The challenge was not just to decide which person or company could help me to polish my resume. It was also to restructure and reorganize what I already had. Then, I found TopResume via the internet... Good choice! The assigned writer was very professional and always communicative. I am completely satisfied with the final product. I would positively recommend TopResume if you need to improve your resume or CV.

I needed help with my resume and my assigned writer from TopResume was able to deliver a professional resume in a very timely manner to me. Not only did I get a great resume but my confidence was boosted. I have no doubts that my resume will stand out more to employers than it did before I got this service. I would highly recommend this service to anyone seeking help with their resume.

My experience with TopResume started out slow but ended with a great experience. The website says you should get your first draft within 5-7 business days but I did not receive my first draft until almost two weeks after I submitted all my materials. After I received my first draft, the process escalated quickly. My resume writer did an EXCELLENT job on my resume and cover letter. I was very pleased and finalized my resume and cover letter within a week after receiving the first draft. I was so impressed I bought the additional package to include my LinkedIn makeover. I was surprised the LinkedIn makeover was just a copy and paste of my resume but it was still better than what it was previously. Overall, I would definitely recommend TopResume - just give yourself plenty of time to go through the process.

I have been working on a career change and had an outdated resume with no idea how to communicate my skill set to make me look as experienced as someone already in the Environmental field. My re-done resume looks professional, sounds better, and has a format that I believe would be more appealing to any company looking at it. My cover letter was short in the beginning and didn't seem to explain much detail or give much information on my skill set but after working with my TopResume editor, she was able to provide a more detailed cover letter that highlighted my experience. I would highly recommend TopResume for anyone in need of a resume and/or cover letter review!

Having been with the same company for over 15 years I came into this job market with the idea that job seekers still compiled and wrote their own resume and cover letters. After not receiving much interest, I decided to participate in the free resume review from TopResume. The free evaluation opened my eyes on what could be truly achieved by hiring a professional writer. I opted for the full package that includes an overhaul of your LinkedIn page. Within one week my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile were completed. Within two weeks I was asked to complete a second round of interviews with a company I have been trying to get in. I cannot recommend this service highly enough.

Satisfied
September 13, 2016

TopResume's assistance made my resume more professional and visually attractive. Their service was not perfect though, as editors are not guaranteed to be familiar with the resume convention in each and every industry, it helped me secure offers to some extent. I am satisfied overall.

TopResume is an online scam
September 10, 2016

TopResume is a total scam. I resubmitted a resume through thier online submission critique. They rated the resume very low, my resume is more of a doer instead of an achiever. The same response you get if you submit a resume through TopResume, in order for you to consider TopResume to rewrite your bad resume. The funny thing is that the resume TopResume grated so low was the same resume they done for me a month ago. They rated their own resume as terrible. And my resume, according to TopResume, was written by their top 10 best writers. Total scam. If anyone has gone through TopResume, resubmit the exact resume that TopResume created for you through their critique site. They will say it needs to be redone. Even weeks later since I resubmitted the resume they are sending me offers to get the resume rewritten because it's not competitve and my resume needs to be written by professionals like people from TopResume.

Professional
September 12, 2016

The turn-a-round on my resume was fantastic, even without the upgraded package. I was struggling with getting the proper wording and not getting many hits. I broke down and spent the money to have a professional write my resume and I was not disappointed. Great Job!

My new CV is professional, straight to the point, focuses on my achievements. The writer who worked on it was ready to answer any of my CV-related questions and advise me.

Pretty good
September 11, 2016

They did a good job rewriting my resume; it saved me a significant amount of time and appears to read more professional. However, don't expect them to know about your specific industry. You'll have to go back and make edits that are specific to your field.

Also, don't bother to pay to be signed up for the multiple job sites. It's non-stop spam and the lack of relevant job searches is laughable (ex: 'Funeral Director'. Really?)

Great results!
September 10, 2016

My resume wasn't doing it for me. No matter how many times I tried to amend it, it never generated the results I wanted. I signed on with TopResume, and it was my best decision. The process was very simple and my writer, Nicole, provided an exceptional resume. It really captured me and my work ethic to a tee! I'm sure my new and improved resume will generate the results I'm looking for! I highly recommend TopResume!

An Excellent Value
September 10, 2016

TopResume delivers what it promises to the customer. My draft resume was a expertly crafted to provide a platform to which I could add my own edits. I expect to obtain positive results from my new resume.

Loved the experience. Was smooth and fast. I responded right away which allowed the writer ample time to put together the best resume possible. Only had to make trivial corrections but overall the resume was perfect! Definitely appreciate the help. Well worth the price!

TopResume is a scam
September 10, 2016

It's a scam. I made the purchase and did not receive anything for 10 days. One lousy email from a Shanna Galbreath that says she will send my first draft "tomorrow". And we all know that tomorrow never comes.

Excellent Quality Resume
September 11, 2016

I had a multi-page draft with quite a bit of redundant information. The resume writer consolidated like topics and shrunk my resume to a more acceptable 2 page document. I was amazed.

Excellent Service!
September 10, 2016

Top resume did a wonderful job with my resume. It is 100% professional looking and far better than I could have done on my own! They not only took the care to do a wonderful job, but my resume writer also reminded me that if I wanted any changes done I needed to do so by August 31st. She kept me on task and sent more than one reminder. Even though I waited till the last moment she still was able to adjust my resume and only needed one adjustment. I would recommend them to anyone!
