From the start I was impressed with the creativity and versatility my resume writer used in taking my experience and education and making me look like a star. My resume now represents who I am and what I can achieve for an employer. Definitely worth the investment!

I contacted TopResume to re-write my resume and help me with a cover letter I could modify for the various positions for which I was applying. TopResume assigned me a writer who helped me draw on the many skills I had, which my previous resume failed to show. Once Mrs Pam was assigned to me, she was attentive and gently guided me through constructing a professional resume that covered in a very concise and professional way all my positions. My friends who saw my resume afterwards, wondered if i wrote it on my own and asked info about TopResume. I am now proud to utilize my re-vamped resume and can quickly modify the cover letter TopResume did for me. I am glad I came across this company and spent the money for this well-needed service. Mrs Pam, thank you!

I'm a mid/senior professional with >15 work experience, and I bought the mid-level service from this company. The writer reformatted my CV (1star) which makes me wonder how may other people will have the exact same format. And she rewrote bids and pieces by using thesaurus extensively (2nd star). I seriously question the writer's use of common sense as the documents didn't make sense afterwards. And she didn't ask questions but rather wrote up things which was useless. I seriously doubt this company's "interview guarantee". I'm relieved I didn't buy the LinkedIn service.

My resume writer was very good at writing my new resume with brevity and succinctness without losing the value of my original resume I had written. It was reduced from 4 pages to 2 pages with more active words to market myself with. The turnaround time to address my feedback was remarklebly quick! I am happy with the final product and would highly recommend this service to others! :)

I had a decent resume but it was 10 or 15 years old. A collections of bit and bites over many years. TopResume took that framework and my own description of my past career highlights and spun it all in a nicely written, tightly summarized description of my experience. They used just the right words to make the story make sense and stand out among other candidates. I found a good job thanks to TopResume.

TopResume did an excellent job describing my skills in a way that shows confidence and detail. My resume was organized, condensed and now, worth the read. I was very pleased with my results and interaction with my resume writer. The process was quick and painless!

Not convinced
July 24, 2016

I received the resume critique and had a few questions. All the emails they send let you know they are here to answer any question you have. When I actually replied with a few questions I received a bot response that did not answer any questions. They might do good work, but I am not going to spend $350 if they can't even have a real person answer my inquiries. To me this is an indication the work will not be as personalized as they claim.

New in Australia
July 25, 2016

Topresume helped me to organise my skills and present my resume to Australian jobs. It is not easy when you come from other country and different background, therefore, I couldn't obtain any success when I applied for, but it changed when TopResume helped me. Now, I am happy because companies started to call me since I applied with my new resume. A step done, a new challenge is on place, overcome my interview.

I contacted TopResume to re-write my resume and help me with a cover letter I could modify for the various positions for which I was applying. I have been a professional in a highly regarded industry for almost 20 years and have recently shifted to another industry. It is difficult to convey to employers that you still have highly transferable skills and I was not getting interviews. TopResume assigned me a writer who helped me draw on the many skills I had, including a necessary skill that my old resume failed to even show. Once Greg was assigned to me, he was attentive and gently told me that many of my old positions weren't relevant. I am now proud to utilize my re-vamped resume and can quickly modify the cover letter TopResume did for me. I am glad I came across this company and spent the money for this well-needed service.

Worth Every Penny!
July 23, 2016

After posting my own resume on dozens of sites with little response, I decided to give TopResume a shot. I was paired with a writer within a few days, received consistent communication about the process, and I approved the draft of both resume and cover letter after only one revision.

I immediately received an influx of job notifications, interest and interviews -- it felt like magic. The missing pieces from my resume (keywords, SEO, etc.) were filled in, and my existing experience suddenly became accessible to the right people.

If you're even slightly considering this service, take the plunge -- it's absolutely, 100% worth it!

I can't express enough how important it is to let someone who knows what hiring managers do or are looking for in a resume these days. Working with Top Resume was easy to work with and the timeline was flexible. I questioned some things about my self created resume I thought should be included in the new and was quickly educated as to why I should not and also as to what I should do. It makes sense to go to a professional and I would also recommend using their Linked-In service as well, it gives you a well rounded professional presents which gives you an edge over another's to land the job you're looking for.

I decided to give TopResume a chance at improving my resume. I wasn't disappointed. A writer was assigned after a few days. That individual deconstructed my resume and carefully put it back together in such as way as to highlight my skills and experience. It is well worth the investment. They also prepared professional cover letter that I can use for every application I submit

Amazing
July 23, 2016

I've had multiple resumes for multiple different uses, and couldn't figure out which one do I need to go with as a college graduate looking for a job. I've submitted a sample resume to topresume and within a couple of days I got back a piece of art. The resume was professionally reorganized and they took out what I didn't need to be there and reworded some of my statements to better fit the profession I'm looking for. They've also done a great job at quickly fixing whatever issues I had and we super helpful and responsive even after I got my final product from them.

Great Service
July 23, 2016

As a former college professor transitioning to a new career I found that some of things I was taught and was teaching was misinformed and dated. Times have changed and so has social thinking about what it means to apply for a job. The ladies at TopResume not only taught me some new things, they showed me that realigning the way I thought about my resume needed to change and I appreciate that. I recommend them highly, especially if you are unsure where to start. Thanks Kathy from TopResume

I'm a marketing communications professional by trade. I've had a resume for years that expresssed my experience. However, I didn't feel like to conveyed the message of me being a "rockstar!" Michael, from Top Resume, recreated my resume and did a fabulous job of selling my skill-set and experience. I've learned even English majors need a second set of eyes when selling themselves. I highly recommend that you reach out to Top Resume today. By doing so, you're rockstar will shine, too!

Quality Service

I was very satisfied with my finished result that TopResume provided. They revamped the style and wording and I was very impressed by the outlook. I also had a cover letter done and loved the wording they used to highlight my experience. Would recommend using this if you are unsure of your resume!
