No Help at all
March 21, 2016

I had my resume reviewed by Katie Warren a few days ago. I appreciated her critique, and suggestions for improvement. I had a couple of questions about formatting, and wanted to know if I could edit the finished product, after TopResume completed a rewrite of my resume.

Three separate times I asked these questions! Never got an answer. The only replies I received were pushy sales tactics.
Mrs Warren made it quite clear that TopResume wasn't interested in working with me, or for me. They are only interested in working my wallet.

Whitney E. [TopResume Rep] Hi Michael, We are so sorry that that was your impression. You can absolutely edit the finished product after we complete a rewrite! It is delivered in a Word document to facilitate that and future edits. Please let us know if you have any additional questions and we'll get you taken care of.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The above is the reply I received from TopResume, after I posted a negative review on SiteJabber.
Here is the problem with TRs response. THEY are sorry that I have a negative impression. What they should have said, is; We apologize for GIVING you that impression. Them being sorry that I have a bad impression, insinuates that my skills at detecting less than reputable business practices, are lacking.
Lest anyone think Im play a game of semantics, remember; TopResume is in the business of using words to market an individual and his or her skills. Instead, they are trying to cover the mistakes of their overzealous resume writers.
If the product is a good as they say, then they wouldnt have send a barrage of email solicitations.

Great resume refresh
March 19, 2016

I was introduced to TopResume because my sister's husband works there! My resume was written extremely well and I couldn't be happier with the results. My resume writer really captured the tone I wanted to achieve and tried to convey in my questionnaire. In fact, I think it was the resume that helped me get a job so quickly recently.

My resume writer did an awesome job with my resume and cover letter. I answered a series of questions and uploaded my old and dated resume. Within two days, I received an updated and awesome resume. The way that my writer was able to define and present my past skills and experience was amazing. I highly recommend Top Resume!

TopResume is a total scam. I submitted my money an resume in good faith and received nothing in return. I have sent several email corespondent and I am still without my money or product. If you doubt me I will happily send you the email chain to provide proof.

The biggest part I enjoyed was the resume. I did the full package, was a little upset about the LinkedIn portion. There were little changes on that. The resume is an awesome part of the deal though. I'm excited to try it out first hand now.

Excellent Experience
March 16, 2016

I had not written a resume since 2006 and I was clueless where to start but at TopResume they took what I had pieced together from various other websites and buzz words and turned it into a polished finished product. I enjoyed working with Jennifer R. She asked all of the questions of my work experience I didn't even know should be asked. The process was far more in depth than I was expecting it to be and TopResume will be the only place I go to if I ever need another resume.

I utilized the package that included the LinkedIn service. I was very impressed and happy with my new Resume, Cover Letter, and LinkedIn documents. I had not updated my professional Resume in 8 years and I am seeking to re-enter the research job market after a 3-year absence. The overhaul of my current Resume was exactly what I needed and the results are amazing. Ive applied to more than 4 job positions with my new Resume and have gotten wonderful feedback from field peers (Director level) and potential hiring managers that my Resume is very professional. I also had just registered with LinkedIn and didn't know how to properly represent my current position, being that I provide home schooling and am a home manager. I was able to get the proper answers with TopResume. The turn-around time was under the promised time frame and my technical writer was very prompt, courteous, and attentive to my questions and provided clear answers and assistance. I highly recommend TopResume to anyone who wants to transform his or her current Resume into one that is truly polished, professional, and impressive to headhunters and recruiters!

I have used other resume writing services in the past and still had to edit the document even after all the requested revisions from the writer. TopResume provided me with a resume that does everything a resume should with NO revisions needed.
