Totally impressed with the service. My consultant did an awesome job of designing a powerful document that reflects my skills.
I am very pleased with my experience. I was contacted immediately, asking for information so the writer could update my resume. When I requested changes they were done quickly. The cover letter was very well done. I submitted both for a job I wanted to interview for. During the interview the owner of the company said he was very impressed at the professionalism of my resume. Good news is that I was hired on the spot!
I love my final resume. With my decades of mismatched jobs, my writer brought it all into focus in a way I never could have. So glad I did it. My only regret is that, despite paying for the top level of service, the process took a couple of weeks to complete. Kinda put the breaks on my job hunt. But now I am confident that I will get better results from my resume submissions.
I needed a resume rewrite quickly. At this point, I have an extremely solid resume, cover letter, thank you letter and recommendations for changes to my LinkedIn account.
While there was some "friction", all of the people I worked with at TopResume were professional and the services provided were excellent. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone.
Very good timing. Writers are professionals and they address your concerns properly
Let's face it, we could all use some help with our Resumes. They get cluttered with years of information, and TopResume is the place to help get it all cleared up!
They did a wonderful job working with me to come up with a great resume
These people ripped me off of my money and out of job interviews. My original ONE PAGE resume got expanded into a TWO PAGER. After about 2 months with NO responses from any jobs I applied for, I contacted TopResume about a refund but they only offered me a rewrite. About a week later, they send me the exact same BUSTED resume they gave me in the first place, lol. They are just terrible and shame on them for scamming jobless people out of their money. I implore you to either do the work yourself and ask for proofreading OR do extensive research on these resume writing services. Thanks but NO THANKS.
I was very pleased with these services. I had my resume redone and a cover letter. My editor was very professional and responsive. She drafted my resume and cover letter then sent to me for review. I had a few comments and she made revisions in less than 48 hours. After she sent me the final product, I sent it to 2 prospective employers and got a call for an interview with both. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is looking to either create a new resume or update their resume.
The same day I submitted my resume I was sent a revision, it was mainly just a rework of the layout and grammar, but they did do an exceptional job rewriting my objective/qualifications section and "bragging" for me. My cover letter was written very well, also, I have already applied for jobs and got 2 inquires. The only slight negative would be that the layouts are bland being that I am in a design field and they only give you 7 days for 2 re-writes.
Paulina with TopResume did a great job improving my resume. She was also patient with my suggestions and questions and helped me in a timely manner. I highly recommend TopResume if you need your resume tweaked or totally made over.
I am very satisfied with my new resume. There were some revisions I did request and they were taken care of promptly.
I saw your profile and really liked what I saw, and want to know more...
I think the LinkedIn should be included as it's a copy and paste job. I basically waited for them to create one and give me the log in or ask for my log in but mostly had to take from the resume. The only real benefit was copy/paste of some of the bullet stars; however, it doesn't format correctly and took a lot of time to try and get a formatting that never really panned out. It's too early in the game to determine interview/profile view wise. I have reposted resumes and sent out some but no responses.
I also had no real expectations other than what were my own. Part of it was a series of questions that helped me answer or realize some of my own strengths. So, it's kind of like thank you for helping me help myself... sort of. I've never had to really rely or need a resume so I didn't know what I needed. All I know was my last one didn't sell me enough but unsure about this one at the moment.
I'm trying to re-enter the corporate world. I have a lot of experience as an entrepreneur, but was having a difficult time trying to translate that into a polished and interesting resume. After being matched up with a writer I as contacted very soon and she asked me for some information. After providing it to her she asked for more detail and I could tell instantly she knew what she was doing based on the leading questions she asked.
I got my first draft and was amazed at the difference! Suddenly my experience came to light and was backed by actual examples. It didn't seem passive anymore. She was still very concerned with my feedback which she did apply on the next draft. The cover letter was also well-written, to the point and versatile enough to apply to varying positions. I then opted for the LinkedIn page update and the instructions were very clear.
My only reason for not giving 5 stars was due to a slight lag after submitting my feedback and receiving the next revision. Otherwise it was a great experience and I am now proud to share my resume!
The specific package I ordered was $130 and it increased my resume views. It was an average of 1-2 day turn around between drafts. It only to one week and three revisions to make it perfect. Over all I am very happy with my result and have had 2 job offers in the past couple weeks.
TopResume did a great job with my resume and cover letter. The resume was too long and visually boring. They help to tighten up and transform my resume to be more sleek and and focused for my job search.
After purchasing the package the communication was immediate and very professional. If I requested some changes they sent the revised documents in less than a day.
The result was a very useful resume and cover letter with a complete update on my LinkedIn profile.
Strongly recommended.
Thank you Cindy for all the hard word done. You really went above and beyond. I couldn't imagine my resume any better. First Interview completed after 2 weeks from Cindy doing my Resume.
Danita (TopResume Writer) made my resume look so good, that I am pretty sure I would not have been able to do it myself. She reformatted my resume, compacted the content from a 4 page to a 2 page resume and still managed to include all the key aspects of my skills and experience. I would recommend this service to anyone who is looking for a job.
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.
