Impressed
September 7, 2016

I'm happy with my decision. The turnaround was very quick and I was impressed with the results. I purchased the "Executive Priority" package which included a resume rewrite, cover letter, and LinkedIn template. A writer was assigned within a few hours of my purchase, and once it was assigned to a writer, Elizabeth, she turned the first draft of the resume around within a few hours which I wasn't expecting. I was primarily concerned about the summary I'd written at the beginning of the resume, and making the bullets/achievements for each of my past jobs more succinct. She was able to rewrite the summary and sections in such a way that my experience and achievements are highlighted and will stand out better. It really makes me look good and represents my experience and what I'm going for much better! I had some feedback and questions which I placed in the document with comments, and she sent a second draft with edits and answers to my questions quickly. You can work with/go back and forth with your writer to come up with a draft you're satisfied with for a week.

I initially discovered TopResume through Glassdoor.com; I uploaded my resume to Glassdoor, and was offered a free resume evaluation from TopResume. I scoped it out and it looked legit, so I gave it a whirl. The free eval turnaround was quick and the results were thorough. I especially liked that they ran my resume through an applicant tracking system resume scanning software like most of the big companies use. They show you what the scan shows potential employers about you, so you can get an idea of how to adjust keywords in your resume for different results. As part of the resume rewrite, my writer adjusted keywords to make sure that the auto scanning software would paint the right picture of my experience and what I'm striving for in the future.

Overall, a great experience. I was surprised by the quality of the results and the turnaround time.

If you're car breaks, you take it to a mechanic because they know how to fix it... if you have a tooth ache you consult a dentist, again because that's who knows how to truly help you... so, if your resume isn't getting you the interviews you hope to land, well why not invest in a professional service with the experience and know how to fix it?

In my experience with a Top Resume writer, I can say that it's well worth it. They will fix your resume for now, as well as in the future, because you'll gain insights into how it should be done... if you want more responsiveness from prospective employers, get your resume professionally done by top resume.

I ordered the resume service on August 12.10 days later, I received a draft, filled with errors, that completely ignored the comments I entered in the questionnaire. After submitting comments asking them to correct errors - they actually made stuff up and added it to my resume - I was told that after 3 days had passed I could expect a response in another 1-3 days. Their sales material said I would have 2 opportunities for edits in a weeks time.

The company is terrible.

Great experience!
September 5, 2016

I found the process very straight forward and my writer to be very responsive. She accepted and responded quickly to feedback which allowed us to have a finished product in less than a week. I have recommended this service to friends and as of this post, at least one has already signed up!

The only downside is that I am still receiving marketing emails for the service that I already purchased. An email I received today had a better offer in it than the one I received but oh well.

Thanks! TopResume did very well!

Great service
September 3, 2016

I'm happy I signed up for the company. I got some interviews as well as a lot of companies asking for interviews on my Linkedin. Only thing there was a few times I needed to correct some spelling errors which isn't too big of a deal but there was enough that I had to do 4/5 stars for that reason. I loved the product and i'm happy with the end result.

TopResume is Top Notch!
September 3, 2016

TopResume and its editor, Katherine M., created a resume that cuts through all the embroidery the built up on my resume during thirty years of job seeking. It looks great, easily presents my skills and experience up front for a recruiter. It provides all the decision-making information needed in a few moments viewing.

Katherine was prompt, accurate and professional. She did a stellar job.

Having been at a company for over 13 years (before the layoff) I had certainly lost track of the modern day Applicant Tracking Systems and importance social media plays in finding a position with a QUALITY organization. TopResume took excellent care of me, my writer "Robin" knew exactly how to construct a well organized resume with the best facts to support my career interests. What a huge relief!

If you are not getting the results or feedback you are looking for from employers than I highly suggest this service. My Resume writer included me in the process and took all my suggestions in consideration. She did an excellent job highlighting my skills and experience. I will definitely be recommending this service to any and everyone looking for a better opportunity. My interviews increased tremendously since using my new resume and cover letter. I could not be satisfied with the results.

I was impressed with TopResume's service. I opted for the resume & cover letter service, and my writer did a great job crafting a resume catered to my needs. It took a few days to receive the resume, which was not a problem. The first draft of the cover letter had a minor typo that I noticed and fixed. Other than that, I was very happy with the results, and I'm hoping the new resume and cover letter lead to many new leads in the future!

They took my resume, which I had though was pretty good, and improved it. The formatting made a big difference as did the elimination of non-critical info. Nice job

When you think your resume is top notch - think again. Have TopResume do a free analysis of your resume and let them show you what companies are really seeing. In less than a week - my resume was revamped, I got a powerful cover letter generic for all positions and a new linked in profile. Don't waste your time thinking you can create a great resume - for the price - TopResume is professional - attentive and will knock your socks off with the product they deliver!
