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 my writer and I reviewed the first draft I got a great second draft. From there I only had minor tweaks and now using this resume in my search.
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.
TopResume helped my career grown within 90 days of me receiving my updated resume and it was done just perfect. I started receiving emails and calls for job offers from number of companies nationwide. Thank you
TopResume help me with corrections of my resume in order to help me get a job opportunity or a phd program at a University.
I will advice my friends to send out their resumes for corrections that tgey may need on their resume
Thank you
Will like to work with topresume in the future. My resume which 4 pages before is now 2 pages with great technical content
I have used TopResume twice in the past few years and have been completely satisfied with my decision to work with them to better improve my chances of landing the perfect job for me. The staff is highly professional and works with you every step of the way. Nothing could be easier! I highly recommend TopResume to anyone who is looking to improve his/her chances of finding the perfect job match.
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.
I felt the writer understood well what I wanted to meant in my Resume. I liked the words he used to described me better.
I'm very happy with the service and absolutely recommend TopResume. My writer was very professional and all the process was pleasant with really usefull information and details.
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.
Very good, Excellent result with my professionally written resume, would recommend it to anybody, good quality of work and totally happy.
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'm persona;; y very satified with the quality if the work done. Think one of the main reasons for oerall success was the relly cooperative approach and ability to hear - what are your needs.
Very collaborative process. Writer sent drafts and revisions very timely. Happy with the product overall, have yet to see if interviews have increased as promised.
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.
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.
