My resume received lots of attention. More attention than I have ever received when job searching. I do like how qualified the writer made me look on paper.

I was very happy with the outcome of my resume. It looked professional, updated, and my writer answered every question I had in timely manner. I feel so much better about presenting this resume to recruiters, and it was totally worth the money. Highly recommend!

You will be parted from your money and receive NOTHING of value in return. This is a scam. Especially if you are assigned to resume writer Kierra, run the other way.

She took my information, wrote a one-page resume that had little to do with my background, and then ignored my emails asking for a follow-up. If I had the time, I would seek redress, but I have just written it off.

Surprisingly Excellent
October 7, 2023

In the highly specialized field that I work in, I was expecting to have to edit much of the resume that Melissa wrote for me i order to tailor it for my field. However, it was apparent from my first draft that she had done her homework. Her attention to details, great use of terminology, structure, quick response, and flexibility in scheduling made for a very pleasant experience.
I now have a resume that I'm proud of, and has all the most updates should I ever need to use it in the near future. Thank you.

Andrea did an amazing job revamping my resume. She really focused my resume on the skill set I wanted to put forth to focus on the positions I am looking for. She did a wonderful job of preparing a professional resume that stands out to company's and I am more confident applying for positions I really want with the resume and cover letter she provided. I love that they are all editable so can customize them for each employer while keeping the basic structure. Andrea was very quick to respond to all my requests and I would highly recommend this service to everyone.

With the way job searching goes these days any feedback at all should be considered constructive and help gain perspective. They had me feeling sorry for myself when I first read the review but after my pity party I realized the truth in their review and decided to change the way I play the game. Thanks for opening my eyes to the way Human Resource Managers/Head Hunters and Recruiters want things done.

I signed up for their service. Several days later I received an email letting me know it was delayed. Then I received another email, apologizing for the delay.

At this point, I requested a refund. Suddenly, my draft arrived. By this time, I wanted nothing to do with the company as it seemed unprofessional and a bit "scammy."

Now they're refusing to refund the money and claiming they delivered on time, despite the initial emails apologizing for it being delayed.

There are other service out there... Use them!

This has been the worst experience i had with any company.
They do not respond to calls or emails properly, i never received my resume only keep getting excuses back or they resend the same email stating it will be sent soon.

I will get a refund back,

Dont waste your time or money this is by far the worst company i had ever dealt with.

If you take a look at Top Resume's reviews on the BBB (https://www.bbb.org/us/ny/new-york/profile/resume-services/topresume-0121-*******/complaints#*******) you will see a trend in complaints by customers for poor quality. Many of them complain at how much money they spent $300+ for their resume service only to get back documents with errors. The reason this is so is because Top Resume collects $200-300+ per order but only pays their writers $20-25 depending upon if it is a resume only or resume and cover letter package. It can often take 2 hours or more to complete the resume when you take into consideration the revision period and how many revisions clients often request. At that price point, writers feel rushed in order to crank out enough resumes to make a living. It is frustrating because the clients have no idea how poorly the resume writers are treated and take all of their frustration out on them. If Top Resume wants to remain in business and provide a quality service, they should at least be paying $75 to $100 per and you can guarantee that the quality of work provided is going to be so much better for your customers.

Wording matters
March 21, 2019

I am an executive and had hired many professionals I know how resumes can be vary mainly among different age groups, When I asked top resume to provide an assessment I was really impressed on how simple word changes had a positive impact in my resume and helped me to deliver the right message to recruiters.
