Phenomenal service!
July 19, 2017

Laura D. At TopResume was just the antidote needed for the stress I was experiencing in refreshing my resume. At a professional crossroads, I needed the expertise of a service that was objective and not emotionally involved in the process. After completing a questionnaire and submitting some supporting documents, I was matched with a writer with knowledge of my industry. The turnaround time was lightening fast - almost not enough time for me to catch my breath! Communication with Laura, the TopResume writer, was done via email exclusively. She was not only extremely timely with her responses, she was upbeat and positive. I really felt that she was invested in the process with me. It was an unintentional click of a link that led me to TopResume, but by no means was it an accident! Thank you for your help!

I would recommend this company to fellow job seekers. Their service is prompt and courteous. Their resume writer was also very professional and at the same time maintained a good human touch. I haven't yet got a job, but it's only been a week and I am getting more calls from recruiters than before.

Money Well Spent
July 19, 2017

I was kind of scared to use TopResume at first because a resume is almost do or die with submitting online applications. I bought the plan where I got a cover letter and a resume. Kailyn was so great and SUPER quick about getting my first draft back to me. My resume only needed minor tweaks from the first draft. I would not hesitate to recommend TopResume to anyone! It is well worth the cost!

Just try it!
July 18, 2017

TopResume is a fantastic service. I knew my resume needed to be improved, but I just didn't think I could word it properly. I needed something new and decided to take a chance. I was so pleased with the final product, I just wanted to send it to everyone. TopResume's writers have a way of wording things and making you look like the professional you are. I would highly recommend this service. They really know what their doing.

I wasn't sure if I should pay for service to upscale my resume but I am truly satisfied with the experience. The individual helping me out was very responsive with my questions and suggestions but overall my doubts or insecurity. My resume and cover letter do indeed look very presentable nothing compared to what I have submitted and the wordings, spectacular. I look forward to the upcoming opportunities.

Great Service!
July 18, 2017

My initial feelings were mixed until I began to work with my writer Julia R.
I was very impressed with her level of knowledge and expertise. Top Resume helped to present me in a light that was indicative of years of experience while also wanting to venture into a different career path. It was clear from the onset that my writer was very perceptive and had the ability to represent me clearly and succinctly. I would recommend you to give them a try! It is especially beneficial when you opt for a phone consultation.

If you are reading this please do not use this service. I too was torn by the mixed reviews but this service offers a very low quality product and is not worth the money.

I ordered the package that was supposed to include a resume writer in their "top 10%." The documents they provided me were an obvious cut and past job into a template using my old resumes. I had to make extensive edits just to make it readable as their were many typos, nonsensical statements, and template place holder sections left empty. After communicating with my writer a few time it became clear that they were not based in the United States. This was evident by all the documents they sent me being set as English (United Kingdom) in the review section of Microsoft Word.

This service MIGHT be helpful to those who are starting from scratch and have no idea how to construct a resume but is outrageously overpriced. If that is the case I suggest you use free templates from online or resources like a career center at a community college or your university. This service is not worth the money. They do not issue refunds so BEWARE.

I was on the fence about using their service, but knowing that there is no way I can make myself sound good on my resume, I had to give them a shot. And if I didn't see results, I could get a refund! So what's there to lose!? The service was great, except it would be nice to know what time-zone your writer was in because I would get responses at 5am sometimes and nothing at all around 11am or so. But I recommended everyone else to give this a try. This is something you should consider not only for now, but for your future! It's almost like a career starter!

Top Notch Resume
July 17, 2017

Top Resume offers a very thorough and detailed step by step service. They started by doing a free, thorough analysis of my resume and the results were a real eye opener to me. It made me realize just how inadequate my resume was as seen through the eyes of a recruiter even though I thought my resume was great. My resume writer took her time, fielded my questions and concerns and delivered a truly great product which needed basically no revisions on my part. She also did a tremendous job on my LinkedIn profile as well. I now feel much more confident in my job search as I look to switch careers. This was money well spent and I have been recommending the service to people that I know.

The process was easy to get started with and the writer did an excellent job. I would have liked a little more guidance as to the direction the resume could / should have gone, but a great product over-all. I definitely DO recommend trying their services for an excellent resume and cover letter.

Highly recommended!
July 14, 2017

I was looking for job for almost 2 years. I had couple of interviews but the positions were not really related to my background. After hearing about TopResume through a friend I decided to give it a chance. First I received a free critique on my resume from this company and I was very surprised that the ATS system picked the wrong keywords as my top skills! My resume didnt really show the exact target and direction that I was looking for.
I purchased the Executive Priority package and had my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn written professionally. The writer was called Ruth and he was very fast and responsive and provided all documents in less than 10 days.
I started applying with my new resume and cover letter on May 25th 2017. I got two great interviews, totally related to my background and I got hired on July 7th 2017!

I wish I knew about TopResume earlier!
