In my 20 year career I have never once had anyone write my resume, I have never needed to because I always was lucky enough to get a job on my own. But here recently I went back into the job market and didn't get the traction or calls I normally get when posting on the job boards. I even had a recruiter slightly edit my resume once before my submitting my resume to a client. This was my calling card to call a pro. My free evaluation was spot on and valuable information. It was the reason I went with TopResume for the job. The process was easy and the outcome was amazing. I would have never been able to put together a resume that flowed and communicated my skills and abilities as well as the one my writer constructed. It allowed me to focus on my next opportunity and not about worrying how my resume looked. I was highly impressed and should have done it years ago!
This company helped take my resume from middle of the road to stand out AWESOME! I now have nothing holding me back from going after jobs I was previously too scared to apply for in the past due to my lackluster resume.
I loved the finished product. They were quick on delivering my resume. The price was reasonable. Ibeoulf recommend their services to anyone looking to create or update their the resume.
By receiving services from TOP RESUME, I believe my resume content became more professional and I feel confident to deliver professional questions answers. It really helps me demonstrate my abilities and expertise in very concise manner.
I've got a complicated work history, switching roles and wearing multiple hats all the time. Melissa at TopResume helped me sort through all of what I could say about my experience and figure out what I should be saying
Didn't hurt that she helped make it all sound so sexy!
The process was super easy. I sent my resume, answered a couple of questions, provided a couple of posts and I was done. I didn't think there was anything that could really be done with my resume, but the one I got back was much more consumable and concise. The coverletter said all the things I couldn't bring myself to think up LOL.
Very good resume service.
The writer was very helpful, she took care of my concerns and rewrote my resume in a better format, added keyworks for ATS systems and helped me explain myself better.
Thanks!
My writer, Chris, did a great job at re-writing my resume with outstanding professionalism. The layout of it was outstanding as well.
I had a great experience with Top Resume. My husband used them before for a basic resume rewrite and had a positive experience as well. I used them for resume, cover letter and LinkedIn. They did a great job on everything and really made my documents professional and highlighted my skills in a way that I wouldn't have been able to do on my own. They were quick and courteous. Highly recommend!
Nitially very poor service -- no improvement to existing CV format or content.
AFTER a complaint - the company proved true to their word. Provided an exceptional agent who delivered a 100% great product for my use.
Ultimately, after the initial pain, the end result was quite valuable. I give them extra credit for fixing a problem when I, the client, requested a fix.
My resume had the same boring approach for years. TopResume took my education and experience and made it more professional and so much easier to read.
The process was fast, easy, and effective. After my resume re-write with TopResume I received attention back from potential employer right away. The quality of the resume was great.
I chose a more expensive package. I credit the resume for helping me land the job I really wanted. A little more professional resume then the next guy is sometimes what it takes. My linkedin is also laid out much better, after receiving the package from Top Resume. My writer was quick. I am very happy.
TopResume helped me to make my resume looked more professional.
I was struggling with writing my resume for entering a new profession that I want.
But I have found no luck. Although I have yet to receive any official interview from any employer (because I am attending to school so job hunting process slows down for me). But I am glad to see how my resume were reworded and make me feel more confident on how to word my past working experience in a better way.
I was emailed about twice per day by this company until I finally caved and paid for a resume rewrite. I was told that they would guarantee my resume would pass through the automatic scanners that many businesses use. And that I would get many more interviews. I was promised all sorts of great changes to my resume. What I got was a mediocre rewrite in which they basically reformatted it in an uninspiring manner and took out a lot of information. The writer was defensive and rather snarky when I sent my comments to her after the first version. She did the rewrite and didn't seem to put much effort into it. Her attitude was "I am the resume expert and I know what I am doing and you don't". I have been using it for several weeks with zero positive results. I would like my money back but all they promise is a rewrite. I don't think that would really change the outcome, which is that this resume is not better than what I was using.
I really liked the finished product. It improved the presentation of my experience and skills. Hopefully this will turn in offers.
I had started my job search with a resume I had created 10 years earlier. I wasn't getting many responses back to my applications. So I tried TopResume's writing service. It was a quick process and my assigned resume writer was prompt in drafts and corrections and answers to my questions. I haven't had a change to use the updated materials yet so I can't quite give it 5 stars but the process was extremely easy and I feel I have a resume that will make me stand out much more than my previous version.
Helped me prepare an alternate CV which improves chances of getting past the machine checking done by recruiters. Time will be the test of how effective the new version is.
Wonderful experience. Service was honest, straightforward, and efficient. My writer walked me through the process, asked very pointed questions; and most important of all, my final resume and cover letter were exceptional!
While I was ultimately happy with my resume and cover letter that TopResume writer Giacomo worked on with me, what pushed this from 4 stars to 5 was the customer service. Though I had submitted my resume in the third week of the month - and received a reply by the beginning of the fourth week - I didn't see the *email* of that reply until my seven days were almost up (Shakes fist at my personal spam filters!). I was a little distressed that I wouldn't get my full time due to my own error, but I got a hold of Giacomo very quickly, and was informed that he could give me a few extra days; and within two days of back and forth emails, I had a professional quality resume and cover letter. Thank you Giacomo, and thank you TopResume!
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.
