Wonderful experience with a great writer that helped with a solid resume, cover letter, thank you letter, and also updated LinkedIn page. Wow... I had a boring resume and cover letter that just was not getting attention by hiring managers, but now my resume shines and not only looks great the wording paints the right picture of me and my professional experience. It's worth it to have a professional writer bring out that glow and dazzle. Thanks TopResume.

I am very happy with my new and updated resume. It's professional, clear and exactly what i was looking for. The first day i posted my new resume, i received an invitation for an interview. I'm confident with my new resume that i will find the best job for me sooner than later.
Thank you!

I hired myself!
March 29, 2016

When putting my resume on job search sites, I opted in for my free resume review. After getting feedback, my resume was not scoring high in the software searches being done by companies looking for employees. I did not even know software was being used to search for resumes. After some thought, I submitted my resume to TopResume and also purchased the LinkedIn option. It didn't take long, and the resume I got back was unbelievable. After writing my own resume for years, I'm not sure how I ever got a job. All of my skills and work history were put on paper and summarized perfectly. For once, I sound like the professional that I am. I can't wait to see the results that this resume brings me.

I was told it would take 7-10 days for a re-write of my resume and cover letter, it did take a bit longer than that and I did have to nudge a bit asking for it. I was responded to fairly promptly and they did apologize for the amount of time it took. I was happy with the service though, I found the cover letter far superior to what I had been using. I already have an interview lined up using this resume where I had been sending out over 100 with zero response. I'm pushing my husband to have his resume looked at as well based on the re-write. I appreciated the follow up emails as well as I had the opportunity to ask for revisions; was asked again if I had any more concerns and then a final follow-up about my reaction to the re-write. I think the follow-up alone is exceptional!

I paid for the "expedited" service and was shocked that it took three writers and over 4 weeks for TopResume to "re-write" my resume. Their writers were clueless and could not even properly put together a summary of what I did that looked good. They basically re-formatted my resume and used the verbiage that I had previously give or take a few words. This is the 3rd resume service I've used over the past 15 years and the only one I've been displeased with. I recommend using anyone else. Don't go for their sale!

I am humbly grateful to have found your company. I saw the sign to click TopResume and Thank You God I did. Next was a reply from Katie W from the resume and a cover letter I prepared for her review. After my reading of Katie's thoughts and critique, there was no turning back except to move forward. I am well diverse with banking, real estate, travel and handling high profile clientele profession that I knew it is wise to be in the hands of experts who can summarize your life career in a professional manner. This is where my journey began with Katie and Victoria W. I have been blessed to be in their hands and I would highly recommend to trust in them and let them do what they do. Most of all, it is not about the cost when you have good people who are genuine and honest to help you succeed. That is what I have received and with faith your journey and the path chosen for you becomes a success. I wish everyone here the best in theirs and my special thanks to Katie and Victoria W. For their intelligence and efforts with an outstanding end results! You are truly passionate about what you do and it showed.

Respectfully,

Sharon Smith

Best investment I have ever made at a perfect time.

The assigned consultant from Top Resume is tactful and professional in dealing with my case.

Most impressively, my 18 pages resume was punchy packed in 4 pages resume! This was finalized within 7 working days! I could have never achieved that and will procrastinate over it to get it complete by myself, you still need a 3rd party review.

Immediately submitted 7 jobs application, 5 came back with leads, 3 confirmed interviews and 1 job offer.

Good Job Top Resume. Keep up the good work!

I was looking to see what I might be missing in my resume when I worked with them. The first draft was off the old resume attachment that was several years old not the current resume. It was missing alot of information and the formatting was way less professional than I would expect of a paid service and way less than I demand from marketing professionals.

The second revision -- format still poor at best. Grammer issues, took all the detail out of my resume and were missing locations of employment

The third revision -- still terrible. I paid for a resume rewrite that I have to rework to use. I am way better off with my old resume.

They might be okay for your first resume out of school. But it was a complete waste of money from my point of view.

More and more automation filters out candidates, and getting help and ensuring your resume fits the search filters is getting as important as your acomplishments and competences, since if you don't make the cut you don't even get the chance of presenting it. Nicole B. Made great work, quick, intelligent and open to questions and suggestions

My experience with Top Resume was top notch, no pun intended. They really adhere to deadlines like they promised, which I respect, and if they didn't comply they are completely understanding and will find any way to compensate you for their delay and will leave you happy.
Now when it comes to quality and professionalism, I couldn't have ordered from a better place. They offer 2 revisions which really gives you enough wiggle room to add/remove anything you want. The resume came out clean and concise and would recommend anyone to try it with them. I think they truly do match you with a suitable write, who have qualifications and experience with writing resumes that match your experience/degrees.

Worth EVERY Penny
March 23, 2016

WOW! Sara at TopResume truly transformed my former resume into a masterpiece! She took all of my skills and qualifications and turned a very over-crowded resume into a simple but detailed work of art. I had reservations of paying a company to re-write my resume but it was truly worth every penny!.

My goal was to make a move from event sales to SAAS sales, but I had no idea how to effectively highlight my transferable skill set to potential employers. Laura understood my goal and crafted a really fantastic resume that downplayed the field in which I was working, and accentuated my title and relevant experience. I was very pleased. Then, no joke, I submitted my application to the first company on my list, got a call back that day (the VP complemented my resume in the initial call), and after a week of interviews I accepted my first choice role.
