They were very detailed. Very professional business helping other achieve their goals! Thank you!
It was fast, and my reviewer was honest. Thank you.
Great overview of resume. Will utilize recommendations
My experience with TopResume has been pretty negative so far. I've used a couple of different Resume sites over the years, and TopResume has been the worst. I paid for the "Executive package", so I expected better service than what I received. The questions they ask you at the beginning of the process are pretty generic and don't ask you for any specific details about your job, which is essential for a strong resume. Furthermore, when I tried to provide the writer with additional details, the writer was highly unresponsive, which again for $400 I expect better. After waiting for a very long time with hardly any response, I contacted customer service to request a new writer. I was then met with more unprofessionalism from the customer care unit. At this point, I just requested a refund, and they advised me that they will be charging me a $100 cancellation fee. I didn't even get a resume and they are charging me $100 for nothing basically. For those of you that are looking for better service, I would recommend ResumesCanada and Find My Profession. They may be a little bit pricey but at least they actually do their job.
What can I say other than the resume I received was laughed at by a number of reviewers and two recruiters told me that it looked dated, convoluted and hifalutin. I was told by a number of people that it was unprofessional looking and hard to read. Stay away from TopResume. They are a group of people out to make money on those that really need help. I felt like I was getting kicked off a lifeboat. When I had a problem, it took them over a week to decide if they could help and ultimately they said we can't give you any type of refund, but we will re-write the resume for you. Really?! Stay away from TopResume. They should be called BottomResume.
Had a resume sent to this so-called "resume writing service" and paid the initial $150 fee to have my resume updated. Received what was supposed to be an updated version riddled with spelling errors, typos, and a format looking like an elementary school student produced. Very shoddy work! Opened a BBB complaint against them, but somehow TopResume.com slimed/slithered their way out of it. Do not utilize these people! They are a fraud. Considering contacting the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General.
Emily is very observant, and gives great advice. Unfortunately, I am unemployed right now, so $150 to rewrite my resume correctly is a bit tough. Catch 22, huh? LOL! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

I was very pleased with the result, my resume looks more professional now.
I am consistently busy at work and the thought of having to re-write my own resume sounded too time-consuming. Alvin B. From TopResume helped me by writing out an amazing resume that reflected everything that I needed in my resume regarding event coordinating. I would highly recommend TopResume to anyone.
It was put together well and has great format. They put great effort into this product for me. I can't wait to see where I cant wraith tostart my new job.
Could not be happier. Not many words needed; the value was immense. If you are on the fence about using this firm, take the plunge.
I was satisfied with the effort my writer put in to help me with my resume. The cover letter was well done also.
Just like the title says, a complete scam. Please don't trust those 5 star reviews. The writer just copied and pasted another CV which was still riddled with grammatical errors. I complained and they said they weren't going to give me a refund. I then told them I had a few friends who worked a few blocks away from them in a law firm in NYC and were more than happy to take down this sham of a company and suddenly I got my money back.
I attached the cover letter. You can do a quick Google search and see that it's a copy and paste.
I indeed aways felt so strongly about the material I produce. So even my initial resume I was stern was the best. Until you guys came along and humbled as well as guided me on a new way to transform my resume into something so much more! The experience has taught me that less with the right amount of words is more! I can apply that to real life as well. Thank You!
The response was quick, the questions were precise and the result was success.
My long list of resume bullet points were organized and portrayed in a new resume concept in far less time than I could do it myself. Cover letter and Linded-In profile were also updated - worth the $250
Easy to use and great feedback! I definitely take into considerations the comments provided. Appreciate the time taken.
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.
