Ultimate Success
November 11, 2016

The resume I created was not getting the attention I was hoping; however, after contacting TopResume and having them create a professional resume that would get me interviews I received a job offer a week after using the resume and cover letter and then a second job offer the second week.

At first I was assigned someone who is not familiar with my career field of advertising creative professional. I contacted my rep and she immediately arranged for customer service to assign me a new writer. My new writer was not only familiar with my industry, but she rewrote my resume in a way that I felt made it much stronger. I will recommend TopResume to everyone whom I mentor when they are trying to rewrite their CV.

I have no regrets about using TopResume to give my outdated resume a fresh look. The end result was professional and well-organized (much better than what I could have done on my own), and the communication/feedback with my writer was prompt and equally professional-I absolutely would recommend this service to anyone needing to update their resume. Well worth the price I paid!

Dissapoint
November 9, 2016

If you do a little math, you pay approximately $130 and you get 7 working days with your writer. If the writer is dedicated only to you then you would expect the writer to earn much less than $500 a month, which is IMPOSSIBLE. So I should say I got what I paid for.

My writer worked fast and was responsive. Though at first she didn't understand the career path I wanted to enter and provided something totally deviant in the first draft, she was able to quickly learn and submit a revision.

However, I am very disappointed in her carelessness. I understand writers cannot devote time researching or understanding my needs but at least, I don't expect any spelling or formatting errors or incorrect info in my resume. Not a pretty resume? I am okay with it; Didn't capture what I requested? I am okay with it; But you didn't bother making formatting consistent? I don't know.

I received a first draft of a resume late on day 7 of submitting my resume only after contacting customer service and "Katie Warren" to let them know I had received no contact from a writer. I suggested changes for the second draft. I received the 2nd draft very quickly, but it had typos and not all of my changes were addressed. It just seemed thrown together. If I had it to do over, I would have done more research and probably would have chosen a professional local resume writer with a good reputation.

Got the job!
November 8, 2016

My TopResume rep was quick to respond to any questions and I loved the final product. After weeks of sending out my old resume with no bites, I got a job within one week of sending out my new resume. The interviewer even commented that my resume looked very professional.

Resume update
November 8, 2016

My resume was updated past my expectations with one error that I corrected.

The writer I worked with was very punctual and easy to communicate with.

Would recommend.

I wish my response rate was higher. Maybe a revision is necessary.

Professional looking resume with keywords appropriate for my fields and formatted to look appealing. Turnaround time within time frame promised - roughly 1 week. I did have to fix a spelling error, and correct my email address however, so make sure you proofread carefully (which should be doing anyway).

I chose the package that included a resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. All components were delivered on time and with excellent quality. The writer I worked with provided quick turn around for the first draft and for each revision. The writing and information was consistent across all three components. I had no issues or concerns.

Not Looking But Ready!
November 6, 2016

I wanted a more professional resume and LinkedIn page even though I am not currently looking for a new job. I thought I should have it on hand in case I wanted to apply for an internal promotion, or just in case. I was blown away. My resume looks and reads by far the best it ever has. It showcases my skills and hides my weaknesses extremely cleverly. Even though I didn't "need" it, it was a completely worthwhile exercise, and if I do need to look for a new role, I'm ready.

Professional service
November 6, 2016

I believe TopResume was worth the investment. I am very pleased with the outcome of my updated resume. Within a few weeks I received a phone interview and several in person interviews. I believe my resume and cover letter that TopResume edited for me stands out now and is reaching Hiring Managers desks.

Good, but not great
November 6, 2016

TopResume did a good job of cleaning up my resume, highlighting particular achievements and injecting it with catch words and phrases that I was not taking advantage of. Staff was very friendly and professional. However, the individual who did the rewrite wasn't completely knowledgeable with my field and at times it showed in terms of his lack of understanding certain subject matter and how to convey it within the resume. Cover letter was ok, fairly standard format, no real wow factor. I remember first seeing an email from them talking about how a new resume would get twice as many interviews, obviously I knew this was marketing but lets just say it hasn't gotten me anywhere near this claim.
