I got them to do a resume for me and all them really did was re-word the resume I already had. It do not highlight any of my qualifications. There were misspelled words in it. The cover letter was worse than the resume. Neither the resume nor the cover letter was applicable for the job title I was applying for. They will not give a refund. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE FOR ANY REASON.
Good communication with the resume writer listen to my request and even though I was a little late with reviewing the documents the time was extended and the work into suggested that I gave were implemented in the resume to my satisfaction. Pretty good service.
Very detailed flawless process. Will not hesitate to recommend to anyone for their services.
Linda P, a consummate professional, was exteremely helpful.
My resume writer Stuart C., is a professional writer, patience, detail-oriented, and understanding of customer's need. He's very informative, excellent listening skills as well as delivers ahead of time and communicates very good.
It was very helpful and enlightening. It also mede me revise my own resume to find better opportunities and chances of being hired.
Very informative for improvements on resumes. The further more I read into my review, the more detailed it got. The best thing I liked was how they illustrated what recruiters see on their end and also what systems they have in place that automizes our resumes for review or reject.
This was the worst experience I have had with a company. They have a no-refund policy! Beware. My writer was out sick and after trying to reach them I got an email that they did not know their writer was sick. They missed the deadlines of drafts, and the connected me with a writer who just put something together. IF you are an executive or higher level job seeker do not use them. This is not a company you want to put your faith in for your career.
Agent Robin was excellent in all areas creating my resume, cover letter and linkedin profile. I was also very impressed at the fast reply to my email with corrections which were very few.
Because of the excellent job i will most certainly share all the info regarding your company.
Excellent resume and letter. LinkedIn work was of no value.
I was initially going to work with another gentleman but that fell through and top resume quickly responded and connected me to someone who helped immediately. I absolutely love the service and I am very grateful for Daniel who help me complete my resume. I received feedback from my family and they couldn't stop telling me how professional and organized my resume looked.
Mary N. Was a pleasure to work with. I gave her a word salad and she created a 5 course gourmet meal!
Throughout the process, the communication was very concise and on time. My writer was very thorough, articulate, and understanding of what I was trying to accomplish. I would recommend this service for anyone that is looking to revamp their resume whether it's straightforward or complicated. Well worth the money!
I knew my resume needed a refresh, but was stuck on how to better describe myself. I found the process very straightforward and easy to complete. I provided some basic information along with my resume, and the resume writer took all that I shared and compiled an excellent version of a resume and a cover letter that I can use. I appreciated the opportunity to review & comment on the document in the draft stage. I am very happy with the final result!
My resume came back full of run-on poorly constructed sentences and unnecessarily hyphenated words. It's clear that whoever wrote it had no concept of the sectors I support (technology, media & entertainment and telecommunications) and wasn't a native speaker of English. My cover letter is clunky to read and I would, frankly, be embarrassed to submit it anywhere. My LinkedIn profile makes erroneous claims about my experience that are patently false and were not even alluded to in the documents I submitted. Edits I sent on the 5th were not completed until the 10th, and were completed poorly. This was a bad experience and a waste of money. My documents are unusable, and the process took so long that if I had been waiting on these materials to apply to a specific role, the posting would have closed before I received the documents even though I paid for expedited service.
Additionally, as soon as you purchase something from top resume you will receive several emails a day trying to sell additional services like thank you letters and interview skills workshops.
I was given so much hype in the email I received and all things they would do to "fix" my resume. Literally all they did was move the same phrases and words around. When I was unimpressed and required a refund (it was expensive), I was ignored. The other big problem is that I am in Canada and it's an American company. We do business VERY differently up here and a resume needs to reflect that. I give them a big ZERO for poor customer service and wasting my time and money.
At the same time, I found out that I submitted my CV in vain and that no matter how hard I tried to get in the graces of an employer, I would get in trouble. I better let them find me...
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!
