So far,
TopResume has been helpful to me in creating a resume, cover letter, thank you note, and assisted with interviewing skills. I am working on my elevator speech and posting to job boards with their assistance.
Prior to using this service I was overlooked, by many of the companies I had applied to. After a week sending out the new resume, I had an interview and then was offered the position the next day. The writer helped me to understand what ATS is looking for and to spruce up my skillset and show that I can be an asset and that I do have transferable skills to get into the new career field that I have been looking for.
Multiple writers, several grammatical and formatting issues, impersonal experience. Use LinkedIn to find a local resume writer.
I chose to use TopResume because of the number of positive online reviews even though they were more expensive than local writers. My experience was terrible. I worked with one writer who delivered documents with so many errors that I immediately questioned the validity of this service. After giving him multiple chances, and delivering an incredibly clear list of concerns I had that he failed to address, I contacted customer service and they switched me to a more senior writer. She was better, but still delivered documentation that was not employer ready.
I contacted customer service and they agreed to refund a portion of the purchase price. It wasn't a fair refund considering they didn't deliver what their website promised and the amount of time and energy I had to put into the process.
Quick and in depth analysis for improving your career!
The reviewer was very direct and to the point. It dissected the resume into multiple items that were not optimal, but provided only one example of how to improve it.
I thought my resume was pretty good and have been told that by some potential employers however, Topresume gave me their evaluation the tips they gave, I can see there point!
My resume writer did a great job at showing my experience and I was very happy with the process.
Great tips and data compiled about resumes that I had no idea about. I'm working on my resume asap, Katie Warren went into detail about the changes and suggestions about what needed to be done to garner attention from recruiters! I am forever grateful for her help and TopResume
The entire experience was smooth and quick. I was matched with a personal professional writer the same day. Mel A. Created a resume and cover letter I was proud to send to every potential employer.
They took a simple resume and worked it into an attractive, eye catching format.
Professional. Helpful. Easy. Above and beyond.
One word of caution, I received emails from the company in my normal inbox *but* the email from my specific resume writer filtered into spam folder. So be aware of that. You can also log into the Top Resume website and check for messages there too.
Good efficient service. Focused on skills rather than describing each position in resume.
I felt taken cared off. Excellent personal service from knowledgeable professionals. I would use them again in the future if nessessary.
Mrs. Mary was awesome and quick. The only thing that we didn't get to discuss, only because she had not sent it prior to the completion date was the linked in information. But everything else was great and she was quick with all my responses.
She was able to do a quick overview of my resume prior to me signing up. She was quick in responding, listening to my direction of career I wanted to pursuit. She gave honest feedback with her professionalism. Very pleased and happy with outcome.
The resume was updated and now it is ready to be sent out to employers. Great Job emphasizing my experiences and aptitude as a master level social worker. 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!
