Very Impressed
April 28, 2017

I am trying to affiliate myself with the military again on the civilian side. After utilizing this service, I received immediate feedback from a hiring manager on how impressive my resume is. I am very excited to see what career options open up as a result. Thank you Jennifer.

TopResume is AWESOME!
April 27, 2017

The writer I worked with was AWESOME! She was able to turn around my resume 180 degrees and I was totally impressed that I went as far as requesting the same writer for putting together my Linkedin profile. I would recommend TopResume to anyone who is looking to make a transformational change to their resume. I have since been getting multiple interviews. Cant thank TopResume for the outstanding work.

Wonderful work
April 24, 2017

My writer Christy is wonderful. Everything she put on my resume was accurate but the way she put it together made me seem like a much better person. Top resume is worth every penny.

Great job!
April 24, 2017

Just needed a few tweaks on my resume but they really pulled it together. Would have never thought of some of the ideas or wording myself. I used to not send a cover letter, but with my new and improved one, I do it all the time.

They did a much better job than I could have done. You may have to correct specific technical details related to your specialty, but I expected that. Very happy.

Awesome Service!
April 23, 2017

I was skeptical about using an internet based resume service. They did such a great job the first time, I purchased more of their service. Their writers took time to review my profile and understand my background. It was very well written. They did a great job communicating with me during the service so I understood where they were at in the process and what I could expect. I recommend them!

I made a snap decision to engage TopResume due to a looming change in our circumstances since my retirement. The service from the outset and throughout the process was exemplary. The outcome was far beyond my expectations. I would recommend the service to all my family and friends to upgrade their resumes and obtain a professional Cover Letter.

I am a multi-career professional who needed help efficiently and effectively telling my story and laying out my resume to scan properly. I paid the extra money for the Executive Priority package, filled out the questionnaire, and 2 days later got a draft resume and cover letter. A first I thought was a joke I couldnt believe someone would send out even a first draft of such poor quality. There was a digit missing from my phone number, a typo and a grammatical error just in the first paragraph alone (expertise in all faucets of. Adept in analyzing) Half of the document was just gibberish: "Facilitated innovative industrial agriculture area "Recruited and supervised elite team in tailored plant plans and construction. The draft cover letter was completely useless and bore zero relevance to the job description I had sent to them. Its like they have a canned list of action verbs that they just plug in randomly. Or their writers are actually bots, or non-native English speakers.

Needless to say, I was angry. I tried to get my money back, but of course they have a no-refund policy. I finally agreed to let them assign me to another writer. 3 days later another draft, better but still not even close: Nonsense phrases like Demonstrated expertise building teams and translating big picture, executive objectives in clear roadmaps Typos everywhere: equity became quity, led became lead, but maybe worse, the writer added made-up details that were not in the materials Id sent and were completely wrong.

At this point Im just walking away. I know they say they will revise documents until youre happy and I even paid for an upgrade to include a phone conversation with the writer, but Ive wasted enough of my time on this company. Maybe they do better with people with fewer years of experience or more linear career histories, but if youre a seasoned professional, stay very far away.

It was great experience to have my professional profile re-written up to the standard
It could improve by having the first draft re-written with some more tweaks that I have requested

Highly recommend
April 23, 2017

It is a difficult thing to be able to translate yourself onto paper. This was my biggest problem when trying to write my own resume--it was not a proper representation of who I was. Top Resume helped me to bring my resume up to par and reflect who I was as a professional. I had a few issues in the beginning, but customer support handles it swiftly and efficiently. My second writer was dedicated and worked very hard to change my resume to my liking. This is worth it and there is even an option for payment plans. The writers know what employers are looking for and even small details such as favorable fonts and layouts.
