We monitor reviews for authenticity
Stay clear! Total waste of my time & money. As many other users have stated below ( see all the 1 star reviews) the time table presented was never met, the writer I was matched up with did not know my industry, misspelled words and used UK English spelling for others, made grammatical errors and used run on sentences etc, etc... over all a week after my comments I finally got a generic email with a second version as bad as the first. This was the Executive package! Had to find another service. Customer service informed me that the service is "non refundable" so make sure you read all the reviews before you find yourself in our shoes... don't just walk away, run!
Cv will not arrive unless you chase it. When it does the information will have to be checked as the errors are more than in abundance.
Conned isn't the word.
They charge the money, slow and tardy response. At the end they digest your money with explanation that the time has ended. They are Fraud, be careful!
I have quite a lot of experience however I wasn't receiving any interviews, after having a free resume review now I realise why I haven't received anything
I was connected with a very talented writer who listened and understood my needs. I went from getting "thanks, but no thanks" form letters from automated services, to getting interviews then a great offer within three weeks.
When I clicked the "yes" button to submit my resume for review, I fully expected to receive canned garbage about formatting, grammar, and word choices. What I received instead, a well written and radically candid review of my resume. While I truly wanted to, due to recent financial situations, I could not opt to have the company write me a new resume. However, the feedback given helped me to write a better resume that attracts the right employers to me and helps me show potential employers why I'm a great candidate. I know this because, after rewriting, I have seen a 35% increase in profile and resume views on job sites! I have also had more employers looking at my resume twice or more. Only 17% of candidates are reviewed more than once. This was a fabulous use of my time and a great investment. When I'm able, I fully intend to utilize the service to have the best possible resume written for me!
Service is bad and don't provide good resume. This resume writing service is actually a front for a con job.
This resume writing service is actually a front for a con job.
In actuality most of the reviews are fake and the people doing the reviews are stilling in another county using a false names. Needless to say, there is no value add and most people are duped in with 5 star reviews, which themselves are fake.
I have never been taught how to write a good resume or gotten any pointers so this is perfect for people like me. I was surprised to get detailed notes and insight, never having used this before. It's worth it, you cant just "wing it" on your resume. They really help you advertise yourself better.
Hired this service for an executive style resume, uploaded my current resume and information for the writer. Once the 1st draft was received I found a flaw for revision in a section and questioned it. The writer responds with: (Well that's the way you have it on your current resume)? Seriously? I paid you for a premium service and you have no ability to take the initiative to fix something that was already wrong on the current resume? What am I paying you for? I received a reworked resume that was designed behind a template that anyone can download online! Don't waste your money for a plagiarised template is all you will get. Cheaper for you to online search the template that you like and do it yourself. I have submitted their resume design and been turned down 5 times already, not even an interview.
In one word PERFECT.
I could not believe what K. Has done with my old fashioned CV.
I was in a lot of stress getting my cover letter done in English and my CV as well.
Finally found this trustworthy company TOPRESUME, and after chatting on line with a kind gentleman, I was convinced they would help me.
Today I got both documents and I am so happy! I could not have done this by myself.
Op Resume is a total scam. An absolute ripoff. They take an extremely long time to deliver anything and what they deliver are the most generic, poor quality and inaccurate materials. They don't properly respond to feedback or complaints; won't issue refunds; and do not deliver what they promised. Stay away from them.
I tried to get them to make good on their commitment to rewrite my resume after the first draft was not helpful. They asked for additional details of how/what I was searching for. That was 14 days ago and I have not heard back from them. At this point I assume I have been scammed.
Also, I took their final product, resubmitted it into their site for review and... SURPRISE, the website said I need editing and THEY could help!
SCAM!
This business is a joke. First they bill me in USD for a purchase from their Australian site resulting in overcharging me about $100. Then the "writer" they assigned to me does such a bad job that the first draft is so bad it's not acceptable. There were incorrect dates for roles, incorrect job titles, position descriptions copied from previous roles that were totally wrong and many other mistakes. When I ask for assistance to fix the billing error and also the unacceptable draft nothing happens. Eventually after raising a dispute with my bank I am told that no further work can be done until the bank dispute is resolved. In the meantime I am having to use an old resume to apply for some great roles. Three months later, several weeks after the bank dispute is resolved, I contacted by topresume to see what they need to do. Overall this is by far the worst business I have had the horror (NOT honour) to interact with. I strongly recommend using an alternative company to topresume as they are crap.
I haven't got my CV written by them but I got their review on my current CV. The review was specific and gives some logical insightful direction for re-writing it. But other peoples review is not making me any interested to get written my CV by them. So, as their review was good, i gave them 3 star on the basis of this.
Very helpful tips on overall resume presentation and keywords. Looking forward to results. Getting more traction with employers is going to feel great
I received the review very quickly, it was very helpful, clear, consiece, with examples and explanations. Emily even followed up to get my thoughts on it. Amazing service :) thank you
While TopResume's "Free Review Offer" provides a great bait at to hook eventual client,
The second phase is far away from useful. The ratio Quality/Price cannot be worst. How can I trust a company to review professional documents when the writers communicate in a doubtable English, and expressed limited abilities to really understand the job market
Needs? How can anyone can rate their service as excellent unless it is possible
To verify their true identity of past clients? I sense that they used general
Guidelines and relevant information available online to rewrite curriculum vitaes.
The best word to describe their level of competency is amateurism. Unless you

Pulled me in for $279, great "resume review" bait and then I ordered the $279 package they delivered a fake job history and fake skills. I have been battling them for months trying to get my refund.
Their resumes are re-written by people overseas using information in OTHER peoples resumes.
It is amazing how a company like this can actually be in business and exist, it is a complete fraud. Look at their reviews, 99% are negative.
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!
