Kailey Collins did an excellent job…
Kailey Collins did an excellent job working on my resume. Very attentive and detail oriented. She asked excellent questions and was very patient in getting to a finished product. I would work with her again in a heartbeat.
If you can, ask for John Booth
John booth and his amazing work made my experience with this service better than I expected. I had 6 interviews booked only 1 week after working with him and was able to get a salary 20k higher than my previous based on how John was able to lay out my work history/accomplishments, something o struggled with a lot.
Worth it, imo
Working with Geneva was fantastic. She was able to take my unpolished write-up of accomplishments and turn it into a coherent set of details that better represented me as a worker. While it's hard to know if the updated resume "got me a new job", I at least felt confident throughout my time searching for a new position that my resume wasn't going to be a hindrance.
New Resume and Cover Letter
My experience with Let's Eat, Grandma, couldn't have been better, and I endorse their service wholeheartedly! My assigned writer, Kailey, was prompt, thoughtful, and courteous in all of our interactions. She was able to capture my professional experience from a perspective that would not have been possible had I attempted to create resume and cover letter documents myself.
Resume Wizard 101 is an amazing talent
Resume Wizard 101 is an amazing talent. They helped me with my resume review, optimization of my LinkedIn profile, and interview preparation. I could not have asked for a better company to work with and consistently exceeded expectations every step of the way. Neil is deeply knowledgeable about his ability to help you with his job coaching skills. If you want someone who works hard, advocates for you, and brings a positive outlook, empathy, and compassion to help you succeed. I would highly recommend Neil.
100% reliable and committed to quality
My writer was 100% reliable and committed to agreed timelines. Outside of that he was exceptionally responsive and answered my (probably annoying) one off questions within an hour or less (even outside of business hours which I felt guilty about). He also managed to keep track of all my questions and requests which were spread out across multiple emails. He did not skip even one of them. Ever. Very structured and reliable. Very structured also in version management. He provided a very professional, results driven, high quality and pleasant engagement. Thank you! I look forward to seeing my linkedin views go up and getting in front of human eyes with the new CV (those are the two reasons I chose to request your services).

I was skeptical at first
I was skeptical at first. Spending a sum of money I am quite attached to is a big deal and I want to make sure I am getting a return on my investment. This company did not disappoint. I received an initial resume review and follow up call from Matthew. I found this very reassuring. Then they put Katy on my case and she was amazing. Very professional and asked all the right questions. The finished product, including a LinkedIn refresh, are beyond what I expected.

Game-changer, especially for new executives
My writer helped me take my resume, cover letter, and LI profile to the next level. She was wonderful to work with, responsive, offered suggestions for improvement, and asked great questions to get some hard evidence and results of my work into my resume.
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.

Thoughtful and Considerate
Thoughtful, and considerate staff, quick turnaround, and a writer who both offered recommendations and embraced feedback.
Great Experience, Would Recommend!
I just finished working with LEG to complete my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn rewrite and am so happy with the results. My resume writer, Will Dudley, was great to work with - extremely professional, responsive, and great at coming up with creative ways to best describe my experience. He just completed my LinkedIn rewrite earlier today and I've already gotten a few pings from recruiters, so I feel like that speaks for itself! I've worked with "professional" resume writing services in the past and had absolutely awful experiences, so I was hesitant to use LEG especially because of the high price tag, but I feel like it was 100% worth it and a great experience overall.
Exceptional Service
I had decided to get another version of my resume so that I could expand my potential! Michael B. was once again so incredibly helpful!
He provided the same level of service that I experienced with my first resume - Exceptional!!! His attention to detail, open-ended questions, and active listening were, again, very much appreciated!!
I now have 2 great resumes, all with a BIG thanks to Michael!!
Overpriced, low-impact service if you're a decent writer yourself
It's useful if you have absolutely no experience writing resumes yourself, or are completely lacking time. But it's definitely not worth the price if either of those factors isn't true. My writer used canned phrases and threw them at the top, didn't bother to actually read the resume bullets I had spend weeks putting together for b-school/job applications, and clearly just wanted to be done with the whole thing. This was evident from the initial call where he sounded irritated before I said one word, only to then tell me that actually he didn't have much to change in the bullets themselves (so what was he so annoyed about?). He tried to end that first 20-min call early.
Hire Let’s Eat, Grandma!
The resume writer, Will! He provided exceptional service in reworking my résumé, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. He demonstrated expertise, and a genuine commitment to highlighting my strengths. With his attention to detail, Will delivered documents that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Will for anyone seeking top-notch career documents. Thank you, Will, for your outstanding work!
Thank you, Barb!
Barb was wonderful to work with. She really listened to my experiences and captured it in a way that was truly compelling and influential. Thank you, Barb!
Lola was great
Lola was great! She took her time to learn about my background, as well as my needs, and never made me feel rushed. She delivered the drafts and final documents not only on time but early. She was professional the entire time and made my experience with Let's Eat, Grandma seamless and enjoyable.
Tim Mazur
Tim, my resume writer, was exceedingly professional in all our interactions, and he did an excellent job of updating me on the status of my resume drafts all the way through the process. He listened to my input and initial information dump intently, took excellent notes, suggested meaningful and effective changes, and just generally did his job with aplomb.
Let's Eat Grandma provided me with two expertly crafted resumes to target separate industries and an easy-to-digest guide to improving my LinkedIn profile as well. I would definitely use their services again gladly.
The experience with Lets Eat grandma…
The experience with Lets Eat grandma was excellent. The service provided is clearly arranged for a 2 week turnaround . The writer, Tim, has excellent active listening skills, gave salient input on re-formatting on LinkedIn and made me look more professional altogether. Thank you Tim, for your professional help!
Confidence Gained
I appreciated the time and attention taken to understand my current employment, barriers, and future goals. The interview process, candor, and feedback improved my overall confidence that it is time for me to transition to my next opportunity.
