So thankful!
January 22, 2017

I was honestly unsure about trusting TopResume with my Resume and Cover Letter after reading so many mixed reviews, but I'm honestly so thankful for them! Amber N was my writer and she was so friendly and asked as many questions as she needed to write an authentic resume and cover letter. When it was time for revisions, although I hardly needed any at all, she was very quick to respond with changes and was super responsive during all e-mails. I would absolutely recommend TopResume to anyone who wants their resume to stand out as professional and creative.

Good, not great
February 17, 2021

TopResume is great for re-focusing your resume on accomplishments instead of tasks. They also did a great job formatting my resume. However, they do not have the legal expertise to help with the substance. The cover letter sounded like a typical canned letter with repetitive statements.

Thank you TopResume
January 22, 2017

I work with TopResume and Alena on polishing my resumes for two job opportunities. Alena is a very helpful, communicative and dedicated resume editor.

Alena took a critical look at my resume and the job descriptions I sent to her. She went through the resume with a fine-tooth comb, pointing out even the smallest logical mistakes and refining it to perfection from content to tone and brevity. The resume reads fluent and persuasive and the layout looks elegant as well.

I feel very fortunate that I had a chance to work with Alena.

I was really impressed with TopResume. They did a great job doing a complete overhaul of my resume, not just changing a few words. We also agreed to do a new cover letter, that was very professional and helped spotlight my strengths along with an update on LinkedIn profile.

Lynda, the writer assigned to help me, was quick in her communicating how the process worked and make any changes I needed. I would strongly recommend TopResume for anyone that needed to update their resume, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile.

Excellent service!
January 22, 2017

I purchased one of their professional resume writing package expecting nothing but the best and TopResume did not disappoint. Safe to say, I am very happy with their services and would recommend them to anyone who is in the "job hunt" market and is struggling to get passed the resume filter phase. I have applied in 5 different companies and received 3 calls for an interview. Now it's time to sharpen up my interview skills and knock 'em out the park! Thank you TopResume!

TopResume is fast, efficient, and I had virtually no edits on their first draft. I landed an interview literally days after I sent out my "new and improved" resume. Saved me time and agony in re-writing and bugging colleagues to review. I also used their LinkedIn service which was fantastic as I really hadn't put much thought and no effort into my on-line presence. It is definitely more polished which is more reflective of my image

The technical writer assigned to me was very prompt and professional. I will definitely consider using them again to update my resume. I am in a waiting period regarding the need to rewrite. If they are truly an organization of their word will be determined later. However, thus far I am very pleased.

I'm very happy with the final result of my resume. Before TopResume it was poor, missing details and lacking creativity. Now I feel comfortable when sending it around LinkedIn and other sites. Thank's a lot!

Top resume was recommended to me and I'm very glad I utilized them. I did need to go back through and make adjustments after working with them to adjust verbiage and things of that nature, but for the price, I definitely feel like I have a solid new resume, focused on results. They did a really good job drawing that out, and even feel like the whole process prepped me well for interviews.

My writer Jen did an amazing job creating my resume. It exceeded my expectations and was more than I could have ever hoped for. By paying $50 to rush my order, I placed my order on a Monday around 2 pm and received a draft on Wednesday around 1 pm! In less than 16 work hours, Jen was able to transform my resume into a document that showcased my experience and skills! The first draft I received only required minor adjustments to add a little detail and the cover letter didn't have to be adjusted at ALL! Jen was accessible and very easy to communicate with, I would definitely recommend you using this service. Now I am wondering why I waited so long to get mine!
