I was very impressed by how quickly my resume was returned to me. The writer did an excellent job of taking the information that I already had and rewriting my resume so that everything stood out so much more. It was very professional and I'm very pleased.
I have been looking for a job a for over 3 months now and hesitated initially to pay for a revision to my resume. When I finally signed up with Topresume the writer assigned to me (Terry) really captured the essence of my experience. On the day of my completed resume I sent it to my top job picks. They immediately contacted me for interviews and just today I had my second interview. This was a great investment!
For way, too long, I believed that my resume was perfectly written. In my eyes, it accurately conveyed my unique and outstanding qualities. Maybe I believed this because I had written it. They say that the worst lawyer in the world is the client who represents himself. I knew this axiom to be true but allowed arrogance to deceive me. The bottom line was that my resume was not up to par. Perhaps this was the main reason why I was not having success in landing my preferred jobs.
TopResumes detailed critique of my resume stunned me. The comments and advice that the company offered forced me to reconsider revising my resume and to develop a better strategy for presenting myself to prospective employers.
I asked some of my friends who worked in H. R. departments or routinely hired people to give me an honest assessment of my resume and TopResumes critique of it. They and TopResume agreed; my resume needed substantial work if I was going to present a polished image of myself.
After reading the companys website and blogs, I better understood what a resume would do for me and how a poorly written one could ruin my chances of landing a specific job.
In todays job market most H. R. departments and hiring managers are determined not be make the wrong hire. They prefer hiring no one than getting stuck with the wrong person for the job. More importantly, statistics reveal that most job seeking candidates are eliminated within the first few minutes of their first interview. I knew that if I could get into the hiring managers office, I and not my resume would have to talk my way to the next round of interviews.
I asked TopResume to rework my resume and to prepare an appropriate cover letter. The documents were professionally prepared and delivered on time. The companys document preparer who worked with me was professional, diligent and courteous. I was confident that she knew what she was doing. She requested my input on regular basis. I am 100% satisfied with the services that I received from the company.
My reworked resume and cover letter have allowed me to open employers' doors that had been previously shut to me.
The staff was very professional and friendly. I received my finished resume and cover letter in a week as promised. I have submitted the new resume to several positions, and really hope that I start seeing traction.
I was assigned a writer and received a rough draft within a day of purchasing my services. It was a very pleasant experience I would recommend to anyone without the time or knowledge to create a pleasing resume to build confidence when interviewing.
This is my first time to pay such kind Online Service, I uploaded my resume on the website and then get the first draft version, and new format of my resume does look better. But the content is not as good as I expect, the writer asked me waiting for 7 days to get the new resume and finally I found the writer just copy and paste my experience without improve modification. If I've known such kind of service, I will not PAY it at such price because I could just google it. At last, the writer provided me the link to download and luckily, I clicked to double check and found the version was wrong. Luckily, the writer then correct it. I suspect the writer is a student because his/her unprofessional service. I even don't know writer's background so how could I believe he will bring me a good service?
To be honest, the company itself has enough communication. I hope the company could share me the experience of the writer and appreciate it if I could choose who can service for me other than pick up someone to me without any choose.
Thanks to TOPRESUME work, my resume is now showing as achievable person instead of a doer. The document is clear and straight.
Loved the resume implemented what I asked and great friendly staff. Did everything I asked them to although I did like the first cover letter over the second but it's completely fine. Now I have two to work with.
I was very impressed with the short time it took for them to create a very professional looking resume and cover letter. I was also impressed that the writer incorporated all of the job details that I wanted to express in the resume. Overall, I think this company was great, and I would suggest this company to anyone looking for a great looking resume and cover letter.
The turn around time was fast. The resume writer was professional and really walked me through on her reasonings for content and formatting.
My writer Joanne H. Was very timely, highly engaged, and exceedingly helpful. I came in with a 20+ year history and resume reflective of that; she did in a couple of days what took me years to do (except she did it right!), and cut down a ridiculously long and uninspiring resume to something that was impactful and showed what I bring better than I could have ever said it. I even got very valuable input on my LinkedIn profile, and I thought I had that down pat! Invest in yourself; it will be the best money you spend all year, guaranteed.
After years in the Telecom Industry, I made a decision to try something new, Formal Education. Five years in that pursuit convinced me I missed the industry. Now, how to combine and convert the knowledge I garnered during those years into a marketable brand? Enter TopResume. My resume needed a new look, highlighting my strengths and experiences. I agreed to a resume analysis, a no nonsense review, outlining weaknesses, and offering viable solutions. I was very satisfied with the results, and would recommend others in a similar position to give TopResume a try.
These folks really streamlined my resume, brought it down to two pages and preserved the key and relevant parts of my roles and responsibilities without sacrificing any of my accomplishments on the resume. I got three calls within two days of using their services and submitting the resume they re-wrote for me. And, they provided the rewrite in just a few days. The writer I worked with was responsive and collaborated well. I am very pleased and know that they will have a fantastic new job soon thanks to their help.
I recently found myself on the job market and knew I needed to update my resume and build a strong LinkedIn profile to increase my odds with potential employers. I initially had the free review of my resume and received some very valuable feedback very quickly. With the free information I felt I could revise my resume but it would take time and I really wanted to just start my job search. I opted for the package that includes a resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile because if it gets me a new or better paying job faster then it would be well worth it.
I sent my current resume and an older one in because I have skills from older jobs I want to include but couldn't figure out how without making my resume a mile long. They asked that I send them links to three jobs I was interested in to help tailor my resume. This was a quick and thoughtful process. In less than a week, I had a brand-new resume, cover letter, and directions and information for my LinkedIn profile. I exchanged emails at least once daily with my resume writer so I didn't slow her down waiting for me to get back to her when she had questions or she sent me a draft. I was honest with my information and she was able to take what I said and make it enhance my resume.
The new resume looks great and the cover letter is making a good impression. I'm getting calls for interviews and I'm excited about the possibilities. I highly recommend this company and service
Very impressed with the professionalism, timeframe, and results. I highly recommend. Definitely worth the money!
Could not be happier. Literally within 2 days of getting my finished new resume, I have interviews scheduled. I also ordered a cover letter which really boosts my value. Would use them again in the future for sure.
I've had trouble successfully adding experience and skills earned outside of my primary role so I purchased TopResume's Executive package. The first draft I received did not do the trick so I created a chart of my accomplishments outside my primary roles and sent it to my writer asking to have them included. I was very happy with the final results and would recommend this service to anyone looking for a resume facelift.
I am very pleased with the results of my resume and cover letter, was worth every penny. I can an interview in amazing time. I have had many hits. Michael R. Was very and informative and responsive. I am a happy customer. I can't say enough
Great service but just need a little of attention to details. Had to point out dates and detail that are located on my linked profile.
Resume looks extremely professional along with cover letter. Looking forward to having potential employers contacting me
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.
