They dealt with any queries I had in a timely manner and my writer maintained a high degree of professionalism throughout the order
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!
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.
Hi Greg, we understand you are in contact with our Customer Care team at [email protected]. Should you like to have your documents revised, we will pair you with a new writer and expedite your changes as quickly and effectively as possible.
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.

My assigned writer was excellent to work with and was responsive and worked in a timely manner. My resume only needed 2 revisions.
The process was fast, professional, and easy all done over the internet with zero contact or concerns.
Top resume was quick and did a quality job in re-writing and formatting my resume!
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.
I need assistance with my resume and they delivered! The suggestions were very helpful!
I encourage anyone who is looking to step up their resume start here!
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!
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!

The writer was very patient with my adjustments and considerate of my opinions and questions when building my resume. Great job!
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.
I had a great experience with TopResume. They have done a good job and turn the work in timely manner. However in building linkedin profile they have to guide more over the phone.
Does very well with organizing your resume and listens and makes the changes you ask for. Very nice to work with.
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).
Consistent and smooth process, rapid response to revisions. Well done.
Answer: It depends, if you want to pay for a mediocre format riddled with errors that has the language equivalent of a high-schooler. You will end up paying $100 for something you could have sat down and done in an hour and a half.
Answer: Hi Carolyn, Thanks for asking! The process will begin with a questionnaire. If after you submit the questionnaire, the writer has follow-up questions, the writer will reach out.
Answer: Be careful with this company. They post 1000s of fake reviews to hide the real ones. Note that they do not post their phone number or address on the website. I had to file with the BBB to get a refund after never being contacted. This is a SCAM company - you are better off writing your own resume, trust me on this
Answer: You will not get your money refunded, no matter how bad the result is. I tried.
Answer: Because this company is a sham. Please do not waste your money. There are plenty of reputable services that you can use.
Answer: I second that, Alex! This service is a sham! I've been assigned 3 different writers and have received a subpar product back each time, written by someone who's first language is clearly not English. The best part, I paid $100+ for a "LinkedIn Rewrite" and this was where the writer copied and pasted their version of my resume into the boxes for LinkedIn. You've got to be kidding me... Don't waste your money!
Answer: I am on month two and still have not received a finalized document. Currently, I've gone through 3 different writers and still do not have a usable document. My original resume, cover letter and LinkedIn are far better products than what I've received from TopResume. If you are thinking of using this service, please PASS. It has been a tremendous waste of my resources: time and money. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Don't waste your money. All of these "reviews" are probably fake. I actually paid them $189 and never even got a usable resume. Find a better company. These guys are crooks!
