“A seriously pleasant experience so far!”

Marian J.
2/23/22

I did my research and found that TopStack rated well and has good reviews for the most part. I purchased the Professional Package (after all, I am one, and need my resume to be solid). Happily, I received a skilled and experienced writer. I sent him Word docs of my existing resumes that were frustrating me. He tied everything together in a pleasant, presentable and marketable way to a single, easily-read resume. I'm looking forward to now updating my Linked In profile, and putting my newly approved documents out for competition.

“Not worth the money”

Whatever you do, do not pay extra for the linkedin and cover letter, its a cut and paste template. Did not make any of the updates I asked when I wanted tweaks made to my resume and very slow to respond. Also, didn't even spell my name correct in emails. No attention to detail.

I had contacted Top Stack a over a week ago, with still no services being attended to. They sent an email part way stating that they are searching for a writer to assist but never heard back. I had to contact them today to follow up and they said that it is on their board, but they still do not have a writer to assist. They even went on to say that they have a bonus for my file for the writers, which means that their staff isn't experienced enough to handle a professional/senior resume like mine. If you are offering professional writing services, then experienced writers should be on staff. There was no attempt to assist, or offer discount etc. but to ask again if anyone would take my file. In the time I was chatting with them, a competitor had already reached out and physically called me back. Do not recommend at all, which is unfortunate as they looked legit.

Tip for consumers:
For professional services, they are not the place to go to.

I worked with Christopher Taylor, who was very fast and professional. I did not expect that I would be responded to until after the weekend. However, it is now Monday and I already have my final documents. Thank you!

Fast and reasonably priced service! Highly recommended!

I'm extremely satisfied with the finished product and Simone, my writer was amazing! She was attentive and detail oriented. She took what little I had on an old resume, and combined with a couple of telephone conversations, turned it into something I'm proud to submit to prospective employers.

Haley was a great resume writer. She was thorough, efficient, and quick to discuss opportunities and strengths while managing suggestions. Through the expedited process her turn around was amazing. LinkedIn profile and cover letter were written directly to my experience. She took her time and although her profile says over 400 resumes written, you can tell every single one has been catered to the professional she has worked with and a lot of effort has been put into everyone. Great work!

I needed a resume revamp due to a career change. I was pretty happy with my original but knew it could be better. Vicki was quick with her response and suggestions. My resume and cover letter look great. 25 years on my resume that was 2 pages compressed into 1 modern look. And the price is fair for all you get.

Tip for consumers:
Be open to resume ideas. Not ridged. That’s why you need the change right?

I've had the same resume for over 10 years, I've recently been out of work for nearly 3 years now, for the first time in my life. I've had a hard time getting back into the work force because no one was calling me back after ai apply. My husband saw my resume, and suggested I have it professionally written, I scoffed at first, but then once my pride subsided, i researched professional resume writers. I stumbled upon Top Stack and began collaborating with Sara, who's amazing by the way! She was patient and asked me to be open and transparent. The end result, an amazing resume/cover letter. Now I'm applying with great confidence, and cant wait to press send when I email copies of my resume and cover letter!

I don't understand the reviews of this service. I am a 40-something working professional who was looking to improve my resume and LinkedIn. What I received was pathetic-obvious typos and grammatical issues, basic language making me sound entry level, not an established professional. I had to end up writing it myself with the help of others. HUGE waste of money. Do not buy! Just look up samples online.

I sent them a professionally written CV. Merely make some updates and asked that they review and ensure would pass ATS. Instead he adds wording that looked like a 5th grader wrote it, grammatically incorrect, and made my name a font of 50 plus. He also missed the corrections he was asked to catch. Not to mention missed the deadline on what was basically 1 hour of work, and skipped entirely the primary ask of taking a summary page and testimonials (again already written) and simply ensuring that had a once over to catch anything I missed as busy, and that it aligned in font to the main doc. Complete and utter waste of my time. Felt like i was being punked. Do not use this service.

Tip for consumers:
Use another service on Linkedin. I simply do not believe the positive reviews. You will also see on Linkedin no mgt. Just one guy marked founder out of India.

