Wasted $200 on a resume writing service that just used a template
I paid a well-reviewed online service $200 to rewrite my resume for a marketing role. They sent back something that looked like it came from a free Canva template and had my old job descriptions barely rephrased. No ATS optimization, no custom cover letter, just generic fluff. Has anyone else gotten burned like this or is there a legit service out there that actually helps?

Read an article that said most resume services just run your info through an algorithm and change like 10% of the words. Sounds like you got the premium version of that. Some of the legit ones actually have a human writer that specializes in your industry and they ask for a video call first.

Those "specialized writers" you mentioned, any way to verify they're actually human and not just running a fancier algorithm?
