Qualified resume writer, check my profile for proof. I’ve been feeling a bit generous this week and wanted to help out. Normally I don’t do this but the first 15 people who message me get a free resume review. I specialise in senior professionals, career switchers and people who have been applying for a while with no traction. Students are welcome too. Obviously redact all your personal info before sending it over.

Edit : will delete post once request are to much

Gonna hype up this idea but also felt like I should vet it first. Got a call from a recruiter today and it was huge. Wasn’t hearing back from anything I applied to for the last three months. I think it boils down to formatting and clean layout so I finally decided to pull out my wallet a bit to get better help.

It started with me scouring for affordable resume writing services, tbh I was skeptical about the whole industry. I honestly worried that resume writing services cost a fortune before the first hour was even up. I’ve seen cheap resume writing services pop up that don’t actually look authentic. I needed to be careful before making a mistake.

I ended up looking at writing resume services that specialized in non-profit roles, which is my field. I stuck tight to resume writing services under $100 to keep things manageable since my savings aren’t massive. The team cleaned up my bullet points and fixed the objective statement.

It’s definitely not a guaranteed fix, but I had a lot of interviews scheduled with it. I know I’m lucky that luck was on my side but so far things are moving forward. If you guys are running into problems with the text blocks, let me know how you are handling the edits.

How does everyone else tackle the resume part of the application without getting rejected? Any tips on the wording side?

I finally took the laptop into the living room today instead of the kitchen where my coffee mug has been cold for three hours. I've been staring at the word processor for about four months now and yet I've managed to send out zero applications that got anywhere positive. Everyone keeps sending me the stink eye when I try to go back to corporate after a break where I was stuck in manual labor. It's been years since I updated my skills. They said my work experience didn't match even though I have years of experience because my resume was bad. Help was needed.
I've read all about the best resume writing services but the cost seemed like gambling money honestly. I looked for a resume writing service online. But honestly got confused until I started asking friends about it they said to try a resume writing service near me though the offices are nowhere near me. Then I stopped looking for physical places and just paid for a digital option. I know everyone wants to know what is the best resume writing service out there but that's the problem everyone has. I did use a service and I didn't tell them about my experience yet. The format finally looks right instead of a wall of text you just can't read.

But I'm here asking you guys if you feel like you had better luck or struggling even more. I don't want to try this again but I need to know. What happened after you sent them out? Was it better than just drafting it yourself? It feels wrong to pay for something like that but it's too risky to try this alone. I'm just trying to stay hopeful in this season because things feel really dark right now. I'm afraid of sending another blank rejection with no feedback. What do you think about paying for help?

It’s being almost one month since I am applying daily in companies from LinkedIn , naukri and indeed but not get call single call. What should you guys advise? If any one had gone through the same situation please let me know , I am so frustrated with the company I am in right now too much micromanaging.

Hey guys, career switcher here, education to tech exec after 7 years. Sent 50+ apps, almost zero responses. Got my first interview call last week, so figured I'd get my resume critiqued by you all.

A mentor suggested I check out executive resume writing services since the transition looks complicated for mid-level. They said the best resume writing service for executives has structural tweaks that help. I ended up testing a resume writing service for executives after seeing their before/after samples, didn't want to spend a lot of money without proof it worked.

Not sure if I should have gone with resume writing services for senior executives instead since I'm not at that level yet. My biggest worry's that the education-to-corporate jump looks scattered. Halfway through a cert program now.

Open to feedback on the experience section. Ask me anything about the pivot or what you'd change

Like Many here, I need help with my resume. I'm not getting any interviews; I just get rejections. I have changed my resume a few times now, following many posts, but nothing.

Initially, I was using the one above, but change to the following

Can someone help me?

One comment on the job search thread triggered me. Been ghosted by local listings in Austin TX for about three months now. My job title is Marketing Manager, so I didn't look desperate just didn't get noticed. Old resume format stuck me. I'd been scrounging for free templates on GitHub but nah. I'd been talking about using online resume writing services on a few calls but couldn't justify the cost when I was broke.

Started searching for best online resume writing services a few weeks ago. I read the resume writing services reviews on the main feed and noticed the mixed feedback. Some called it expensive, others said worth the time I'd save. I actually saw a thread recently calling out a resume writer who just copy-pasted generic headers. Didn't want that. So I looked for resume writing services online and found the pro actually looked at the content. Is it the review resume writing services everyone mentions? No, not exactly.

Phrased it right. Got two callbacks in ten days after weeks of silence. It wasn't free magic. Still had to fix some skills gaps on my end. Had a weird interview moment where I swapped a typo on the printing but otherwise it held up. Still not full time yet but hope. What's the biggest mistake people make when fixing their own resume?

Let's talk about why cheap resume writing services can destroy job applications faster than you think. 
My first resume through a random resume writing service was a mess. It buried my test automation certifications under buzzwords. I still remember the moment I realized my LinkedIn profile link was broken in the resume the kind of obvious detail that screams "not detail-oriented." Spoiler: the callbacks stopped coming right after that.
Then I switched to a professional resume writing service that actually understood app testing. They rewrote my bullet points to focus on outcomes rather than tasks. They turned my compliance testing work into brandable achievements that aligned with agile workflows.
The difference was immediate. One resume got me zero interviews. The revised one landed me consulting work that paid well enough to quit the projects I was stuck in. For anyone in tech, the best resume writing service means one that understands your industry's hidden vocabulary.

Don't save money on resume writing services or you'll save it in wrong direction. Your resume needs to hit the right notes for your field. If you're serious about mobile app testing, invest in a professional resume writing service that gets it
