Resume writer entered information that was factually incorrect, formatted the resume incorrectly with typos, ignored 20 of 30 years of my career accomplishments, added bullets not related to position identified. Do not use this service.
Great job! My resume was not the greatest to begin with Issac worked his magic and made it look truly professional. I'm a satisfied customer and would recommend anyone that needs help with their resume.
I purchased the Executive Priority package - received my first draft of resume on time, and communication with Barbara P. Was pretty fluid for the most part - a few lags here and there, but nothing too big. Writer was a very personable. Tip: Make sure you develop your own content as best as you can before enlisting TopResume for assistance. They do a better job at re-arranging content and formatting. With that said, I am very satisfied with the end-product of my resume! As for Cover Letter and Linkedin profile - these were subpar.
Sometimes a fresh pair of eyes is all you need. I had shopped around at prices and felt TopResume was on the lower end. As far as service they were quick and easy to communicate with. Julianna asked me good questions and worked with the postings that I sent her. I'm very happy with the final result.
I was very excited when I saw the results of the free review - it was apparent that a very experienced person(s) reviewed my resume. As a result, I signed up for the 2 cover letters & resume package. I liked the first draft of the resume but upon closer review, have a lot of misgivings. The writer primarily used the past perfect tense which makes the resume wordy and awkward. Visually, it looks bland and uninteresting. The writer was pleasant but I don't think she had enough experience in my chosen field. The cover letters were fine until I looked more closely and saw the same issues regarding the use of past perfect tense. Maybe I'm wrong and the new resume will generate interviews over the next 60 days, otherwise I will be refunded, per their guarantee.
I have been looking for a job a for over 3 months now and hesitated initially to pay for a revision to my resume. When I finally signed up with Topresume the writer assigned to me (Terry) really captured the essence of my experience. On the day of my completed resume I sent it to my top job picks. They immediately contacted me for interviews and just today I had my second interview. This was a great investment!
I'm not sure that the first person assigned to my resume spoke English as a first language--she certainly had no command of the language or proper grammar. The resume was merely a list of key words in sentences that made no sense to an actual reader. She had no experience with my industry and was unresponsive to my queries. It's been assigned to a more senior person, but with little in the way of improvement and significant delays.
Honestly best decision I made when I started looking for new jobs. They're knowledgeable, honest, and very responsive. I emailed back and forth with my writer a lot and he was great.
I received about 5 interview requests after applying to jobs within a couple of weeks. Only went on one since I knew it was the company I wanted most and I got the job. If it weren't for TopResume rewriting my resume I don't know if I would have ever gotten recognized by them.
Highly recommended if you're looking for a career change or different job at a better company.
I engaged TopResume to rewrite my resume, LinkedIn profile and cover letter. Right after I engaged them, a storm took out my power for 2 days. They extended my time by 2 days to work on the resume to allow for the power outage without me even asking. My interaction with the writer was excellent. She was professional, friendly and prompt. After a few minor tweaks, I ended up with a very professional looking resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. I highly recommend TopResume.
I have to be honest this service is not what I expected. You have zero in site into my career path - none. Everything is very generic with very little originality. I have very little communication going days without any correspondence - then when I call customer service - I wait more days to here that my writer will "work on it this evening" then go days without any further contact.
I would like a refund. I might was well have done this my self. Will never work with your organization again. Please refund my money or failing that I'll contact my credit card company and place a stop payment on it. Very poor service. All sales and zero substance.
Was really dissapointed with the service and overall experience. Would give 0 if I could.
First off the writer did not seem to know anything about creating a linkedin page.
Basically took my resume and sent it back as is. Then told me to copy and paste in my linkedin profile. I objected and stated I wanted different than my resume... the whole point of hiring their services.
I was then sent the same text with very little and subtle changes. And now no recourse as contract states only 1 change/review of original text is allowed.
Complete waste of money...
I do not recommend!
Hi Julien, we apologize for any issues that may have occurred with your documents and would like to make it right for you. Please contact our Customer Care team at support@topresume.com so we can better assist you.
My experience with TopResume was really good. I came across their page through Monster.com and I always wanted to have my resume professionally re-written, but I decided against it due to money. Resume writing has drastically changed. Simple resume writing is not what it use to be so I decided to bite the bullet and give TopResume a try. My resume write name was Jodi and she was really nice. She communicated with me all the way through.
