TopResume recently took my wordy, clumsy resume (which I had thought was pretty good!), critiqued it and rewrote it as an awesome, professional document. I am now really proud to load it onto my job searches, and already have a casual position. Previous applications hadn't got me anywhere. This is an excellent service to use and their product is worth every penny.

Definitely a value for the financial and time investment. I need to transition my career and remain focused on opportunities commensurate with my experience and education. But, I have been in the workforce for over 20 years and recently completed my advanced degree. Top Resume worked with me to ensure my resume has a more contemporary look; it conveys more accomplishments vs. graduate student related activities; and I believe it will survive through the screening of online applications with key word optimization. Good idea to have your work history assessed through an unbiased and "fresh perspective". I had to temporarily wait for the writer that "fit" my needs the best, but I received a free cover letter refresh for my patience. Easy and expedient collaborative process. I would definitely recommend.

I was applying to a college online and needed help with my resume immediately, in order to meet the application deadline. TopResume was phenomenal, and they were
Able to generate a completely revised resume based on my entire employment and education history. I strongly recommend that any prospective customer of TopResume provide complete information on their employment history, for example, I provided 10 years of job history to be as complete as possible. Based on the finished resume I received from TopResume, I submitted it along with my college application, and have received confirmation that I will be given an admissions interview! This is the best testimonial I could give the company. Their expertise and
Career advice in truly invaluable. I give TopResume my highest recommendation!

Highly recommended!

I was impressed with TopResume's results. They helped me with my resume, cover letter and Linkedin profile and all were excellently written and highly polished. Samantha was able to articulate my achievements, highlight my skills and apply resume writing best practices that otherwise would have escaped me. Customer service is exceptional. Highly recommended!

Results
February 19, 2017

I had a very smooth transition from the sales team to the writer. I had two rounds of revisions before my revision time expired. I could have done more revisions if I hadn't been as busy. I would like to see a longer window, but maybe other can do it more quickly than me. Overall, I got two calls the next week and one offer. Thanks TopResume.

Extremely receptive to my ideas and what I was seeking to achieve. Fast turn-around time for the rough draft and completed product. I wish I would have done this a long time ago. I would recommend Top Resume to anyone looking to make themselves stand out in the current job market.

Best resume available
February 18, 2017

Honestly, I was in dire need of a resume. I had submitted the resume I created to over 30 jobs and heard nothing, then I hired Top Resume and started to see some traction in my job search.

My writer took time to get to know me outside of my original resume and cover letter. After receiving the completed work, I had an interview within a week, and was hired for the position. I highly recommend this service to everyone!

Pro's
Payment and checkout were easy. I received an email stating that I would be matched with a writer. My writer was polite and helpful. I was asked for several examples of jobs that I wanted to attain. I was then asked well formulated questions about my life, work and achievements. The process was well coordinated. In the end I received a professional looking and sounding resume that I believe is better than what I previously had and seems to be better received than my previous resume.

Cons: The process to 8 days to receive my completed resume and cover letter. The content was good although I can tell that the writer I had new little to nothing of my industry and had she, I believe she would have done even better work. Upon completion of my resume, Katy was kind enough to run my new resume through your companies ATS and unfortunately the key words were not quite on target.

Take away to the buyer: I recommend this company and their service. The quality of the resume they produce is beyond that of which 99% of us would or could write for ourselves and since a resume is most people and companies first impression of you, a solid resume is well worth the price.

Take away to TopResume:
- In my opinion your process needs to speed up by around 2 days. Its quality but at around the 5 day mark most people get a little anxious.

- Work diligently to have writers whom know the industry for which the content is geared.

- Determine needed keywords prior to writing and then require writers to put the completed resume through your ATS for correction purposes. Include the final ATS report with the final resume as an additional proof of quality.

Well worth the small fee
February 18, 2017

Wow! This was fast, accurate and had an incredible turn around time. In 9 days, Nick transformed my resume in to an eye-catching, concise, snapshot of my last 15 years of experience. He was very friendly and took all my editing suggestions in to consideration. Well worth the money and saved me a ton of time trying to create my own.

I received an email shortly after I selected the plan I needed and I was informed that I would be contacted from the individual who would be working with me. She contacted me the following day via email, I answered some basic questions, and we set-up a time to have a phone conference. A day after the phone conference she sent me a draft of my resume and cover letter and, after review, it needed very little change. She also helped me with my LinkedIn profile, which made it more professional. All in all I am very satisfied with their professionalism, answering all of my questions, and making me more marketable. I would suggest them to anyone!

Needing Updated
February 18, 2017

I needed my resume updated for relevancy in today's job market, and with more current verbiage. Although I haven't worked in certain areas/disciplines in recent years, I am still very knowledgeable of the procedures and requirements needed for employment in those type of jobs. TopResume did a good job on the verbiage, although I still feel that the resume "dates" me and my abilities to qualify for a position. I have not had the response to my resume that was part of the initial reason for me signing up with them. Other than this issue, I have no problem giving them a good review.
