They got me the job!
November 3, 2016

I was having no progress applying for jobs until I contacted TopResume for an edit. I agreed with their assessment, so I had them revamp my resume into one compact page and I got a job offer the first time I used the new improved resume from TopResume. I could not have gotten the job without their expertise in editing my resume and I am grateful for their service.

A good experience.
November 3, 2016

I contacted TopResume after a few months of hearing the crickets on my existing resume. Within 24 hours, I was assigned a writer who had a first draft ready for review. The visual appearance of the resume was stunning compared to my own version. It was well written and highlighted my past experience.

I only have a few issues with the final product: despite telling the author that my name was misspelled, it was never corrected (an easy fix, though). Also, after sending the resume to a former professor for a final review before posting to jobs sites, the professor didn't think that it "screamed" my new profession like it should. There was too much emphasis on my former profession.

Nice work.
November 3, 2016

I appreciate Kimberly's work. However, by looking at both my resume and the one made for me by Kim, I can tell that the style of my resume far better though looks can be deceiving. Kim's work shortened my resume and helped reduced all the words I had put in mine and made it simple to read. Although I appreciate Kim's hard work, but I expected more for the money that TopResume requires a customer to pay.

This is a great service!
November 3, 2016

Top Resume did a great job of taking my resume to the next level. Within a day of posting my new resume and updating my Linkedin profile with Kyla's suggestions I had 3 recruiters emailing me with jobs. My resume is polished, professional and highlights the accomplishments I have had in my career. Kyla even had insight enough to create a resume that took into consideration my age and took that possible liability and turned it into an asset. When I had hesitations about seeking a higher level position Kyla offered words of support and encouraged me to be confident in taking my career to the next level.

I was a skeptic about having someone else write a resume that would be 100% satisfactory. Top Resume was proactive and responsive. The writer was quick on the first draft and listend to feedback with the end result of excellent work and 100% satisfaction. In addition, they provided the assistance necessary to make linked in looking top notch. I will use Top Resume again in the future. Great work. Thank you Top Resume!

Pleasantly Surprised!
November 2, 2016

I actually had reservations about using Top Resume because it was an online company and not a face to face type of setting. I was pleasantly surprised, it took only about a week for my resume to be completely done with a couple of revisions. The only thing is the resume that I sent did not separate tasks with specific jobs so my first couple of revisions came back with tasks under wrong job titles. Once I resent the information with more detail, my writer quickly caught on and revised and now it's in a good place. I was looking for a more professional polished resume. My old one was just boring and didn't stand out. I really love the format that was chosen for my new one and I have to say that after sending it out for one week, I got 2 interviews and a job offer. I have moved into a much better position and I do believe my new resume was a huge factor in this move. Thanks so much!

Great Customer Service
November 2, 2016

I received great customer service from my writer and my drafts were sent to me in a timely manner. I had my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn account redone and I was very impressed with the work my writer did! She took the time to answer all of my questions and comments about her revisions in detail and she also explained why they were necessary. My resume and cover letter were re-constructed in such a way that made my qualifications more obvious for the positions to which I was applying. I found TopResume to be a great resource because my writer was able to look at my resume from a different perspective and modify it so that it stands out.

Brent at TopResume did an excellent job at re-tooling my very wordy resume and provided me with a great cover letter which I can easily tweak for various jobs and an updated LinkedIn profile. I applied to a job via LinkedIn last week and they called me 15 minutes later! Thanks Brent and TopResume!

Skeptical at First But It was a Wise Investment

Hello my name is TKElectric75. I am a nerd by design, and very passionate about what i do. So it was very difficult for me to come to terms that I would have pay for someone to write a resume. I am entering into the corporate world so now i have be sorta pg and have to use words that they understand... They were able to work with the information I provided. And when I was not satisfied with the results they escalated it to the next level... it took abit more time because I had become frustrated until i realized... that the reason they were asking more of me was because they were really taking this serious... and i love the way you do not actually speak voice to voice with the writer... it helps because you have to expound on what you are trying to convey in your data sheet... Now there is a voice if you have a problem... so rest assured they will take care of you... take a look for your self /tkelectric75.com they did the about us resume... i am still working on formatting... I plan on using them in the future when i have ad the Bio of my guys to my website...

Skeptic Turned Believer
November 2, 2016

I was wary after reading that everyone basically gets the same free feedback (which did turn out to be true), but then once my resume was turned over to the person who specialized in my area I could tell I was in great hands. I am very happy with the way my resume turned out! The cover letter is standard, but I was just too lazy to write one myself. Very responsive and helpful - I'm already reaping the benefits of a better resume!

The writer assigned to me did a fantastic job of overhauling my old resume. My version was too detail oriented. The writer took a step back and helped me portray with overall accomplishments and make things more concise. Great service - highly recommended.

Dominque A. Was my writer and did a great job on my resume. They asked a few clarifying questions to be sure they had a understanding of my accomplishments to produce the first draft. If I had questions the response time was quick. After a few minor adjustments the second draft was sent. Dominque was extremely accommodating and did everything to make me happy. The end result was a very professional resume that was appealing to the eye marketing my experience better than I could. I would Highly recommend Topresume.

Poor communication
October 31, 2016

At first I did not want to leave any feedback, but I decided why not. I did not like the service, communication and final product I got.
I contacted and pay for my resume because English is not my native language and I was needed help with correct English and technical part as well.
When I got my first draft, I was really confused, because in technical terms it was copy/paste from my own resume I sent as an example, and some parts of this resume was not written right in technical terms and was just copy/paste to my draft.
I asked the writer if she has a technical knowledge in field I am working (her English was perfect, no questions, but resume is not only about English) I think she got angry, she wrote to me that she is professional and know what she is doing. When I asked about some changes, I got answer in 4 days, and changes she made I did not like at all. She never asked any questions and communication was zero, I felt like she doesn't care at all.
At the end I am not Front End/Full Stack Developer; from resume she wrote I more like Web designer with set of technologies I even was not ever working with. I don't know how she even came up with those technologies.
But formatting was good.
