Brooklyn Resume Studio

After careful research I discovered Dana at BRS a few months ago and am so glad that I did! From start-​to-​finish, Dana provided me with thorough and consistent feedback and produced a resume package I was most impressed with. I’ve received great feedback and a number of increased hits on my Linkedin profile as well. I would highly recommend Dana!

Dana is an absolute pleasure to work with… Being a stay at home mom for 16 years, it was time to dust off my resume and get my groove back, Dana certainly was able to help me get back into action again… From the cover letter, resume and also Linkdin profile, Dana brought my professional back to a level that I would never have been able to.
I so appreciate finding Dana and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to invest in the resume process.
Thank You Dana

Dana was wonderful to work with, and communicative throughout the process. I would definitely recommend her to friends and family.

I stumbled upon BRS through Pinterest and am very happy with the results. I was hesitant to pay for the all inclusive package, but the cost was worth the investment in my career. I had tried a job search with my own professional documents and was not successful.
Dana was a pleasure to work with and from one phone call was able to translate my background, strengths and career aspirations into a phenomenal biography (long, medium and short), a cover letter, resume and linked in profile.
I was pleased with the content and aesthetic of the deliverables and the timely manner of delivery. I was also grateful for the offer once the work was completed to revise if I had not gotten any response within a few weeks from employers. This shows her confidence in her work obviously.
Since I’ve revamped my documents, I’ve gotten a significant increase in activity on LinkedIn as well as a couple of interviews for roles that are a great fit. No offers yet– but the rest is up to me.
I definitely recommend BRS IF you are willing and able to invest financially.

Dana was fantastic! She responded quickly to my emails and her phone consultation was direct yet also personable — she asked the right questions about my career and was also easy to talk to. The work she did for my CV and cover letter was fantastic. She took a 9 page disorganized CV to an easily digestible 6 pages with fantastic formatting. She worked with several revisions of my CV and cover letter with ease. Would highly recommend!

First and foremost, working with Dana is a pleasure. She is always timely in her responses and has a well established project plan to help guide you through the process. I am an experienced sales manager in the software industry and had not updated my resume in years. Not only was it out of date, it was also very light in content. After a quick call with Dana explaining my vision for the update we were off an running. She took my ideas and help to create what i can only call a perfectly constructed resume. In addition to working with me on my resume she also updated my LinkedIn profile. Again, she did a great job of taking my vision and adding in her professional narrative. I couldn’t be happier with the process overall. I would highly recommend Dana and her services to anyone in my professional network.

I’m a 15-​year creative services veteran, and I hired Dana to write a resume that speaks our lingo and engages recruiters. After our phone interview I was confident that Dana could deliver, and she did.
I have received numerous compliments on the legibility and straight-​forwardness of my resume. I proudly recommend her.
Incase you aren’t sold; purchase the email scripts PDF, and sign up for the Brooklyn Resume Writers newsletter. Both contain valuable tips and information. Dana and BRS seem to hit on all the right points for getting notice, and properly corresponding with prospective employers.
5 stars! Keep up the good work.

After a lot of research I ended up hiring Dana to help me with my resume, as I had been living abroad for many years I needed help changing my resume for the NYC job market and figured hiring a local would be my best bet. Our session seemed rushed which was a red flag, but fast forward a few months, I sat in front of a head hunter who told me it was one of the worst resumes she’d ever seen! She said there was no way I’d be able to lock down an interview with such a long, unfocussed resume. What a total waste, I ended up using a women’s network group to completely redo my resume which opened up doors left, right, and center. Save your $ 350 and find someone else to help you with your resume– pay a current or ex-​recruiter!

My experience is closer to Brian and Suzanne’s. Having over 14 years experience in my career field, I am looking explore other avenues. I had Dana rewrite my resume and tailor it toward the more corporate aspects of my industry in May. After submitting to 30+ postings on Linked In, Monster, and Glass Door I have a total of one response from a recruiter and a scam marketing company response. Note, I also bought a cover letter from her as well.
On a recent response to a job posting an offer from Doostang popped up for a free resume critique. It was fairly critical of Dana’s rewrite so I forwarded the review to Dana to discuss whether the points were valid. This was on Sept 10^th and after an initial response of «yes I will read and contact you», I have not heard back from Dana.
I understand that Dana has no obligation to respond or to defend her work, but I thought there would be a courtesy to read a review of her work from a competitor and to possibly suggest ways in which I may experience more success using her resume. I also understand that any resume writing service will be critical of any resume’s done by a competitor.
I’m happy for those who experienced success through Dana’s work, and after reading the reviews it seems like more of the positive reviews are coming from people new to the work force and not from people with 10+ years of experience in their field.
Good Luck

Dana is truly superb. She’s incredibly responsive and delivers a perfect work product and always within the timeline that has been established. I worked with Dana for some Wordpress «stuff» and I can honestly say that if I ever needed my resume reviewed and reworked, Dana is the first person to whom I would turn. I would recommend her without any reservations at all.

I really appreciate the personal service that Brooklyn Resume Studio provided. After our meeting and a couple rewrites, I feel a lot more on solid ground.
–Great proffesional service: 2 resumes & linked profile
–Excellent Turnaround
–Great reviews of new resume
Would I utilze Brooklyn Resume Studio again?
Yes! Certainly!

I started working with Dana a few years ago when I found her resume and cover letter writing services online, however I quickly came to realize that what she has to offer goes beyond simply editing and enhancing your written statement of skills. She has been a mentor over the years, and always there to coach me through each professional transition. Dana helped me realize that my skills are not just tools that I use to get through a work day, but rather a personal brand of professional assets that help shape my career and direct me to where I want to be in 1, 5, 10+ years. I always recommend her to all my job seeking friends, she is the best!

I have worked with Dana at the Brooklyn Resume studio for over a year on different projects ranging from my personal resume to promotional materials & branding for my various musical ventures. She is always fast, creative & extremely competitive with her rates. She clearly has a business rooted in integrity and that means a lot to this client. Dana is gifted in what she does & I thoroughly recommend this business.

Dana is a SUPERSTAR. She’s absolutely the BEST at what she does. She’s a true GEM – a rare talent who has a knack for understanding her clients and getting their messages across in a smart, targeted, and relevant way. Dana really «gets it.»
Dana got me my current job at one of the top agencies with one of the best salaries, and the process was so seamless, quick, and easy. As a marketing professional with about 10 years of experience, I am not normally so impressed by recruiters and talent managers. But Dana really knocked it out of the park for me.
What I love about and trust in the most is her specialized knowledge and insight into the job fields themselves. She’s a wealth of information in all things career and recruiting related. And what puts her skillset over the top is that she knows just as much about the marketing and creative world (just take a look at her blog – I get a lot of tips from it!).
I can’t praise her enough. Dana is literally the best in her field.

Not the best experience. I have been working for over 15 years and really needed someone to come in and re-​write parts of my resume. I felt in some places it could have been a little more descriptive and I needed a strong summary. As it turns out… I got a lot of fluff. Just taking my resume and embellishing it to the point where I had to wonder who would believe it? Very wordy as well. If you are right out of college, then I guess their services could be helpful. But if you are a professional with experience — find another place to help you. Especially if you are looking for some creativity. At least I was able to get some of my money back.
