The professional that rewrote my resume and cover letter and helped me with the Linked In updates was very quick to answer questions, had solid answers, gave me confidence in posting a resume that was a lot shorter than I'm used to having. He captured and highlight all of my skills and experience in a way that the recruiting systems are now catching them. The automatic emails with possible jobs are very close to what I'm intereted in. So i would definitely refer this service to all my friends.

I really appreciated the efficiency and professionalism shown throughout the process. The writer at TopResume carefully considered all the information that I provided and customized my resume and cover letter to suit my style. I didn't want any fancy, marketing jargon that doesn't really impress recruiters. I just wanted simple, honest adjectives that reflected my skills, as well as important industry keywords that the applicant tracking systems would catch. Staci reduced my resume from 3 pages to 1.5 and still managed to capture all the important points.

The staff at TopResume were extremely responsive to my feedback and accommodated any questions that I had. I was extremely happy with their service! I've had calls from at least 10 recruiters since I posted my resume a week ago. I have confidence that my resume is much more presentable now.

I took the package which has the LinkedIn makeover too. I am satisfied with my resume and cover letter. I also received few interview calls through my new resume.
I will definitely recommend this service.

I researched multiple companies as I was looking for that extra special shine to my resume to get it looked at by perspective employers. I ended up using TopResume because I was offered a free consultation and the feedback I received was surprising and a lot of thought had gone into the recommendations.
I purchased the mid-grade package for the resume and cover letter. I was assigned someone who took my resume and asked me some questions which I responded to that day. I received my draft one the due date (early would have been nice but I understand I probably wasn't the only resume she was working on).
Immediately I was taken aback by the format and errors within. While I'm seeking employment in Upper Management, the resume seemed tailored to a professional looking for a clerical position and highlighted that I could do payroll and things that I don't personally do but my staff do. It was filled with what I thought were buzzwords and the actual part that said ANYTHING about my current job experience was very limited and she had erased 6 years of my previous employment history before my most recent job.

I chalked this up to her being the professional but having spent a lot of money on something I needed to work I questioned the layout and resume in general and received a bit of a standoffish reply about having created hundreds of resumes.

My perception of the resume was not the only issue. There were errors that were obvious - cover letter said I had 15+ years experience while resume said I had 20+ years experience. Mind you the resume I had submitted had nowhere near 20 years experience since I'm only 29 years old and clearly I wasn't working when I was 9. My company name was spelled incorrectly and the town was also incorrect. This was just plain sloppy and although it was a first draft I immediately felt like I waited the entire period of time until the "due date" to receive a resume that was just thrown together with absolutely no thought process.
I ended up going through a round of edits and was still unhappy but I wasn't about to bring up the layout or format again since it got me nowhere the first time. I've applied to at least 25 places of business and have received very minimal feedback. I finally approached a headhunter and he very much disliked my resume. He said there was no way it was a clear indication of who I was. I've since created a new resume on my own and the $219 I have spent is now down the drain.
In closing, use as your own risk. I had high hopes but in the end was left disappointed.

Because I was very unsure of what I even wanted in a resume, it was hard for me to give input or even answer the general questions in the beginning. Fortunately, my writer was very good and did way better than I ever expected. As I am someone who works with numbers, not words, it was just the service I needed. I wouldn't have minded if the price was a bit cheaper, but considering the market, it was one of the cheaper services. Once again, I am extremely grateful and humbled by my writer. She did an excellent job!
