I was partnered with Ellen N. To help me get a resume that would highlight my career, and she did just that. The response time was great and the turnaround for the finished product was exceptional. She needed no direction from me, and she quickly took care of the changes I had requested which were wording and additions. She took care of the changes quickly and had them back to me with four days to spare. She did an excellent job of formatting and DID NOT use out of date wording. It was also written so that it is appropriate to use for a career change. Great job! My expectations were exceeded, and I am more than satisfied with my end result.
Excellent product, should extend the review period.
I received my resume and cover letter in time and the writer is professional and would like to listen to your advice. He write several draft for me until the resume looks perfect.
I received an honest critique of my current resume and an up to date professional resume. I now have a renewed hope for my job search. Thank you.
Alvin was my writer and he was amazing. I would recommend them to anyone.
I firmly believe in having a professional create a resume that represents you in the manner that highlights your abilities, and success. Miranda from TopResume delivered my resume to me on time, and on point, even through the Thanksgiving holiday. Great experience!
I wanted a fresh look for my resume - after many years in my field, I knew I needed a renovation and remodel of my resume and the person who helped me did a fantastic job not only with my Resume, but also with a sample cover letter and rewriting of my Linked In profile. I'm extremely happy with the results!
I work in Education and I was struggling to get my resume viewed by employers. Hired TopResume and worked with a great consultant (who put up with many annoying questions from me). In the end, used their resume and cover letter to get an interview with Harvard, so I'd definitely recommend them to anyone!
I'm so glad I stumbled upon TopResume on Facebook. I was needing some serious help re-working my resume but just didn't know where to start. My TopResume writer, Heather, was brilliant and the final product was just what I was looking for. She also did a cover letter and LinkedIn profile for me and I'm so glad I purchased this package. It was worth the investment and I'm so happy with the end result!
I worked with Melodee on creating a new resume that outlines what I had done in the past aiming to achieve my future career objective. She was a true professional, knowing all the latest trends in writing a perfect resume, how to use active sentences instead of passive, how to simply only use Microsoft Word formatting to keep the resume file size small and make it as easy as possible for ATS to digest the contents and finally how to show achievements for an experienced manager was the key to demonstrated my leadership skills. With her guidance and right questions we were able to re-create my resume in only few days. I did enjoy working with her, she's very efficient and is the right person to go to if you want to get your resume to work for you!
From the start the people at TopResume were very proactive and helped me get what I needed. They did not stop after the first draft and went above and beyond
Great experience. Easy process. The writer was excellent to work with for changes!
As it has been decades since I needed a resume, I choose TopResume to handle my make-over. I opted for the Executive Priority option as it not only gave me the properly formatted resume along with the professionally written cover letter but, it also included updating my LinkedIn page. My writer Matt was extremely helpful and responded in a timely manner.
Prompt, very technical support.
Extended my review period when i was traveling
Jerry was very technical and he explained the reasoning behind each change.
I obtained a job interview using an intermediate draft... imagine what results the final version would bring.
Had my first Monster resume in 2008 and now in dec 2016 - excellent job
My new resume is very professional compared to my previous version. The writer was able to highlight my skills and achievements impressively. I highly recommend TopResume.
I hate writing résumés and they were able to update my work experience and prioritize what I needed to feature without much struggle on my side. The critique helped me see what I needed to change and I was able to offer paragraphs of my achievements to them to summarize. The only issue I had was overstating my abilities in my first revision, but with my input the 2nd rewrite nailed it! My cover letter was bland, but I was easily able to customize it to each role I've applied for.
Monster offered a free resume critique and it was very helpful. Based on that, I decided to go with them for a full resume rewrite and cover letter. The results were very professional and I would recommend them to my friends.
For busy professionals, it's often a lot of work and hard to get around to update a resume. This was a good way to have mine updated in case I need to use it.
Made my good resume and cover letter great. Excellent service, my writer was attentive and helpful.
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.

Answer: Don't waste your money. All of these "reviews" are probably fake. I actually paid them $189 and never even got a usable resume. Find a better company. These guys are crooks!
