Doostang - Getinterviews.com - Anyone try it?

Hey,

I joined Doostang and received a free resume critique from GetInterviews.com.

They tore part of my resume up, so I was thinking about maybe giving them a shot at writing it. Has anyone had any experience with them? They cost $395 for a Resume + Cover Letter w/ a gurantee of a interview within 30 days. A lot of money, so I want to hear peoples experiences first.

I will post my current resume on here later tonight to see what you all think. I am on the look out for a new job in LA if that matters.

Thanks!

 

$4hundy for an interview?? LOL. Dude have some dignity, that is outrageous...

Also, post your CV. I don't know the website to upload it though but people will provide feedback.

 

I know guys that would cut off fingers and toes for interviews so I can see 4 hundo Wait, guarantee you an interview with what? Just any firm? I can get you an interview at Starbucks with a phone call brah, just PM me

Why don't you just post your resume here for a review? If you want a more formal service, I think Mergers and Inquisitions does resume cleanups that are far cheaper and have gotten good reviews around here.

I'd just post it in the resume section here for free (use Razume to blind it), or use the actual service Patrick mentioned.

When I joined Doostang, I got a free resume review, and none of their critiques were relevant to the investment banking world. They told me the biggest mistake was that I was missing an Objective section (which you shouldn't have, fyi)! That wasn't the only poor advice in the critique, either.

The problem with these services is that they don't get investment banking/trading/PE/HF resumes. The industries that are relevant to this board have different standards and expectations, and unless the service has people with direct experience in the targeted industry, their advice won't be particularly relevant.

People would be better off just using the services offered here as at least you can be certain that the advice is coming from a position of authority and from not someone that thinks a stockbroker's resume is the same as one for private equity.
