Excellent Service
November 16, 2016

I was very surprised by the result I received from TopResume. My writer was very thorough and he worked with me very closely with the changes. It seems like he researched and looked up what I did. The Cover Letter and Resume truly reflects my experience based on his research. Within a week, everything was all edited and ready to be sent out to potential offers.

Thank you!

I haven't gotten any interviews with my new resume, but the service was terrific. I loved that the interaction and response. Great format and verbiage. Waiting to see results from potential employers.

Well Done
November 16, 2016

I tried to re-write my resume twice but it didn't connect well what I wanted to convey to the employers and I feel it was very dated. Therefore, I decided to engage TopResume. My writer did a pretty decent work in re-formatting, re-wording and organizing salient points in my resume in such a way that it looks more professional. She was also very particular that we remain in our time frame to revise and finalize the resume. Lastly, despite the fact that I have received my final draft, she still remained open for any assistance I would need--- this is what I appreciated.

I would highly recommend their service.

November 13, 2016

Wish they were more responsive, I sent revisions and didn't hear back for almost 2 weeks. In the end I was very happy with what I received as the second revision. It really depends on what writer they chose for you with how many revisions you will need.

I would highly recommend TopResume if you need a resume from scratch or if your current one needs a revamping. The person I dealt with was extremely professional and rewrote my resume in no time!

Michael was very accommodating to my schedule, and was more than happy to go back and forth more than a couple of times for revisions/inclusions. Super happy with the final product of both resume and cover letter. Highly recommend!

Did a great job!
November 13, 2016

I got an offer for a free resume evaluation from one of the job search websites (Indeed?) and thought I'd give it a try. I received the evaluation from TopResume the next day. I thought the evaluation was bang-on! My resume was crowded and not visually pleasing. Admittedly I had used the same format for more than a decade, simply just adding items to it. But TopResume also evaluated it for how it would be processed by the candidate scanning/screening software used by many employers. Based on the evaluation and the reasonable price of the re-write I decided to go ahead. The writer did a great job. The end product was shorter, cleaner, and more effective. She taught me the resume has to be written for the screening software, the HR person reviewing it, and the hiring manager. I feel the language was a little "flowery", but she explained that using different adjectives helps get the resume to the next step in the process. It's true, I have gotten more hits and views with my new resume. Only complaint is I didn't know there was a 7 day time limit (maybe I didn't read the fine print). But TopResume extended the time limit by a few days and the 3rd revision was great.

Resume update
November 13, 2016

The writer did a good job of updating an existing resume (making the format more modern and cleaning up/focusing my work experience). So from a content update standpoint, the experience was positive. The let down occurred when I asked the writer several questions and instead of answering the questions the writer tossed another resume update at me. The two way conversation was lacking.

Great product
November 13, 2016

I had thought about using a resume service for some time, and finally settled on TopResume because Monster.com offered a free resume critic through them. I liked the feed back provided and within a week or so, TopResume was offering a discount so I went for it. My resume format had not been changed sin 2001, so it was time! I received my new resume within 3 days, and you get 7 more days to as for 2 revisions.

My only complaint is I did not get my first revision until AFTER the 7 days was over. I didn't have much more to change, and since they give you the resume in an editable format that was ok. But I feel they should have gotten my first revision to me sooner.

All in all, I am happy with the over all product.

The Resume Critique and Writing service was great from the time I requested the service through delivery. I purchased the package with Resume, Cover Letter and LinkedIn profile included, and couldn't be happier. The technical writer was prompt with delivery of the draft and subsequent revisions, and achieved something I couldn't do in getting my resume down to 2-pages. Highly recommended for those searching for their next opportunity.

As an engineer I try an avoid writing as much as possible. TopResume allowed me to avoid a weak resume that has not landed me a single interview. The communication was prompt and I had a rough draft in 2 days. After 5 days I had a final version that was far beyond anything I could have done.

They offer a guarantee that you will get interviews or they will re-write your resume. I had not received any interviews, contacted TopResume, and they assigned me a different writer to redo my resume. I again got what I think is a top notch resume and am sending it out now with great hope. I would work with them again anytime.
