“My second writer did a great job”

Todd M.
3/5/24

I got a writer at first who was not a good match, she actually removed my current role and past 3 years of relevant experience from my resume for unknown reasons. The second writer, Brandon, was awesome. He understood and took the time to craft a well reading, solid resume with all my experience included in a relevant, concise manner. We finally got the ATS result I was seeking and I feel confident in the resume being ready for use. Great job!

Top Critical Review

“Scam”

Andrew R.
2/1/24

This company is a scam. They ran my resume through what appeared to be ChatGPT and gave it back nearly identical but with translation errors. They then fired and gave me a new writer. The second writer had never worked in tech and was a porno writer (we all know how bad that writing is). Total scam. Stay far away from TopResume.

TopResume employs the best writers. Not only was my resume completed promptly, but it was a new resume that displayed my intent and career direction, which I can use confidently to apply for the positions I want.
My Resume writer, Arshiya S, was terrific and deserves more than ten stars. The document effectively captured my objectives, And I was provided with sound advice on best business practices. I recommend Topresume to everyone and specifically endorse Arshiya S as the best!

Reason I chose this business:

While registering for a job search board, I received a free critique from TopResume that pointed out some flaws within my old resume. I was aware of some of these shortcomings and unaware of the others; however, the assessment was reasonable. Therefore, I chose to have TopResume write me a new resume.

I had been looking for work for nearly a year, and with years of experience was disgruntled that I wasn't getting any response. Come to find out the ATS system was giving me a horrible score because my college closed its doors and showed that I had no education. TopResume worked out the kinks and now has positioned my resume and cover letter to make it to the desk of a real person. Thank you!

Reason I chose this business:

I had found them somehow, can't really recall but finally pulled the trigger once they offered a discount on their services.

It felt a little AI at the beginning - some of the mistakes in the doc were not something an experienced writer would make. If the process does include AI - I think that is fine - but it needs to be revealed. During the revision, the experience felt more human. If the initial draft had not had grammar and spelling errors - this would have been 5 star, or if I had understood that the first pass would be via AI that would have been fine too.

Promptly after signing up, I was assigned to Zach. He reached out to me to introduce himself and provide a questionnaire. My first draft was completed within two days, providing enough time to make corrections, ask questions, and provide feedback. He was very responsive and straightforward to work with. I believe he produced a solid document that immediately made me feel more confident that it would help me to find the right job.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose TopResume because I needed help writing a document that reflects my capabilities and achievements while using the context, structure, and wording that will most likely appeal to recruiters.

Let me warn you all, I paid for a full service, Resume, LinkedIn and 48hr rush, I still haven't received my professional resume, no LinkedIn profile, and definitely not in 48hrs. I was robbed over $350. Do not ever let Hilda offer you anything. I will be telling everyone I know to stay away from Top Resume. That's a joke of a name and they aren't top of anything but the dump. There's a special place for liars and thieves. I have two open fraud cases against the thieves. Please do not use. You will regret. Very very bad service.

TopResume offered three options for resume work as well as upgrade options for career support based on personal needs.

Their initial package of resume writing was my primary goal. After my purchase, the writer assigned to me reached out and started the process.

It was easy to chat with the writer, see updates on the work, and enough time allotted to allow for edits, questions, etc.

The writer did such a fabulous job, I asked her to write my cover letter as well. I appreciate thar the offers for upgrades throughout the process were not annoying but relevant.

Reason I chose this business:

A family member recommended TopResume for a resume upgrade as I'm looking for jobs.

This was my second time using TopResume. I used them about 5 years ago and had great results, plenty of interviews, and changed careers since then. This time, my writer was assigned within a day and my first draft was done within 2 days (I paid for rush). The writer was very polite and provided timely responses. The draft was great and the end product looks amazing. Thanks again TopResume!

Right from the beginning this service sounded very professional, I had some previous experiences with rookie resume markers on LinkedIn and other platforms but their work was horrible. First I was sent a questionnaire and I had provide all relevant information, then I was assigned with Thomas Z who started working on my Project. He was very patient and thoughtful with all my concerns and he made all necessary changes without breaking a sweat. I am satisfied with my resume and I 100% recommend this service.

Reason I chose this business:

I have sent almost 400+ resume in last few months and then I got my resume evaluation through this company Top Resume for free. The sent a detailed evaluation which pointed out all major issues due to which my resume was not being picked by ATS of companies and there was no proper key words optimization in my resume. I was portrayed as doer not an achiever and that needed to change. Hence I gave my Project to Top Resume.

My resume revision was done with professionalism and I'm now ready and excited to start applying for Physician Assistant positions in my area. The ability to message my writer made it a very simple process. Would highly recommend.

