Masterpiece Resume

Not only did I need an up-​to-​date resume and cover letter, but I also have approximately eight years of active duty service that I needed translating into civilian terms. First you have to be able to translate military jargon and acronyms and then you have to take that information and tailor it to the specific civilian sector that you’re applying for. This is not an easy task, but Kirstin at Masterpiece Resume did an impeccable job!
Kirstin portrayed everything about my background in the most positive way which I have a hard time conveying myself. You know your accomplishments, but talking about yourself is very difficult to do.
Response and turnaround time of my resume and custom cover letter was excellent.
Overall a wonderful strategic writer, very detailed in wording and structure, and attractive formatting. She is on top of it! I highly recommend Kirstin’s professional service to any of my family, friends, or colleagues!

I was in desperate need of an update to my resume AND business plan. As I have been in business since 2002, I was in the middle of acquiring a major client with a contract that would last me well into the next 5 years at least! Kirsten absolutely put together a kit that I could present with the upmost confidence! Not only did I land my contract, but my client is offering to bring me on full time under their banner; but that’s another story!
I’m not a huge Unilocaler, but do believe in using it to share with my friends and others locally looking for what services I found. With that said, I must say that the negative review below is somewhat unacceptable. It feels to me like the negative Unilocaler is used to being a bully by looking at the other 8 scathing reviews they made. I was concerned at first seeing the review, but after seeing the jist of it; I know I made the right decision! Seriously, get a life you whining panzy. Only a coward of a man would act like this towards a female, show some class and move on.
Thanks Kirsten for your hard work. I appreciate the hours you put in, and I apologize for making so many change requests! You really put my job and environment into perspective!

Ms. Kirstin Olsen is one of the most INCOMPETENT and UNPROFESSIONAL private contractors I have ever hired!!! After a 20 year career in the MILITARY I hired Kirstin to write me resumes geared toward civilian employment. Not only did she not fulfill the contract, but what she did produce was full of amateur grammatical/​verbal errors.
When I attempted to bring it to her attention, First she ignored my phone calls and voices mails, then stated she was not receiving my texts messages either. It wasn’t until I informed Ms. Olsen I intended to leave negative feedback online that she finally responded too me.
She attempted to bribe me by offering a $ 200 refund of the $ 500 I PAID her in advance, ONLY if I signed a «Gag Order», NOT to leave NEGATIVE Feedback. Obviously, I have more Integrity than that and would not be bought, nor care to see any other Veteran OR good Samaritan get scammed or ripped off like I was.
Kirstin made several excuses from «I had alot come up», «I had taken longer than expected», to finally «I do not want to work with you any further» after I called her out on her LIES!!!
DON’T GET RIPPED OFF LIKE ME…
I can a sure you Ms. Olsen I am no liar and your continued IMMATURE idol threats with regards to future employment are just continued pathetic attempt to threaten me. Here one of your texts supporting my earlier assertions.
” (³⁄₅) er, there are different rules. I wanted to get your project to you for review and address edits. I had a lot come up that precluded me from being able to «
Here is your BRIBE/​GAG ORDER to refund me for not fulfilling our contract you attempted to have me sign to silence me, but again I have INTEGRITY (That could be why You Don’t have any Negative Feedback):
«As per our agreement, I Kirstin Olsen, Owner of Masterpiece Resume will refund client, Joseph Jervis, $ 200.00 (partial project fee paid) via PayPal. In return Joseph Jervis has agreed he will not post a negative review on ANY social platform or complaint to the BBB (Better Business Bureau) now or ever in respect to and regarding services provided and personal experience with Masterpiece Resume or Kirstin Olsen. Partial refund is being processed solely based on miscommunication of project expectations.
Please note that should you fail to comply with the above demands, or participate in the above activity outlined, I will take formal legal action against you. Such legal action may include the filing of a lawsuit against you for, among other things, breach of good faith and fair dealing, libel and defamation. In connection with such a lawsuit, you may face liability for compensatory and punitive damages, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. All email and text correspondence have been saved, printed and filed for future use should this agreement be violated in any manner. «
Goodbye Ms. Olsen and stop texting and email me your threats like you sent again today. Lord knows I have tried to ignore all your emails, texts, and threats!!! And never responded as you had hoped… Below is her threating text sent today Nov 3, 2015 after reading this posting to my Personal email. How unprofessional and confrontational. …

Just a word of advice from the industry I am a professional in, Career Counseling. Just as your comments and reviews of other businesses can hurt them, they can also hurt yourself. Do you feel that with all of the hostile reviews posted by you in direct onslaught and use of volatile verbiage is going to make you look good to a potential employer? My guess is, a potential employer investigating you for a security type profession will clearly see how hostile and potentially unstable you may be as an employee representing their company and may even consider you as a potential liability waiting to happen and therefore will not consider you a candidate for hire. Social media works both ways Mr. Jervis, you should just hope it doesn’t backfire on you and your job search efforts. «
I hope to See You in Small Claims Court Ms. Olsen …

Excellent! Kirsten wrote a great resume for me. I was changing careers and going fir my first job in the medical field. With Kirstens help i got hired with a major healthcare provider! I really believe it was my resume that she wrote up for me that was the key to landing a great job. The pricing is reasonable and the service was prompt and professional. I highly recommend masterpiece resume to everyone.

I have gone through «online resume services» before, the ones that give you a «discount» and offer you «quick turn around» and «good results» only to be completely let down. Then I luckily stumbled upon Kirstin & her company, Masterpiece Resume. Kirstin was ACTUALLY all those things that other company promise but never deliver. Upon initial inquiry email, she responded in less than a day. We agreed on a time and spoke on the phone (we are in different parts of the country) We discussed expectations and goals and a few days later in my inbox was the professional level resume/​cover letter that I was looking for. Any revisions or questions I had, Kirstin quickly answered or applied without any gimmicks. Pleased with the results is an understatement! Thank you so much!

After working with another local resume service and still not quite having what I had in mind to use in my job search, I contacted Masterpiece Resume to give it another shot. Kirstin asked me to email my existing federal and civilian resumes for a free consultation. After hearing the various ways she could improve my documents I was convinced I had made the right choice and decided to move forward in the revision process. Once my documents were completed, I could not be happier with the final result. It is obvious Kirstin loves what she does and is committed in helping others through her work. I routinely recommend Kirstin’s services with confidence to friends I know who are transitioning from the military as well!
