I had never worked with a professional resume writing company, so it was a new experience. It was an eye opening experience to see how employers viewed by resume and how it could improve to showcase what I am capable of doing. The questionnaire was helpful in forcing me to think about myself and the things I've done in my career and where I want to go and move towards. My writer, Jonathan R., was very nice and prompt. He did a wonderful job in taking what I thought was just a mess of information that I gave him and turning it into a very professional resume. Working with him was helpful and it was a smooth process.
The initial questionnaire was tricky as it did not take into consideration any experience other than could be proved with figures or awards. During the process with the writer it became clear that he had no clue about my job and what it is all about. He had a toolbox of phrases and sentences and he helped to shorten the CV and make it more concise but it was hard to bring a logical flow into it. I have revised also the LinkedIn page but so far I haven't received any request from interested companies / headhunters in spite of the promises. I doubt if I would do it again.
Was very easy to work with and I got an amazing resume and cover letter.
Sent in my old ratty a$$ resume for a do over. It came back looking like a shiny diamond. I just hope I can live up to the new and improved hype I posses. Now let's see if the calls come pouring in.
Received an excellent resume, cover letter and Linkedin profile data
Amazing experience! It was lovely working with Kim! She made everything so much easier in terms of my request and details. She's awesome!
I was very happy with the resume update and cover letter on the second draft, after my phone conversation with the consultant. The extra fee for the phone consultation was critical to making the documents work.
My resume writer was very responsive and I'm already seeing results.
This was my first experience getting my resume written by someone else. Overall, it was good so I could realize the gaps in my previous resume and how I was not emphasizing my strengths. I learned a lot and thought it was valuable to use this service. Only improvement I recommend is more responsive communication back and forth during review process.
The writer did a very good job and communicated with me through the process.
Amanda worked with me to tweak my resume to best represent my strengths for my desired career path. She was knowledgeable and took the time to help me determine the best way to highlight my achievements. Thank you, again, for your help!
Generic review of resume same critique given to my wife
My editor was easy to work with and helped to convey what was most important to me on my resume!
I ordered a make-over of my Resume' plus the addition of a cover letter. I received a response the same day, with a draft letter and Resume' the following day. Eventually the Resume' went through 3 drafts before I was satisfied. It appeared to me that the Resume' writer was not really familiar with my field(s) of study so that I had to request items be re-positioned in different categories within the Resume'. There were also a small number of instances where the English grammar needed correction. The Cover Letter style was good (as was that of the Resume') but I am not convinced it suits my needs.
I was getting good responses with the previous version of my resume. Only had a couple of revisions and it was complete. The first time I submitted through to 11 senior manager / manager openings, 5 recruiters wanted to set up discussions. Incredible. Unbelievable. Thanks!
Never wrote anything and won't give a refund. Terrible company. Katie Warren is a liar so don't trust her or this company.
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!
