This was a great experience. Lesley was a joy to work with. She really transformed my resume and was responsive in any questions I had.
After completing the survey, where I gave an overall idea of my past experiences and highlighted what I wanted to emphasize, I was partnered with my writer. It was quite a pleasure working together, as I did learn a lot, along with having a tailored resume, which came with it a different look and perspective. My writer was kind, quick to respond, and worked late into night, despite having other things going on, which is expected with the price paid, but it is still nice to see, thank you.
My experience was wonderful. Very responsive and professional. I very much appreciated the final product.
The writer was quite, pleasant and very receptive to edits I had. I now have a new improved resume that I can customize as I need to.
I was very hesitant at first and skeptical. I can saw it an awesome experience. The team is very easy to communicate and responsive. This a wonderful experience and I would absolutely recommend the service
From the very start, Rebekah L. Was pleasant to work with. I feel her experience paired with my career description led to an excellent product to highlight my value and story. The cover letter was great, final resume was excellent and Linkdin development was efficient. Thank you.
My experience was satisfactory... my resume is not getting any responses from any employee fir an interview.
This was an absolutely amazing experience!
The process was helpful, and the result was Top Notch!
Well, Normally when you pay for something, you'd like to see a couple or a few options. The person who helped me is J ( because that's the only name I have to go by) I asked J to provide a different layout or design but J insisted that the layout and design of the resume is fine.
Thats okay, but If Im a paying customer and I ask for something to change and you tell me "no its fine like that" then where is the customer service.
Nevertheless, Thank you. I'll keep what I paid for and move on.
Thanks again
I paid for the expedited professional package, which was supposed to have a 2-3 day turnaround time. It ended up being closer to a week and a half, the LinkedIn portion (which I had highlighted as the most important aspect) was an after thought, and they tried to overcharge me.
The resume had some nice keywords but wouldn't make sense to anyone reading it from my industry and will have to largely be rewritten.
Very disappointing experience when so many people could benefit from the promised results in a Covid-19 economy. Avoid!
Their "professional" writer literally just scrambled up my resume and added in phrases that made absolutely no sense - for example added the phrase "and increased profitability" to several lines when the role was with a non-profit. They mixed up the duties and added them to random roles I had held creating factual and continuity errors. This service is just a total scam and is worth nowhere near what they are charging - they just take your original and rearrange it and add in some garbage that they are trying to pass off as keyword optimization. The result is exactly what you'd expect- unusable, poorly written trash.
I ended up putting well over 20 comments onto the resume for feedback, mostly just calling our grammatical errors, redundancies, nonsensical edits, and their addition of unsubstantiated claims. That doesn't even touch the stylistic issues - it read like it was written in another language and run through Google translate. The first draft was so bad that I don't even want to try the 2nd draft - what's the point if I have to re-write the whole thing for them?
I got an honest, unbiased opinion on my resume that I hope to improve for a better job search experience
I have been contacted and communicated with the staff from Top Resume and agreed to take the service with writing the Resume and Cover letter. After having the service with Top Resume, my reflections are as below:
Good communication
Good service
Good quality
My resume experience is one that is rewarding and exciting. I say this because each time that I go to another level in my career advance it is a rewarding an experience to see how I have learned and grown over the years with the skillsets and training from each employer that I have ever worked for in my life. Zelda was the second person and the writer of revising and revamping my second resume to carry me into my next big career move which I am very excited about. Zelda has capture my whole life Work History in multiple ways that I have never seen before in my life. You all have a Jewel on your Team! Have A Great And Wonderful Day.
The requested 48 hour service and faild complete on time. I ask for refund and told it was not posible.
Not impress with teh draft.
Once I received my updated resume and cover letter - I really began to receive calls and interviews. The next step is for me to sell myself since my wonderfully written resume opened the door. Highly recommend this service,
After receiving my resume, the format is amazing. I would've never thought to input a layout such as the layout that's on my new resume. It's a wow factor; my money was well spent. Thanks again!
I haven't heard back from applications yet, but the cover letter and resume looked very professional and nice to me. Here's hoping it helps me get interviews!
Please don't go for top resume services. They charged me 200USD and my resume is not at all worth it. Please take help from internet and do it by yourself.
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!
