Thank you so much Rebekah! I am looking forward to applying to jobs with my re-vamped resume!
Excellent, the finished resume was an exceptional piece of work.
Overall a good experience. I am not sure if package with LinkedIn would be worth the full price, but I got a discount and thus it felt ok. Is everything else worth it? I think yes. I can't say for sure whether it will land me a new job in a month, but having a professionally written resume and cover letter helped me understand how to present myself in the future. If I will be able to implement that knowledge - then it's definitely worth it.
Better to connect the call to discuss in detail, unfortunately, it does not happen but anyways I got what expected after many days.
Good, excellent suggestions for improvement - will try on my own to make suggested improvements. I may need more help, do you have it available?
The review was insightful, and I'll be taking on board some of the recommendations.
I finally broke down and paid over $300 to have my resume professionally redone. The layout is okay but quite frankly I would love to compare mine to others as I think they use the same formats over and over.
In general, I am appalled at the result. The entire thing looks like a focus group meeting with general words and phrases thrown about in a hap hazard fashion. Much of the detail has been removed and replaced with general terms, none of which are in job postings I apply to. Do not walk away... RUN.
Also, do not be fooled by the lack of an Order ID or other evidence of my purchase, they never gave me an order number due to a typo in an email address. Any messages sent to them take weeks to answer.
I used TopResume to write a professional resume to increase my chances of landing the job that I want and the resumes that their so called experts wrote were horrible, unprofessional and scored very low in resume scoring software that is used by employers.
When will I learn to read reviews before purchasing? I did it spur of the moment. It is very obvious that the person who wrote my new CV doesn't have native English and isn't a writer. Full of grammaticals, typos, very old fashioned font and a lot of it doesn't make sense and wasn't provided in the info I gave them. Save your money. The positive reviews on here are either crazy or bots or paid for. Thank god I only ordered the bare minimum of the CV and not the cover letter and LinkedIn profile they were pushing for.
I have my final version of my resume and they writer did a great job of taking my original resume, asking me questions and getting the information they needed to produced a better version of my resume...
It was an ok process. Just had an issue waiting on a response back but that was ok.
I want sure what to expect but after I filled out the form I waited the time frame given and Right on time received my resume. I thought their would be a lot of bank and forth with edits but to be honest only a couple of tweaks. I am so excited to show this bad boy off and how it highlights my accomplishments.
Nicole did a wonderful job! She was very prompt with my revisions.
It was easy working work person assigned to rewrite resume, hoping it does get me interviews as stated
They need to hire resume writers who can spell. They have completely murdered my resume and i am now left with a premium wallpaper of text. And apparently there is no refund policy? I will be taking this up with ACCC for sure.
Very professional review of my resume suggesting strategy and opinion on how to improve more! I recommend!
Because they ranked as one of the top companies in the country I decided to hired them to do my resume and cover letter for $189 dollars. #1 they claim that a writer will contact you within 7 business days and I wasn't contacted until 11 days, they send you an email saying your writer it's on the way. Half way through the week flag number one for me. #2 After the writer contacted me Ashely O. To tell me within a couple of days you get your first draft. Once I received my first draft, I replied with the necessary changes and modifications and the writer went dark on me for another 4 days and I was force to contact customer service. Then i was contacted my Ashley O. Within 3-4 hours saying she'll be very soon in contact with me, flag number 2 for me. #3 Ashley O. Send me my second draft a couple of days after with very minor modifications, very generic language and didn't follow the directions I provided simple things such as Orientation of the content of my resume on the left, changing the fonts, and not repeating so much the same descriptive words on all my different jobs experiences, flag number 3 for me. After debating with myself, I came to the conclusion that I didn't hired the best company to do my resume so I call customer service and requested my cancellation and refund and which they told me within a week I would get it finalized; that means they are going to review your request not to process your refund. I started on July 2nd 2020 and on July 24th today I receive an email saying that they can only refund me 30% of my $189 dollars for something I could of done myself. Conclusion, this is a company very good at marketing themselves online to lure clients but when it comes to pairing you up with a professional writer good luck. Just that consumers out there know, I contacted the FTC and reported them and plan to let others know about to be very aware with this company. On a better note, I contacted www.Ihire.com and within 5 business days not only the writer kept in constant contact with me but finalized my resume and couldn't be any happier; it's other companies that not only want your money out there thanks God but your satisfaction and customer experience as well.
First, I submitted my resume for the free evaluation. The feedback was "I was under-selling myself"; which was very true. I decided to go with the top package because I have not touched my LinkedIn in years. After I submitted, it was a few days for them to find someone to help with my line of work. The first resume was really good, but we needed to clarify somethings. I was able to talk to my writer via video chat. He was very professional and listened to my "stories" rather than just tweaking the stuff on the page. After that the resume was perfect! I applied to a few major companies and had 2 interviews in a week. Totally recommend!
Prompt, efficient and professional service. My feedback was taken into consideration at the review intervals and incorporated into the final resume.
Tara was an excellent writer, taking my old resume and turning it into something professional, maximizing my qualities and strengths in a unique and peculiar way.
The attention at all times was friendly and professional, solving every question along the way. Definitely an excellent job
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!
