This place is a rip off, they take advantage of unemployed customers. You tell them what you want on your resume and cut it in half and then they send you a Resume that is not adequate, then they make one change (so they say) and then say they will not make any more changes. You call your Credit Card Company and after many emails they say that because their "no refund policy" they cant do anything. Basically you are giving your Money away to Top Resume. You will then have to call Master Card or Visa directly and go around your bank policies to let them know that your bank who is supposed to be helping you broke the guidelines set by Master Card or Visa. Bottom line "DO NOT USE THEM" I even send the crappy Resume they did to another company and they deemed it to be only 70% efficient. TRUST ME DONT USE THEM
I've got a clean, updated resume super fast and instructions on how to update my Linkedin profile in a matter of a couple of days.
I will definitively recommend Top Resume to my friends!

The writer was flexible to make changes and adapt to my needs. I liked the result, though it is early to judge its effectiveness.
What a great experience it was working with TopResume! It was complete worth it having a professional look over my resume and help spice it up! My TopResume consultant was very responsive and overall I am very pleased with my service!
If I could sum up the experience in three words: They get you. I bought the resume, cover letter, and linkedIN package. I haven't finalized my last element but the delay has been on my part. They are proactive and quick to turn out and turnaround your documents based on your edits and areas of emphasis. They are well formatted, and easily adaptable products. You couldn't ask for more.
Like many of professionals, I felt I had the skills to develop my own resume effectively. After years and years of re-working my resume to try to find a "one-size-fits-all" resume, I began to think I might be including too much information. I came across a TopResume ad on Facebook that offered a FREE evaluation and decided to try it out. When I received the evaluation, at first I was slightly offended but after really looking at what the evaluator saw, I couldn't help to agree. I thought I could make those changes on my own. However, I went ahead and decided to leave it to the pro's. WOW! What a great resume they did for me! I like that it has a new perspective that highlights my achievements yet gives me the flexibility to tweak it to specific positions. Great job!
This was my first experience with a professional resume service. TopResume turned out to be a great choice for me. Very easy to work with, my resume writer contacted me almost as soon as I clicked "submit". The process of creating the resume was very easy, my writer was very open to communication, suggestions and feedback. Their responses were very timely, there is a "clock" running, 7 days I think. I am very pleased with the finished product. Yes I would recommend TopResume to anyone needing help in the current job market
Overall top resume did a pretty good job with my cover letter and resume. They changed the format, wording and over all I'm very pleased. I wish there would have been a little more personalization with the process maybe a phone call with the writer. I often would ask a question about something in my resume and they would just delete it and not explain the reasoning.
My writer was very prompt with replying to emails. The resume and cover letter she wrote for me really catered my needs and included everything i described in the questionnaire.
I decided to use top resume after using a resume writing service several years ago with great success (found through Monster.com's recommendation) and was I wrong. First review came back with writer not following my request for updated resume, as well paid $50 2 day express delivery! WASTE of MONEY as final result was not great, and well over 2 days; nor did I confirm final version was ok. All together cost about $180 and doubting final result
TopResume went above and beyond. They answered all of my questions in a timely manner. They put key words on my resume that will attract the attention of Talent Scouts. I thought my resume looked good before. There is no comparison from my old to my new resume. I would recommend them to anyone.
The folks at TopResume were great! They reviewed my resume quickly and developed concrete suggestions. The turnaround time for revisions was very fast and the team was responsive! Nice work!
I always thought I had a pretty good resume and cover letter, but after going through this service I realized that I had been underselling myself all along. The writer that I worked with, Traci, was excellent. She took my suggestions into account and gave feedback on what items should be highlighted and what shouldn't be. I am very pleased with the end result.
I'm very happy with my resume, I would have not been able to write something so graceful and professional. I just started using the new resume, so it's too early to tell if there services are worth it, however I'm hopeful.
Top resume is an amazing company that asked all the right questions to make my resume look appealing to all employers. I was impressed with constant checking up on my information and I was also impressed with how well put together my resume looked!
Its been some time since I have been in the market for a job, and I was using an out of date format that wasn't making it thru HR reviews utilizing the latest evaluation techniques. I also needed a resume that dug a little deeper and highlighted my skill sets in a format that HR reviewers would take the time to read. I got what I needed from TopResume. A resume that presents my strengths, doesn't get mired in the details and works with modern keyword searches to flag me as a candidate they want to talk to.
I found TopResume through a promotion on Glassdoor. I had one bad experience with my resume presenting me all wrong in an automated system so I took TopResume up on a rewrite. Working with the writer was easy, she even worked over the Christmas holiday. Two days after I signed off on the resume I uploaded it for a job application and it came through perfectly. I got the interview and the job. I then hired them to update my LinkedIn account. All of this is giving me a much better public, professional presence. I highly recommend the service to anyone.
Excellent people working in TopResume!
I am Syed, One of the job seekers in middle east market I was completely frustrated of rejection from the several or hundreds of the company but one day I was searching a job on monster Canada job site while my searching I found resume analysis service free so I went through that later I got the mail which given me shocked that about resume my thinking was very different later on I come to know that resume is not only a piece of information only! It is a rocket which you have to launch into the job market. TopResume is the best among the other similar company because they do not say fake story or unfair treatment whatever true they said me without any exaggerating promise that I liked and opted the paid service and result is now within couple of weeks at least I had an interview call which given me awesome feelings and a confidence booster.
Thanks a lot
Having my resume re-worked by Top Resume is a game changer. I find myself back in the job market unexpectedly after 25 years with the same employer and feel confident that I have a resume profile that highlights my qualifications, experience, skills and my potential to be an asset to any organization. Highly recommend.
Very professional, quick and complete. Very pleased with my new resume. I have already received positive feedback on it. I have already referred friends to TopResume.
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.
