Had received my resume back from another company and was not happy with the result, decided to go with TopResume to see if they could assist in sending my resume in the right direction. Loved the process and you're keeping very close contact with your writer at all points through out the process and they asked the right questions, and with that got me a result worth the money with a higher response rate to get a better job

Insightful, helpful review and suggestions. The final product was a masterpiece pitched at the perfect level - not too over-powering, not too basic.

After being disappointed by another resume writing firm, I paid for Top Resume. The results were even better than I expected. My resume has such a clean and bold appearance. And, without dishonesty, my professional experience is presented in terms I would not have used. My satisfaction with the Top Resume writer assigned to me could not have pleased me more. Highest recommendation.

I found TopResume on a government job website offering free resume critique. However, their critique was more insightful and better written than the first grade resume draft they sent me today (I think they had real professional writer write my resume critique) I honestly don't believe that they can improve on the first draft they send me. And as they polished up these reviews, I'm sure most people won't get to see this real review. I paid $300 for a resume, cover letter and online posting, to TopResume the snake oil merchants.

Resume had not been updated in many years! We was kind of leary of doing it on line but that was all dispelled by how professional the reviewer was and the excellent way she probed with great questions. Thanks for an awesome looking resume!

Quick response from writer on initial version and subsequent edits. Resume looks professional and does a better job of highlighting key accomplishments than my old one did. Included everything that I asked and format is flexible enough that I can do some tweaks to tailor it to specific positions on my own. Have yet to receive any interviews after using it but I think it was a good investment nonetheless.

I hadn't updated my resume in over ten years, and it was definitely time for a refresher. I was impressed with the professionalism, the personal touch, the ease of communication and the efficient completion of my resume. It was completed even BEFORE the deadline. I would use their services again, and I would definitely recommend that you check them out if you are considering using a service like this.

I have already seen the benefit when applying to on line job applications. Amazing how the writer was able to condense my old resume into three effective and eye catching pages to read.

I have done my own resumes for years and wanted and upscale version. I liked the changes they made and felt like they delivered a very good version. No matter what service you select, you are going to have to participate to generate the type of resume you want. I was glad to use the online forum and wait for communication from TopResume.

My first assigned resume writer was a big disappointment, did amateur quality work and quit without telling me. However, the second writer, Mark, was much more professional, provided a solid level of effort, and answered my questions completely. I received my new resume, cover letter and LinkedIn input a few days ago. Unfortunately, the second re-write produced no (zero) interviews. Top Resume agreed to produce a third re-write, per their warranty. The writer did his best, I'm sure, but the third version produced no responses and no interviews after being submitted to specific position openings that I was fully qualified to fill at about 25 companies, so far. Since advising Top Resume of this result, I've heard nothing from them. A resume that produces no interviews is virtually useless. If you are an older professional with a long work history, like me, I suggest you find a higher level resume writing service because Top Resume, apparently, cannot meet the professional level companies expect for more senior people. Further, I had a couple of HR acquaintances review the third resume from Top Resume and they both said, independently, that it was too long and had an outdated format. Better to find a highly rated resume service (check references) and spend more money to get a resume that produces the right kind of interviews. High quality resume input is critical for the writer to have a chance of preparing an effective resume. I have multiple advanced degrees and decades of relevant experience, but the writers weren't skilled sufficiently to turn my credentials into a resume that generated interviews. The last two writers did their best, but it wasn't good enough. If you're a more senior level person, look elsewhere for a resume writing service that knows how to tailor your skill sets properly in a well-crafted resume.
