Dave Baron
"I have to say, dealing with Troy was an absolute pleasure. I would highly recommend Steel Man Resumes to anyone who is looking to clean up and bring up-to-date their old outdated resumes. Troy's turnaround getting my resume cleaned up and back to me was absolutely astonishing. Not to mention jaw dropping after I saw what he did and how it looked after he completed it. Thank you very much Troy for everything."
Troy's response:
"Thank YOU Dave! It was my pleasure working with you. Don't forget to call me back if you need anything else... I got your back!"

"Steel Man Resumes has helped me with The Forge and Refinery settings. Turned my resume from a bland resume and gave it life. They used the Steel Man approach and got me back into the workforce after years of gaps and helped me explain my situation in the best possible way. I recommend it for anybody who wants to upgrade their resume or try to change their future."
Troy's response:
"Berto! My friend! I'm so glad you're happy with the work we did... Really, you did the hard part. I'm very proud of you. Call me directly if you need ANYTHING... My phone's always on for you."
