I thought Nathaniel did an excellent job on my resume and the LinkedIn Profile. I have had three interview requests so far
Samson U is awesome! He was very patient, and his edits of my resume were super helpful. I certainly got more interviews and also learned to present myself better from how I describe myself on Resume!
Paid for my resume over 2 weeks ago, and still havent gotten a draft email or anything. Emailed customer service and no response. Save your money and look somewhere else.
I paid for the "Executive Priority Resume Writing Package" and "Phone Consultation." Nearly $400 down the drain.
The resume and cover letter are entirely generic. Honestly, I bet they use the same template for everyone. They say that the process is "fully collaborative and interactive," but from my experience, it's anything but collaborative and interactive. I had the writer tell me that cover letters are pointless, and that's why she made it so generic. Customer service continually gave me the run around why I wasn't getting revisions after submitting my feedback.
In the end, it was a huge disappointment, a waste of money, and now I'm back where I started. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!
Terrible Service. Resume is worse than original. Covers letter is even worse. Looks like they copy and paste form templates. Messages are delivered 3- 4 am. most likely service is India. Cancelling and getting a refund is even more difficult have to go to credit card company to dispute
Been going back and forth with Alex A who has completely butchered my resume. Not only do they not have a grasp on my industry, they do not have a grasp on grammar, or spell check or use of commas, periods.
I feel so totally ripped off by this site. I implore anyone out there that is about to be catfished by this site to RUN AWAY and warn all their friends. Complete garbage. Read the fine print... you're stuck with a hot steaming mess of crap once they are done their "rewrites"
I paid extra for an "executive level writer" and the documents I received are cluttered, extremally difficult to read and sound as if a someone who does not speak English wrote it or as if my resume was just put into a program and they just provided me whatever the program spit out.
I purchased the resume, CL and Linked-in profile package. Every response to any emails that you send to TopResume are proforma automated responses; in other words, they don't read your emails. The documents were never provided by the deadline that TopResume set. The Linked-In profile copied and pasted the resume document. TopResume is rabidly against refunding money, no matter how disappointed you are. Go with another service if you are seeking satisfaction.
I was skeptical to employ a writer since I've always been confident in doing my own resume. However, this latest job hunting episode, I was not getting the hits I anticipated. I sent my resume to TopResume for a free analysis and was shocked to find out how far off base I was. Namely? It didn't meet the new ATS criteria which explained why no one was calling. They couldn't READ IT. I took a chance and the process was simple, quick but very thorough. By the time I posted it to my job boards? And also with direct companies, I IMMEDIATELY started get interview requests! I was like what? I could have been "this popular and sought after" had I started earlier. My resume was completed on Aug 11,2021. I started a new job Sept 20,2021. No kidding. Everyone was coming out of the woodwork! Including some older companies I'd been trying to get my foot in the door.
PLEASE use this company and don't procrastinate. Love them and has highly referred them to my colleagues.
I used their service a few years ago and was pleased with the result. So, I bought the service for my son. The results were awful. Can't even begin to tell you how bad it was. The first resume was clearly written by someone who does not speak English as a primary language. We gave them pages of rewrites and requested a new writer. The second version had several grammar errors and false statements. Requested a refund after trying to work with them. They are very well-schooled at double-speak to deny a refund. They had not delivered the cover letter or linked in review. Couldn't even get that money back. The company is a scam now. Do not give them your money. You will not like the results.
I was able to get a job about one month after my resume was completed. I highly recommend the service!
Did an amazing job. Ensured all areas of concern were addressed and done so professionally.
The writer know very well the industry that I work for. She gave a good description matching my needs
Writer was good, but did find some glaring issues on the first run. Verbiage was off and template characters were in the draft so it's clearly a template being used. Once corrected, it looked good. Will see how it goes in the application world of ATS's next.
Extremely easy process and Warren was amazing! Warrens ability to put emphasis on my skills and experience was greatly achieved.
Working with Leo was great, he was really helpful and professional, he understands very well my feedbacks and opinions so he wrote the final resume very fast, for the cover letter he use that previous work with the resume and nailed at the first try.
Thank you Leo.
I was skeptical when first contact by TopResume upon uploading my resume to HIgher Ed Jobs.com
It felt very "spammy" to be contacted in that way and prompted to pay for a service I didn't ask for.
I decided to risk it based on the free feedback I received.
I was so wrong and pleasantly surprised throughout the process.
My resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile are all a MUCH better product and it was great to have keen and fresh eyes on my documents.
Very personal and prompt/professional service throughout.
I HIGHLY recommend using this service.
Best,
Julie Hill
The team at TopResume was top notch when it came to reviewing my current resume and providing feedback for improvement. They then worked quickly to re-do my resume along with my Linkedin profile. I have had many good responses so far from potential employers and it has helped me in my job search.
The person I was matched with was Talia. She was so fast and amazing. She got the first draft done in a day and there were only few minor changes we had to do. Before I knew it my resume was done. It's more professional now than before. I would recommend their services to everyone trying to get a professional job!
I had a goo experience and my resume got much stronger
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!
