Your Edge for Success YES

would definitely recommend YES, with a caveat that people with complicated, technical backgrounds not expect to submit the resume the day it is delivered.
It was a risk for me to pay for her company’s services, especially after I already paid a lot of money to another expert who did a poor job. I took the risk because I was tired of applying for jobs I was qualified for and not making it through the cert process, and I am glad that I did take the chance.
I was concerned from the start that the staff would not be able to understand my very specialized experience well enough to craft the resume to address the questions in the occupational questionnaire but was reassured by Rita that YES staff worked with technical clients all the time and could handle it. YES agreed to provide my resume in less than a week, for a rush fee. I did not receive the first draft until a few hours before the midnight closing deadline and technical information important for the job was missing. I think the draft was drafted by someone else, but when I was not happy, Katherine got on the phone and worked with me until late at night, to produce a satisfactory resume. She also worked with me for 30 days afterwards to continue refining the resume to my satisfaction.
I made it through the cert process for the first time (albeit with a different agency) and I will use Katherine’s services again. I will also know how to better shape the resume myself using what I learned. I also like that the company changed its policies so that rush jobs are no longer accepted unless the client will have a day on the back end to get editing done.

«I received a federal resume, regular resume, and a LinkedIn profile from YES. I was very satisfied with documents, and they have been helpful in job search. The federal resume was great and has a lot of detail. I’ve had an interview already with an agency. I really liked the private resume as well; I’ve received quite a few calls from recruiters around the country. I’m getting a lot good feedback. I want to say thank you to Katherine and her team, as they were very patient with my busy schedule. I definitely recommend them to anyone who’s looking for a job.»

I got my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile done through YES writing. The documents were great and helped me secure a new job. Katherine and Rita were really prompt in responding to my emails and listened to any revisions I wanted on the drafts. I enjoyed working with them; it was a streamlined process and wasn’t demanding on my end.

Since I needed not only a dusting off of my resume but some serious interview practice (it had been a long time!), I elected to go with the full package. It was worth it. Within days after my mock interview practice with Katherine, I was selected as the top candidate for my preferred position. The interview rocked because I was prepared, confident, collected and conversational, thanks to Katherine. The interviewers also praised my resume, which Katherine and her team made sure was polished to my liking. An excellent experience that I highly recommend.

When I emailed YES, I had already sent in 25 resumes and only gotten one call back. Within a week of having my resume redone I got a call back and was hired by an awesome new company. Since then I’ve use their formula to help better resume and cover letter. Service was fast and on time, definitely a quality company, highly recommend it.

Katherine was great to work with. She was very on point and showed real genuine interest in helping me with my resume and interview skills. She made sure to deliver excellent material on time and help whenever I got stuck during the process. As someone who has an absolutely terrible time writing resumes, it was very nice to work with someone who was not only sympathetic that this is not a skill everyone possesses, but empowering to help me realize more of my potential. I would highly recommend working with Katherine Metres and her very skilled staff.

WOW!
It had been over 10 years since my last resume update and I am thrilled with the results I received in a VERY short period of time from Katherine Metres at Your Edge for Success (YES).
I had two job opportunities – both with submission deadlines in just a few days – and needed a customized resume and cover letter for each job.
Katherine wasn’t fazed by the challenge – and came through on time as promised. She has an excellent system for gathering a lot of information about your skills and experience and then distilling the best of you into a polished, easy-​to-​read resume.
UPSHOT: my revamped resume was super easy to customize for each job opportunity and each cover letter captured the key job requirements in terms of my specific skill sets – PERFECTO!
Is Katherine a highly skilled resume writer whose expertise and experience costs more than other resume service providers? Yes.
Did it cost more to get a Next Business Day Rush? Yes.
Was it worth it? Yes… EVERY PENNY!
So…who should you hire for your resume needs? YES: Your Edge for Success!

I initially decided to contact Katherine and her resume writing team shortly after learning about her impressive background. I sincerely believe that there is no other DC area resume writing services with the expertise and connections that Katherine and her team have.
So I took a somewhat big leap of faith and decided to purchase the Career Rocket Fuel Package to help me transition back into the line of work I was looking for. Indeed, every step of the way Katherine made herself available by phone. It didn’t matter if you called her at 7 am or 9 pm, Katherine was readily available to answer any and all questions or concerns that I had.
The resume, cover letter, and thank you note she presented was almost like a work of art. It was so detailed, eye-​catching, and worded quite eloquently. I couldn’t have asked for a better product, and could not imagine anyone else producing documents half as impressive.
As a bonus, Katherine invited me to several networking functions that I would have never known about if it was not for her. Additionally, her colleague Michael (who is an encyclopedia of great knowledge and advice) set me up with a private meeting with the President of an esteemed federal consulting company geared exactly to the career and position I was hoping to acquire.
In short, working with Katherine and her team was money well spent. No other resume writing services in the DC area are going to have the tools, resources, and esteemed connections that these people have.

I used Your Edge for Success Writing to help develop the format and wording of my resume to land my next executive position. Although they are a premium priced service, Katherine and her team are excellent at what they do! Since I typically only switch jobs every blue moon, I felt their service was worth the money since it included consultation, feedback, and re-​writes. Katherine delivered a well written and personalized resume along with a cover letter which I used when submitting my resume to various potential employers.

I used this service for my MBA and Resume needs. Katherine Metres was awesome to work with on my project. She is great at editing documents. She has great customer service and finished all my projects on time. I definitely recommend her for you document editing needs.

Katherine’s skill and knowledge of the written word has been instrumental in laying the ground work for the concepts in our TeamDau Wellness Weight Release Program. She was wonderfully accommodating to work with and I highly recommend her unbiased input!

Katherine has been coaching me in wellness and professional development for over a year, and I have made fantastic progress in my career and health goals as a result. She is an excellent listener, makes astute observations, and offers practical feedback.
Her strategic approach to creating breakthroughs and overcoming obstacles, combined with her support, is powerful. I highly recommend working with Katherine!

Katherine Metres deserves a medal! The only point that stood me in the way of fulfilling my dreams as an event planner was a drab resume. I had never written one before so I looked up a couple of templates on-​line and went at it. At the end, I thought I had a pretty good piece of work especially since it was my first time. Oh but, then it landed in the hands of Katherine and my resume did a complete 180. It went from drab to a professional piece of work. I will openly admit I am not the best writer so having Katherine’s professional writing skills truly helped me. I sat there stumped on what to say to convey a concept but Katherine was able to come up with an eloquent way to communicate everything– even my less than desirable jobs. She made everything sound amazing! So off my resume went and while I’ve yet to land my dream job, I have had several responses to my resume stating that I sounded impressive. Before while I might have good qualities for a potential employer, Katherine made it actually a reality. I highly recommend Katherine’s writing services to anyone!

Katherine has been the answer to my daughter’s prayers. My prayers too!
My daughter struggled greatly with organization in tasks, completion of assignments and test taking skills until Katherine began to help her. It was Katherine, and not her teachers, that detected suttle processing issues that lead to her diagnosis of a learning diability that was masked by her giftedness. Katherine put the learning wheel in motion and now she is on the right track. Katherine understands the complexity of learning, the steps involved and how to set goals and reach them.
She has helped my daughter feel more confident and be much more successful in her schoolwork.
I obviously can not say enough good things about her– only thank goodness we found you! My best to you in your new business!
