At first I was skeptical about the service and how good a job they could do virtually and without closer interactions. However, it ended up being a good experience. After about 4 or 5 days, the resume writer sent me a completely revamped version of my resume, more concise and better structured. We also had additional back and forth messaging afterwards where the writer made additional changes. My writer was very responsive to my suggestions/requests.
My experience with TopResume was great. I have never known how to write a good resume. I only know one way and that way wasn't opening many doors for me. However, the resume Tayla wrote for me was top notch. I almost wanted to hire myself lol. I submitted my resume to a couple potential employers and the very next day I was contacted by one interested in me coming to work for them.
I had a person dedicated who executed and delivered fast
I worked with Murphey Z, he was very helpful, polite, and explained the rationale behind his decisions in a way that I could understand. The process's design and Murphey's help made the experience painless. I am confident that your services will give me the leg up that I need in the next phase of job hunting.
I was paired with the best resume writer for me, she was exactly what i needed after not touching my resume for almost nine years. My writer was able to get me down two pages capture my skills, strengths and help me understand my points that market the best! I recommend TopResume highly to new, old or just cannot figure it out! They pair you with the best guru to handle you personally and now i am off to venture my next career move!
It was great! Peter followed up with every concern or change I wanted…. My resume is perfect.
I'm finally have companies reaching out and I have my first face to face interview tomorrow. I never got this response with my previous resume.
Top Resume is not worth the money! My resume writer (who I think was a bot) crammed my information into a template. She gave me canned answers to my questions and simply made my current resume look pretty. I never had a conversation with her, verbal or written, about my profession, experience, or skills. The cover letter I received is terrible, and I will not send it to potential employers.
Worked with Nicole to update my resume and use more hiring and resume terms. She was very helpful and listened well. Nicole also changed the format to highlight my experience.
Nice and detailed insights for improvements in my Resume. Thank You Top Resume.
Linda wrote me documents that describe me as well as I wanted to, and at the same time they are more compact and to the point. Every skill and experience encoded into a rich text, which made me want to read the documents all the way.
I was very pleased with the work of my resume writer. The advise given was spot on! After not receiving any responses on my old resume I knew it was time to have a new one. The costs for these professional services is well worth it!
It was a good experience and i got to notice that my resume needs to get perfect. Also i can be able to work on myself and enhance my abilites so that i can potray my portfolio with confidence.
The service was fast, convenient, and expertly done with plenty of communication to ensure the product was to my satisfaction.
It is a Constructive criticism.its truthful evaluation of my profile.
The proposed resume was loaded with industry and technical errors not present in my resume. A few of examples of the myriad errors: Suggested "barristers" in a US attorney resume (! - I strongly suspect that "Daniel H." sits in India and isn't named "Daniel"); misconstrued copyrights and trademarks; changed my title from "Counsel" to "General Counsel"; and on and on. The proposed cover letter was no better. I should have known better than to go with a generalist service rather than someone who actually knows the US legal industry.
I have 30+ years experience in power, petrochemical, water and oil&gss plants installation in which almost 18 years experience in management
I had a great experience with TopResume and the information provided was super helpful.
They use an app to write you an appalling resume! Once they take your money, tough luck getting in contact with them! Don't waste your money! They basically stole 200 dollars from me. I asked my writer to expand a few 3 liner paragraphs that she wrote and her best contribution was to change the word "Daily" to "on a daily basis!" and that's how she attempted to rewrite all her short paragraphs! I sent them My newly written "professional resume" back to them under a new email and they rated their own work at 25 percent! This is a joke! In their advertisements, they mention that you can get a refund after 60 days if you don't get an interview and it's a lie! I tried to contact them multiple times and no one responded!
Timely, quick to response and very very nice :) Thank you!
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!
