I’ve been working with Jillian and her team for years. Jillian never ceases to amaze me with what she gathers from our conversations and can turn into true actionable things for my resume. What I appreciate the most is the quick turnaround and the ability to update my resume without having to rewrite the entire thing. As long as I need resume services I will use Jillian and the Red Pen Wench team because they are truly excellent!!!

I honestly cannot recommend Jillian and Red Pen Wench highly enough. Before working with her, I knew I had strong experience, but my resume and LinkedIn just were not telling the story effectively. As soon as I started using the materials Jillian created and updated my LinkedIn to align with them, the difference was immediate and honestly kind of shocking. The response rate I started receiving completely changed. I began getting recruiter outreach consistently, and for cold applications where I had no previous connection to the organization - I was getting some type of interest or response on well over 50% of the jobs I applied for. And to put that into perspective, the average response rate for most job seekers right now is often somewhere in the low single digits. So the difference was massive. What Jillian does so well is not just “resume writing.” She understands positioning. She understands strategy. She knows how to translate your experience into a narrative that immediately communicates value and leadership. Because of her work, I’ve had opportunities to interview with organizations and executive leaders I’m genuinely excited about, and I can say with complete confidence that there was a direct correlation between the quality of her work and the results I started seeing. If you’re considering working with her - do it!! Make the investment in yourself! It was absolutely one of the best investments I made in my career search. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I also had the opportunity to work with Dana on interview coaching, and honestly, the impact was incredible. That work completely changed the confidence and clarity I now bring into interviews, especially around how to communicate my career narrative, position my experience strategically, and present myself at an executive level. It wasn’t just about practicing answers; it fundamentally reframed how I think about interviewing altogether. Dana helped me better understand how to connect my experience, leadership style, and accomplishments into a cohesive story that feels authentic while also clearly communicating value. As a result, I now walk into interviews feeling significantly more confident, focused, and prepared. Combined with the resume and LinkedIn work, the entire experience dramatically elevated not just my materials, but the way I present myself professionally. The difference in both my confidence and the response I’ve received from organizations and recruiters has been remarkable.

Red Pen Wench has been incredibly helpful to me at two major points in my career. Most recently, I was pivoting to a new career while in grad school. I needed a lot of help translating my skills from the past decade to make me desirable in a new role. Over a video call, Jill spent time talking with me about my background and my new industry. She took time to understand the skills and accomplishments I had discussed, reflecting back what she had heard to make sure she knew how to adapt that for my next role. She also suggested a new design to accommodate some new sections and to be more attractive to hiring teams, and within a few days she had helped me with a clear, focused resume and suggestions. Jill also made sure to let me know why she made certain decisions, based on her expertise, while emphasizing places where I should feel free to make it my own. She helped make it easier for me to find my own voice that would appeal to hiring teams, not just buzzwords that AI would give me. The whole process was painless, fast, collaborative, and supportive. Shortly after, I received 6 interviews using my new resume, and I landed a desirable role in my new industry that I am very happy with so far. I am impressed by Red Pen Wench’s commitment to understanding all industries and individualizing the support to each client.

A few years ago, after nearly 25 years with the same company, I was unexpectedly impacted by a reduction in force. I always thought I’d retire there, so finding myself back in the job market was overwhelming. Even though I had reviewed hundreds of resumes throughout my career, I didn’t even have an updated one of my own—and I had NO idea where to begin. That’s when Red Pen Wench’s Job Seeker’s Treasure Chest became a lifesaver. AI and ATS weren’t even a thing the last time I looked for a job, and this tool helped bring my resume into the 21st century. The templates were easy to use, the LinkedIn branding advice was spot-on, and the interviewing tips helped me feel confident again. If you—or someone you know—are job hunting, starting over, or just need a refresh, this treasure chest is truly worth checking out.

Job hunting in an era where you have to worry about AI and ATS (when the last time you applied for jobs the thing you needed to be worried about was the thickness of your resume printer paper), the Jobseekers Treasure Chest got me up to speed on what modern job hunting is, what to focus on and where and how to go looking and stay organized. Used the tips and tricks — even used the Word template for my resume, which made my designer heart weep a bit. But it did work, got the gig!

After my initial meeting with Linda, I felt so valuable, like I had an even better understanding of my career narrative and how to market myself. I now feel more empowered on the job market and have already gotten positive feedback in interviews regarding my resume. Such a worthwhile investment--I can't express my gratitude enough!

I couldn't have had a better experience. Jillian was responsive, reassuring (first time I've ever used a service for my resume and LinkedIn profile), and matched me with the perfect writer, Damon. Damon was meticulous, timely (even ahead of timely), and so easy to work with. Listening and taking every priority, concern and question of mine into consideration, he spun my resume and profile into gold. I am so pleased and proud of the result. I feel so much more confident about putting myself out there and going for the jobs I really want. If I need any help with my resume, profile or anything career-related in the future, I will look no further than Red Pen Wench. Thank you, Jillian and Damon!