When I first looked at the results I said, "I could have done this". My wife's response was "well then why haven't you". She was right now matter how long I work on a rewrite it never looked as professional as what TopResume put together for me. I got the package that included the resume, a cover letter and changes to my linkedin page. The three are now in sync and I've received more call backs that I had with my old format.
I would recommend getting a professional to rewrite your resume because they aren't as emotional about it... and I would use TopResume again.
Waste of money. Angela W. Doesn't know how to write a resume for a graphic designer. I sent her links to jobs I wanted to apply for along with my portfolio, that's 99% comprised of projects I've done for my current employer. I let her know with every revision, that I wasn't happy. She would reply with a couple of changes within 5-10 minutes. Obviously not putting any thought into the changes. I choose this resume writing companies because they were highly rated, maybe for other careers, but not designers. That's $349 poorly spent.

I was surprised to see how quickly Batul responded and delivered on my request, subsequent questions and the final product. I would recommend having more phone engagements to help with sharing the perspective that comes from verbal interaction vs written.
Needed an immediate revision to both my resume and cover letter due to career change. I found TopResume and sent my resume to be evaluated. I am unemployed at the moment so I was glad to receive an email for a 35% discount for both CL and Resume revisions. My resume writer was a great communicator and followed up often when I had questions. It took 4 days to get the finished product and I was satisfied. Hopefully this will end my call back drought and will have new employment very soon.
I had the free resume review performed by *. There were some good points, but it was quite obvious that the initial review is just a sales pitch. I've had my resume reviewed by more than one service and got a lot better feedback that was quite honestly completely opposite from the suggestions provided. It is clear the first review comes back sounding like your resume is complete and total crap that NEEDS their services. It's smoke and mirrors.
TopResume is a scam unless your resume is for general labor, and why would you use this service then anyway.

My experience with TopResume was one that should be noted to everyone... I've been in my industry for +20 years and could not fathom someone writing my resume just by reading the resume I created and never meeting me, I was doubtful however, what an awesome experience and outcome! The resume they created fit my experience and personality perfectly. In addition, the cost was minimal in comparison of the professional resume you receive when TopResume is done!
Who knew my resume wasn't at its best all these years and how jobs I missed out on? It needed some fine tuning and my resume writer was very thorough. Just a year prior I had paid another "professional" to revamp it. Bad decision-- go with some that knows your profession and can match you with some that has gone resumes for your specific job. My first draft needed very little input from me for changes. The process a breeze!
In less than 24 hours that i submitted my information, this review helped me to not undersell my skills and taught me about how the new recruiting systems were messing up my old resume templates and losing opportunities.
Excellent service!
Answer: It depends, if you want to pay for a mediocre format riddled with errors that has the language equivalent of a high-schooler. You will end up paying $100 for something you could have sat down and done in an hour and a half.
Answer: Hi Carolyn, Thanks for asking! The process will begin with a questionnaire. If after you submit the questionnaire, the writer has follow-up questions, the writer will reach out.
Answer: Be careful with this company. They post 1000s of fake reviews to hide the real ones. Note that they do not post their phone number or address on the website. I had to file with the BBB to get a refund after never being contacted. This is a SCAM company - you are better off writing your own resume, trust me on this
Answer: You will not get your money refunded, no matter how bad the result is. I tried.
Answer: Because this company is a sham. Please do not waste your money. There are plenty of reputable services that you can use.
Answer: I second that, Alex! This service is a sham! I've been assigned 3 different writers and have received a subpar product back each time, written by someone who's first language is clearly not English. The best part, I paid $100+ for a "LinkedIn Rewrite" and this was where the writer copied and pasted their version of my resume into the boxes for LinkedIn. You've got to be kidding me... Don't waste your money!
Answer: I am on month two and still have not received a finalized document. Currently, I've gone through 3 different writers and still do not have a usable document. My original resume, cover letter and LinkedIn are far better products than what I've received from TopResume. If you are thinking of using this service, please PASS. It has been a tremendous waste of my resources: time and money. Best of luck to you.
