Helped me highlight my strengths and word them in a way that made me shine,
My liaison was with Isabella Johnson. She did a professional job of revamping my resume. She was prompt in responding to my email enquiries and in incorporating my feedback in drafting the resume. I am very satisfied with the end product.
Top Resume are very professional people, enjoy taking the time for feedback. They stay in touch with the client. I will leave her all my plants the top resume.
I used the service to get my resume updated. I was satisfied with the results
Very impressed. I needed assistance writing snd formatting my CV and Leah was great. Once I gave her my old resume, she made it into a modern, well structured CV. The system was easy to use and accessible. Very professional and met all deadlines. Thank you!
Top services, top professionals! I thought I was rather familiar with job applications, resumes and stuff. I knew nothing, in fact :) The new CV rewritten by a professional, the cover letter, the thank you letter, the mock interview session, all of these showed me just how important details can be. I discussed with fantastic people, the feedback was great, the communication was great, all the advice I got was great. I want to thank all the people I was in contact with, hopefully my chances to find the desired job will now dramatically increase!
I had the initial assessmet of my resume completed through a link on Ladders and the comments were promising. I then paid for an updated resume and the person assigned was awful. They used incorrect years for my employment (unacceptably careless) even though it was clear on the original resume. I have a background in accounting and finance. The person tried to combine many unrelated roles and demonstrated no understanding of this field. I provided comments including the correct work years and it took 48 hours to respond with a comment that asked me to provide the correct work years and for the information I already provided. I sent an email to my initial contact complaining. It took days for her to respond with an offer for a more experienced person to take over the account but no one ever did.
All responses come around 3am EST which leads me to believe that this is nothing more than a contracted out business with no real insight being provided. I would never recommend spending $149 for this basic service and would not trust them with the additional work they try to sell.
This was very interesting and insightful, making me aware of how I put myself across in my CV.
Thankyou
I paid for the highest package as well as $75 for priority delivery and I got a poorly written CV that was full of grammatical errors, the writer butchered my original CV, threw out important experience points and after 5 days got the same with a bunch of comments and only a title change. I also didn't get a LinkedIn profile makeover by the deadline so other than a cover letter, I didn't receive what I paid for. Their writers are poor and they have zero customer service. No one has responded to my complaint to date, and I think they are buying time till the edit window closes. Stay away and save your money as I feel that I was robbed by professional scammers!
I can only review on their first respond to my cv. I think she was spot on with her comments. I did not take it to the next step, but think i will. Stil not sure if i must immigrate
I found the comments and suggestions for improving my resume very relevant and accurate and personalized. Very much appreciated.
Thank you!
I had a great experience working with TopResume. My writer was very responsive, and was able to meet all my needs. I would definitely recommend TopResume to anyone looking to revamp their resume!
Easy, fast and efficient. Resume looks more professional and geared directly to my desired job outcome! The addition of the cover letter, Thank you letter AND LinkedIn reboot was amazing.
My writer cleaned up my government resume from 19 pages to four while maintaining the details needed for HR review. This was such a relief for me - thank you for help. Would recommend this service for others.
Abe wrote a great resume and was very quick and profession during the process!
Submitted my order, gave them all of the info they asked for within a day, wrote my writer a day after my draft was due (2 weeks later) and got no response. Gave another 4 days and called their support staff who told me they'd assign me a new writer. New writer turned my resume and cover letter around in 24 hours, however it had grammar mistakes, punctuation errors and read very awkwardly. (I paid for their executive package and someone fresh out of university could have written a more compelling resume.)
I called to complain and ask for a refund, they sent it to their accounting team who denied my refund and told me I could have 40% back. I started commenting on their Twitter posts about my experience and within two days I talked to Jennifer, their operations manager. She was polite and listened and asked if there was anything she could do. I told her no and that I wanted a refund. A couple days later I got an email saying they would process my refund in 5-10 business days. It's now a month later, I don't have a refund and their customer support team isn't responding to my messages. I have to file a chargeback because in the next few days I'll be beyond my ability to do so.
Terrible quality of work, awful customer service and absolute incompetence.
Excellent work! Harrison S. Communicated throughout the entire process. I am very pleased with his work of my resume, CL, and LI profile. I recommend their services.
I ordered the most expensive resume package that is "guaranteed" to produce results and done by the "top 10% of our network". I went through 3 different resume writers, each process taking a week or two, and every single result was significantly worse than the original resume I provided them to begin with. After 3 failed results I asked for my money back and they refused. This service is basically a scam. They take your money, produce terrible crap, then refuse to give your money back when you aren't happy.
Craig at Top Resume did a great job with my resume and cover letter. He was quick to respond to my edits and concerns. Overall it was a very good experience.
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!
