Bethany has been wonderful. She’s supportive, positive and provides great insight.

Velvet Jobs has been a game-changer in my career transition! The service is great, and I’m very happy with everything. Special thanks to Amanda Stadel, she is an amazing professional! Amanda is so sweet, she really cares about my career and the coach sessions have been very helpful. I recommend Velvet Jobs to anyone who needs help with their career!

James is amazing, he was quick in getting back to me and did a great job on the resume and cover letter. He is also very helpful and on top of things and very willing to help.

James from velvet jobs helped me customize my resume very efficiently according to the job requirement after I was laid off. Every time I reached out he was very helpful concise and most of all patient. I would recommend him to anyone who is struggling to update their resume according to the job requirements. He is truly a helper to guide you through for your resume needs.

Bethany who was assigned as my coach was very effective in helping me with my resume and also interview prep. She also provided a number of pointers on the companies to target and the way to go about it. Would certainly recommend her. She is also very emphatic which was very helpful for me.

I had the opportunity to work with Bethany G at VelvetJobs and after an extended period with one employer I needed a lot of guidance re-vamping everything. Bethany was invaluable in helping me update my resume, cover letter, and preparing for interviews. She checked in on me, was available for questions, knowledgeable about her answers, and was always kind and compassionate. I highly recommend Bethany / VelvetJobs!

Representative I worked with were super quick and efficient. Great attention to detail and flexible to my requests. Completely revamped my resumes and cover letter to a whole new level!

I worked with VelvetJobs and Amanda Stadel after being laid off from work. This was just a fantastic resource. Amanda was so great about helping me prepare my resume for applications in addition to helping me prepare for interviews. She was always very thorough and proactive in her approach. I would absolutely recommend for anyone seeking new opportunities.

My career coach Amanda Stadel was really easy to work with, talk to, and help organize thoughts, resume, and goals. She not just boosted the resume and job search results, but also boosted morale and made things seem like it will always move forward and we will reach our goal. She helped organize all the thoughts and was a great listener to the failures and successes at each point of the search!

I worked with Bethany Greenley with VelvetJobs and she was incredible. I felt like she genuinely cared about equipping me to find my next role with a company. She checked in regularly and stayed up to date on who I was interviewing with and where I was in the process. Bethany did a great job of encouraging me through the process as well as giving me insights through this time on what she was seeing in the job market space in general. Prior to my first interview she instructed me to send her the job posting so she could anticipate interview questions and she did a mock interview with me. This was very useful as it had been a long time since I was on that end of an interview. I also received lots of compliments on my resume that she helped me build. I would definitely recommend VelvetJobs and specifically Bethany for anyone having to navigate through a shift in their career.

James was a great help. I found myself after a Layoff needing to revamp my resume after not needing to use one for years. The Resume and Coverletter assistance was just the tip of it, James was able to assist with interview questions and made himself available for any and all questions I had.

After 25 years with the same company, I found myself needing to learn how to apply for new positions—a daunting task after so long. Velvet Jobs gave me the foundation, coaching, and guidance I needed to start this new journey. The 1:1 coaching sessions were invaluable, helping me tailor my resume and craft a cover letter that ultimately led to job offers. Bethany's deep understanding of the job market was particularly impactful. I highly recommend Velvet Jobs to anyone seeking a new position.

I had the opportunity to use VelvetJobs through my previous employer as part of an acquisition transaction. I was fortunate to be paired with Luann, who completely transformed my resume and created a custom cover letter in less than 48 hours. She took the time to walk me through her methodology and provided me with a framework to tailor my resume to specific job descriptions. As a result, I now have more confidence in my resume than ever before in my career.

Update 8/17/24:
After I posted this review, I was very quickly connected with a real person that has been assisting me with searching for jobs and reformatting my resume. The person that has been working with me is pleasant and professional, but at the same time, I'm not sure my original conclusions were wrong. For now, I'm giving them a small benefit of a doubt and updating my rating from 1 star to 2 stars. I will update again when I am further along into the process.

Original Review:

My former employer paid for some sort of services with Velvet when I was laid off recently.

I agree with the other reviewer that the positive reviews for this company are fake. I was asked to fill out a survey on their website with information about my desired position, and was asked to upload a resume. They said I would be contacted by one of their team members. After a few days I was sent an email by their team asking me to fill out…the same survey again. When I said that I had already done so, they told me that my information was incomplete and I should just complete it again. So I did. A few days after that I received another email that asked me to reply to the email with the answers to the questions that I already submitted twice on their website, and email them a copy of my resume.

This smacks of a strategic pattern of delaying tactics hoping that they will not have to provide any of the services that they have been paid for. It’s particularly infuriating because those of us who have lost our jobs need to be particularly strategic with our time and apply to as many jobs as possible. Instead, I’ve wasted my time interacting with this company.

If you want to make laid off employees even more angry and frustrated than they already were, tell them you’re providing them with “outplacement services” and hire Velvet Jobs.

I had the pleasure of working with VelvetJobs, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From the moment I reached out, their team demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for my career success.

Their job placement services were top-notch. They took the time to understand my skills, experiences, and career aspirations, matching me with opportunities that aligned perfectly with my goals. The guidance and support I received throughout the job search process were invaluable. The coaching sessions were personalized and insightful, covering everything from resume building and interview preparation to negotiating job offers. Their expert advice boosted my confidence and equipped me with the tools I needed to succeed.

The staff at VelvetJobs are not only experts in their field but also incredibly supportive and encouraging. They were always available to answer questions, provide feedback, and offer encouragement. Their commitment to their clients’ success is evident in everything they do.

Thanks to VelvetJobs Their services are truly transformative, and I am grateful for their exceptional support.

Very helpful and thoughtful agents who take time to make sure they improve your proposition of personal value. They also provide supplemental information to improve your approach to interviews etc.

Bethany is not only incredibly helpful - providing ideas, professional insights, and very useful tips to help improve my resume, LinkedIn profile, job hunting and job interviewing skills, she has also been an incredible pillar of support and encouragement during these difficult times. I'm so grateful to have had Bethany on this career journey!

My experiences with VelvetJobs were very helpful, informative, and positive. Bethany Greenley was great to work with. She understands the current state of the job market and provides advice and guidance on what to expect and a path to follow to stay the course. I really appreciated all her efforts and hard work in collaborating with me in updating my resume to stand out in this competitive job market. Keep up the good work Bethany!!

Really positive interaction and helpful job hunting tips!

James Bivens provided much needed assistance in helping me with my Resume. He was very knowledgeable, responsive, and attentive to any questions that i had. Would definitely recommend working with him.
