Rocky start strong finish
September 27, 2016

Based off the feedback I received from the free review I knew there were some changes that needed to be made. Before continuing with the paid services I did my research to make sure this was the right investment. Once I received my writer I was unhappy with the first draft and express that to my trail writer who was instantly responded to see why I was unhappy. The customer service was great which played a major role in the turnaround of my experience. Once I express my concerns to the writer my next draft was a complete 180. I am very happy with the finish product and service even with the slight hiccups

Excellent Service
September 27, 2016

TopResume really transformed my draft resume and gave me an enhanced resume and cover letter that was worth every penny paid. They were willing to work on my draft documents even over the weekend! I recommend TopResume to anyone looking for professional input to their resume content and style.

I was a little skeptical about having my resume redone as my work history is somewhat complex. I was very pleased with what TopResume was able to do. They did it fast and had excellent communication during the process. I would certainly recommend them.

It is worth the cost.
September 26, 2016

My resumé was very boring and did not showcase my talents. TopResume made a resumé I can be proud of. I had a phone interview the day after I posted my new resumé.

Good service
September 26, 2016

Overall the services provided by top resume were great. The writer was great and did a nice job. My only reason for not giving 5 stars was the time frame felt rushed and would have appreciated 2 weeks as a standard. Additionally, I felt at times the writer did not pay attention to certain details or aspect of my current career path vs old.

I'm over 50 and creating a resume for the first time in my life. I had no idea where to start. I am so glad that I clicked the box for a free TopResume resume evaluation. The process was simple. My evaluation was thorough and spot on. The resume I now possess is one that not only tells hiring managers who I am, but is one that I can hand out with confidence and pride.

Timely and Well Done
September 24, 2016

It was great to get an objective third party to write my resume. My reviewer was dead on in communicating my skill set. Thanks, TopResume. I took it to a job fair and many were interested. They could pick out at a glance what my strengths were rather than having to search the entire resume to find them. Great job!

Confidence Boosting.
September 24, 2016

I found the experience of getting my resume re-written very rewarding. It was great to have some one pick out and highlight my strengths and skills and collate them in an impressive way that I had not previously been able to do writing my story myself. It gave me confidence to know that the rolls I had did give me those skills and that I could put them out there in clear and simple summary. The drafting process was great and gave me the opportunity re think and remember things I had done in my various roles over my career. It also made me really think about what role I want to find. The consultant I worked with was very friendly and seemed genuine in helping bring out my best features. No reservations in recommending this company.

Very pleased with my resume
September 24, 2016

I bought the cover letter and resume package for a very reasonable price. It took about four days to get the resume completed. Two revisions came with the package at no extra cost, but I only took advantage of one revision. The resume was like night and day compared to my original one. I was very pleased with the format and word choices that were used. I would recommend their services to any of my friends. In conclusion, one day after I posted my resume on Indeed I received a request for an interview.

Top Resume is something i strongly suggest as it saved hours of my life, if not years because, simply. You cant make your resume as good and strong as they can.

These ppl are pro and will deliver the service in a heart beat, they are well organised and have QA for what any writer does.

Most importantly, these ppl can put ur semi organised words and thoughts into readable and clear sentences that will make recruiters read till the end:)

I had been in the same job for 18 years and needed to update my resume for a new job search. I purchased the resume package with the LinkedIn upgrade and could not be happier! I have scheduled several interviews thanks to the new look and have a lot of LinkedIn views as well. Well done Sandra Y.!

Pretty Pleased Overall
September 23, 2016

After signing up for a job search site, I received a free TopResume critique of my resume. I continued to receive emails promoting their services. After some debate, I decided to purchase the Career Evalution package, which included a new resume and cover letter. I completed the writer matching inquiry and was paired with Fred D. For the most part, I was pleased with my first draft and had a few suggestions and feedback. When my second draft was sent to me, it still contained an error in my email address. Other than that, it was corrected well. The entire process took about a week. My cover letter sounds a little generic, but I like that I have the ability to alter it for each job application. Overall, I was pretty pleased with this service and know it will pay off into the future. Thanks so much, TopResume!

Writer communicated as much as he was supposed to. He did a good job with the resume and cover letter. The only issue is that i"m not getting any hits with this new resume and cover letter. I still have to November so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Very Good Service Overall
September 23, 2016

Very nice service overall. Good initial analysis of my current resume. The resume writer was friendly, explained everything and why she was writing the way she was. Answered some questions on industry trends.

However, there is some space for improvement in asking clarifying questions early and speed of delivering the final product. The whole process was about 3 weeks (a little slow) and a couple of bullets on the first draft made me feel the writer struggled with understanding my experience, but did not reach out to ask. These are probably related issues and my advice is just to communicate more.

I am very pleased with the process and communication. Since I have never created a resume, I trust that TopResume's experience will greatly support the hiring process(es) and possibly a better job opportunity. The time and money could very well be worth it in the long run. Cheers!
