This is not worth the money. If you are looking for some help with your resume you should find someone that you can speak with directly and communicate with to do the job. The writers here do put in effort but there is no direct communication between the writer and the customer. I spent a pretty decent amount of money and ended up with a product that I had to spend hours re writing to be useful as a resume for me. EDIT: Might be worthwhile at less than half of what it costs but that's still a maybe.

TDLR: They're not good writers. After many revisions I still saw grammatical errors, odd sentence structures, and confusing paragraphs. Reads like a bot is doing the writing and its not very good. Had to fight to get a partial refund. Long version: I was hopeful for this service but overwhelmingly disappointed in the quality of writing and frustrating communication. I ordered a resume and cover letter for assistance in career change. I provided my existing resume and some draft paragraphs/bullet points of things to convey in my cover letter- but let them know the writer had free reign to write as they saw fit (no need to copy paste my cover letter notes). The resume they provided basically took my existing resume and placed into a different basic template- it was fine but not worth the cost if you already have a resume. They didnt update any of the text other than the statement of intent I asked them to add- a poorly written one was added. I wasnt happy with resume but I could live with it. Cover letter on the other hand was completely unusable and barely comprehensible. I kept sending it back for revision but nothing was being fixed [well enough]. They use intermidiaries between the writer and whoever you chat with so I'm not sure if this was due to breakdown in communication or if they just have bad writers. After several revisions I kept asking for a refund on the cover letter which they kept avoiding and offering a second writer. I agreed but only if they agreed the new writer would get one attempt and if I wasnt happy I would get my cover letter refund. New writer wasn't any better and I didn't want to lose any more time on this as it was already delaying my job hunt. I had to go back and forth until i finally got a manager who gave me a partial refund for the cover letter. I'm ok with this as they did some work but seeing how what they gave me was unusable imo I couldnt stomach paying that much for nothing [usable]. They have quick response times and decent customer service but they just did not understand what I needed. Product read as if little effort was put in. If you have very specific needs I would recommend finding a writing professional on upwork that clearly has the experience, credentials, and specific reviews to back up their work. If you just need a quick standard resume and cover letter go with an automated service like job hero. For a fraction of the cost that bot did way better than resume101. -edited for typos & clarification
