Terrible Service
January 5, 2020

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.

Doesn't Get any Worse
December 30, 2019

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.

Fraud
December 27, 2019

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 Gardener did a great job!
December 26, 2019

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!

Amazing writing skills
December 22, 2019

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.

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.

Very Helpful & Eyeopening
December 20, 2019

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!

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
