This was a great way to have an objective party review and rewrite my resume to be applicable to any jobs and key word screening for applying to jobs online. Alvin was easy to work with, thorough, knowledgeable and great at follow up. A great experience overall.
I received an offer for a free resume critique from TopResume. No one likes criticism, but after weeks of lukewarm or no responses to my old resume, I had nothing to lose. Yikes! What a constructive critique I was given. It was supported with lots of data, facts and even personal input from the critic. I could have attempted a rewrite using their info but i decided to try a resume/cover letter package that guaranteed interviews within 60 days. They even were offering a discount.
I was assigned a writer and received a draft in 2-3 days! Throughout the process I was in direct correspondence with the very talented, skillful, and responsive writer named Alana. The finished product was a polished, nicely formatted, professional resume/cover letter.
I began using it immediately and was thrilled to have 2 interviews lined up in less than a week. I highly recommend TopResume to any job seeker looking for an edge in this competitive market. At least let them provide a critique, then you can decide from there how your resume stacks up.
I had a very good experience using Top Resume, the service was very profesional. They were always willing to cooperate and guide you trhought the process.
The first draft was terrible, assigned to a new writer, they didn't deliver the resume in two days like the first and said if I wanted it faster I could pay a rush charge. Quoted they don't do refunds after the first draft, but the first draft looks like a high school student did the work or someone overseas that doesn't understand English. Maybe look at a company that actually does what they say the will do on the website.
Very professional and always in constant communication with you. Any feedback or any questions you may have they answer quickly once you have your writer assigned. All the things you fill in when requesting their service, they all take it into count.
It started off a little rocky when it took several days to assign an analyst to to work on my resume, however to compensate, I was given a cover letter free of charge. Once an analyst was assigned, the process was smooth and efficient with timely responses to questions and concerns with my resume.
Fast, efficient and great to work with.
My resume writer was Betsy and she was the best. She did a great job of getting the important items of my career from the for-profit world that would relate to the non-profit I was hopping to join.
My resume needed a refresher and I'm glad I came to TopResume. I'm happy with the results. It also helps that their staff was professional and I received everything timely.
Had to pay another person since the resume final results still clearly contained grammatical errors, sentences did not make sense, tense was not correct, format was off, etc... Had to consistently remind Sofia Avila at TopResume to check that these issues were resolved/she check her work. Also based on the results and feedback from another professional writer I paid it appears that my resume was outsourced (either not done by an English fluent person or they didn't care about the end results or both). Overall a bad experience and will be reporting this to other sites including the BBB, LinkedIn etc as well as friends family coworkers networks etc

I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs help with a resume. I was in the midst of changing careers and my resume was not sticking out to any recruiters. They asked extremely detailed questions to make sure that they were making the resume how I wanted it and I really appreciated that they actually cared about my opinion.
Cora, my personal Resume writer was excellent. Quickly responded to my questions and concerns through E-mails and even called me on a Sunday when I requested help before an Interview that Tuesday! She got the Job done and I'm confident this will help me find the job I'm looking for!
The resumes I ordered turned out great. I struggle with writing my own resume and this company made the process fast and easy. They listened and added my suggestions in.
I couldn't go wrong by submitting my resume to TopResume.com The outcome was fantastic exactly what I needed to land my dream job. The structure and wording was so much better than my old one. Thank you guys!
Good platform to start on for your resume. It only needs minor changes to personal details for the final draft. They offer a different angle at how a resume can be short, sweet and attractive to Employers.
I'm extremely happy with TopResume! They improved my resume tremendously! Now I feel so confident when applying for any job.
I also bought a new cover letter and a LinkedIn profile, both make me look like a star!

Great service and easy to deal with. Mr Resume was really punchy and highlighted my skills and experience. And I would definitely recommend TopResume.
My resume was great. The service was amazing because the writer explained to me why they wrote my resume in the format they chose. In my case putting more emphasis on my achievements. I also had a good amount of time to resolve issues which was great.
Great service, they were very thorough to give you the best possible resume.
I recommend them to anyone.
Glad I had TopResume review and recreate my resume. Mark tailored my resume to how I wanted it. He made sure to communicate throughout the entire process in case I needed to change something on the resume. I was lucky enough to get a discount on my resume and cover letter. If you get that opportunity, act quick!
Very professional. CV I got in the end has been turned around whole 180 degres from the one I created myself. Every word is worth the money I send on this case. I can honestly recommend this to all interested in changing their work life.
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.

Answer: Don't waste your money. All of these "reviews" are probably fake. I actually paid them $189 and never even got a usable resume. Find a better company. These guys are crooks!
