professional" which is just another tactic to take your money without providing a legitimate service. Please do your research before getting sucked into paying $99 for absolutely nothing. And then they send you to a collection agency when you realize it was a scam. The local Seattle FBI office is aware and looking into the matter as this crosses state lines and thus becomes federal jurisdiction just like the US mail. Federal law defines computer fraud as the use of a computer to create a dishonest misrepresentation of fact as an attempt to induce another to do or refrain from doing something which causes loss.
I applied for a job that fits my resume. After applying, I recieved an email that said the job posting was closed. Flag 1, agencies and job posting sites do not do this. Posts expire when the employer or agency entering them post expiry dates to them, and posts are removed on that day. Flag 2, recieved email about free resume check without signing up and asking for it. Flag 3, Sebastian King replied with feedback on my resume about not passing 30 second reading rule. You can take the comments and adjust but it's not worth buying. This site is designed to sell this service and doesn't post real jobs. Scam. I've used the same resume to get the right jobs that fit what I'm looking for and was in co-op where they train you on writing resumes. The site lures you in with fake job postings. Red flag.
Who pays to view jobs these days! There are so many websites that do it for free. The business doesn't even make sense. Why pay to view jobs when you can do it on other websites? It is as if they are giving away jobs which is not the case.
Can't understand who would pay to view jobs at this day and age.
This company does not provide you the services they advertise for. I purchased the Resume Service and all they did was reformat my original one. When you try to reach out to someone for the "promised" CONVERSATION they only communicate by email. How can anyone really get to know you by email? It was awful. I would not recommend this service to anyone. If the company would only refund me my money I would be happy!
I had my cousins who work in recruitment create my resume initially. After moving from NYC to Texas I took some time off and when I decided to get back in the job market I used that resume I had in hand. Anyways long story short I ended up in a contract job for a month or so, after that was done I decided to move forward with Doostang. In a matter of 2 days I had a more than professional resume done by Sarah! She did such an amazing job and was worth the money I paid.
I applied to a job with my resume I initially had, the company viewed the resume and there was no feedback. 2 days after I applied to the same job with the new resume from Doostang and immediately got the call back for an interview, the next day I got an offer!
I definitely recommend this to anyone that is looking for a job or even wants to update their resume. I am actually thinking of going forward soon and getting my LinkedIn updated by Doostang as well!
Nicole was assigned to be my writer and she was awesome. She really paid attention to my requests and needs for my resume. And the best part is she finished my resume before the expected date. The resume was so stinking good that I only wanted very minor changes. So I was able to start applying to jobs as soon as two days from the time I submitted my request. And within the same week I was called for 2 interviews. This company really delivers on what it promises.
My resume writer, Nicole, did a great job at integrating multiple career paths into my resume and turned my resume into an active one from a passive one. The staff were professional, courteous, and timely in their responses.
I was very excited when I received my new resume. The formatting was beautiful and the wording was professional and added a bit of flair to my resume. It was worth every penny that I spent. I am extremely happy with my finished product.

Barri S. Took my outdated and convoluted resume, took my comments about my career goals, abilities, and the priorities I wanted to get across in my resume, and nailed it on the first pass.
After re-writing, re-formatting, and perfecting my resume, I began to use it immediately... and I immediately I began to receive many more responses from applications I submitted with the new resume and cover letter for phone, Skype, and sit-down interviews.
My LinkedIn profile went from barely functional to excellent overnight as well.
Excellent Value for the cost! I recommend to anyone weighing this decision to go ahead and pay a Pro to re-write their resume!
One of the lower level scams. Keep paying or they will cancel what little progress has been made. Hide company names, secret information and an immediate desire for credit card numbers. If you will notice most all of the "management team" are essentially promoters. Run...
Applied to many jobs on this website and it seemed my resume went into the same internet black hole as other free sites... but they seem to make a lot of $$ from anyone willing to sign up based on the monthly fees charged!
In one word: "transformative." I got an immediate lift in qualified contacts volume once I switched to the resume edited by Doostang. They seem to understand how recruiters search for resumes online (I suspect it's similar to SEO strategies). And perhaps the true value of this type of service is to have a qualified and unbiased editor to help you see your career with fresh eyes. Last, not least, Doostang has a very responsive support service. I absolutely recommend it.
A fantastic value! I utilized their resume and cover letter writing services. They delivered exactly as advertised. Not only was the work completed on time, but the quality was impressive. In addition to enhancing the overall look, feel and presentation of my resume, they were able to format the content in a manner that allows me to quickly and easily customize for any potential job application. Lastly, they made several insightful and meaningful revision suggestions that were overlooked by my previous resume writing service. Highly recommend!
I find it interesting that people either love or hate this service. Perhaps it depends on the person who reviews your resume. I personally got awesome, detailed feedback which has not only improved my resume tenfold, it's changed the way I present myself overall.
I am extremely pleased with my resume and cover letter now. They look professional, with a strong presence and power. Which was what I was missing all this time. I even received the second and basically final version, days before the committed deadline. Sebastian did a great job identifying Jerry, who is an excellent writer for me. I recommend them anytime. I say money well spent. If with this I can't nail an interview or a job, then the problem is ME:)
Good luck you all.
Answer: I don't know. I did not have a subscription, I only paid for a "service". Perhaps you can reach out to them... oh wait, they never talk to their clients. I wish you good luck with that. Maybe your bank can get involved...
