I was just laid off, had a ten year old resume. Figured it was time to update that resume I saw topresume on one of the jobboards. So I througt id give them a shot. I was paired up with a writer named Jessica. She did an outstanding job rewriting my resume and now I feel I'm on my way back to being employed
It is not often that I take the time to write a review as rarely does the service or person meet my initial expectations. TopResume and Lori H made me want to tell others about their unique ability to get the candidate's story connected and well displayed. The quick turn times were amazing!
I had the pleasure of having Dominique work on my resume and I couldn't be happier! I have previous recruiting experience so I thought my personal resume was really good, but after Dominique worked on it I was blown away at her work! Looks better, flows better and ultimately I believe companies are responding faster now that I'm sending my new resume! Worth the money!
They were extremly professional and nice. They changed everything I wanted and added what I was missing. It was a pleasure to deal with them, excellent result!
I signed up for the TopResume with some reservations as I had never used anything like this before. I was pleasantly surprised and very pleased with the results. My writer was very professional and responsive. I have asked several of my peers to review my new resume and they have all been very impressed. Very happy and very satisfied with TopResume to include a new resume, cover letter and LinkedIn review.
Completely satisfied with the results and looking forward to employers response.
For years, I thought about having a professional look over my resume and change the wording to a professional format, but never followed through. I took a leap of faith, after reading a bunch of reviews. They were professional and I received my new resume within a day of submission. As a test, I submitted the NEW resume for a job that was a higher level than I would normally apply for, and got an immediate interview invitation. My new resume also effected how the interviewer viewed me as an applicant. I now have a second round interview. Thanks for your help!
Spent 3 months with what I thought was a good resume with no results. Conferred with Top Resume and hired one of their professionals to rewrite it. It looks professional and after only a few applications I was called for an interview.
Very easy to work with. The person writing my resume let me know when to expect my first draft. After reviewing I provided some feedback and then they hit it out of the part with second draft. I chose to get the resume, cover letter, & LinkedIn account update. I found the writer from TopResume easy to work with and provided a lot of value for the price. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help with writing a current resume for today's job market.
I wrote to Emily and within hours I had a response. I was assigned to Shelby within less than a day and Shelby seem to be working around the clock to get me up-to-date. I was very impressed with my resume, cover letter, thank you letter and LinkedIn Profile. In fact, a day after I updated my LinkedIn profile I received three calls for prospective job opportunities! Thank you Shelby and the team at TopResume!
What I liked most about using this service was that I had an opportunity to arrange and have a personal phone call with my writer so that we could establish a working relationship that went beyond just communicating through email. That, along with providing actual job-postings I wanted to actually apply to using the completed product, helped tremendously with establish a working relationship that was invaluable.
I found myself suddenly unemployed and I needed a resume. It had been so long since I'd had a resume and I needed help added years of experience I'd gained. I hired someone to write my resume and it did not go well. After that experience I was hesitant to look again. But TopResume had a free review. What sold me was their access to Applicant Tracking software. I could actually see how I was coming across to large companies. So I decided to take a chance, and boy was it worth it! My resume is SO awesome. Often times we have a hard time seeing how awesome we truly are. Hiring someone who just sees the data and doesn't have the insecurities and doubts I do was a great decision. She told a story with words that really represents me and all that I've done.
I admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but their specialist was able to explain my professional career better than I ever could. Worth every penny.
TopResume did an outstanding job of rewriting my resume, and turning it into a real sales piece, rather than simply an accounting of what I did and where. My writer was friendly, helpful, and finished the job quickly. A professionally written resume is an investment in yourself, and TopResume made the process completely painless.
I contracted the TopResume writing service since I felt my resume was not asset on my job hunting efforts. I asked my TopResume writer to deliver something modern, straight to the point and eye-catching for recruiters and Steve delivered it and amazed me. The first draft that I received was so good that only asked for minute changes to one job description. I highly recommend Top Resume.
I used Top Resume to get a rewrite on my resume and cover letter because I wasn't getting many hits. The resume was rewritten in a timely manor and my input was thoroughly listened to. Will recommend and possibly use again!
I absolutley love the way my new resume looked. TopResume did a great job in giving that extra boost to really highlight my skills. Emily was my writer and she was very prompt often responding within minutes/hours. Highly recommend!
I was very pleased working with TopResume. The writer did an excellent job by reducing my resume from three pages to the standard two pages by summarizing and highlighting all my achievements as expected.
My resume was in need of a professional makeover. TopResume made that happen! Fantastic writers, fast turn around, quality product! Worth every penny!
I hadn't redone my resume for 13 years... boy have things changed. Emily H., helped me put everything in order, seamlessly. She heard everything I said and incorporated everything I thought was important as well as added more professionalism and organization. I would definitely recommend TopResume to help with building your resume and cover letter. An added bonus was all of the great articles they have on their website. Hunting for a new job can be scary, but after receiving the final resume and cover letter I had much more confidence. Thank you!
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!
