I've been exploring resume writing services and career coaching options lately and have been trying to separate good genuine recommendations from marketing and while researching, I came across several discussions mentioning sedlack peter the career coach, particularly in conversations about executive resumes, linkedIn optimization etc.

That said, I'm not looking for a specific recommendation and would like to hear a variety of experiences before making a decision.

For the people who has worked with a resume writer or career coach recently, please help me out with

Which service did you use?
What was your experience like?
Did it actually help you get more interviews or better job opportunities?
Was it worth the cost?
Are there any services you'd recommend avoiding?

I'm especially interested in hearing from professionals in competitive industries but all experiences are welcome.

I'm a mobile dev and most of the ai conversations I've had with product people in the last year have been some version of "can we put ai in this?"

Around march pm came to us with exactly that ask, "our competitors all have an AI button. We should have an AI button." We tried for two hours to figure out what the button would do, btw the pm didn't have anything in mind and nor the designer. We shipped a button that said "Ask AI" and opened a chat window connected to a basic prompt template and we didn't tell anyone it was a thin wrapper.

App store rating went up 0.8 stars :)

It's kind of wild how much of mobile product work is theater. I used to think users could tell when a feature was real but now I think they mostly can't and the feature being "real" is sometimes less important than the feature looking like it exists. I'm still not sure how I feel about that lol.
