My writer re-wrote my resume as if he knew and worked with me everything was well summarized neat and professional. I upgraded to the expedited service to include cover letter and Thank you letter. I would definitely utilize this service again and I recommend anyone to use this service.
I worked with Adam to create a résumé and cover letter would effectuate a career change. Although I have all of the transferable skills, I couldn't figure out how to reflect them on paper in a clear, dynamic, and persuasive way. Adam did, though, and three days earlier than expected! Adam took my skills and my original formatting, and adjusted them to industry standard to make me sound like a strong candidate for the roles I've hoping to land. Adam was also very responsive. He answered all of my questions; made some of my requested revisions; and gently explained why some of my other requested changes wouldn't meet the industry standard, thereby putting me at a disadvantage. In other words, he handled the creation of my résumé and cover letter expertly and thoughtfully. I haven't sent my brand new documents out yet, but I feel incredibly confident about doing so. Thank you, Adam!
Victor did a great job. I upgraded to get my resume posted but have yet to get instructions or information
This is a terrible product and experience. The first draft of the resume I got back was so far off that giving feedback to the writer on each item I needed changing would have been way more time and effort than just writing it myself in the first place.
The overall quality of language was awkward, grammatically incorrect, and sounded like it was written by someone not fluent in English. Word choices were like someone did a mad-libs exercise with every buzzy cliche business term possible. The proposed format was even more copy than I had started with, with long paragraphs of text.
I ran my original resume and the new Top Resume version through a couple of resume scoring platforms and the Top Resume version scored lower than mine.
I pinged Customer Service twice through the chat and once via email and got no human response.
This was a waste of time.
It was definitely worth it. The service was great. The communication was extremely prompt and responsive. The quality of the work was awesome. It is not something I could come up with. Appreciate very much
My consultant, Heath, was very accommodating and insightful. He was very professional to work with.
They assigned your resume to random people who are not professional writers. The english was pathetic on my resume, they never took the substance from my questionnaires. And they waste your time on customer care calls. Good bye to the hefty fees they charge for doing NOTHING.
They are a scam. If they were genuine they would have refunded my money back or had the courtesy to pickup my call.
This is my second time utilizing the services at Top Resume. Both times I experienced exceptional customer service. Turn around time was faster than initially quoted and both writers were great to work with.
I purchased a $272 resume & cover letter package with extra for expedited 2 day service. While the company was quick and responsive, what was delivered to me was full of misspellings, grammatical errors, and incomprehensible bullet points. It was clear the author disregarded all of my notes and requests. They increased my resume from my 1 page to 3 FULL pages, when I have less than five years of professional experience. My cover letter looked like it was copied and pasted from a google image, it was so poorly written and it included ALL FIVE of my most recent job titles. I had to spend an hour sending my writer my notes, grammar edits, and complaints was the one PAYING to have someone to do that work for me. The work was so unprofessional and even when I requested a refund, TR rejected that and instead offered me a new writer and complimentary thank you email template. After spending hours on the phone trying to reach an agent, I was finally granted a full refund. While I was grateful for the exceptional service I received at the end, it took weeks of my time and money. I WOULD NOT recommend TopResume, unless you are completely new to the workforce and have time to spend in your job search. Hope this helps.
I have received several compliments on my resume an cover letter. I think that my LinkedIn account looks so much better as well. I have had a few really good interviews since the update, and I feel like I am getting more and more people reaching out to me for jobs, to which I would credit the very professional looking resume and cover letter that I now have.
Paul was amazing at writing my resume, linkedin profile and cover letter. He matched my qualifications perfectly. He was very timely in providing the documents. Thank you so much paul!
Terrific service very responsive and the turnaround time was only one day. My resume went from looking very ordinary to a very polished very professional highly detailed CV. I would highly recommend TopResume! They did a wonderful job!
The services provided were very timely and extremely professional. The product delivered was well worth the cost.
Totally different from my ask
I hade 2 version the second one is worse than the first one¡¡
Also the 2 nd cv targeted position is different than my request!
The reading is not perfect as expected
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!
