DO NOT USE TopResume!
It is copy and paste service that does not actually do anything for you.
Submit your current resume, answer all the questions and it compiles it all into a new resume with everything you type. Then adds key words for a position you want even if it is not in your resume. Basically they lie for you to get what you want but then you also do not know what your own resume says.
I even paid extra to speak to someone and after a half hour conversation, was asked to type all the changes I wanted them to make. So basically you pay for your own work. They didnt even send me a first edition for 9 days and then the second version that had many errors was not sent until the last day to make changes.
When I responded 3 times with changes, I never heard back.
Customer service responded once to my concerns but after responding to them 3-4 times, I again, never heard back.
After downloading my resume so I could make the changes that were obviously wrong, Microsoft Word also alerted me of numerous spelling and grammar errors that the "professional writer" produced.
I thought using this service would save me time and frustration while giving my resume the best possible look that employers are currently looking for, but after two weeks and having to correct all of the work they did, as well as paying hundreds of dollars, I am doing it myself.
Worst service ever.
Just use ChatGPT or write it yourself.
I am moving from one field of work to another after many years as a teacher. I realized I was not even getting looked at due to the way my old teaching resume was written. I had a few jobs I wanted to apply for and needed help quickly. I clicked on the free critique and what I was afraid of was confirmed. I quickly jumped in with both feet and asked for help in rewriting my resume and cover letter.
Prior to using TopResume, I was getting no interviews or any communication. I have applied to 3 places since and had 1 interview so far. Patrick was my assigned writer and did a great job of conveying the best parts of me. The only down fall is not being able to talk with them on the phone. It was hard to communicate my concerns and have them understood at times. But we got there after several revisions.
Was paired with Evan A and I'm very lucky that I was! He was phenomenal with his work. He transformed my resume in way that really makes it pop!
Dawn was amazing. She did a super job of rearranging my resume to really capture the highlights. The new format is super easy to read and brings out the important aspects of my experience in previous and my current role.
From the initial review through the makeover process, the assigned writer was thorough and timely with responses. The editing process was simple and all changes were made quickly and to my liking. I highly recommend this investment into your career!
Your writer was fantastic to work alongside polishing my resume. I will highly recommend TopResume to my peers moving forward.
Overall it was great, I just wish that the resume writing part there was more investigating. I was hoping that I would get more questions that fit the field of work to help polish up the resume. I didn't know it was just going to be tell me some measurable things and that's it.
The resume returned to me was a jumbled mess of unfinished sentences, sentences that didn't make sense and unclear formatting. Some of my work history was completely deleted and dates were changed on others. When I submitted my feedback pointing out the errors and asking why these changes were made, the revised resume added back the work history but then deleted other work history instead. It is clear they do not have any concept of tech and I feel the writer was not human or at least not anyone with an expert in resume writing. You're better off just using ChatGPT to rewrite your resume.
I needed some help updating a resume & cover letter but didn't have the time to do it myself. Rachel was great! Quick response time and open to feedback. She explained the reasoning behind a few changes in formatting and really highlighted my strengths and accomplishments. The whole process was completed in less than 72 hours. I will definitely refer colleagues that are looking for the same type of assistance.
I was rather sceptical at first whether doing this was worth the investment however i decided to take the plunge as my current state with my current resume was not getting me anywhere. After receiving the first draft i realised how much i needed this review of my resume.
I was assigned with an amazing resume writer, Ms Grace. She was patient and importantly gave me clear answers to my queries. I am very pleased with the service she and TopResume have rendered. I am feeling confident i will be in a better position to submit my revised resume.
I am already getting an immediate response, and i hope i will be given the first step to find my new job and career which is an interview.
Thank you once agian TopResume and Grace
I send my resume to TopResume and the turnaround time was fast. The analysis was detailed and showed the overall impression. They also provided suggestions on how to improve my resume including but not limited to cleaning up to make it more concise, using stronger verbs to create an impact, and lastly, showcasing outcomes not what I have achieved. I highly recommend TopResume to anyone who wants to improve their resume. Thank you.
Was able to get a quick resume reviewed and redone to look more professional. Editor was fast and communicative.
If you want someone with limited command of the English language, this is the service for you! Was hoping for professional resume writing help. Instead received a poorly written, grammatically incorrect mess. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!
Thanks for your review and great suggestions. You gave a different look on my CV and show me how can I do to improve it.
I have used this company on numerous occasions. I finally noticed they have three levels for those who are looking for help with resumes. I asked a question of customer service regarding the different levels that were available. I have to say that I have not received an acceptable explanation as to what I bought versus what I wanted to upgrade. Nevertheless, I proceeded on with their writer it took a few days for the writer to be assigned. Once the writer was assigned it was terrible the writer lacks energy didn't have any imagination as it pertains to creative flow. Did not follow the pattern of the past writer. When I asked for a refund they only offered 30%. Totally unacceptable, especially after being a long time customer. I should have received a total refund after the terrible writing and service that was received.
Very responsive and Wellington to make suggested changes as needed.
My resume definitely needed an update. I worked with Aidan and he had my first draft back to me same day. It looked awesome. I can't thank him enough.
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.

Answer: Don't waste your money. All of these "reviews" are probably fake. I actually paid them $189 and never even got a usable resume. Find a better company. These guys are crooks!
