Looking for a job can feel like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle, but a great resume writing service can help you punch through the job hunting fog and make your resume sparkle like your daughter's princess tiara. A recent Forbes article tested top services, consulted experts, and found the best ones to help you land that dream job without pulling your hair out. Let's get to the good stuff!
Here are Five Fast Facts on the best resume services:
- 🥇 Resumeble Rules the Roost - Forbes named Resumeble the best overall resume writing service in 2025 because it nailed two ATS (Applicant Tracking System) tests and offers customizable packages ranging from $189 to (an admittedly jaw-dropping) $1,149. If resume services were a burger, you could pick McDonald's or Wagyu, but either way they'll make you a delicious burger!
- 👔 TopStack for Top Dogs - TopStack Resume is perfect for C-suite bigwigs, with packages from basic ($189) to blue-chip ($1,149/month personal recruiter option). Their resumes highlight things like “High-Impact Contributions,” making you sound like the workplace rockstar you are!
- 📝 TopResume Customization - TopResume's writers are certified in 65+ industries, so they know how to customize your resume for the job you want. Packages range from $179 to $599, with varying levels of guaranteed results. If you want loads of details included, TopResume is your top choice!
- 💬 Spicy for a Reason - ResumeSpice costs a hefty $589 for a pro resume (with even more pricy add-ons if you want them), but you get a phone call with a writer to spill all your career tea. It’s like paying for a VIP therapy session to make your resume pop!
- 💪 On A Budget - There are free resume services out there, too, the best of which is Resume.com. It's best for entry level workers and self-starters because it gives you loads of templates to choose from, but you're doing almost all the work yourself. Its integration with Indeed is a plus, too. To paraphrase the old marketing slogan: you can do it; we can help (but mostly you can do it!).
🔥Bottom line: Who knew writing a resume could be such a wild ride? The services above are like the cool kids in school, helping your resume stand out in a sea of boring fluff, but there are always options so pick the one that best meets your needs at the moment. Whether you’re aiming for a corner office or just trying to get your foot in the door, these services can make you look like a job-hunting superstar. So, ditch the stress, grab one of these pros, and let your resume do the talking, because landing a job shouldn’t feel like taming a lion.
