Member benefit withTopStack Resume
4.9/5 · Google Reviews

Get a resume that gets read.

Many employers screen applications with software before a person reads them, and a template looks like every other one. TopStack pairs you with a real U.S.-based resume writer, and you only pay once you've seen the first draft.

Free to join. No fee, no card, no time limit.

Applied, never heard back

You hit send, and nothing comes back.

You rewrote the cover letter. You checked the resume three times. You applied before the deadline. Then nothing: no reply, no rejection, just silence. Often a resume never reaches a person at all, because the screening software couldn't read it, or it looked like every other template in the pile.

You get an ATS-ready resume written around you, not a template.

You pay nothing to join College Life, and nothing to TopStack until you've seen your first draft.

College Life is the global club for young internationals; for everyone bold enough to move abroad. We've been there. It's never smooth sailing; especially solo. So we built a club where the brands worth saving for show up with exclusive benefits, just for members.

No newsletters you didn't ask for. No selling your data. Just a community of people who've been through some version of the same thing. And a stack of benefits they actually use.

College Life is run by Kristian Voldrich, founder and managing director, from Barcelona. This benefit comes from the club's partnership with TopStack Resume, the U.S. company founded by Steve Marcum in North Carolina, agreed directly with their team.
