The service I received was adequate if you are new to the job market and never had a professional job or resume before. However, it seemed like the resume came from a high school student proofreader instead of someone with experience marketing job candidates. I started off my resume with a great format that was unique and eye-catching but my writer changed the format to their boring, cookie cutter, "mandatory template". The writer added some vague adjectives--organized, hard working, creative, etc. to the summary. I am not a professional resume writer (and either is TopResume it seems) but I do know from experience in the job market that vague unproven statements and adjectives do nothing to market me to my next employer. I was lured into ordering a resume for $200 to have it keyword optimized. All unsolicited advertisements praised TopResume's ability to do this. However, the writer seemed to know nothing about this very basic promise. Don't waste your time with this service. Read some resume books and websites. Develop your own material with high impact action verbs. The extra time you spend doing your resume yourself will pay off when you interview. Interviewers can tell when your resume was written by someone else. Those resumes say things like "hardworking and organized".

I contacted TopResume to re-write my resume and help me with a cover letter I could modify for the various positions for which I was applying. TopResume assigned me a writer who helped me draw on the many skills I had, which my previous resume failed to show. Once Mrs Pam was assigned to me, she was attentive and gently guided me through constructing a professional resume that covered in a very concise and professional way all my positions. My friends who saw my resume afterwards, wondered if i wrote it on my own and asked info about TopResume. I am now proud to utilize my re-vamped resume and can quickly modify the cover letter TopResume did for me. I am glad I came across this company and spent the money for this well-needed service. Mrs Pam, thank you!

I'm a mid/senior professional with >15 work experience, and I bought the mid-level service from this company. The writer reformatted my CV (1star) which makes me wonder how may other people will have the exact same format. And she rewrote bids and pieces by using thesaurus extensively (2nd star). I seriously question the writer's use of common sense as the documents didn't make sense afterwards. And she didn't ask questions but rather wrote up things which was useless. I seriously doubt this company's "interview guarantee". I'm relieved I didn't buy the LinkedIn service.

I received the resume critique and had a few questions. All the emails they send let you know they are here to answer any question you have. When I actually replied with a few questions I received a bot response that did not answer any questions. They might do good work, but I am not going to spend $350 if they can't even have a real person answer my inquiries. To me this is an indication the work will not be as personalized as they claim.

I contacted TopResume to re-write my resume and help me with a cover letter I could modify for the various positions for which I was applying. I have been a professional in a highly regarded industry for almost 20 years and have recently shifted to another industry. It is difficult to convey to employers that you still have highly transferable skills and I was not getting interviews. TopResume assigned me a writer who helped me draw on the many skills I had, including a necessary skill that my old resume failed to even show. Once Greg was assigned to me, he was attentive and gently told me that many of my old positions weren't relevant. I am now proud to utilize my re-vamped resume and can quickly modify the cover letter TopResume did for me. I am glad I came across this company and spent the money for this well-needed service.

After posting my own resume on dozens of sites with little response, I decided to give TopResume a shot. I was paired with a writer within a few days, received consistent communication about the process, and I approved the draft of both resume and cover letter after only one revision.

I immediately received an influx of job notifications, interest and interviews -- it felt like magic. The missing pieces from my resume (keywords, SEO, etc.) were filled in, and my existing experience suddenly became accessible to the right people.

If you're even slightly considering this service, take the plunge -- it's absolutely, 100% worth it!

I can't express enough how important it is to let someone who knows what hiring managers do or are looking for in a resume these days. Working with Top Resume was easy to work with and the timeline was flexible. I questioned some things about my self created resume I thought should be included in the new and was quickly educated as to why I should not and also as to what I should do. It makes sense to go to a professional and I would also recommend using their Linked-In service as well, it gives you a well rounded professional presents which gives you an edge over another's to land the job you're looking for.
