Hello,
i download this booklet from their website [url]www.pimpmycareer.org[/url]
Its all about about resume tricks and its pretty cool!
I was wondering if anybody knows about them. I had to be out of the job market for 2 years during a very deep depression and they say they can fill up the huge gap un my resume! They promise to give me a verifiable work history!!!
Is somebody knows about them?
And are they serious, it seems to me that what they offer is what i need! BUT i never heard about them, is is a well kept secret?
Someone tell me about the company, if you use them!
Thanks
Will

Don't know much about these guys, but have one slight reservation: All that hard sell. It looks like it costs money to do this, and there's no shortage of people offering these services.
I'm a writer, and I see regularly on the writing sites jobs being offered to people to rewrite resumes.
Some of this is really cut and paste stuff, and quality is very variable. It's a matter of value for the bucks.
Pimp has four packages, platinum gold silver and bronze, which doesn't mean much in terms of substance although in fairness they have a box for "expectations", which is at least some sort of concession to people's needs.
I'd approach with caution, and find out the story before committing to any outlay. There's a contact phone, which suggests some direct marketing methods.
Just for the record, (in case you weren't already fully aware) testimonials don't mean a damn thing. They're usually written by someone living in a cave in Utah. |
