The feedback was detailed, tailored to my resume, and critical. The advice was hard to hear but on point. The changes I made based on this feedback provided a clean, concise, and professional looking document. Thank you!
I am a happy client with a beautiful resume from Topresume.com.
A writer did their job carefully and respectfully, with a deep understanding of my needs.
I promise to give a writer my feedback regarding the results of the application of my resume.
Best way I can explain this process is fast, fun and friendly.
Do not do business with Top Resume unless you like wasting money and being rejected from job applications.
Your experience might be different, and they may be much better outside of the Technology field, but I found them to be completely useless for helping write an IT Sales resume.
I went back and forth several times with my offshore resume writer.
The moment I looked at the doc it was clear that it was created by someone that did not speak or write English as a native, nor did they have any understanding of my industry.
If the purpose of a resume was to trigger hits on keyword searches, then this document would be a success. For any other purpose, it was an absolute and complete failure.
Before beginning this appalling process, I applied to several jobs using my original resume, the source document I had sent to Top Resume. Fortunately for me, I am approaching the final stages in at least 5 different job opportunities.
Once I received the copy of the resume from TR, as a test, I showed them to the hiring managers and HR screeners for the job opportunities I'd already successfully applied for where my original document had done it's job.
100% of the people I showed them to said that they would have never called me back had I used that resume. This is roughly 10 different people that I had already impressed.
I have also showed it to friends and colleagues in the industry.
They all had the same feedback.
The documents were useless, and quite frankly, counterproductive to their purpose.
Some of the adjectives they used were: "barely coherent", "word salad", "buzzword bingo", "nearly English", "amateurish", and "clearly written offshore".
I'm going to say this again:
Had I used the documents you sent over, I'd have ZERO job prospects instead of the ten or so I've created for myself.
Your resume writer will basically ignore your feedback and make tiny, ineffective corrections to a document that isn't worth the electrons that compose it's existence.
Do not waste your money here.
I had a very positive experience with TopResume! The writer working on my document was prompt, professional, and happy to address any concerns, questions, or changes I had. I would recommend them to others.
I appreciated the interaction with my writer throughout the process and the quick turnaround on changes. The messaging made collaboration easy.
It was pleasure to work with Albert. His responses to my questions were always timely. I am hopeful that this change in my resume will be life changing. Thank you, Albert
Vicque was my writer and she did a fantastic job at capturing my best professional offerings while keeping everything true to my mission. I'm very grateful for her and for the referral from a friend to seek TopResume for my needs.
This was a great experience that really helped upgrade my current resume
Great and quick return of my resume and cover letter.
Marcus is a top-notch resume and cover letter writer! He took my information and created professional and timely documents. His communication was professional and he was responsive to questions and changes. He is very knowledgeable about the requirements of today's job market.
Enjoyed the recommendation and service and highly recommended this to anyone.
I needed to update my resume and cover letter. I didn't have enough contributions and goals reached from each position. Dianna was able to help me uncover those contributions and goals... talk about my achievements more at each job role. Very happy with service TopResume provided!
They fulfilled their promise within the set timeframe and with quality. Very happy with the end result, thank you!
All part of my experience was excelleant:
- undesrtanding my history, background, career development, requirements and comments were wonderful
- formatting/wording the resume, coverring letter and linkedIn profile were highly professional
- the communication and delivery were outstanding
Big thank to Ericka M.:-)
Lynda F did a wonderful job writing my professional military resume
Quite responsive to feedback, speedy work, looks good
Very nice and helpful staff and very well written to show my strength and experience.
Carol was very receptive to my needs and crafted a very professional resume and cover letter
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!
