I just had my resume done up by TopResume. Response from Jo (writer) was quick. I am very pleased with my new resume now as many important details have been included and which I have left them out before. It looks impressive and professional. I received many calls for job interviews.
The TopResume resume writing service is highly recommended
I paid for one of the more affordable options to have the resume I created revised and re-written. With just a few revisions, they delivered a product I couldn't have done myself. Its actually difficult to write your own resume without an objective opinion. They provided that and was able to use key phrases and word structures often looked for by perspective employers. Ashly O. Was my writer and I think she did a good job.
I've been freaking out about writing a resume since I graduated! Not being able to write a good resume was really holding me back in life, and it made me feel bad, because my crappy resume didn't bring me interviews! I had no idea you could PAY someone to do it for you- and WOW. My girl was such a golden goose, she answered all my dumb questions and kept revising until I was totally happy. I am super proud to send out my resume because I look AWESOME! Not like an entry level millennial, but a real adult! Best money I've ever spent. If you feel stuck, because of your resume or cover letter, seriously, stop stressing, and use TopResume! It'll be the best gift you ever gave yourself. Or your recent grad!
I am a recent graduate and I submitted my resume for the free online critique. I appeared as a doer and not as an achiever, which seems to be the case for all of us. I checked the positive reviews and I figured I might as well give it a chance and have a PROFESSIONAL resume writer so that I can increase my chances to get into the market. I can't believe the positive reviews that Top Resume has! I truly believe they are all fake or paid off.
The resume I received had only a different format and it was essentially my submitted resume with a few minor changes and a lot of mistakes and typos. The cover letter? The cover letter was of the worst possible quality you can copy from any website. I tried contacting them with my concerns, I was reassigned to another "executive" writer only to realize that my minimal expectations won't ever be met. I tried proposing certain revisions etc and I got back comments like "it's a format that works", "this is what we've been using to other people"...
What threw me off completely is when I received the exact-identical-same cover letter from my second writer. The exact same? I thought WTF? Why am I paying so much money? So that you can send me templates and provide no personalized services?
Wondering about the LinkedIn service? Awful! They basically copy and paste the required fields from your resume and they provide you with basic instructions on how to build your profile. Information that you can easily acquire off the web.
It is a complete SCAM! There are no executive writers! They only care about taking your money and exploiting your vulnerability in the career search!
All in all it is safe to say that Sarah's suggestions/additions/rewrites have upgraded my CV and help make it more professional-looking and focused. Hopefully it will be useful to advance my career in the write direction.
One thing worth mentioning, is that I expected a much higher level of proofreading and much less typos and mistakes. It was not difficult to spot and correct, and maybe even understandable given the short turnaround time, but still it is something that I could not help noticing.
My resume had not been updated in over four years. After using TopResume I now have something that is looks great and is more appealing to HR recruiters. The writers are easy to work with and quick to respond.
Excellent service! Alana really improved my resume. Prompt, courteous and delivered my completed resume one day ahead of promised completion date.
I recently had my resume rewritten by Alana from TopResume. She gave my resume a new and professional look. My resume is much better presented and straight to the point. The whole process was done is less then a week. Alana worked thoroughly and quickly to assure I have the best resume possible. I would highly recommend TopResume to anyone who needs a great resume and cover letter that sets apart from other job applicants. A+++++++
Katie Warren and Kailyn B were top notch professionals!
I had a resume refresh and my LinkedIn profile updated and had my expectations exceeded on both!
The work was done in just 2 days and the phone hasn't stopped ringing since!

I recently had my resume written by TopResume and it was everything i expected. I now have a very professional looking resume that I am anxious to take for a test drive. Would recommend to anyone who needs a resume refresh.
TopResume is highly professional writing company, I loved the way they reconstructed my resume and wrote my cover letter. Each re-write was written very professionally and with great friendly response. Highly recommend!
LaShorne at TopResume gave my resume a new and professional look! My resume is much more well-presented, concise and straight to the point! Moreover, the tone of my new cover letter sets my application apart from other potential candidates as it shows both professionalism confidence. The whole rewrite process (two editions) was done in less than a week. I will definitely recommend it!
Hi guys,
I have used Top Resume to rewrite my resume and they took more time than anticipated but finally I got into an internship the next day with the rewritten resume. I don't know its luck or my resume. Hiring manager has seen my resume and told me this is what I'm looking for and I got an interview call.
I worked with Jen S on tailoring my resume. At first I felt my resume was good as it was, however, after having it reviewed, felt there was some improvement that could be made. Jen took my resume to amazing. I've only applied to a few positions with the new resume, but have already received interviews, which I do not think is a coincidence I'm getting after the update. She was professional and courteous and only a few very minor minor items were updated. Thanks to Jen S for all the hardwork.
The process worked very well however not happy with the end result. Have not gotten any hits since leveraging the newly designed resume. Found lots of misspelled words during the process. Also don't feel that all my ideas were captured.
Resume requirements change so often I decided to have mine professionally done this time. Best decision I have made. My writer Madaline worked with me and I had control over edits until I was satisfied with my resume. The process is quick and TopResume worked with me needing a little extra time due to bad weather in my area taking down my Internet. Well worth the money spent! Got the job I really wanted within 3 weeks of my new high quality resume, formatting made all the difference. Highly recommend having TopResume to get your resume done with proven results.
Got less interviews with the new resume and when I tried to reach out to them, I was shut down.
Avoid at all costs.
I needed help with my resume in adding catch words for the web filters. My profession needs certain words that make the search filters come up with more hits. After 2 reviews, my original resume looked great. I will recommend this company.
My experience with TopResume has been a very good one. I have ut off getting my resume updated quite some time due to costs such. However I was not getting the exposure from my current Resume. I decided to use a professional resume service. With the free evaluation from TopResume and after reviewing their comments, I decided to invest the money after looking at the cost compared to other companies. Not to mention their packages are very reasonably priced. The format of my resume was great and the wording was way better than what I had on my original resume. I definitely recommend to use TopResume and have also told others about TopResume.
I am so glad I decided to have TopResume re-write my resume. They were accurate and very speedy with getting my revisions back to me. I like have they have writers who work over the weekend. This definitely speeds up the process. I have recommend TopResume to a co-worker and to my husband. I received a phone interview a week after I posted my resume on Career Builders.
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!
