It took less than an hour for Bennett to start working on my resume after I signed up to have my resume reviewed and improved. Communication was fast, respectful, professional and very productive. Bennett told me what the areas for improvement were and what the approach should be to have my skills highlighted and use the proper terminology recruiters look for. I am very delighted with my resume, LinkedIn profile, and letters. I also had an interview coaching session with Andy and learnt so much from it.
I had to ask for changes several times. The writer overexaggerated my importance and some of the functions I performed. Also contacts with higher ups were incorrect or not factual to the officers titles.
Several rewrites and now it is correct and proper.
Took extra effort, but in the end it was worth it. Got a Cover letter and Thank You letter as well.
I am very pleased with my finished product, the promptness of revisions and the price I paid!, their website wa easy to navigate, too. Safe purchase, great product.
The result was effective, the writer was able to craft the document well and it produced results.
4.5 stars - TopResume has an abundance of data relating job seekers to experience and unique qualifications. Do not expect any kind of advice or feedback relating to where you fit relative to that data. Missed opportunity.
I received the rewrite of my résumé within just a couple days and had very few edits. Here's the great part, within a day of re-posting it on the jobsites I had 3 requests for interviews that I haven't had before. It has to be the résumé!
I constantly received the feedback that the CV I spent time updating was not in the approved 'format'. This evidently meant I couldn't receive spelling and grammar feedback.
So beware, they will update your CV to their 'approved' version but will NOT provide grammar or spelling feedback on what you write in different versions. I'm left with an updated format CV that I'm not confident sending because the content hasn't been vetted - not helpful...
The supporter really nice, she helped me a lot in reviewing my resume, therefore I got an attrative offer from my dreamy company.
The response I got was really in-depth and super helpful! It gave me many great tips that I know will make my resume so much better.
I get tons of responses, though I do feel my resume could use a lil polishing.
They tell you the great and not-so-great things about what you show them, which is a good thing. I felt it was genuine and not meant to hurt anyone.
I had a call with Katie Warren about what I wanted to convey with my updated resume. She was very thoughtful, a great listener and even a cheerleader in my job search process.
I had my resume updated, cover letter created and LinkedIn profile updated as well.
I've received more responses to my job applications thanks to my updated resume and cover letter.
Sally T. Did an amazing job updating my resume. I now feel more confident that my resume accurately projects me qualifications.
Thank you so much!
Very good and friendly personnel. My resume now neat and well presented. My main objective was simple, to make my 7 pages resume to become only 1-2 pages without discounting any of my good qualities, and they delivered it very well.
Easy to use. Good communication and a great finished product.
So I had my resume looked at and found that I'm generally 22% of a match of my jobs. I decided to go with TopResume. In 24-48 hours of submitting the forms I had my rough draft that after asking the writer to change something that I though was redundant and the addition of my linkedin profile it was complete. The only reason I do not want to give 5 stars is that I'm not sure if this has made a difference in my searches yet. So far I haven't gotten more responses but I had the final draft on the Friday before a holiday weekend and it's Tuesday afternoon now
Overall a good experience and my resume is definitely much improved.
My one challenge was working with someone overseas which made timing of communication and availability for our phone consultation less than ideal.
Tanner from TopResume took great care of me! The service was quick, professional, and pleasingly thorough.
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.
