( I DONT RECOMMEND THIS SERVICE)
I'm currently a fresh graduate who is preparing for a career start, I took this unprofessional company to help me but I was so disappointed. I filled up the application on May 6 and today is May 20 and till now no one has contacted me or send me anything. Till now I believe its a fraud because I still didn't get any service. 14 days have passed and they are still not responding. I have been using this service because I need to apply for a specific job which will expire on the 22nd of May.
Secondly, they BLOCKED ME from sending emails, and most importantly they don't get back to me. AND THEY STILL DIDNT SEND ANYTHING!
I STRONGLY DONT RECOMMENDED TOP RESUME AS A RESUME WRITING SERVICE, AND I NEED TO REFUND MY MONEY.
Not too many words, not too little! Said what i need to know and passed me all the spirit of how companies work more or less! S/He also have the understanding as i believe of the true value of knowledge! It is not a paper, it is a way of life. A thing i just love to do whether it has to do with my industry or with just Biology. I think i have one more motivation after seeing this one person talking with passion about the true value of knowledge that i lit my fire up to keep pushing because in my place, knowledge is only a paper where everyone hates the process but wants the rewards! You need to pass that spirit to the world and give more than just a Resume which was great! Give hope!
I was very happy with the outcome of my resume. I felt that the person I was paired up with did such a good job of receiving and giving constructive feedback. I would like to acknowledge Siobhan for all of her hard work.
The partner I had was truly amazing and had the best knowledge all around. They knew exactly how to word my experience and skills to set me aside from the crowd. I couldn't be any happier with my experience. Thank you again for the opportunity to work along side an amazing team.
Neil was great! The experience was smooth and the results were better than expected! I've already had 2 interviews as a result of my new resume, that's more than I've had in the past 6 months.
Tonya was professional and very nice. I enjoyed her input and I greatly appreciated her work for my resume.
I was very dubious about this experience going in, but after I saw how easy this was and how professional my documents looked, I have nothing but good things to say about my experience with TopResume! Working with Diane was very easy. She was responsive and listened to my feedback and gave me a lot of good things to think about. I would absolutely recommend this service to everyone
Was a little hesitant at first, but took a chance of having a Professional re-write my resume and the writer (Emily) did a terrific job! Acknowledged my input and the final document was clean and updated.
I knew that going through a resume writer would be a good idea, but I had no idea the level of confidence that it would give me when applying to positions! I know that I am a qualified and strong candidate, but using TopResume really made me feel like I could prove it before getting in front of an interviewer. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a new position.
I had a great experience. The rep I worked with was patient, professional and very open. She made sure I was satisfied with the work and any changes I needed was made possible. The whole experience was great.
TopResume staff was easy to do business with and a quick turnaround.
Maybe you guys should actually take the time to look up the job descriptions for your customers previous jobs instead of taking a bunch of "key words" and throwing them together on a resume. I paid $300 for this service and I could have had a better resume done completed free. The key words are in there yes, but the presentation is mediocre at best and I had to send numerous responses telling top resume, what was on the resume was not part of my previous job roles (as they were adding in "experience" that I did not have and certainly do not want to have) since it's not close to the field of work I want to be in or am already in. There are lots of run on sentences or sentences that are way too wordy for no reason at all but I guess that's the point of this service; to throw in a bunch of "key words" whether it makes sense with the content or not. I would say SAVE YOUR MONEY! It's not worth $300 it's not even worth $50!
I saw this as an investment in myself (initially) but sadly, it turned out to be the biggest waste of money. Very disappointing! I would advise anyone to save your money, it's not worth it!
Entire process was quick and easy. My resume looks great!
Do not use this company. I initially purchased a resume and a cover letter rewrite for over $200. Over the course of the next several weeks I received multiple drafts that were riddled with spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, not to mention blatant factual inaccuracies (one of the writers assigned to me inserted an ability to speak French into my cover letter, a language I never claimed to know). When trying to deal with TopResume customer service, I was delayed for over a week and lied to. I was told that due to my issues I was eligible for a full refund, then informed several days later that I would be receiving only a 30% refund or that I had the choice of taking a chance on yet another writer (I had gone through two writers at that point). This company promises a professionally-written resume written by experts that know your industry. I firmly believe that my resume was done by someone that has very little understanding of the English language itself, much less someone who understands what hiring managers in my industry look for. After reviewing the work that I received from TopResume with an independent hiring manager, I was informed that neither of the drafts I received would even pass the automatic elimination process, due to the abundance of errors and the lack of industry-specific key terms.
If you don't want to waste your money, don't give it to this company. They will not fully reimburse you no matter how poor the product that you receive is or how many errors it has. The work you will receive can be done far more cheaply (and more professionally) by a resource you can find on Fiverr.
Debbie was a treat to work with. She always responded to my emails within a few house--even when I sent them Dark O'clock in the morning. The changes she made to my resume and LinkedIn profile were very helpful and her writing is flexible enough that I can customize the documents for individual job announcements with only minimal work. Finally, HATE writing cover letters (blowing my own horn is anathema to all that I am). The letter Debbie drafted is great. It tells who I am and why someone should hire me without sounding like I am campaigning for political office. Better yet, the language of the letter is even more flexible than the resume so customization is a breeze. I rank Debbie as 11/10.
Very please with the outcome of my resume. I was able to communicate with my advisor one on one and they were very engaged and involved. Solid work concentrated on my resume, was able to capture all the key aspects that I was looking for. Worth it! If given the chance I would do it all over again.
I really liked the documents I received. The only downside, is the average time for response. It took more than 48 hours to received documents back after I sent revisions back to the staff..
Thank you for the free CV review. I love the honest and blunt feedback.
Thank you.
Very detailed feedback on what can be improved. It has commented on different aspects of my resume including presentation, wording, etc. It's very comprehensive
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: Hi Sandra, Apologies for the delay. Our customer support reps are always on and more response than we are on this review site! That being said, If you'd like to send us a direct message here or on our Facebook page, I can ensure that a customer support rep responds right away. To address your industry question, we have a network of hundreds of writers who specialize in a variety of industries and we can certainly match your order with a writer who has knowledge and experience in your field. If you have any other questions please feel free to email us at [email protected].
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!