They were able to contact my writer who was then able to answer my questions in a timely manner.

Reason I chose this business:

After my original resume was looked at by a professional writer ( for free!) I felt as though I couldn’t use that resume with confidence.
For the price it was definitely worth it and again I would recommend to anyone.

I was concerned about the process at first, but my writer, Nora, was absolutely phenomenal! She quickly and effectively took my input documents and reviewed my portfolio before crafting an absolutely brilliant resume, cover letter, AND LinkedIn profile update for me. I could not be happier with the experience OR the final product. Giving feedback and edit requests was perfectly painless and quick, and rewrites were turned around almost immediately. Again, I could not be happier!

Reason I chose this business:

I chose TopResume based on other customer reviews and the pre-service, free resume review results I received.

As a dissatisfied customer, I feel compelled to share my recent experience with TopResume. I engaged their services with high hopes of receiving a professional resume tailored to my needs. Unfortunately, what I received was far below even the most basic standards of quality.

Despite my attempts to address the issue, including discussions about assigning a new writer and offering refunds of 15% and 50%, the problem remains unresolved. No new writer was assigned, and the prolonged delay in resolving the matter has been utterly unacceptable.

What's more, the significant gaps between correspondence only reinforced my belief that the individual handling my case failed to understand the importance and urgency of the matter.

After careful consideration, I have requested a 50% refund, as previously offered, and have decided to terminate my account with TopResume. While I appreciate their attempts to rectify the situation, the extended delay and lack of a satisfactory resolution have left me with no other choice.

Overall, my experience with TopResume has been extremely disappointing. I urge others to consider these shortcomings before engaging in their services.

Sincerely,
AJ Albuquerque

I ordered the resume / cover letter combo. The first draft of my new resume contained quite a few formatting and grammatical errors. I contacted Customer Service, and as I understood their response I was not buying a finished product, but the opportunity to collaborate with a writer. Apparently my part of the collaboration was proofreading. I was not offered a full or partial refund, nor the opportunity to work with a different writer. I wonder if Top Resume has grown too fast to maintain their quality of service, as their reviews from several years ago are really excellent.

Tip for consumers:
Top result for a Google search for "Top Resume Reviews" is TrustPilot, which would have been a red flag had I checked.

I've only had my new resume format about 24 hours, with only one application sent with it so far, so it's not like there's been enough time to see if there's been any improvement in interest. They should probably send out review requests after 30 days for this service.

Reason I chose this business:

The advertising is pretty aggressive and hard to ignore. That said, I have tons of good experience, but little luck in translating that to hireability, so I took a gamble on a professionally prepared resumé. Hopefully this will change that; we shall see...

Over my professional career, I have only had to complete a resume once and that was 15 years ago. Wanting to ensure that I was presenting the best version of myself and my professional accomplishments in the era of automated resume services and hundreds of competing applicants was very overwhelming. TopResume put my mind at ease. After uploading my current resume and a few quick questions, I was assigned a representative who took that information and created a top notch resume.

Reason I chose this business:

I recently had the pleasure of working with Billie A., who took my existing resume and transformed it into a professionally curated curriculum vitae. From the outset, Billie was attentive and genuinely interested in understanding my career goals and experiences. The improvements made to my resume were beyond my expectations. Not only did Billie enhance the layout and readability, but they also highlighted my achievements and skills in a way that truly stood out.
Furthermore, Billie crafted a cover letter that perfectly complemented my resume. It was clear, concise, and effectively conveyed my enthusiasm for the positions I am applying for. The cover letter captured my personal voice and professional aspirations, making it a powerful addition to my job application materials.
Billie's expertise, attention to detail, and prompt communication made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I am immensely satisfied with the results and feel much more confident in my job search. I highly recommend Billie to anyone looking to elevate their resume and cover letter. With Billie's help, I am now equipped with a professional and persuasive presentation of my career path.

I paid TopResume for their "Premium" resume service. The entire experience has given off scam vibes.

Every step of the way they try to upsell you with additional services, both during the initial process and with endless follow-up emails.

The resume their writer provided for me (after a week of time) is utter garbage. It was not written by a professional or anyone that has so much as a single clue about my industry (software). They took phrases from my own LinkedIn profile, copy/pasted them into my resume, and bloated every single phrase with completely meaning drivel. Rather than highlighting my experience and achievements, they turned my resume into an incomprehensible, poorly formatted mess.

They introduced spelling mistakes. They made up things that I never did and presented these as hard facts. They introduced phrases that simply don't make sense.

I could not imagine a worse mess.

This company does not provide professional services, they are scammers. Avoid them at all costs!
