Worth it!
April 21, 2017

I was very happy with Top Resume! They contacted me quickly, sent me a detailed info to fill out. They turned it around in 48 hours, on a Sunday, which I was not expecting.
The most important thing is that i am getting interviews frm my resume. Even for jobs I did not think I was qualified for. So I am a happy person and I know I will get my dream job soon. I have already been offered a position with the first company I interied with.

They did not fail!
April 21, 2017

I expected a resume better looking than mine but they went above and beyond all my expectations. I was anxious that I might be throwing away my money, but I don't regret it. They did stunning work, made me sound like a million bucks. I am not embarrassed to show my resume to anyone, have been to job fairs and spoke to companies I wouldn't have tried before. I also have been consistently been receiving offers for interviews.

Had been looking for a new job for a while and sending a lot of resumes out there. I had not taken a resume & cover letter writing class since college so I had just tried to wing it with what I remembered when I found TopResume. They were able to put together a very nice looking and thorough resume and were able to do it quickly. Within a week I received the first draft of my cover letter and resume and when I asked them to make a few minor tweaks they were able to do them and have it back to me within a day.

"My First reaction was WOW, when I read the "first draft!" I really wasn't sure they would be able to take what I sent them and craft it in such a way that it would be substantially different. My expectation was an incremental improvement over what I had, but they really took it to another level; I really am wow'd!" The service I received and response times were outstanding.
The staff was very polite and prompt about my resume rewrite. I also had them develop a cover letter for me. I'm glad I used them since I got a lead within a few hours. You may THINK you have a professional resume as I did. These guys proved me wrong.
Special thanks to Fredrick W. To handle my case so professionally.

I never felt confident about my resume. I read numerous books on creating my resume and followed various examples of what looked like the perfect resume but never felt 100% positive about sending it to potential employers. Was there enough information about my work history or too little? Was there unnecessary information, taking away from the more important aspects of who I am as an employee. Was my resume written so the right people were seeing it? Were people seeing my resume but not noticing or taking an interest? I had so many questions and reservations about my resume. Finally, I took advantage of TopResume's free critique of my most recent resume. Turns out that my doubts were correct. There was a lot of unnecessary information and I was hitting the right target areas. So I hired a TopResume professional to write my resume. I can't be happier with the final product! I am now getting emails from reputable companies I haven't even applied to. The person assigned to write my resume was very professional and courteous, making the entire process very easy and enjoyable. I also appreciate making 3 monthly payments as opposed to paying the entire bill upfront. I am not 110% confident every time I send out my resume.

Great outcome!
April 21, 2017

I had been using the same stale resume for years and granted I got some attention but nothing like the one I received using TopResume's! Not only were they easy to use but provided me with sufficient feedback to produce a well written, beautifully produced resume.

Disappointed
April 20, 2017

I purchased the executive package and feel like I did not get my money's worth. I provided my writer a lot of material to work with and yes, she did a good job re-writing my resumé and cover letter. But it's now two months later and... not a single interview. I was hoping TopResume would capture keywords which would be flagged by hiring managers. But to no avail.

I agree
April 20, 2017

Their scope is very limited; I provided ample data, accomplishments, 3 different resumes that cover a large amount of time and provide direction of what I wanted to achieve. What I received was a very watered down version of my existing resume, not a newly crafted resume designed for the new direction I has provided, very disappointing. I would recommend shopping around, not a total waste, but you may do better.

TopResume was wonderful to work with. Those who helped set up the order were pleasant and professional. The writer was thorough in the questions they asked me to get my work history and goals. I appreciated that they sent rough drafts of my new resume for me to review and edit. And the final resume was exactly what I had visioned, resulting in more interviews which led to a new job offer within 45 days of completion. Thank you!

Quality Service
April 18, 2017

The process unfortunately started with a delayed response from the writer but I was quickly matched with another writer which delivered my resume with quality and accuracy. Overall the customer service was great. The writer followed up regularly and explained any questions/concerns I had.

If you want to stand out from the competition I would highly recommend TopResume. I am a busy Sales Executive and they match me with the perfect writer that worked with me personally to tailor my resume and profile. I am very impressed and will recommend TopResume to all my friends and colleagues.

I would definitely recommend that everyone looking for a seriously well written Resume and Cover Letter use TopResume. The writer, Erinn, worked closely with me and incorporated everything that I expected to see in the resume and cover letter. She was very professional in her communication with me and did an excellent job getting me the professional documents I needed to be seen by more companies.
