Most people are in the habit of judging a watermelon by knocking at its surface, especially when they have to make quick decisions. Daniel Kahnemann, the Nobel laureate psychologist, said: “When you have to make short-term decisions, you don’t have to think very much about it. For the goals that will affect your life in the long run, wait, think with patience, and do not indulge in short-cut thinking habits.”
As soon as you visit this website, you can instantly build your opinion about it due to many factors like poor design, no customer support, empty promises, etc. However, we can’t judge the book by its cover. So we decided to give it a go and see whether the first impression was nothing to do with reality. The verdict is – this website is not worth your time and money.
Suppose you often use reputable companies’ services, especially those who trade online. In that case, you can distinguish a high-quality website from an HTML page written by a 14-year-old student. Well, this one is just one of those made “in haste”. The design (if you can call it that) resembles a site from the 90s. Static and pathetic.
There is no way of contacting them if you want to ask a question or you need help. Simply no option.
All samples are blurry, and you are more likely to lose your eye-sight rather than be able to read what is written there.
Anyway, we tried to remain impartial and objective since, after all, a beautiful picture does not guarantee you a high-quality final product.
Something about the company
What do they offer? The primary service they offer is resume writing, which can be accompanied by some additional services like a cover letter, LinkedIn profile optimizing, and… that’s it. They don’t have a blog, they don’t correct an existing resume, and they don’t do free resume reviews.
They claim that the product received would be ATS friendly. It is a good thing, but it can only save you from falling into the black hole of resumes rejected by an applicant tracking system. Your resume has to be creative and appealing to catch the attention of a recruiter.
There are no stand-alone services, but they come in four bundled packages listed here with all the details.

Quality of service
It is a company lacking a suitable website format, does not refund your money if you receive a bad-quality resume, and has no customer support. And also – you don’t get what they promise! The resume received by us was full of mistakes, some of which were critical. The work was of low quality and not appealing, which wouldn’t bring you any success. There is no way anyone can get an interview call with that kind of resume. It was a total disappointment.
Guarantees
There is a repeated claim on the website of 60 days interview guarantee. What this claim means is not a refund at all. They are trying to say that if you do not receive a call within 60 days or are not happy with their writer’s work, you can ask for a free revision. That’s it.
There is no monetary refund guarantee that every website that has trust in their writers is offering.
You get your first (and perhaps final) draft within 5 to six days, which is too long. It may be because they do not have any writers of their own, but they get TopResume writers to write your resume. After all, they partner with TopResume and offer the same services at lower rates than their partner website. Perhaps, because they don’t take any responsibility for what you’ll get.
Customer support
As we mentioned above, there is no customer support available. They just not bothered. No live chat feature, not even a phone number or email address. There is no way you can contact them in case if you are experiencing any difficulties.
Pros
● Minimalistic site design, which will possibly, but very unlikely to bring nostalgia to an older audience.
● Average pricing.
Cons
● There are no discounts or coupons, so getting a better price is a no-no.
● No customer support. Deal with your issues yourself.
● Many additional services are missing.
● There are no real testimonials.
● There are no guarantees available, so you would not get a refund at all if you are not satisfied with their work.
● The low-quality final product(at least it applies to the one we received)
Conclusion
So, taking into account all of the above, we can conclude one thing – this company is engaged in intermediary services. They have no idea what the resume should be like, and they are not particularly interested in it. All they want is to take their commission and absolve themselves of any responsibility. After all, this is business, isn’t it? If I were you, I would look for a company that cares more about its reputation and independently works with its clients. Good luck!
