VelvetJobs Reviews 

James B has been a great help to me as I try to find a new job since I was recently laid off. It's a little scary trying to find a new career direction after you have been on the same road for so many years.

Bethany was helpful and encouraging helping me to move into a direction of business ownership which is something I had wanted to do for some time. I appreciate her coaching and the time she took to help me with my search for the ‘next thing’.

VelvetJobs outplacement service was offered to me by my employer due to layoffs. Amanda Stadel was assigned from VelvetJobs to support me shape my profile and prepare for interviews. Amanda made a huge impact in shaping my CV. With my enhanced CV, I was surprised with how much reach outs from the positions I applied for, which was obviously due to the structure and the content of the CV created by Amanda. Amanda was also supporting me in Interviews preparations, one session was how to effectively pitch an introduction, and the second session was about a specific position that I sent to Amanda, and she was able to create an interview simulation with interesting questions regarding the position. She also gave me materials to prepare for the future interviews, and kept in touch to know how the interviews went. I highly recommend VelvetJobs as an outplacement service and definitely Amanda if you need support for your next career step.

James was fantastic to work with! After an unexpected layoff, James assisted me right away by reviewing my resume and creating a cover letter for me to use for all future applications. He was very responsive and thorough in his work to review my resume and has offered his ongoing support as I conduct my job search. Very thankful to James and VelvetJobs for their assistance during my search.

The Velvet Jobs team assisted me with critical aspects of my resume and social profiles to ensure that potential recruiters understood my skills, experience, and interests. Their guidance was instrumental in helping me obtain my new position.

I cannot thank James enough for his incredible help during my sudden job search. After a 40-year career without ever needing a resume, I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. James stepped in and created an outstanding resume after just a quick conversation with me. His ability to capture my experience, skills, and career accomplishments so perfectly was truly impressive. He made the process seamless and stress-free, and I felt confident submitting the resume he crafted. I highly recommend James to anyone in need of professional, high-quality resume assistance.

James has been incredibly helpful in getting my resume and documentation in order, interview prep, and the job search itself. I'd been out of the loop for this process for a number of years, and it would've been considerably more difficult without his attention to detail, and careful considerations. Highly recommended!

Bethany is what made the experience great. I thoroughly enjoyed our sessions since I was able to download a lot of her wisdom while still having a laugh. Her templates for cover letters and resumes were fantastic too!

I have been an engineer for nearly 20 years, and I have had a good resume for 0 of them. To be frank, I am no good at tooting my own horn. That’s why I’m so glad James was my advocate, who helped me put together a professional resume and cover letter that helped my skills and years of experience shine. I’m so glad I had James help me, sometimes you just need someone other than yourself to help show others what you are worth.

Luann was great to work with!

James was a great resource for mock interviews. He would prepare general questions, and I would provide more in depth technical / behavioral ones for the later stage interviews. I would recommend

James made me re think the resume and cover letter strategy I had been using for that last year or so. I really appreciated being challenged and advised on my thinking. I still had an opinion about things but was feeling like I had someone invested in helping me refine what I'd been putting out into the job market. Bottom line, I feel much more confident in my career search moving forward. Thx James!

Working with Luann has been an absolute pleasure. She is very knowledgeable, professional and passionate about the work that she does. She took the time to understand my work experience and long-term goals and provided clear feedback that exceeded my expectation. In addition, Luann helped with re-writting my resume and highlighted my skills, which helped me gain my confidence back. I cannot recommend Luann and the velvet team highly enough for any person looking to excel in their personal and professional life.

Bethany was truly amazing. She brings a wealth of expertise, providing practical and meaningul suggestions not just on my resume and cover letters, but job search and prep strategy. I especilly appreciated her sharing her personal side, and the empathy she gave me during the process.

James provided excellent support in preparing my resume and cover letter. He was professional, helpful, and went beyond the assigned services to assist with additional requests. I highly recommend his services.

Thank you, James!

He is top notch! My go to for excellent Resume writing

Luann was instrumental in helping me optimize my resume and LinkedIn for maximum visibility and placement. I appreciate all of the hard work they put in to help their customers find a new role!

Bethany was extremely proactive, and very responsive in helping me find a new position. She gave great advice, and was an excellent sounding board. Her expertise and guidance was invaluable!

As a first timer with company restructuring and loss of employment I was pleased to have been connected with James as my representative with Velvet Jobs. He is thoughtful, a great listener, encouraging, and a professional.
He was a great guide to really take a look at your accomplishments and make you realize the value you bring to your next employer. He shares insights through his own experience, and helps you gain insight into your own skill sets. I feel that when are laid off after many years at a company it’s hard to really think about how to present yourself at your next job interview and be aware of all your accomplishments. James did a great job to help me highlight my experiences and to really value my contributions for my next employer.
I would highly recommend James. He is a genuine person, that makes himself available and can turn documents around quickly. Great job James!

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience working with Bethany during my career transition. What sets her apart is not just her professional expertise, but her genuine commitment to supporting candidates both professionally and personally.

Throughout my job search, Bethany went above and beyond by:
- Providing constant encouragement and emotional support during a challenging transition period
- Facilitating valuable connections with other professionals in my field
- Offering thoughtful career advice that demonstrated her deep understanding of the industry
- Creating a supportive environment that helped maintain my mental well-being

Her approach made me feel like I had a true advocate in my corner, rather than just another candidate in the system. She took the time to understand my unique situation and concerns, making what could have been an isolating experience feel much more manageable.

Bethany's support extended far beyond just finding job opportunities - she became a trusted advisor and confidence builder during a critical point in my career journey. If you're looking for a placement professional who truly invests in your success, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Bethany.