I worked with Dana and Linda on my cover letter and resume. They were easy to work with and very insightful. They have a really good grasp on how to represent what you are looking for in your resume and cover letter. The conversations were added value because they provided a different perspective on how to evaluate yourself and your skills. The interview coaching was also empowering. The process really prepares and enhances your key talking points by giving a better view of what to expect through an interview process. The added tips on how to approach a zoom vs in person interview were also beneficial. I appreciate their attention to detail and the responsiveness. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a review of their current resume, cover letter and interview preperation.

I have only amazing things to say about my experience working with Jillian. I have worked with her countless (30+) times over the years. Her expertise in writing is very versatile, as she has helped me with brainstorming, editing, and writing essays for a wide variety of applications. Most recently we have worked together on my primary and secondary essays for applying to Medical School. She has great judgement and has been very helpful in getting me to write professionally and concisely. When working with Jillian I feel much more comfortable with the quality of the essays I am writing, and it has increased the rate in which I have been able to finish and submit applications exponentially. Lastly, Jillian is incredibly nice, personable, and beyond flexible with scheduling. She makes herself available to even the craziest of work schedules! 100% recommend!

Jillian is an academic life saver! She’s helped me with resumes, applications, and any type of writing assignment I was stuck on. I typically stress and struggle with writing because I have a lot of trouble organizing my ideas and staying on track, and as a result often lose motivation. Jillian is like an antidote for my disorganized thoughts. She helps me figure out what I want to say and how I want to say it in a way that feels almost effortless and even fun! I find myself finishing assignments that used to take me weeks to complete in just 2-3 sessions with Jillian. For anyone struggling with writing I highly recommend Jillian as she is not only smart and very helpful, but she is also extremely warm, patient, and up-lifting.

Jillian’s communication was perfect during the process, and Dena’s work on my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn was wonderful. She really listened to what I was looking for and my concerns about whether some things were better or worse to have on a resume and LinkedIn, and was also flexible on time and communication. Dena did the research to get the correct industry terminology and standard things people in it tend to highlight. This was a very collaborative process, but still done quickly and efficiently. This was my first experience paying for resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn update, so was a little worried at first if it would be worth it. But it definitely was. Very happy with the whole experience :)

She spent the time with me understanding where I was at in my career and where I wanted to elevate to and she made sure my materials reflected exactly that. She asked great questions, re-worked and transformed my resume in a way I would have never been able to do. She was also prompt about turning it around in a very timely fashion. This team can really do wonders for you if you're looking to get to that next level in your career or at least looking to update it. They were excellent to work with!

Would highly recommend this service to anyone seeking new work opportunities. Job hunting is full of hurdles including updating your resume. The team at RPW can help you this and other aspects of your professional presentation. I worked with Dena and the process was very collaborative and enjoyable. Dena asked me about my experience, what I was looking for, and really tried to understand what I was looking for and how to best showcase my skills and experience. Dena was easy to communicate with and easily available. The finished product was very impressive and something that was well worth the cost!

It's been about a year and a half since I last worked with Jillian and wrote my previous review, below. I've learned more about the industry I'm in now and wanted to update my resume and cover letter. Jillian worked with me to meet a fast-approaching deadline, and despite the speed, her quality of work was EXCEPTIONAL, as usual. I sent her about 5 pages of random blurbs about things I wanted to add. She somehow made sense all my random blurbs, prioritized the most important points, edited out the things that weren't relevant, and avoided any repetition or redundancy. Then, she put it all together in the most eloquent way, replacing any old resume bullets or cover letter paragraphs that were no longer important. She combined the best, most important/relevant parts of my old material with the new information seamlessly for a complete resume and cover letter makeover. I couldn't be happier. Until next time Jillian! Jillian is a miracle worker. I hired her, per a recommendation, to do my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn for 2 entirely separate careers. My resume "intake form" must have been about 7-10 pages long- a random stream of consciousness... everything from my previous work experience, what I thought my new career would like, stuff that mattered, stuff that didn't... Jillian combed through all that mess, plucked out the most relevant strengths and formulated the most beautifully articulate sentences out of them. It is as if she could read my messy mind and spit it out as a masterpiece! She is extremely bright, detail-oriented, articulate, and experienced. When I asked her opinion, she gave me thoughtful answers that were spot on- she's an expert, yet gentle and supportive in her suggestions. I am extremely high maintenance with a ton of requests- the fact Jillian worked with me seemingly effortlessly really says something about her customer service. I would recommend her to anyone in need of resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn. THANK YOU JILLIAN!!

