Great service!
November 1, 2016

The writer assigned to me did a fantastic job of overhauling my old resume. My version was too detail oriented. The writer took a step back and helped me portray with overall accomplishments and make things more concise. Great service - highly recommended.

Dominque A. Was my writer and did a great job on my resume. They asked a few clarifying questions to be sure they had a understanding of my accomplishments to produce the first draft. If I had questions the response time was quick. After a few minor adjustments the second draft was sent. Dominque was extremely accommodating and did everything to make me happy. The end result was a very professional resume that was appealing to the eye marketing my experience better than I could. I would Highly recommend Topresume.

Poor communication
October 31, 2016

At first I did not want to leave any feedback, but I decided why not. I did not like the service, communication and final product I got.
I contacted and pay for my resume because English is not my native language and I was needed help with correct English and technical part as well.
When I got my first draft, I was really confused, because in technical terms it was copy/paste from my own resume I sent as an example, and some parts of this resume was not written right in technical terms and was just copy/paste to my draft.
I asked the writer if she has a technical knowledge in field I am working (her English was perfect, no questions, but resume is not only about English) I think she got angry, she wrote to me that she is professional and know what she is doing. When I asked about some changes, I got answer in 4 days, and changes she made I did not like at all. She never asked any questions and communication was zero, I felt like she doesn't care at all.
At the end I am not Front End/Full Stack Developer; from resume she wrote I more like Web designer with set of technologies I even was not ever working with. I don't know how she even came up with those technologies.
But formatting was good.

Great experience
October 31, 2016

It was a great experience to have someone professional help you rewrite your resume. Julia was my writer and she was very quick with the edits and overall was a professional writer. I still need to see if the money spent to revise the resume is worthy, since I havent had a chance submit my resume yet.

I've purchased the Executive Plan on a Sunday night, was matched with a writer within an hour and around Monday mid-day got the first draft. It took only 3 iterations of questions and adjustments to come to the final results and it was all done until Wednesday noon.

Final resume looked highly professional, nicely organized, focused on important details.

As a minor setback I can mention the Executive Plan said they will reorganize my LinkedIn profile as well, but instead I've received guidelines how to do it myself. The guidelines were personalized to my specific profile with text from my professional experience, so it's probably a security related decision to not ask for any credentials and direct update.

In general I'm highly satisfied, would recommend their services to anyone.

When I sat down to give my resume a much-needed makeover, I began researching what to prioritize, what hiring managers like to see, how to best put your skills and experience in writing, etc. Needless to say, the task at hand was about to take hours and hours of time I didn't have. That's when I stumbled upon TopResume, and I'm so glad I did! They helped match me with a resume expert with experience in my field, and the rest of the process would prove quick, easy, and so helpful! So worth the money even got a discount offer! Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding & Impressive
October 28, 2016

TopResume writer, Sallie M, was assigned to me to modernize my resume, and add impact so it would pass the 6 second test.
She did an outstanding job of modernizing my resume - it's an outstanding improvement of what my resume looked like before her enhancements.
I wholeheartedly recommend TopResume, and I've already been referring my friends to TopResume because of their impressive work!

Graet Service

Great communications and prompt service. Produced a nice resume for me.
Would have given a 5 except for cost, a bit more than expected for service, especially considering many people seek this service due to unemployment.

Excellent job
October 28, 2016

While looking for a new job I had the need to get my resume reviewed and revised and was looking for some company who great reputation. I ran into TopResume's ad on Glassdoor to provide a free resume review. I am glad I took that chance and I was impressed by their observations and suggestions to improve the odds of my resume getting noticed my the recruiters and hiring managers. I decided to get their paid service to get my resume rewritten along with cover letter and thank you letter. I also opted for their linkedIn profile update and job posting. In each these things they did an excellent job. The person Karuna, I worked with was very professional and responsive. I loved working with her. I immediately started seeing the difference as soon as they posted my resume online to job sites. My phone started ringing incessantly with recruiter calls and within matter of weeks I landed with multiple job offers.
It was a pleasure working with TopResume and I will definitely recommend it. I will choose them again in future if I ever had to avail similar services.
