Thanks Lane for being there! Julie. Pros: thumbs up! Cons: she is busy but easy to contact through eMail more

Lane ended up both rewriting/tweaking and reformating my resume, and writing a cover letter for me. more

Lane is absolutely amazing in what she does! She has done a couple of resume for me and I have recommended everyone I could to her, especially being a recent college grad. A funny story was that some friends of mine we were all going to the mall and we were talking about life after college and finding a career. Come to find out my old roommate told one of her friends how I had gotten my resume professionally done. So this girl went and found Lane and had her put together her boyfriends resume! How ironic!

I hadn't done a resume since 1987. Yikes! I had a 13 year career in a medical clinic and wore many hats. Since 2000, I have been in a male dominated construction industry. I was applying for a position in my organization that would combine my trade knowledge with my administration background. I would be the first woman to hold a position within the organization. Lane helped me organize my skill set and really put my best foot forward. Her use of the english language was amazing. My first day on the job will be Monday. I am still in shock. I couldn't have done it without her. If I ever need help with a resume in the future, I will call Lane. more

Having been out of the job market for over 10 years, a few years back I sought Lane's advise regarding my old resume. She gave me a quick and accurate assessment of what my resume needs. Then this year faced with some personal challenges I desperately went back to her again for advise this time regarding re-entering the job market and she amazingly remembered many things about me from before, what an incredible memory! She gave me a very realistic and clear view of the current job market and my job prospects, and what I need to do to become marketable considering my large employment gap. Her vast knowledge and candidness helped calm my anxieties of all the unknowns. She is very professional, highly knowledgeable of the local as well as national job market, and has the natural ability to extract key information from all the data she gathers from me to make an effective and efficient assessment of where I am at . Thanks to Lane I have clear educational goals to update and broaden my skillset. Her support has given me the confidence necessary to prepare myself for re-entering the job market in the near future. Lane is truly a master at what she does ! She is a brilliant and an amazing writer !! I have no hesitation recommending her to others. In fact, I've been telling all my friends about her because she is so good !!! I look forward to meeting with her again so she can do her magic in updating and polishing my resume !! Thanks Lane !! more

I have worked with Lane for more than 10 years. She has assisted my career both in moving companies and moving up in companies (promotions). Her great listening skills, probing questions, and incredible writting skills presented my resume in a way that fully portrayed me. more

I selected Lane to redo my existing lame resume after talking to several other firms on the phone. It was great to actually talk to the person that was going to do the writing when I first called. She answered all of my questions without being evasive (what I experienced at a couple of the other firms I called). Her knowledge of the local job market has also been very helpful. Pros: Very professional and easy to work with more

I was skeptical about using Career Resume Service until I had a chance to talk to Lane and voice my reservations. She was professional and knowledgeable enough to answer my questions and allay my misgivings. I was impressed with her wide range of knowledge in different career fields. As a result, I got more than I expected with a finished resume that is outstanding. I'd recommend her and her work to anyone needing a resume. more

As I am getting close to getting out of the Army, I needed a resume. Lane came highly recommended by a friend of mine, and after my experience with her I can see why. Lane was very professional, obviously has extensive experience writing and editing resumes, and exhibits outstanding attention to detail. Upon emailing my resume to another friend, he responded with ""...that is bar-none the best resume I have ever seen."" and ""...I have to say, I don't think this resume could look much better"". I am very optimistic about my career opportunities, and with Lane's support I feel considerably more confident as I enter into the private sector. I have already recommended Lane to friends and I will continue to do so. Pros: Prefessional, Fast, Inovative more

I called after finding the website for Career Resume Service. Lane was professional, helpful, and listened to my needs for a better resume. After sending her my draft, we spoke about improvements, she gave me a very fair price, and in a few days I had my new resume in hand. more

My name is Ali and I'm an IT preofessional with more than 15 years of technical aend project managemelnt experience. Lane did a great job in writing my resume, and I now know why I didn't receive any calls using my previous resume. I'm very happy and satisfied in the great job Lane did! I felt that Lane wanted to help my wife and I getting great jobs. Lane also wrote my wife's resume and I can't describe my wife's expression when seeing her new resume. Another secret, Lane doesn't know yet that my wife and I are going to ask her to write our cover letters, shhhh Pros: Lane is very geniune and very, very smart Cons: N/A more

Lane was recommended to me as a brilliant writer of outstanding resumes. I had been trying to rewrite my tired, outdated resume for more than a month, but it just wasn't working for me. During our first phone conversation, she patiently answered all my questions and seemed to understand exactly what I needed. I knew I was in expert hands. more

This gal may be good at what she does - I liked her website (savvy but not corporate, tongue-in-cheek but not flip) & the reviews here - but I found her to be abrupt & ungracious over the phone. She hung up on me, in fact. It was beyond weird. She didn?t sound happy to be talking to me from the moment she answered, but what took the conversation into the realm of the surreal was a question about price. I asked for a ballpark and she bristled. I understand project-based pricing (it?s exactly what I do for a living, for a consulting firm). But apparently, she doesn't understand that you can explain the ambiguities without sounding evasive, defensive or unprofessional. You just develop a little script. (Career Pricing Services dot com! ""Customers are very busy. If your sales pitch isn't user friendly, you're gone."") You say: ""Well, the price depends on the scope of the particular project (i.e., resume updates require less data gathering upfront than a total revamp) and the bells and whistles you ultimately choose (for example, we can create a classy no frills two-page resume or put together a complete presentation package with business cards, custom graphics, and so forth.) The price tends to range from X to X, but for now, just send me what you've got. I'll take a look, we can chat for another 10 minutes or so, and then I should be able to give you a better sense of the options."" Great! Done! Instead, I got ""Every project is different, I can't give you a range,"" and then when I gently pushed, she said ""Okay, I'm looking at two resumes right now, one is $50 and one is $420"" and then balked when I asked what kinds of things impact the range. When I finally said, ""You know, I have to tell you, I really love your website, but now I feel kind of funny about this,"" she said, ""I feel funny too, I have to go"" - and hung up. (Can you imagine if your mechanic responded like this every time you called for an estimate?!) Life's too short. Taking my business elsewhere... more

Submitted an essay and got one of the most thoughtful, intelligent, creative, well-edited pieces I've ever received. Amazing attention to detail and a pleasure to work with. I recommend these services with no hesitation. Pros: Quick turn-around, flexible with my schedule. Cons: None. more

Career resume service is an excellent option for restructuring and/ or revamping your resume. Lane is extremely hip to the business resume and cover letter formats. She knows the companies in Portland and what they tend to look for in job applicants. I would encourage anyone from the top executive at a corporation to a new college graduate to use her service. There is no excuse for a less than perfect cover letter/resume these days. The competition out there is fierce and I would highly recommend Lane and her service in helping you get the job that you want. It's worth every cent. more
