Top company. Definitely trustworthy. If for whatever reason your unsatisfied with your first draft yohr writter will work with you non stop till your vision is archieved! I recommend the ceo profesional package since you'll want the best of the best. Only had my resume for about two weeks now and never have i received as many interview requests than i do now, truly an amazing service well worth the price in the long run, cheers and good luck mates!

I love this option. It's hard trying to figure out what hiring managers are looking for and whomever they Asian to you knows exactly how to make your resume pop. I would do this again in a heart beat.

I was hesitant at first to utilize TopResume due to different reviews and the over various sites offering similar assistance at a comparable rate. Weighing the different options where a potentially stronger resume would open me to stronger opportunities I met my writer.
I could not be more pleased with the rough draft as it captured what I was trying to capture yet wasn't as successful. While writers may vary, I would recommend this company as there was constant communication to ensure I was the process was done smoothly.

TopResume was able to revamp my resume in a timely manner. They helped me take my resume that was formatted for entry level and last updated 4 years ago, to a resume that better reflects where I am now in upper management.

I needed to give my resume some new life so I found TopResume and they were great to work with. I chose to do the resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile review and Alena was amazing to work with! She took several samples that I provided her and returned all three items within one week (resume within a day) and they were all very well done and I didn't even see a need to do a revision. Overall outstanding service and would recommend to anyone looking to breathe some fresh air into their resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile.

What a GREAT experience I had with Top Resume! TopResume was the best great way to objectively have a review and rewrite of my resume. The review and rewrite helped me find my dream 2 weeks. Its cost was worth every penny.

WORST OF THE WORST
June 7, 2017

I've had resumes professionally completed previously and the examples of resumes these folks provided could only have been worse if they were written in crayon. Poor language, completely erroneous information which wasn't corrected even after feedback given. Way too much money for the worst resume I've ever seen. Definitely no money back guarantee, please do NOT WASTE your money!

From the free resume critique that I requested and received and to the completed end result - I couldn't be more pleased. My personal writer kept in frequent communication with me in order to ensure that she understood what I wanted to highlight in my resume. I have received a significant increase in interest from potential employers since working with TopResume! I recommend this to everyone who is currently job searching. It is an invaluable resource. THANK YOU!

I didn't get a single interview in the 60 day period. When I contacted them, they told me that I should have been applying to more jobs and that I should treat applying for a job "like a full-time job." That is hard to do when I work, go to school and have a family. They claimed that it was my fault for choosing the jobs I did because I "fall short as a candidate." Every job I applied for, I at the very least met the minimum qualifications. Super disappointed with their customer service. It wasn't worth the money.

More interviews!
June 2, 2017

I am now getting more interviews after Top Resume gave me a professional look to my resume. Perhaps the wordings, and keywords have increased my chances. Additionally, I received an excellent service, and my questions were answered before publishing the draft.

Genuine, convenient, experienced staffs, professional.
The requested job was accomplished before the agreed time.
Prompt action and amendments done professionally within the agreed time, although I am staying abroad and communicating through emails only, considering the time gap difference.
Keep it up.

Definitely worth the $100 some for a resume to COMPLETELY INCREASE your future career and income prospects. I HIGHLY recommend this service to every job hunter, ESPECIALLY THE ONES STARTING OUT - it should be required, in fact. I'm now thinking to myself, perhaps my resume writing is the reason I haven't been called upon so much, because my experience is unique and amazing.;)

The only issue I had was with the lack of proper and timely delivery of the product, and the communication between myself and the team. The writer herself (the 2nd one; i was waiting for the 1st one for a few days and no response) was AMAZING and responded favorably. Her work - out of this world! When I did complain, I wasn't really addressed; rather, i was told I would have a second writer, and that was that lol I didn't really push it, and I'm kind of okay with not, because, as I said, the final product floored my expectations, so even that was WAY WORTH IT.

So, the only issue was the customer service and professionalism w the issue above. They did make up for it by apologizing, assigning me the 2nd writer, and writing a free cover letter for me, which is a great extra resource to have.
Would I return? I would hesitate a bit bc I would worry I would have to go through a few days of awkward back and forth, but YES. I now believe I have one of the fiercest resumes alive! HAHA Even if they deliver a few days late, WHO CARES! THE PRODUCT IS FREAKING AMAZING!
