The person that wrote my resume had no concept of what a mortgage closer is. They used sensationalized verbage such as "Spearheaded audits...", I did not spearhead anything in that particular role, and added a skill set I used at only 1 job to every job list on my resume. Again no concept of what a mortgage closer does. It was a complete waste of $150 and I have to now write my own resume. Do not recommend.

This company has been charging $9.95 monthly to my credit card without me ever giving them authorization for such. Very sneaky scammer!!! I provided them my credit card for a one time fee for a service ONLY! Why would I need to have them charge me $9.95 to my credit card months after I received from them the completed service of rewriting my resume (which by the way was a joke! They even removed my LinkedIn address from my resume and I had to enter it myself later on when I realized they had done this without reviewing with me first - which resume writing company does that?!?!?).

On February 7th, 2024, I spoke to a representative named Ryan from Resume Writing Group. I was drawn to their services primarily because of their advertised money back guarantee. During our conversation, I emphasized the importance of having a science-based resume tailored to my chemistry degree, as well as ensuring compatibility with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Ryan assured me that their resume writers were capable of crafting a strong, industry-standard science-based resume. He also outlined the terms of their money back guarantee, stating that I would need to diligently apply for job postings and provide proof of application for a refund. I specifically asked for clarification on what proof would be required, and Ryan stated that automated emails confirming I applied would suffice. Feeling reassured by our conversation and the company's guarantee, I decided to proceed with Resume Writing Group. On February 9th, 2024, I received a voicemail from Ryan following up with me about my decision. I still called other resume services just to be sure. after carefully reviewing my notes and gathering all necessary information, I initiated the resume writing process through their website. However, my experience with Resume Writing Group fell short of expectations. Despite providing detailed instructions and emphasizing the need for a science-based resume, the final product did not meet industry standards. I had conversation with the writer Rita to make it as good as possible and even informed Ryan through the portal I wasn’t as confident in the resume being up to standard for science. Furthermore, the resume did not get me any interview in the allotted timeframe. When I reached out to Resume Writing Group to request a refund as per their money back guarantee, they refused to honor it, citing insufficient proof of job applications. I was informed that I will need in addition to applying for resumes online, fax and mail certify 40 resumes to each job. I did read this once I had paid for my services, and I was sent the “how to properly market your resume” this however was not stated on the initial website on the homepage nor was it relay in the phone consultation with Ryan. I asked for my call to be pulled and listened to with me. Despite this, Resume Writing Group failed to acknowledge my efforts and adhere to their guarantee I was verbally told. My expertise is forensic science and crime labs do not have fax numbers and incoming mail that the get. I also would not have paid for Resume Writing Group because as I stated to them that would have been an added financial burden on top of the 269.00. That would also defeat the purpose of hiring a resume service that states they will build a resume that is ATS compatible if I need to send a fax or certified mail to them in order to be eligible for a refund. This experience has left me feeling misled and frustrated with Resume Writing Group's lack of accountability. I believe their money back guarantee policy is deceptive and fails to deliver on its promises.

THERE IS NO REFUND!!!!! One of their big selling points is a 45 day hired or your money back "guarantee". It's total BS! Don't fall for it like I did. I spoke with Ryan, the company owner and he promised me over and over that I had nothing to worry about because it's "guaranteed". The only thing that's guaranteed is that you will get an AI generated resume and a promise that is worth nothing. Also use a virtual credit card because they will try to charge you again without notice. Virtual cards are only good for one time use FYI. Just another scammer to scam job seekers. These type of low-lifes should be put under the jail.

Not only is this company's resume writing subpar (I repeatedly came back over and over to get a product that was 'marketable", which it never was) , they are somewhat quick to charge. I was charged an annual 39.95 fee for annual "career consulting" after I had expressed dissatisfaction - the fee which was eventually reversed. Their career counseling lacked any out innovative thinking or strategy .The last request or effort I made to get a decent resume out of them ,I was charged a $89 and they literally tweaked a few lines . I expressed my disappointment with this quality of work and despite numerous DM's Ryan just failed to respond till this day. Initially Ryan was responsive, although it was probably to secure more chargeable business. Bottom line I never received one interview on their resumes. Went to another more professional company, with similar pricing, I was interviewing within ten days and employed 25 days later. I would not recommend using this service.