I found Florida to be a tough market for my job search so I thought I would have my resume "Professionally improved ". What a waste of time! The writer lied to me about sending a draft and they ended up backing out of the job with no explanation!

I was very reluctant on making a decision in where as to trusting someone else creating a resume for me. Although the one I had created was terrible to say the least, and not only that, how would someone that I have never met make my resume? But I am very glad I made the decision and gave it a try. My writer was very professional and prompt. He asked questions he needed to create in my opinion an awesome resume.

I recently contacted TopStack to update my resume & LinkedIn Profile. The communication was exactly as stated on their website and my consultant, Jessica, was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The initial resume she sent was so on "on point" that only a few minor revisions were needed and I had the finished product in just a few days. I thought Topstack offered better value in terms of services rendered for the cost and am very pleased overall with this service.

I worked with Erica on a resume for myself. I was having trouble putting into words my past work experience. She communicated back and forth with me effortlessly. She took my info and put together a very great looking resume. I am so glad she was recommended to me. Thanks Erica for all your assistance. I would recommend her definitely.

I am a long time executive assistant and production manager (10 years of experience) and was looking to upgrade my resume as I look to level up with a new job, so I paid TopStack for a professional resume. The first copy I received did not make any sense, had changed my job titles/moved them around making them completely illogical and not in alignment with my professional history at all. The edited version was not better, had incomplete and run on sentences, was extremely dense and scored very poorly with ATS. I was offered another writer, they criticized my lack of cover letter (how do they know if I write a cover letter? I ALWAYS do) and gave me unhelpful interview pointers, and delivered essentially the same resume just in a different format. I did attempt to use it a few times but then felt that I did not want to be associated with that resume and ended up completely re-writing it after over a month of rejections and feedback that my resume was illogical and dense.

Connor did an amazing job working with me and putting this new resume together! I wanted to review this after I received feedback from potential employers looking at my resume and LinkedIn page. I couldn't believe all the new amount of traffic my profile and resume reviews got after getting this much needed fix.
I highly recommend Top Stack Resume if you are looking to stand out and look your best!

I was paired with a very experienced woman her name is Ann Chirinko. She not only went above and beyond with the style of how the resume & cover letter was formatted but she took time to really prep me for my upcoming interviews. She explained to me that I need to make sure my verbiage is correct. So that made me realize that this was not just a business transaction it was a little bit of everything.

Brooke was great to work with.
Being self employed for the last 30 years I felt made it a bit more challenging to create a competitive resume. Brooke was great at asking the right questions that brought my attributes to the surface for a potential employer to see on paper. The process was easy and professional. Thanks, Brooke!

I provided my original resume, which I felt needed some expert review as I had only received a couple of interviews since being laid off.
I only had email correspondence despite asking to speak with the resume writer. It was a tall order to review the drafts with only 2 reviews before the final draft, but I put faith in Clark Jospeh, my writer.
Since I had my resume written I have had zero interviews.

Tip for consumers:
Stay away

Went through three writers.
First one took forever to get me a rough draft that may have just as well been written in crayon. Instead of sacking up and correcting her mistakes, she quit the job.
Second one tried to defend the first one, and was antagonistic right out of the box. She quit, too.
Last one was the best, but also got butthurt because I wanted corrections made. She also quit the job.
None of the three have experience in my field.
Finally a "manager" stepped in and could not reassign the job and just canceled without my permission.
Six weeks, no product.
Good news is I didn't have to pay for it.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't.

I chose TopStack Resume services because of all of the positive reviews I read online. I chose the bundle including resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn revision. TopStack has customers pay after receiving the first draft of the resume, which I did even though the resume was unimpressive. My bad. I decided that I could edit the resume to make it work. I thought a powerful cover letter was the tool I was lacking. Unfortunately, what I received from the TopStack writer was a gobbledygook word salad rife with poor grammar and typos. It's completely unuseable. I didn't want her to ruin my LinkedIn profile so I decided to revise it on my own. My experience with TopStack was a huge waste of money and time.

Tip for consumers:
Don't expect a workable resume or cover letter from TopStack. I was better off before I used them.
