TopResume

I was hoping they would improve my resume. What came back felt like it was written for a junior sales or marketing role, rather than an experienced IT project manager. Then no response for some time when I complained. They then assigned another writer, who was just as bad and will not enter into a dialogue. They will not answer direct questions. I sent my original and new versions to 3 people, each said my original was better for me. Do not waste your money on these people.

I've been contemplating whether or not to trust TopResume's services for several days. The gal I worked with (sales, not a writer) was terrific until I wrote her back with my concerns that her company was going to be a rip-off like the last one I tried. At that point, she pretty much blew me off.

Then I visited a couple of these review sites and saw the ratings other people gave them. My instincts were right. They are NOT to be trusted. I am thankful for sites like this. They saved me wasting a lot of money.

My writer didn't have a clue about the IT field and my resume came back looking like it was a college term paper. Paid for expedited service and turn around but missed the mark by 48 hrs with no refund. My writer was generally disinterested and got a little defensive when I was asking about the format used. He kept on saying it had peer review and this was the way resumes should be presented now. I am a hiring manager and can't say I have ever seen this format come across my desk. Total waste of money and time.

I decided my resume needed a refresh and with all the new tools that recruiters are using to sift through millions of credentials, it's important to structure it properly and use precise terminology for an optimal digital profile. I was very happy with the quick turnaround and formatting.

I loved working with this company! Amazing work, and they get it just right. Since then I have received many job interviews and hopefully some job offers in the future. A massive thanks goes out to them for doing a brilliant job and treating their customers so well!

The resume will have to be rewritten, it left out lot key information, there was not much communication with writer, plus I paid for extra service that was never completed. I am not impressed at this time until they rewrite everything for the amount of money I spent.

I'm still waiting for the Resume that I have paid for. I questioned the writer and now I've been completely ignored. Even "my personal link" is void of any documents that are supposed to be there. TopResume doesn't even deserve one star for their effort. A "Senior" editor took over and screwed up what started as a good attempt at writing. You are supposed to be matched with a writer who is experienced with your industry, and that didn't happen. It would be waste of money if they actually supplied a resume to me.

All this service provided me was a different format.The first draft has punctuation and spelling mistakes. I was told "this is the first draft". I would expect one or two mistakes but not the multiple problems I found. Obviously not written by anyone familiar with technology. The final stroke was finding this summary still in the third draft: "A results-oriented IT professional with years of 15+ years of technical management experience." They are not writers. They just take your resume, plug it into their template and expect you to make all of the corrections.

First you get 7 days to review what they've done, which I didn't realize at first. When I looked their work, I thought it would require so much of my own rework to make sense of it, I didn't bother to comment on their work. The resume is a key word soup and doesn't represent my actual work experience. It actually omits a tremendous amount of my responsibilities within my jobs and makes my years of experience look pretty light weight. I suppose the layout is more pleasing aesthetically though.

It was weird that all the communications were strangely impersonal, no last names for the person helping me. I could only communicate via email. It was like one of those internet marketing things where they provide only the first name of those supposed happy customers. If this person is helping you on an individual basis, why the anonymity?

It feels very much like they just crank out formulaic resumes. Not worth the money.

Absolute scam of a service, they do not ask any questions in regards to your experience and will instead make minor alterations around your actual resume. The LinkedIn "upgrade" is basically a copy pasted format with portions from the new resume.
Save your money, go to someone local.

I have never been that great at resume writing so I sought out The professionals at TopResume to look it over at no cost. It was eye-opening to get an honest critique on how my resume was lacking and not presenting myself and my skill set in a way to make employers want to pursue me further. They were quick with their rewrite and I was allowed one edit. My writer worked nicely with me and incorporated my thoughts as well. Within 4 days I had a solid resume and cover letter In my hands and I am actually experiencing a positive response!

Searching for job that we want and getting in is one of the most important tasks in our lives. First impression is most important but we can present ourselves only through piece of paper. Two pages have 5 minutes to show 5,10, or 20 years of our life, experiences and education in best possible way to preferred employer. Top Resume have worked with me on my resume and cover letter until I was totally sure that those two pages describe my knowledge and my experiences. They have answered all my question promptly and professionally with full explanation.
