I expected more. I put my resume out on indeed, USA jobs I am I did not get as many hits as I was thinking I was going to get. In fact I got more hits from the resume I created myself. So I asked a couple of friends to review it. They thought it was too vague and not enough action words were used to be counted by resume readers.
I was provided with a tailored resume, perfectly structured and incredible formatting that helped set my resume apart. I was extremely impressed when I received my first draft and my final, throughout the whole process my writer was very accommodating, making the process go a lot smoother. I will continue to utilize TopResume in the future should the need arise.
Adrian did a great job of updating my resume to include what I expressed to him. It looks more current and highlights my accomplishments.
Historically I've felt that anyone who felt they couldn't construct their own resume' was likely not qualified for a job where one would be required. But my position on this changed as online screening technology like the ASC screening software and recruiter networks took ownership of the majority of job opportunities and impressive as my resume' wasn't being reviewed. I had my resume' written by a resume' service a few years prior to using TopResume' and I must say, the writer assigned to me understood my work experience and skill sets much better than the previous service and produced a resume' much sooner than the previous service. My writers product put a fresh new look to my resume', succinctly conveying my skills sets, accomplishments and education on the first page which is saying something because I have a rather accomplished 30 year career. I've only just begun submitting this new resume' so it is too soon to say whether or not this new and improved version will help get me a job, but so far I'm happy.
Working with my resume writer at TopResume was a really great experience. Not only did they revise multiple resume drafts based on my feedback but they also helped me with my LinkedIn and Cover letter. I highly recommend working with them.
Warren transformed a stale document to better show off the skills and accomplishments achieved. He provided excellent advice on techniques and content to avoid to limit potential filtering for age. Due to the highly specialized nature of my experience, I don't expect my search to be an overnight success. I am, however, confident that I now have a resume that will support finding the right fit.
Steve was my writer. Although I have only begun to submit applications I can confidently say, Steven was outstanding. He listened to what I said, made sound recommendations and explained them as they were presented.
He was patient, attentive and a good listener. He asked questions to become more informed about my particular industry and together we explored my options. We wen through several revisions until I was comfortable with the product.
We produced a one page resume that captured and clearly highlighted my skills, experience and knowledge without saying too much.
I would have no problem reaching out to Steven again or to recommend Top Resume.
I'm so happy that I chose to work with TopResume. My resume writer, Stephanie, was fast and professional. Her suggestions really improved the way my resume looked and read. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking for assistance with their resume and LinkedIn profile.
This is my second time using TopResume. I just had them perform a refresh of my resume for a new position in my company and I couldn't be more pleased. Fast turn around, expertly written and very easy to work with. I would use this service again in a heartbeat.
TopResume provided high quality resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn website products. They were responsive and include new and better presentations of my experience and capabilities.
I have head hunters contacting me every day. More than I ever did by writing my own resume. Great job all around.
Basically the resume writer will ask you what you want to put on the resume and use the expect same language that you gave them. If that's the case I would have wrote my own resume
Exceeded all expectations in every way. Great service, communication and professionalism. Highly recommend to anyone needing advise and current advise to update what employers want to see.
Overall it was a pretty good experience. The writer did a great job at articulating my strengths in a way I never would have been creative enough to do. I didn't ask him to change the spelling and grammatical errors because I thought that was a given and did not want to offend since it was the rough draft but the final draft had the same grammatical and spelling errors. It was an easy fix but for the price you'd think it wouldn't need to be fixed.
This is the second time I have used topresume. The work is always top notch, the writers are easy to work with and my resume looks awesome. This time I am attempting to make a large jump up in my career and the writer really listened to me and produced a resume fitting for the position. Thank you!
My resume was reviewed by Emily Gardner. This was already more than what I expected. I thought some automated system would review it and spit out some patent recommendations. Instead, Emily provided a thorough, in-depth review. She addressed several key points specific to my resume with recommendations for each. I was extremely impressed by both TopResume and Emily Gardner. I highly recommend them.
I was very pleased with my experience. I am happy with the new setup. It looks much more professional.
Great job helping me update my resume. I appreciate the work
I really appreciate the critique I received for my resume, because I simply wasn't aware of many things that should be considered while designing a resume or the way it should be written. I'm very grateful for all the quality tips I received
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!
