The job industry has changed ever since 2008 and applying to jobs is not only stressful, its dehumanizing. WID has taught me alot of vital information that isn't shared but should be common knowledge in schools and other training programs; I've been in several programs including state-funded but WID has tools that can help anyone from the service industry to the cooperate industry. They also have programs to asset certain issue in applying to a position and how to interact in a job interview.

Your portal is great. I really especially enjoyed the course on interviewing. Getting confirmation on things I was doing right as well as learning new tips has made me more confident in my search, more relaxed and given me a better peace of mind. I honestly sleep better the night before an important interview now. You've erased a lot of uncertainty and freed up real estate in my brain!

Be aware of sneaky way they charge your credit card! I did some kind of quiz which forced me to start a 7day trail. Little did I know that my CC will be charged without any warning or email notification. Customer service is ignoring my request saying they cannot do anything, while I know it's very simple to do a refund. If your business really needs $25 from an unemployed individual, then you are screwed. I will contact my bank to start a charge back procedure under a claim of fraud.

The other reviewer is completely correct! I signed up for my 3 day free trial after seeing a viral video of JT on linkedin. After signing up, you are not paired with a coach but talk to many in essentially a group chat. From there, they prompt you to send your resume / cover letter / linkedin link, and send you a video critiquing all of them. The video critique was essentially a 3 minute long ad telling me to take their "course" (included with subscription) that lays out step by step instructions, and then stick your resume in a specific template they used (which was NOT nice looking.) I cancelled my trial right after that as I'm looking for personalized feedback on my language, building a brand story etc, not just a new template.

Work It Daily (WID) is good for general job search advice. I found the exercises in the video courses to be helpful and encouraging. I particularly enjoyed writing down my specific goals and using that as a platform to pitch to companies or while networking. It was also cool to get a real person and not a robot reviewing your cover letter and resume. With that said, WID has a specific structure for their resumes and cover letters that you have to adhere to. Even if the content on your resume or cover letter is steller, they will suggest you change it to match their template. The drawback with this is that the only true advice they're giving you is that what you have must match what they have. They suggest putting a "specialist" title at the top of your resume under your contact information. I initially thought that was different but I was open to making the change since I haven't been receiving much success in obtaining interviews. I can't say that technique works or doesn't, but I do know there's no one way to do a resume. The resume template they provide you with has redundancies. For example, you list your education on the top of your resume and then again below. The cover letter template they provide you with at first seems like a cool idea until you notice that even their example is filled with cliches. They don't check for content only that your cover letter be in the same exact format they suggest. I noticed I had some errors in my cover letter but they only advised me to change the structure to their template. I got the same advice during both times I sought feedback. I would probably stick with the free trial of WID or do a month but I don't believe their resources alone will help you get your next job. Job search success always includes a myriad of factors coming together until that miraculous moment of a job offer finally happens. WID can be one factor but it is shouldn't be your one-stop-shop on your way to getting a job.
