When I first started looking for new job opportunities, I used an old resume that a different free resume service had rated 91%. But after a couple of weeks of not getting the attention of prospective employers, I tried TopResume. They gave my resume a rating of 71% so I asked them to improve it. Julia M. Took on the project and did a great job. She was fast and clearly knew what she was doing. She took my comments and incorporated them into the resume, and made small improvements through a second round of review. The resume looks updated, fresh, and eye-catching. I would recommend the service to anyone.

Excellent Resume Help
April 20, 2016

I had the pleasure of working with Kathy to help polish up my resume. She took all my considerations and turned them into a great final product. I would recommend TopResume to anyone that isn't fully confident in what they already have on their resume.

I love my new resume. Thanks TopResume!

It gets the job done!
April 16, 2016

Good resume is to get you interview opportunites and then it's up to you to sell yourself to potential employers. I had 6 pages resume, a laundry list of what I had done in the past and Cindy R transformed it to 2 pages with the right format, style and most importantly the right keywords for the job I want to apply. Less than a week after I posted the new resume and I have two phone interviews and one of them leads to a F2F and potential job offer!

Quick Turn Over
April 16, 2016

I'm glad I finally broke and decided to spend the money for this service. I've been trying to get an internship with a resume I created with my college career center for over a year and was getting nowhere as soon as I posted the new resume written by TopResume I was getting contacted by random companies on Monster. The turn around for the whole process was probably two weeks at most, and I only had to make some minor changes during the revision. I would recommend this service to someone who isn't having any luck.

Excellent experience
April 16, 2016

I was matched with a talented writer who transformed my resume. The finished product highlighted my key accomplishments versus listing tasks associated with my previous roles in healthcare. His customer service was excellent and he valued my input on each draft. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

If you are having doubts, kick them out right now. Within a day or so after posting my polished resume, done by a great rep, Jen, I had 3 calls in one day from looking over my resume. Go for it!

This year, the juggling act was getting old, i am in middle of a residency ( nurse practitioner) and army reservist and trying to find time to work on resume just was getting further and further down my to do list. I am so thankful for TopREsume for getting started... thanks again. I will let you know how the job search goes.

Outstanding Work!
April 13, 2016

Their work was spectacular. Far better than I could do, especially with all the new resume screening software employers use. The turn-around-time was great. I am looking forward to positive results from their great work!

I am regretting I didn't read these reviews before... It happened to me as well... Such a joke they are! I sent my resume and after nearly one week I didn't hear from them. So I wrote again to complain. I get an answer from someone replying me that my resume was waiting to be approved... The day after I had an email from Joe, another "writer", telling me my previous writer was not available anymore and that he was taking care of me. After a few days I had, a resume which is roughly the same as mine... They just played with a few words and sentences, cut the most important tasks for my job. In other words, a lower professional profile... And they have replied below in the same way they do for resumes, past and copy! Why should I use Facebook? So UNPROFESSIONAL! Please, don't use their services and check all the complains below! Don't trust the good ones!

Don't Wait
April 13, 2016

TopResume was able to highlight important aspects of my career that needed to be showcased and eliminate insignificant items.
Only issue that I had was that I had contacted TopResume same week that I was laid off. Knowing that there would be a great more candidates looking for work. There was a sense of urgency that needed to be addressed. In the long run great product. I would only advise anybody that is currently working have their resumes updated NOW and don't wait until you get laid of.

If you are serious...
April 13, 2016

If you are serious about your personal brand and unsure if your resume needs to be a bit moe impactful, TopResume can help. I wanted to transition into a new role with little hands-on expericence and a Masters degree in a related field. My TopResume professional writer Nick was able to help me mine my experiences and dig up some really good points to aid in the career change. My resume speaks to my abilities to handle the new role at entry level position. It turns out that I had more experience than I realized. Since I completed this service I received compliments and more attention to my LinkedIn profile. Now it's up to me to nail the interviews and get the job I want.

I gave a word document plus some charts and write up the outcome was a great piece of information about myself which is really stunning and outstanding.
The skill level with which the writer Pam has done my resume needs a pat on her shoulder.
Great job and keep it up... hope to crack some great interviews soon

True Professionals
April 10, 2016

Before I had the feeling that Top Resume would not produce a good resume due to the reviews I read from other forums. However, I have come to realise that all those reviews are a fake. My resume which was distorted now has a new look with a professional touch. Companies are beginning to reach me for interviews which is unbelievable.

I had always thought I had a pretty decent resume, that I had written myself. I submitted my resume, and it was broken down and analyzed. After seeing the analysis, I knew this was something I had to do to further my career. I appreciate all the hard work from Nicole B., and I would recommend this to anyone seeking to advance their career.

Worth the money
April 9, 2016

I wish I had done this years ago. My resume re-writer (Sharon S) was able to take my 20 years of experience and put it into what I want others to read about me. I would recommend this service to others. It save me a lot of time.