Jillian was absolutely incredible! Her services and support transformed my resume and cover letter and I could not be more grateful. She took the time to really get to know me, my past experiences and my future goals and told a story about my work and career I didn't even know I could articulate. Super appreciative of her professional approach, quick response time and overall final product. I feel confident in my career search materials and am energized to explore my next opportunity because I am so grounded in Jillian's explanation of my experiences. Could not recommend more!!

I had the pleasure of working with Suzanne who helped me to design the perfect resume and cover letter. I had never used a service like this and was a bit skeptical, but Suzanne took the time to learn about me and what I did, which I think really came through in the cover letter. It was spot on while still encapsulating me and what I'm good at. I've been with the same company for 10 years and really think that the resume and cover letter that Suzanne crafted is going to help me take the next step forward in my career

I have taken way too long to write this review. I worked with Mori at RPW and the experience was great! She listened to me and made suggestions and recommendations to ensure that I had a strong resume. I was happy with my resume going in and I was even happier with her suggestions and formatting. When possible, I will take advantage of the cover letter service. I highly recommend their services.

Jillian at Red Pen Wench is heaven sent! Being a stay at home mom for the past several years, the thought of re-entering the workforce had left me very reluctant and timid. However, Jillian put my mind at ease immediately. She took my dated résumé and livened it up so eloquently. I not only feel confident but I am more eager than ever to start sending it out ASAP! Jillian is professional, prompt, and has incredible communication. I would go as far as saying that she could potentially be a mind reader considering she was able to take what I had envisioned for my résumé and turn it into a reality. Thank you so much, Jillian. You have given this Mom more confidence than I could ever explain!

I cannot recommend Red Pen Wench enough. I was lucky enough to get the Red Pen Wench herself and she was extremely attentive and took time to schedule a call to understand every detail of the resume. She asks all the right questions and works with you to make sure you are completely satisfied. Her patience and kindness come through not only in conversation but in her work as well. She genuinely wants you the best for you and for you to succeed. This is why this is without a doubt the best choice for you when you are working on your resume or starting your college application. 5 Stars Always!!!

After not updating my resume for so long, my former boss recommended Red Pen Wench to help me. Mori Einsidler was able to reconstruct my resume to make it look more professional and marketable. Mori was a dream to work with as well. Very in tune with all that you are saying and do. Highly recommend them.

I can not recommend Jillian enough! She is truly a miracle worker. Her energy is infectious and she brings so much expertise to each session. I worked with Jillian over the course of about four months preparing different personal statements, essays, and resume help and did not have one bad experience. She made me a more confident writer and put my ideas and experiences into concise thoughts on paper. In the end it all paid off as I got accepted to my dream grad school, Columbia University. I couldn't of done it without Jillians help and guidance and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future. I cant say enough positive things about my experience with Red Pen Wench!

I have used the services of Jillian and RedPen Wench countless times and am amazed with every product I get back. This time, Jill helped me edit my master’s thesis. She returned a 30-page document to me in 72 hours! I am a horrible typist and my brain moves faster than my fingers, with Jill’s help I’m confident that I am submitting my best work.

At first, I was apprehensive to pay for someone to help me with my resume. But after the first round of revisions, boy was I glad I did so! It was a transformation that made a significant difference not only in the appearance of my experience, but how the information was translated to whomever will be reviewing my resume. I give this service five stars, and I highly recommend! One of the best parts was the customer service. Red Pen Wench responded to me right away and set up a phone call where we talked about my experience and my goals. That conversation directly affected how my previous resume (two pages of run on sentences, and rambling across the board experience) became a well laid out, clear, and eye catching one page resume. Then, after I reviewed the revisions and was ready for the second round of revisions, they followed up with me just as fast as the first round, and now I’m ready to pass my resume along with confidence. The investment in this service is going to pay its self back twenty fold in no time. Clearly, I’m excited, but I wanted to let others know — or maybe I shouldn’t because you’ll then be my competition, armed with a five star resume yourself ;)) Good luck and thank you!

As I was about to retire from one career and explore the job market, I knew I would need a professional resume. I sought the assistance of Red Pen Wench and could not be more pleased. The result was an aesthetically pleasing resume that speaks to who I am and what I have to offer. Furthermore, I was able to land the first job I applied for and am thrilled to be starting a second career. Thanks Red Pen Wench!

Working w/ the Red Pen Wench was a very pleasant experience and fantastic investment. It took me a year to get a new position, but her work on my resume certainly made me stand out amongst a large group of applicants (my boss advised as much;). If you're in a 'rut' & afraid that you'll never get the interview- seek out the Red Pen Wench- you'll be glad you did!!
