TopResume is a great resume rewriting service! The resume rewriting process was fast and easy and the staff at TopResume were highly competent, very friendly, and extremely professional. I am very confident in applying for openings with my new resume. I feel my new resume conveys my achievements, experience, and education in a powerful but yet concise way. Thank you, TopResume!

Lala, was thorough and helpful. She walked me through the whole process and followed up after each revision. The phone call in the beginning was worth every penny.

I needed help getting my resume noticed by companies and I am very happy with the outcome. TopResume charged a reasonable fee for the resume and cover letter and returned the end product in very quick time. I would not hesitate to use them again.

TopResume were fast and efficient, and produced a beautiful, professional-looking resume using the old one I sent them, plus my answers to a series of questions. They used that info to match me with a writer in my field, and she created a resume in Word that I can edit and adapt as I proceed with my job search. They did a good, effective job and what I paid them was well worth it.

Transparency note: TopResume offered to send me a gift card for sharing my honest review here.

I rate the service that I received from TopResume as 4.5 stars. The quality of my resume re-write was both excellent and also humbling. It was excellent as in 2 pages my 18 years of professional experience was elegantly captured and I felt proud reading about my achievements. It was humbling as the brevity of my new resume was succinct and my ego which wanted everything listed on a formerly busy and longer resume was held in check. I have already been for three interviews since putting my newly written resume out there. It has been a worthy investment for sure! Only gripe is a technology related one: I use Microsoft Word, my excellent writer uses an Apple operating system. I had to re-space all drafts and the final product which took time. Clients should be given a choice what operating system they prefer that TopResume writers use.

Very Pleased
March 31, 2017

I am very pleased with my experience with TopResume. My writer listened to my thoughts and suggestions which along with the new formatting and complete redesign resulted in something I am truly happy with. In fact, after submitting my new resume only one day ago I already have a phone interview scheduled.

Was it effective?

I had an excellent experience with Top Resume, mainly because the author who was assigned to me not only put great work in front of me from the first draft, but also answered all my questions with helpful answers. After matching with my writer the process took 8 days to complete. Almost on all of those 8 days I was in touch with my writer discussing the resume and cover letter rewrite in detail. Took us 2 drafts to reach the final draft of the documents. In addition I also received a LinkedIn content document, with useful tips, a thank you letter sample and I`ll get a chance to make use of the Top Resume posting service, which allows you to post your resume on over 70 job search engines. In the end I`ll definitely recommend Top Resume to whomever looking for a rewrite or a work from scratch.

Top Resume helped eliminate repetitive words in my resume. The writing of job qualifications was done to except a wide opportunity range. The new format was modern updated and formatted to be excepted by today's industry standards, (avoid the round file).

Nothing but the best!
March 28, 2017

My personal TopResume professional was Jon. He was nothing but complete honesty, professionalism, and perfection. If I thought something looked a little off, he either pointed out the formatting, or he made sure it was corrected within the very next revision. However, on that same note, there were VERY few things that needed to even BE revised on the FIRST revision of my professionally created resume. It was perfect! And now I have something to go by in my new career field. Not only did he create the best resume, he took all of that information and plugged it into a word document and it showed me how to create the perfect linkedin profile as well! Plus, the cover letter and the thank you letter are amazing as well.

Thank you TopResume, and thanks again Jon! You guys are the best!

My resume needed a face lift and dialed in for the software programs employers are using now to filter through the 1000's of resumes they receive.
The process took about a week to complete but they hit the date that they gave me, so I knew the timeline. When I received my resume back it looked marvelous.
I posted it the next day and immediately received 2 calls to interview. The 3rd interview was for a position I applied for directly through the employers web site. Applied on Sat, literally received a call on Monday to come in for an interview.
Best money I ever spent. Haven't had an offer of employment yet, but all this has transpired only in the last 2 weeks. SO I am expecting an offer soon. If not I know my resume will attract the attention of wherever I submit it.
THANK YOU TOP RESUME!

Good results!
March 26, 2017

Top Resume nicely crafted my resume and cover letter. This was the first time I've paid for this service-after reading their initial critique of my resume I opted to purchase a package. The reworked version was neater, cleaner, and used stronger language, and the cover letter was extremely well written. I did get an interview the first week after using the new versions. My only hesitation is that their turnaround times are very fast before they close a case-be prepared to set aside time when you sign up to avoid any issues.

Really bad first draft, typos, misspelled words, crappy formatting and no understanding of my industry or role. No opportunity for a phone consultation to set expectations or focus. It took way to long to get the first draft. After I logged my initial complaint they sent a 'form' email with mistakes in it. There response is to try and assign a different writer? Wow, talk about arrogance.
