I am very satisfied with my resume!
November 1, 2019

I am very satisfied with the detail that my reviewer gave to my resume. She did an awesome job in the appearance and everything and would totally recommend her to anybody that is looking to have the resume professionally done. I have been wanting to have this done for years because I felt my resume was just too long and I was getting nowhere when it came for looking for another job. Now that my resume has been professionally done I am getting all kinds of replies on my job sites. Great job top resume! You guys are wonderful!

Too expensive for canned letters
November 1, 2019

The first cover letter I received back was absolutely ridiculous and said nothing about me. It could have been for anyone. It looked like they went through a dictionary and picked out the biggest words and used them in a sentence. When I inquired why, they said it was because I have a Masters degree. The second letter was much better with some personalization, but still not impressed for the money charged. They never even spoke to me to get to know me at all. Never do this service again.

My resume was pretty poorly put together, and there were a lot of things that I noticed that were a result of pure laziness and lack of proofing. For a company that offers this type of service, that's unacceptable.

It's really a shame that there was such a good-quality and in-depth free resume review, which prompted me to purchase a resume package, as I assumed the quality would be of the same caliber. I was very wrong.

The first mistake was, at the very top of my resume, my last name was spelled incorrectly. That's a pretty huge misstep already. I couldn't believe it.

There were also some other things improperly written, such as a course that I had taken in University and had on my original resume - which was transferred improperly. ("Communicating Climate Change" vs. "Commuting Climate Change"; the first is what it should have been, the second is what they wrote). Come on, really? People are paying top dollars for this service and you're not even going to bother checking over your work before sending it to a client? Unbelievable.

There were design changes I did not like, and noted them in my response back to my writer. I had asked a few questions in my follow-up email, none of which were responded to, and not all of my changes were put in place. I didn't even bother with a second email to my resume writer because I had spent AN HOUR writing out a very in-depth response to the first one, just to get it back with a few tweaks and no actual response to my questions.

Overall, I am very dissatisfied with what I received, for the amount of money I paid especially. I would not recommend this service whatsoever. I got WAY more value out of the free resume review than I did after paying $200 CAD. Maybe review and vet your writers better next time, and review the quality of their work (and responses) to your clients.

Before my resume was reviewed by TopResume, my resume had been reviewed by some career specialists and IT recruiters. TopResume provided more critical advice that encouraged me to renew my resume from a new format, and I am very happy with my new resume which is easier to read and better looking and focuses on what employers want to see.

Content-wise, the initial feedback is like any other resume service. However, what distinguished your evaluation was that the initial review included an ATS-screening component. I don't know how applicable your assessment it is because there are several 'flavors' of ATS-screening systems based on the specific industry and seniority level, so have to assume that it could be valid.
