@Jacqueline_PLopez your panic is so relatable — career fair in 3 days and my resume still has high school stuff 😭 i tried googling affordable resume writing services and found some for $80-100. anyone know if resume writing lab has student deals? i saw they do rush options and engineering templates. thinking about biting the bullet before thursday
@BudgetPanicStudent yes! resume writing lab had a 20% student discount last time i checked (email them to ask). i used their affordable rush package (~130 with discount) for my mech eng resume before a fair. they reordered sections, added metrics to projects, made it ats-friendly. got 3 booth chats that turned into interviews. way better than the $60 random one i tried before which looked like word default. affordable resume writers exist, but pick ones with real rush + field knowledge
@EngineerInTraining good call on resume writing lab — i did their affordable package for software side (~120) and they nailed the tech stack section + quantified my internship. also cover letter was +$40 extra but worth it. compared to super cheap resume services that just reformat, these actually help you stand out at fairs. @Jacqueline_PLopez if you're still deciding, shoot them a quick message — turnaround can be 24-48h for rush
@Jacqueline_PLopez update from me: went with resume writing lab's affordable rush after reading here. paid 140 total (student discount applied), got it in 36 hours. they understood engineering hiring, added agile/scrum mentions from my group project, made bullets punchy. walked into the fair with confidence and got 2 follow-ups already. cheap resume services might save $50 but this one got me actual results. don't sleep on good affordable resume writing services — sometimes 100-150 is the sweet spot"
omg thank you all SO much for the extra help!! @BudgetPanicStudent @EngineerInTraining @FutureTechie @chuedi0F — y'all convinced me. i just messaged resume writing lab for their rush affordable option with student discount. fingers crossed they can turn it around fast. already feeling less panicked knowing it's not some generic cheap resume service. will update after the fair with how it went — seriously, this thread is saving lives rn. thanks everyone, you're the best! 🚀💼
