The worst experience!
January 7, 2021

Was open for suggestions on updating resume. Resume writer basically cut my resume in half, which again I was fine with given my experience. His cut and paste job, did not match up achievements and jobs. Pointed out to writer on portal, and cut canned responses, but nothing about my direct input. Customer Care is a chat bot, nothing else. Been waiting days for a response! Don't waste your hard earned money here! Complete waste!

Destroyed my Resume
January 7, 2021

After rewriting my resume, I showed it to 3 local recruiters. They said it was terrible. TopResume wants to rewrite "until they get it right." Sorry -- TopResume doesn't get a second chance. They will not give me a refund on this screw job. I do NOT recommend them.

My original resume was very plain yet filled with (tiny print) text. Emily at TopResume really helped bring my attention to what potential employers would see when looking at my resume, and I was able to update it to make it much more effective!

I wish I had read the real bad reviews and not the glossy obviously fake one before wasting my money on a very poorly structured and looking resume and much worst cover letter. They dont let you know when you pay that the service has a very tight deadline. I managed to give 3 rounds of notes within hours or receiving each results, my notes were detailed and many were not implemented. I cannot use any of the docs they prepared. The cover letter english was very poorly written and would make anyone look unprofessional. I requested a refund and based on what I read here am doubtful I will get it. I cant believe they are in business, Probably because of suckers like us.

Somewhat satisfied
December 4, 2020

It was a bit of a shock to be bluntly told that to gain work, I should focus on retail. I loved working as a filing clerk, and I loved the challenge of improving my own work schedule and time management. For me personally, I would still like to keep looking at potential jobs other than retail.

Resume rewrite experience
December 2, 2020

I had a good resume rewrite experience with my writer Paul where over a couple of week period he provided a draft based on questions I had answered along with additional correspondence. He we open to feedback and questions I had after reviewing the first drafts of my resume and it's now a resume I'm proud to start using as I'm looking for my next career challenge. Overall it has been a good experience and I look forward to it paying dividends in a new career.

Jeremy did a great job with my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn page. He was very thorough, and made sure to cover my accomplishments. He was very open with me to make sure that we were on the same page before a final draft. Would definitely use them again!

SCAM
January 1, 2021

Do not pay them a dime. Not professional, do not know to write a resume. They will inundate your email with tens of emails insisting and convincing you to pay them because they will 'guarantee' you the CV you are looking for. They sent me a template of CV and a cover letter downloadable for free from another website.Do not fall for them. Such companies should not exist!

Professional Resume Experience
December 1, 2020

I had a resume with several different job titles and geared towards many directions. The TopResume expert took my information and provided me with an easy to read goal oriented resume which any hiring manager could quickly read and determine my qualifications for the job. I also purchased the LinkedIn and phone call. The TopResume expert provided me with easy to build LinkedIn profile and by the time we had our phone call, there was not much to discuss. Great experience! I would recommend TopResume to anyone that wants to get their resume cleaned up and polished for their future job.

Great, fast service
December 1, 2020

I engaged TopResume to redo my resume, create a cover letter, and to redo my LinkedIn page. They promised to have an initial draft of my resume completed in a week, and I received the first draft within 2 days. I submitted questions and suggested changes twice within 4 days, and had the final copy of my resume completed on day 6. Very impressive. A day after completing my resume, I had the cover letter and text for the LinkedIn profile the very next day. I was very impressed with the service. While there were no official typos, in some cases there were some minor issues I needed to modify. This was minor and I was very happy with the results. I'm using them to create two different resumes for me in addition to the first (for different industries).
