Top-Tier UXR Resume Help

Final Draft Resumes did an incredible job with my UXR resume. They understood the nuances of the research field, balancing qualitative and quantitative achievements and turned my work history into a compelling narrative. The communication was seamless and the quality of the writing exceeded my expectations. If you’re a researcher looking for a high-quality, professional polish, look no further.

Final draft resume is a mega scam

Final draft resume is a mega scam. He is moderator of subreddit r/resumes and directs traffic from Reddit to his platform. I paid $600+ and got nothing but a ChatGPT formatted resume.

I could have done it myself but I trusted him thinking he is a professional. Not a single technical thing in my resume and I have 10 years of experience in Engineering.

Hi Amy,

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. I take every review seriously, so I wanted to address this directly.

A few clarifications for anyone reading:

This review is marked "unverified" by Trustpilot, which means there's no record of a purchase through our system. I've searched our records going back to 2019 (payment history, email correspondence, consultation schedules) and I can't find any client named Amy Shan or matching these details.

Every client we work with goes through a detailed 90-minute interview call (it's kind of our thing), and our real clients typically mention this in their reviews because it's a memorable part of the process.

We also don't use ChatGPT. Our process is built around that lengthy consultation and understanding your specific career story.

As context: Sure, we moderate r/resumes, a community of 1.2M+ job seekers, and we occasionally see reviews like this after we enforce community rules around self-promotion. I'll let readers draw their own conclusions.

Amy, if you did genuinely use our services and I've somehow missed your records, I sincerely want to make this right. Please email me proof of purchase at akhamis@finaldraftresumes.com and I'll personally handle your concerns.

For anyone considering our services: Our verified reviews reflect real client experiences with specific outcomes (ie., interviews at Meta, dramatic improvements in response rates, job offers).


Thanks,
Alex Khamis

Great Experience and Will Use Again

Fantastic process from start to finish. Very personal intake interview and couldn’t be happier with the end products from Alex. Highly recommend if you are needing to update your resume/cover letter. LinkedIn service was also amazing.

Couldn’t have found them at a better time.

The process couldnt be easier.
Alex was fast, efficient and kind.
I had been out of the working field for over eight years my work experience and all my information was extensive, and I wasn’t sure how much of it was useful.
I’m glad I found alex and final draft resume. Being out of practice, not even knowing what was necessary on a resume any longer. I was in bad shape.
Browsing the Internet one night or I should say very early in the morning I came across a Reddit review of alex and final draft resume.
I’m so glad I did and I definitely recommend anyone having trouble with their resume or even if you just want a better resume they are the ones to call.

Alex is genuinely an amazing person

Alex is genuinely an amazing person, he helped me tremendously even though the thing I needed wasn't on par with what his service would provide(just a professional summary) he offered to do it for me while also providing him with the kind of jobs i'm looking for to tailor it for. I would recommend him without a beat.

Helped me land an interview at Meta

I worked with Final Draft Resumes back in September 2024. Alex wrote a resume for me for a Product Marketing Manager role that I was applying to at Meta.

I ended up getting the interview a week later, so they seem to know what they're doing. Would definitely recommend.

Seems like they just give ChatGPT based recommendations. Why pay for a service when I could just use ChatGPT myself. If you know how to use AI, there’s no point getting their help.

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our goal is to deliver great service to every client, so I take reviews like this seriously.

However, I do want to clarify for visitors that your review is currently listed as “unverified.” On Trustpilot, verified reviews come from customers who have completed a purchase through our website and are automatically marked as such.

I’ve checked our records and have not found any customer with your initials or matching details in the past year. If you did use our services, I want to help make things right—please reach out to us directly at akhamis@finaldraftresumes.com, and I’ll personally look into your concerns.

For everyone considering our services, please know that verified reviews reflect the genuine experiences of real clients. We welcome all authentic feedback and are committed to maintaining transparency and high standards.

Can't recommend them enough. Thank you Alex! Got a job at my dream company.

Alex worked with me and set up a meeting quickly when I needed to start looking for a new job. We had a phone interview where he got all the details from my experiences and skills. The tailored approach was great. I ended up with a professional, high quality resume that I could not have created myself. As soon as I started applying with the new resume I started getting calls to set up interviews. Only 2 weeks after receiving my new resume I got a job offer at my dream company. I cannot recommend Final Draft Resumes enough! I'm so thankful for Alex helping me convey my skills and get my foot in the door at great companies.

After trying to write my own resume…

After trying to write my own resume with a god-awful result, I found Final Draft Resumes through Reddit, then checked them out on LinkedIn and scheduled a call. I had the company do my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. James was a true professional and did a great job interviewing me, then articulating my “career story”. He helped me understand a resume is a marketing document and recognized accomplishments through the interview process I would have overlooked.

The service was worth the investment. You’ll save time hiring Final Draft Resumes, and you’ll get a better result.

You can't read the label from inside the jar

Fantastic experience with James in rewriting my resume as I pivot to an adjacent specialty.

I felt a lot of insecurity about my experience (that it was too disjointed and generally "not good enough"), and being able to hand off the raw material to James to polish into an accurate-and-shiny representation of me was a relief.

Within a couple weeks of finishing the resume, I submitted it to a recruiter and landed an interview with a target employer in the new field I was targeting (without a cover letter, so this was purely down to the resume).

I walked away with an effective resume and LinkedIn profile after working with James, but more importantly, with a renewed sense of confidence in myself, my experience, and my abilities.

If you're hesitating about getting help with your resume, remember that you can't read the label from inside the jar and work with James. (And get the LinkedIn upgrade! INSANE value for the money!)

James was awesome, took the time to talk with me and discuss things. My resume came out great, much better than I could have done on my own for sure! I think this resume is going to get me where I want to be in my career. Thank you!

Great Process - Very Helpful

James guided me through a much-needed deep dive into my work experience. The result was a significantly improved resume that presented the more confusing phases of my career in a clear and compelling way. The quality of his help exceeded what I received from my MBA program (top 10 US).

Finally getting interviews

Since 2016, I've been unemployed 3 times, for a total of 35 months. During those 35 months, I had 2 interviews despite dozens, if not hundreds of applications (legit ones, not spam-applying). Since James updated my resume, I've applied to 9 jobs. I just had a 2nd interview for one of them, and I have another interview in 2 days. So my interview rate went from something like 0.1% to 22% with James' help. Idk why it's been so effective, and I was skeptical initially, but can't argue with results.

Quality Service

I had a great experience working with James. He took the time to thoroughly understand my previous experience and career goals through strategic questions during our phone call and questionnaire. His personalized approach made a big difference in the final product. James was patient and collaborative, revising my resume until I was completely satisfied. If you're looking for a high-quality, professionally written resume, I highly recommend Final Draft Resumes

Superior Professionalism

There were very clear expectations set from the beginning. All deadlines were met. Final Draft Resumes took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly. There were easy to communicate with and the price was very fair.

Update: I spent nearly 7 months trying to find a job on my own with very little success. Once I hired James to re-craft my resume, I began getting interviews a few weeks later. In some cases, I had 3 or 4 interviews in one week from different companies. After about 8 weeks of interviewing, I was a strong candidate for 2 companies and was offered a position by a 3rd company. I accepted the offer! James helped position me so well that I was even offered 15% above the quoted started pay before any negotiations. He is worth every penny and highly recommended.
