I was extremely nervous to invest in the upgrade for what was necessary. I agreed my resume was underwhelming and that wouldn't work. My writer, Cindy R is very professional and patient! Her efficiency to ensure what modifications were needed was spot on. I understood my resume needed a facelift and grateful for it. Top Resume is the best! Thank you!
My overall experience with the resume writing service was great. It also gave me insight on what a "current and up to date" well written resume should have written in it.
The resume writer partnered closely with me to understand my background and skill set. Helped me update my resume to reflect my strengths. She also helped me create my narrative in my linkedin profile. The turn around time was very quick.
Easy Breezy. William C. Did the work creating a great Resume and Cover Letter for me. I made a few tweaks and, it was done.
This organization is a scam. My first resume was obviously thrown into a computer and they sent me what came out. I don't think anyone proofread the document. It had listed my job qualifications as Administrative in numerous places but this was for a Managerial position! Even the second submission has this listed:
Key Accomplishment:
Improved workflow efficiency and mitigated risks by taking preventive / corrective actions against violations.
It says nothing about what I accomplished, no numbers or real results and what does 'corrective actions against violations' even mean? I am not going for a prison guard job!
Very blunt, no sugar coating; that is fabulous. I love it because it's not about getting offended, but getting educated. I was highly educated by a highly educated professional.
I got a bad writer who wrote an embellished resume with things I don't even do. I am a salesmen, and he made me look like a customer service representative. I tried to get a refund and the company said they don't give them, but I could get a replacement senior writer. Going on, I said to go ahead and switch me to a senior writer, but it hasn't been done. Moreover, the initial writer keeps sending me letters towards changing my mind, which I don't want to do. He won't go away or listen to my request for a senior writer. I am probably going to get with my credit card company if I don't get results. This whole situation sucks!
Good experience, satisfied with quality and quick response
I had a great experience with TopResume and recommend their services to anyone.
The writer was very nice and understanding. She stated everything that was going on, and encouraged me to give opinions about it. Very satisfied!
Loved working with Top resume, great service. Its convenient and quick plus easy communication with the Resume Writer. Great stuff! And highly recommended
Great job highly recommend for resume rewriting! Very professional and quick response.
I ordered the phone consultation, I feel, allowed the writer assigned to me to really draw out my goals and translate it into a very positive resume that represents me well.
Nice to see the elaborated advice. I am be thinking of my mistakes and would review again to high light the advised fields.
Thank you so much for your help me and support new experience to me for revised version of Resume
This service was recommended by someone who used several years ago. I needed an update and decided to use as my time was limited. I was pleased with initial response and time frame 7 days. I was not pleased with the result. Despite several attempts and a new writer assigned, the quality of what I received as well as the format was far below my expectations and standards. I felt like a teacher correcting a student assignment. Initially I was going to have them update my LinkedIn as well, but a big NO on that. They also refused to credit me for LinkedIn revision for which no work had been done. Since they did attempt the resume and put time in, I did not push for a refund for the poor resume, but I will dump it, not worth sending out.
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!
