Great Experience
June 27, 2017

I had a great experience with Top Resume. After finding myself unable to make changes that impacted my resume I hesitantly engaged Top Resume. My resume writer Kailyn was wonderful. She created a resume using her expertise and my feedback that I am very pleased with. I would recommend Top Resume.

Good service but a bit pricey. They make it short and simple easy to understand for recruiters. They eliminate all the unecessary information from the resume

My experience with Top Resume was excellent in all ways. My writer was timely, professional, and responsive to my feedback in real time. My resume was transformed to more accurately and vibrantly reflect me, my skill set, and the type of position(s) I am seeking.

While this was not revolutionary, the time saved along with the best practices used provided me with an updated resume in the least amount of time. The resulting documents are easy to use and revise for the specific opportunity of interest. Using the basic approach also guides my approach.

TopResume did a great job of going back and forth with me to get the resume I wanted. They asked a lot of questions that helped me articulate my experience and qualifications, and phrased my work in a way that sounds impressive.

I wrotw a poor review of this company "May A Well Have Flushed That Money" and Jenna M responded, saying thats not how my experience should have been. She urged me to contact customer service and somebody would be in touch right away. They were - and said tough luck we cant help you. Don't wast your money with these people - there are plenty of legitimate firms in this space

I paid these guys to craft an effective LinkedIn profile. They took my resume and existing profilr and shuffled a few words, adding no new content and zero value. Shop around before working with these folks - they are amateurs

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They over charge, refuse to refund the overcharged amount. The resume template used is severely outdated, with numerous grammatical errors, it is a UK based company, with an. Au domain yet their spelling and grammar is in an American format.

Don't waste your time.

I am very happy with the service I received from Matthew at TopResume. He kept in daily communication and returned my emails same day. The package I purchased was the Resume, Cover Letter, and copy and paste profile for my LinkedIn account. I feel much more confident going forward in my career path. I highly recommend TopResume.

They took my overly long, wordy & excessively bullet pointed CV & turned it into a way more concise version with good use of key words. Happy

I sent in my resume for a "professional" rewrite. They said I needed a strong summary. They put exactly what I originally sent them in my resume. So much for a "professional rewrite" - as well as stronger language. They eliminated some of my. Education, and half of my work experience, including part of my current employment. They pretty much took what I gave them, cut stuff out and gave me a title that I had never heard of. What was left was all the same wording that I had in my original resume.

Pretty resume
June 25, 2017

I decided to use TopResume because of the scan that they did of my current resume. The feedback and pointers on my current resume made sense. I also wanted help writing a cover letter because I was interested in applying for a company that was outside of my industry. My resume writer gave me a first draft that was visually appealing. There were formatting errors and specific product names that were typed incorrectly. I let my resume writer know that but some of the same mistakes were there the second time. I think it helps if you correct the resume directly on the document they send you rather than make a bullet list of what you want corrected. Despite those things, I was pleased with the wording and visual appearance of my resume.

Recently, I began searching for a new job. I updated my resume and submitted it to several companies expecting them to contact me immediately. A few weeks went by. No response. TopResume offered to critique my resume for free in an effort to identify ways that I could improve it. After reviewing their suggestions, I allowed them to modify my resume accordingly. Complete transformation! The format and content was made dramatically different. I applied to jobs with my updated resume and obtained two interviews within a week. The recruiters mentioned how impressed they were with my resume's appearance. TopResume is the primary reason why my opportunities have increased and I'm very thankful for that.

Awesome service.
June 24, 2017

I rated Top Resume 5 out of 5 because the service was outstanding. My writer Jamie was amazing and took the time to read thru the material I sent which included job descriptions as well as my past experience and achievements. I was sent a first draft which is great and we made some minor adjustments for the final draft. I also ordered a cover letter which I feel is a great bonus. The pricing is great compared to other companies who charge double or triple for the same service. I would highly recommend their service to everyone.

The process of submitting my resume for a professional rewrite was amazing! The whole process took less than two weeks, and I love the result. I even got an interview based on the draft version of my resume that i sent out in the middle of the process. Lynda did an amazing job. It was a painless (except for the cost perhaps) process, and i couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks!

While I was initially impressed by the survey and info requested to get a new resume, the expert took long time to answer my queries, sent a relatively poor draft resume and did not respond to my comments on it - simply sending another time almost the same proposal. I paid for a full package with suggestions for my LinkedIn too and have been waiting 2 weeks for it. After comparing prices with other services I regret to have used this service!

I wasn't sure how best to format my resume and which keywords resonated with companies. My TopResume writer was able to turn my basic resume into a product that highlighted my experience and skills better than before. TopResume did the hard work so I could rest assured my resume is in great shape. This is worth the money.
