October 2016 - I purchased the executive package and received elementary school results.
As an IT software development program/project manager with 25 years experience across multiple Fortune 500 companies, I thought having a professional writer's group rewrite my resume was appropriate at this juncture. My expectations were for a fresh, dynamic, and pithy representation of my diverse experience. I expected a high caliber resume I could directly submit to any position which I was applying.
What I received was a cut and paste version of the resume wording that I had submitted along a request for me to 'fill in the blanks' sections on the resume! WTF?
I believe mostly all quality was sacrificed for the sake of honoring their 2 day commitment on the executive package. I suspect the resume writer's are free lancers who are assigned client work perhaps based upon bidding for them.
Controlling any writer's quality and consistency is surely challenging but is not any excuse for Topresume to deliver highly unsatisfactory results to the end client!
Katie W., I await your reply as I have already directly messaged your team on FaceBook as you have suggested for previous customers who have posted very similar unhappy results.
I selected the package that included resume, cover letter, and linked in profile. My resume was in need of a long overdue refresh. I was very impressed with the prompt service, responsiveness and organization. I would highly recommend this service and package to any busy professional needing the push to overhaul their resume and profile.
I hired TopResume to rewrite my resume about a month back. They were quick and easy to sign up for and were timely in the task paid for. The final product was good and I was ok with it. But, once that time had come and gone... They were quick to stop answering questions and I come to hear that they didn't even have someone that specialized in my field. When I asked about timing and why my question/s have not been answered, I get a somewhat dismissive email on how tough the market is, which is clear, and no answer on why my writer cut communication off before my final draft. Time will show, I have till Nov 4th for my 60-day mark.
THE BEST EXPERENCE OF MY LIFE. TOP RESUME GAVE ME THE NECESSARY TOOLS FOR SUCCESS. This is the second time i hiere their service, because i will get quality and
So let me start with the bad. Which of course, the price. It is expensive, but so is pretty much anywhere you get your resume done. It is actually quite a bit cheaper than some other places I saw.
I thought the person who did my resume did a fantastic job. I am in the culinary field and she had a great understanding of how to sell my good points. There were a few revisions but they were fixed perfectly. A+ from me
I recently began my job search and found that my Resume was woefully ineffective and an unimpressive tool for my job search. TopResume was contacted and while I was cautious, I felt confident that they would provide me with the necessary direction to make me stand out with my Resume. The interaction was timely and professional. I was particularly impressed with the research that was done on one of the organizations to which I was previously employed so that the correct organizational vision and objectives were identified. I would highly recommend TopResume to anyone. I got a Job Interview with the first application submitted. Truly awesome experience. No regrets.
I was never to comfortable with how my resume looked from what I had done to it. I could never writing it with the correct words or structure it in a way to make it look and feel professional. When TopResume finished it, I was extremely happy with not just how they worded it, but also how it was structured. Even the lay out that it now has, is nothing that I would have ever thought of or even considered.
I will alway recommend TopResume to my friends.
My new resume is grea, I have reverso interviews this week.
I rarely write reviews, however I felt this was an instance where I needed to reach out and let prospective clients hear about my experience. I worked with Fred on my resume and he communicated throughout the process, which was speedy and productive. There are services that charge 2-3+ times what TopResume charges, and I just can't see the value. Fred and TopResume did a terrific job in terms of speed, quality, and value. Thanks!
Great experience, but the time period given for revision is short. A little bit more time was needed to have 2 revisions done.
TopResume did a fantastic rework of my resume. The writer redid my resume in ways I had not considered and was able to work in experience I thought was irrelevant to my current job search. I was very pleased with the outcome. Also, the turn around time was fairly quick. All my concerns and inquiries were addressed promptly. I highly recommend TopResume.
If you need your resume reviewed try this company, they are outstanding. They redid my and it looks great. I am glad I used them

Hired TopResume through their affiliation with Monster.com. I signed up for the resume and LinkedIn update on a Thursday morning. After attaching my current resume and answering a few simple question I received my first draft later that afternoon. I asked for a couple of minor edits and received my final package on Saturday afternoon. Overall, very happy with the service and have already recommended them to a friend who is now going through the same process
I wasn't getting anywhere fast. I had my resume, cover page and linkedin redone and the first place applied to with the new version, I got a call back.
My writer Jen was fast, thorough, and easy to work with. She was very professional and my resume looks amazing now because of her. I'm so glad I did this... my only regret was not doing sooner. Totally worth it!
I was truly impressed with this service. I thought that it was a bit pricey at first but after my complete experience, I didn't think anything of spending that much money for the quality of professionalism alone. They found me a match within a couple of hours of someone to write my resume. She was absolutely great to work with and every email that I sent to her provided a response within no more than an hour. I felt like she was talking to me personally and that she understood a lot of my requests. I needed mine back soon as possible as I was applying for a job with a deadline date. I voiced that information to the writer and I literally felt like that was the only thing she must have worked on that day. By the end of the day, I received my drafted resume. It looked very professional. Very well done, Elizabeth!
I had an older biographical resume that had a complete history of my 45 years working. I had found out that the current education system does not teach the attention span needed to read the entire 2 pages of small type. Top Resume had a very bright individual redo the resume in a fashion that was great. I have gotten a lot more responses with this newer resume.
I have always struggled with my resume when looking for a job. I changed careers and thought it was time for my resume to look professional when I started to look for employment. TopResume made it easy. I could finish school and let them do my resume. I was not disappointed. They did a great job. I highly recommend TopResume!
Prior to Top Resume, I had a 4 page resume PLUS a cover letter that I knew was way too long and probably holding me back from getting hits from Recruiters however I was so enamored with my own writing that I didn't have the discipline to cut it down myself. After I got a very comprehensive critique from the folks at Top Resume that I had to agree with, I broke down and paid to have them redo it for me. In fact, I signed up for the Executive package and got the cover letter and LinkedIn profile along with the resume because they worked with me on the pricing and also did an amazing job with my final product that exceeded my expectations. So much so that they actually was able to satisfy my needs in just one draft! Very pleased and using my new Top Resume version of my documents to put myself back out there with confidence!: 0)
I got my Cover letter and the Resume done within 2 weeks. And it was done exactly the way i want in a very professional manner to fit my needs. Thanks alot. I was able to send it for my graduate admissions as well as for job posting.
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!
