I personally would recommend TopResume to everyone (experienced professionals, recent college students, etc.). TopResume has done an outstanding and amazing job in terms of highlighting and bringing out all of my skills, talents, and experiences based on reviewing my original resume. I really appreciate how TopResume was able to provide a free complimentary review of my original resume and provided very insightful and valuable feedback of what potential employers are looking for. TopResume provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process to ensure that all of my ideas and concerns were meet. I would suggest potential jobseekers consult the professionals for help to effectively market their talents and skills.

Polished and Outstanding
January 15, 2017

I would absolutely recommend TopResume to anyone who is need of a resume makeover. My resume writer Dominique was very quick, professional and detailed. She made me stand out above the rest of the other candidates. Once, I had received my final draft I applied to an open position at Walgreen's Corporate, I received a job interview and less than 2 days I was offered the position that same week.

The great service.

The writer replied my documents quickly as well as accurately. He also provided me with so many advice regarding how to make a good resume. The questions I offered to the writer were also answered quickly and clearly.

Satisfied
January 14, 2017

The resume writers did a good job. They did make a couple of mistakes and I did have an issue which caused a switch to a second writer. The first writer asked me three times what time zone I was in. She appeared to not be paying attention to my answer. She knew where I lived, and that I was not traveling, yet she kept asking me what time zone I was in. It was frustrating, and when I expressed this frustration, she was upset and requested to be taken off the assignment, so I was given another writer. The second writer was very nice and I had no issues with her. The first writer also ignored a key line in my cover letter that I wanted her to use. The second writer used this line without reservation. If I had been assigned the second writer from the beginning, I'd give a 5 star rating.

Overall I was happy with the end result. The final resume and letter are solid and I feel confident using them in my search.My issue was that it took longer than promised and my input wasn't incorporated in the revisions. The first writer that was put on my project didn't deliver in the promised time frame and I had to reach out to find to find out the status of my job. She told me 'she didn't know what happened?' When my first draft was delivered it didn't include specific content that I requested. She also told me she couldn't access my linkedin account which I specifically asked her to review. I contacted someone directly at TopResume and they quickly connected me with another writer. This experience was definitely better although again some of my direct input wasn't incorporated and I had to make some revisions of my own on the final version. So my opinion is a bit mixed. The first writer really had an impact on my opinion.

I'm so happy with my new resume! My writer and I wrote back and forth at least 7 times to get it right. I really enjoyed the collaboration that led to my best resume yet. After 26 years in my career, it was hard for me to look at my experience with fresh eyes. My TopResume writer took the time to understand my goals and I love the finished product.

Love my new resume
January 13, 2017

I had TopResume do a complimentary review of my 10 year old resume. I was very surprised to find out just how much resumes have evolved in that time. I was impressed with their suggestions and hired them to remake my resume. The process is very easy; upload your resume, they rewrite it, you suggest revisions, if any, and then get your final version. I am very happy with my resume and even got an interview from the first company I applied to with my new resume!

TopResume
January 13, 2017

I decided to hire Top Resume after receiving a lot of rejection emails to jobs I applied for. I realized I needed to get more interviews and maybe it was my resume that wasn't standing out. I've been in management for over 10 years and recently got my degree in something else. I am hopeful that I will get more call backs now that I have a resume that captures all my merits and accomplishments.

Excellent Service!
January 13, 2017

I was impressed with the initial feedback and suggestions for my resume. The honest suggestions were the determining factor to utilize the service. I was not disappointed! It made sense to go with the premium package as it included the necessary information to upgrade my LinkedIn page as well. As a result of the standard of service provided, my wife has decided to also become a client!

Awesome experience
January 13, 2017

This was my first time using a resume service like this. I will say that they did a commendable job customizing my resume for my career goals. First, they made my resume appear very professional and compact. Second, they worked with me to understand my experience and my goals and then re-worded the sentences, made them short, professional and powerful and pleasantly surprised me all through. I will recommend this service to anybody without hesitation.

Blown away!
February 17, 2021

I was skeptical at first with using a resume company promising a great revised product but I bit the bullet and hired TopResume to revamp my resume. Am I so glad I did! It came back amazing I couldn't believe how great it was! I submitted to job postings right away and a day later I got two calls for interviews. I couldn't believe it. I am so impressed with my new resume and highly recommend doing this no matter what stage you are in the job market. It's worth every penny!

Before turning to TopResume, I tried another resume writing company. Within 2 days of hiring their service, I was asking for my money back and opted for TopResume. What a difference between a professional company like TopResume, and their competitors. NO COMPETITION! My assigned writer at TopResume was thorough, clear and concise, and created a awesome product. It has only been a week since I received my finished product and have sent it to several job postings. Thus far I have had excellent responses with this new resume. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for professional assistance in getting their experience and worth out on paper.

After being out of the job market for the past 8 years it was hard for me put together and polish all my work experiences into a resume that was concise and professional. TopResume did that and much more. Customer service was above board and helped me make the final touches. Thanks!
