Disappointed by the final product and professionalism.
I contacted LGE in late January to inquire about their resume and LinkedIn optimization services as I was looking to transition to a new job. Having heard positive reviews about LGE's services on the Career Warrior podcast, I had high expectations. I believed that their work would enhance my visibility on LinkedIn and result in more interview opportunities. However, upon sharing the final products with my peers, including recruiters in my field, the feedback was not as positive as I had hoped. They felt that the resume made me appear incompetent, overqualified, and uninteresting. Similar concerns were raised about my LinkedIn profile, with some describing it as "keyword-stuffed." I shared this feedback with LGE's COO, Matthew Villanueva, and while he believed the resume was good, he expressed concerns about my LinkedIn profile. He did provide some recommendations and I agreed to follow up with him the next week. During our follow-up conversation, I presented data showing that the resume and LinkedIn profile were performing poorly, with metrics declining. While I understand that resumes and LinkedIn optimizations do not guarantee interviews, I had expected to see some improvement. However, it was disheartening to find that my old resume was outperforming the one created by LGE. Instead of addressing the issues, Matthew seemed disinterested. He indicated that a rewrite of the resume and LinkedIn profile was not possible and offered a 50% refund instead of a full refund. I find it disappointing that despite the data and market feedback suggesting that the resume was not effective, LGE stood by their work. This experience has led me to question the professionalism and integrity of the services provided, especially in contrast to the positive image they portray on their podcasts and other media platforms. It appears that their focus may be more on financial gain and capitalizing on desperate job seekers rather than delivering a high-quality product for a steep price. For those reasons, and many more, I cannot recommend Let's Eat Grandma to anyone. Save your money.
