I have made modifications to my resume many times but it never gave me satisfaction and I was very much disappointed, I started searching for good resume writers where I found the Top Resume the best among all and I have submitted my old resume and in a week I received my first draft, I found astonishing. But still there are some grammatical errors which I told my writer to take care of and for the second draft all cleared and made me satisfy a lot.
Resume came out great! We've had some email issues in the beginning but once it was resolved it was smoothe sailing.
I had Allison as my writer and she was friendly and an excellent writer.
I worked with a Heather B., a writer with TopResume. I filled out the questionnaire and uploaded an older resume. What I have today is leaps and bounds ahead of where I was with my old resume. This service is a must have if you want to get ahead of the people looking for the same jobs. Do this now. Don't wait.
This was a great investment for me! I especially appreciated Top Resume reaching out to me with suggestions regarding my previous Resume. They delivered everything they said they were going to do. I have already Recommended Top Resume to my Family & Friends. Thank you Top Resume.
I am so pleased with the service and quality of resume I received from TopResume. My writer was knowledgeable and efficient and everything was done in a timely manner. Fabulous service, product, quality, and attention to detail. Definitely use this company if you are need help with a resume.
I had an excellent experience with TopResume. They helped guide me through the process of taking my resume to the next level and pushing me into the next phase of my career. The process was simple and easy and only took around a week of total time with revisions and all.
All drafts were provided in a timely manner. Still waiting to see effect on employer response, I remain hopeful.
I love the resume that was created, I have an interview already!
I was hesitant to pay for a service that I could theoretically do for free myself. My only regret was that I didn't do it sooner. Resume was personalized and professional. The cover letter was a great bonus.
Very pleased with my resume writer Samie, quick to get my first draft to me and even quicker to respond to any requests. The end product is very professional something I can be proud to send to prospective employers.
Awsome job Top resume! In just one day after posting my new resume online I had several employer inquiries and I am now in the process of accepting a new position in the career I had targeted.
I had Ruth S. Assist me in writing my resume and she was wonderful! Very inquisitive, and asked detailed questions before writing my first draft which I believe was very helpful in having her write both a cover letter and resume that required minimal revisions following the first draft. They had my resume ready mprepared just as quickly as they said they would. I would 100% recommend their service and Ruth S. To others.
Fast turnaround even without the priority purchase. Rewording and reformatting provided. I cannot say yet if it will get me a new career, but I feel more confident in my Resume and Cover Letter now!
I'm happy with my decision. The turnaround was very quick and I was impressed with the results. I purchased the "Executive Priority" package which included a resume rewrite, cover letter, and LinkedIn template. A writer was assigned within a few hours of my purchase, and once it was assigned to a writer, Elizabeth, she turned the first draft of the resume around within a few hours which I wasn't expecting. I was primarily concerned about the summary I'd written at the beginning of the resume, and making the bullets/achievements for each of my past jobs more succinct. She was able to rewrite the summary and sections in such a way that my experience and achievements are highlighted and will stand out better. It really makes me look good and represents my experience and what I'm going for much better! I had some feedback and questions which I placed in the document with comments, and she sent a second draft with edits and answers to my questions quickly. You can work with/go back and forth with your writer to come up with a draft you're satisfied with for a week.
I initially discovered TopResume through Glassdoor.com; I uploaded my resume to Glassdoor, and was offered a free resume evaluation from TopResume. I scoped it out and it looked legit, so I gave it a whirl. The free eval turnaround was quick and the results were thorough. I especially liked that they ran my resume through an applicant tracking system resume scanning software like most of the big companies use. They show you what the scan shows potential employers about you, so you can get an idea of how to adjust keywords in your resume for different results. As part of the resume rewrite, my writer adjusted keywords to make sure that the auto scanning software would paint the right picture of my experience and what I'm striving for in the future.
Overall, a great experience. I was surprised by the quality of the results and the turnaround time.
Great customer service and all feedback was well received. The entire process took less than a week, I am very satisfied with the new resume and the cover letter provided. Fantastic customer service, I would recommend TopResume to anyone.
Working with TopResume was a painless and enjoyable experience, and I now have much more confidence when I apply for jobs. I highly recommend their service. Especially Betsy, she is amazing.
If you're car breaks, you take it to a mechanic because they know how to fix it... if you have a tooth ache you consult a dentist, again because that's who knows how to truly help you... so, if your resume isn't getting you the interviews you hope to land, well why not invest in a professional service with the experience and know how to fix it?
In my experience with a Top Resume writer, I can say that it's well worth it. They will fix your resume for now, as well as in the future, because you'll gain insights into how it should be done... if you want more responsiveness from prospective employers, get your resume professionally done by top resume.
I ordered the resume service on August 12.10 days later, I received a draft, filled with errors, that completely ignored the comments I entered in the questionnaire. After submitting comments asking them to correct errors - they actually made stuff up and added it to my resume - I was told that after 3 days had passed I could expect a response in another 1-3 days. Their sales material said I would have 2 opportunities for edits in a weeks time.
The company is terrible.
I found the process very straight forward and my writer to be very responsive. She accepted and responded quickly to feedback which allowed us to have a finished product in less than a week. I have recommended this service to friends and as of this post, at least one has already signed up!
The only downside is that I am still receiving marketing emails for the service that I already purchased. An email I received today had a better offer in it than the one I received but oh well.
Thanks! TopResume did very well!
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.