This was my first time paying for a professional resume. The process was easy of course and I received my resume extremely quickly. I did have to send it back once for a typo, but that wasn't bad because we're going to have some type of human error. The part that's really got me is that I paid over $100 for my resume and it has not received one hit from anyone other than scammers. I reached out to them for a revision since they suggested narrowing it down to a specific field, which they did. It just consisted of them rewording the header. The updated one still has not received any hits. The resume I did received more hits than these, they were just all low paying which I could not afford to accept. The website is nice, you'll get a resume quick, but I cannot say you will get an interview or anything other than a rejection letter. It has been a month and they did say that it takes time,we will see. 10/03/24 Since my review above on October 1, 2024 this company has suspended my account. Inspite of how they chose to dress up this situation in their rsponse below, I did reach out to this company several times about my resume not getting any reviews or me landing a job. They replied with "It takes time." It will be a month in 2 days since they did my first resume and still nothing. I reached out to them again and they said that my resume was too broad, so I told the to narrow it down to Medical Billing. They did change the heading to reflect that and that was it. Still no interview and no new job. But this person responding to my review on here has chosen to lie about the timing by saying it has been 2 weeks, and also lying about me not reaching out to them. Then finally stating they wish me the best and to reach out to them even though they have suspended my account. There is also no way of getting in touch with them on their site unless you have an account or choose to make an order. They have in the contract that they will refund your money with in 45 days and no more than 90 days. However they have suspended my account. FALSE ADVERTISING! I literally gave this company my last bit of money, believing that they would stand by their word. Instead they created a resume that has not gotten me one interview. Next suspended my account with them after my review on here. Then lied in their response to my review below to keep ripping people off. This company is a joke and they do not stand by their word. Also I am a female not a male. They addressed me as a male in their response to my review even though you can see my picture above clear as day, I-am-a-female. Bit of advice if you don't know the person's gender look for a picture like the one I have above or use a neutral term. But I feel that was just another way for this person to be mean and hit below the belt because they did not like my original review. Either way people watch out for this company. It's a scam.

What a terrible experience with Ryan and his team. He talked me into going with them when I interviewed 5 other companies and he promised the resume would be ATS friendly (it wasn't) then when I asked for help he ghosted me and now doesn't want to fix anything.

Despite noticing negative reviews, I decided to try The Resume Writing Group. Unfortunately, my experience validated those reviews: Initially...the resume looked great, despite its coloring which was too bright....but could be changed. Upon receiving their resume, I explained to them in writing that it looked great...BUT that I was still reviewing it...carefully. Upon careful review...I found problems, which they fixed in addition to the color. After initially being "happy" with my corrected resume, and uploading it to job boards and sending it out...I found more serious problems...with the employment date formatting they had used. However, I only found this out AFTER the job board ATS read and published it...and I had double-checked what was actually showing up on the job boards. The specific issues with my resume were: • My resume too (like others reported) had typos that spellcheck didn't catch, suggesting poor proofreading or their English language skills aren’t up-to-par. A "DRAFT" resume from a professional resume writer should not have typos. Changes...Yes. Typos...No. • They poorly rewrote one job description. Their revision made no sense and suggests they didn’t understand what the original description meant. Again, the wording should have at least made sense in the draft resume...even if it needed changing. They are supposed to be professional resume writers. • They removed my technical skills section, claiming it was outdated (which it wasn't). A recruiter I have known for years was horrified when she heard they had done this....as for my role...technical skills DO matter and are searched on by recruiters. • The color scheme had thick, bright blue borders and lines, not geared to a business resume. • The employment dates were changed from month/year to year. Once I tried uploading the final resume to job boards…I found out that it messed the work experience sequence up when being read by ATS (which is what they were supposed to fix). Unless the month is specified, ATS perceives a year to be the first month of the year. I had two positions in 2020. By their using 2020 as the start and end date for both positions on the resume? They were both read by the ATS job boards as starting in January....which they didn't. Their failure to update employment dates correctly caused issues with ATS scanning. I am still fixing the job board uploads. Obviously I didn't know this could happen if dates were put in this way...but THEY should have known this. That's what they're selling...their professional resume writing...and their ability to make resumes ATS compatible. • They promised to improve ATS readability but failed to demonstrate any improvement after revisions…despite my asking them to rerun the report so that I could gauge the level of improvement. Funny how the respondent to this complaint omitted the fact that I had requested this and that they had refused to run it. So they reel people in by showing them a report of all their resume's supposed flaws...but then never rerun the report to show how they fixed those flaws. And then I found out subsequently that their fix caused a serious employment dates problem with the very ATS job boards they are charging me to successfully navigate. So of course I was no longer "happy" with them at that point. That's a no-brainer. • I had to redo my resume on all of the job boards I’d uploaded it to, due to critical errors. I must say that they made all the changes I caught/requested at the time...and that some aspects of the rewrite were quite good. However well-written content doesn’t matter much if a resume has typos and incorrect dates in it. That’s enough to land it in the NO pile. I have fixed my resume so that I can use it...and am STILL fixing the job boards I uploaded their version to. When presented with my negative review here...they deliberately took my emails out of context...completely omitting the fact that I had said I was still reviewing their work, and omitting the fact that I had also asked them for the resume assessment rerun. Overall, I can't recommend The Resume Writing Group. In my opinion...they're an expensive scam. I'm not going to fight with them to get the 150 I spent on the resume back. Nor am I going to fight with them to get the 50 back that I spent for them to post their version of my resume online for recruiters. Instead? I am warning others...who will check TrustPilot first like I did. Maybe they will be in the lucky 98% of satisfied customers...or maybe they'll be in the unlucky 2% like I and others were. I'm just glad that I subsequently thought to check the output of their resume on the job boards...where errors matter...and found the problem before I was damaged further by it.
