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
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.
I am very satisfied with my resume. My writer responded swiftly with an excellent job and was very professional. Thank you!
I am very satisfied with me resume! My writer did an excellent job, was very professional and really tried to create the perfect resume for me. Thank you!
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.
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.
TopResume is a great resume writing service. Their free resume review was very detailed and the feedback helpful. My resume writer was in contact contact with me during the entire process and quickly answered any questions I had. Would recommend TopResume.
Very pleased with the results of my resume, cover letter and Linked In update. Within hours of my updated resume hitting the job boards, I had instant feedback and requests for further discussions. So, overall- great job and great writers.
Pain and hassle free. The service was delivered just as advertised.
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.
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!
Edit
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.
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.!
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 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!
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!
