Affordable resume writing services that actually work? Recent grad on a budget!

[pitchperfect]

Recent marketing grad desperately seeking affordable resume writing services. Been job hunting for 3 months with zero callbacks... Current resume obviously isn't working, but most services I've found are $300+! Anyone found quality help that won't break the bank?

After lots of research for affordable resume writing, I tried CraftResumes. Their entry package was $129, included:

Professional resume writing
2 revision rounds
ATS optimization
Cover letter tips

Got 4 interview calls within 2 weeks after using their service!

@SableCat that's actually not bad! how long did the whole process take?

15 years in hiring here. When looking for an affordable resume writing service, don't just go for the cheapest option. Check if they:

Understand your industry
Use proper keywords
Format for ATS systems
Highlight achievements quantitatively

www.craftresume.com does all this without charging premium prices.

Quick reality check - tried one of those $50 services first (total waste). When you need affordable resume writing, focus on value, not just price. The writer from CraftResumes actually had marketing experience and knew how to present campaign results properly.

@pitchperfect here's my actual timeline with them:
Day 1: Submitted info
Day 3: Got first draft
Day 5: Requested some changes
Day 6: Final version ready

Been using the resume for 2 weeks now - already had 3 phone screens!

I've been following this thread closely, and I wanted to add that even though cost is a major factor for us recent grads, quality really matters. Sometimes an extra 10-15 bucks can mean the difference between a vague resume and one that genuinely stands out. Has anyone here tried customizing their own resumes with feedback from professionals instead of opting for a full-blown writing package?

Hey everyone! I jumped into this forum because I'm on a similar journey—just finished my bachelor’s and need a polished resume. I’m hearing that resumewritinglab's resume services have a decent reputation on a budget. I’m curious about your experiences: do they offer any sort of revision or follow-up if the resume doesn’t get results?
