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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
Very easy and streamlined process. Jennifer May was amazing to work with, communication was super easy and helpful... Not to mention she was kind and reassuring. Thank You for all your insight and assistance!
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.
Answer: They are legit in that they will take your money and give you a receipt. As far as delivering on what was promised, totally different story.
Answer: They use real people, and I had no problems with communication or anything else for that matter.
