I am a believer. My professionally crafted resume landed me not one job, not two jobs, but three jobs. They are all part-time, which I wanted so I now have the flexibility and the security of diversity. I am even receiving invitations to apply for jobs at additional companies.
I am very pleased with the skill and patience of my resume artist. He provided me with tool that Top Resume promised. Thank you.
Wow! Amazed how they took all the twists and turns in my career and brought in together revealing my skills and expertise.
My consultant Leon made the process seamless and easy. He was very accessible and easy to communicate with. He was responsive and was on hand to answer any questions quickly. I will recommend TopResume over and over again!
I had a resume from another country, where we use different canons to stand out in front of the recruiters. My resume wasn't working at all here in the USA. TopResume rebuilt it from scratch, and now from 0 interviews, I am having 5 interviews a month. It's incredible
When I first submitted my resume, I knew it was as antiquated as I was. Jamie took my resume and my responses and turned it into something that brought me to tears. The transformation and understanding of my accomplishments was beyond my expectations. When we met on the phone, she was personable, professional and listened to my feedback. The end result is truly a work of art and I can't wait to put it to the test! Thanks Jamie!
It was pleasant. Fast response and the resume looks better than previously.
I had a very positive experience working with TopResume. Allison and I went through several rounds of feedback on my resume and the end product was exactly what I needed. Money well spent!
I was having trouble getting my message through. Ask TR for a free review. Results were clear that my resume needed more work. Allison did an excellent re-crafting my document. It looks and reads very tell. Tells my story fine. Would recommend TP to friends.
My writer Madison was very thorough and did a great job creating my resume. The wording is much better than I had done previously. I have already started getting more inquiries with my new resume.
They were very helpful and courteous. Very knowledgeable and professional.

Beth has worked on my resume, cover letter and linkedin profile and she has been great!
It was a quick and pleasant experience working with Chileshe. Very pleased with the update she made to my resume. I have not had a cover letter for a long time; really haven't needed one. Love the one she created!
Received an excellent service. Jay was very professional and helpful. Thank you
I worked with Bennett A and is was a great experience. I've never been good at constructing resumes and he took the information I provided and crafted an amazing resume for me.
Joseph did an awesome job. The response time is timely.
Prompt, precise, and delivered on time. Thanks! I also already wrote like 2 reviews for this site, so I'm keeping this one short...
I don't want to write a review, thank you have a nice day.
I was excited to use Top Resume, with their guarantee and promise of personal interaction with a resume writer. After paying (including a cover letter and LinkedIn profile upgrade, I found out that only 1 week is given to interact with my writer. In that time I had to send my resume and examples of 3 jobs I wanted to get. Responses took about a day, so there was really only 3 back and forths before my final resume was sent to me. I send out my new resume & cover letter, customized for each job, multiple times a week, with no responses- not even for the exact jobs of which I sent them job postings. The "guarantee of an interview within 60 days" isn't really that. It's an offer to redo the resume. So I took them up on this.
The 2nd round writer was disinterested at best. The resume that was sent to me looked like something I created early in my career. It wasn't compelling and didn't convey my experience or qualifications well. When I mentioned I didn't like the format, they suggested I tell them what I wanted. Having no idea what templates they have, I asked for suggestions. They came back with a revised resume, that was identical to the first version, but with a paragraph removed. After I made more suggestions, they finally came back with a version that used a new template, but the information was still lacking. This came on the eve of my last day to make changes. The responses through from this writer were glib and kept offering me services I could pay for to possible get what I wanted- $ to talk on the phone with them or $ to extend the review time.
Also, when I got the first resume from this writer, I reached out to TopResume asking for a new person. They wouldn't help me, wanted me to give them a chance- which would run my time down. I reached out to the 3 more time and got no help from anyone about my unhappiness with the results I was getting.
At the end of the day, I would not recommend. The resumes don't get interviews- even when you give them the exact wording from the job posting. And if you are unhappy or need help, they don't step in to make it right.
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!
