TopResume

As an executive recruiter I see a lot of resumes. Many really bad. After your services pointed out key things to me for mine and then seeing the final draft I was highly impressed. I will recommend you to everyone now.

TopResume did for me exactly as they promised. My final resume looks great and the updated LinkedIn content was outstanding.

I am getting more positive job feedback thanks to TopResume's work.

Thanks!

Clementine was so helpful... and patient... in crafting my best resume yet! She gently steered me from including irrelevant information. I'm very pleased with the final version. Money very well spent! Thank you!

Was very pleased with my resumes writer. We rewrote the resume, LinkedIn profile and developed a lovely cover letter. Getting responses to the rewrite, but no new job as of yet.

After my first review - where I received great service it went down hill from there, I have applied for some 40+ position with out even getting an interview over the past almost 12 month.
I sent an email requesting a refund as per what they promised on there website, I have had no reply and they have not contacted me.
Use them if you would like to throw good money after bad!

Absolute standard. No eye-catching layout at all. Extremely boring to read. Standard phrases. Rather expensive.

My job application was for a specific company. This company was not mentioned with one word, nor was why it would be of interest to me. Nothing! And, we are talking about Red Bull. Surely they could have written some sentence to why I want to work there.
Indeed, a total rip off!

Don't use them! I will never again. There are so much better writers around!

I came back to Top Resume having had great experiences in the past. This one, however, will be my last. Trying to communicate and be on the same page with my writer was really frustrating. I came away with an overall sense that she just didn't care. Even after agreeing to a written deadline, they moved it up two days and closed my case without my approval of the final draft. I called customer service and asked for a new writer and 24 hours to finish changes, but they would not accommodate. I am now forced to dispute charges for an incomplete resume on my credit card if I want resolution. Save yourself time, money, and disappointment in the final product. Use someone you can actually meet with over the phone at least once. Top Resume uses email only and if you get a writer who is not a great communicator, your chances of having a good final product or overall experience are slim.

TopResume review

Super frustrating experience. I got generic intro messages from multiple writers and my resume was packed with spelling and grammatical errors. I had to have my project reassigned multiple times (which takes nearly a week each time).

It's now been over 3 weeks and I still don't have a comprehensive resume/cover letter to send out.

So disappointing, being that this company came highly recommended - and at nearly $300, it's probably smarter to just invest your hard-earned money elsewhere with a local company.

To sum it up, Quality Control is non-existent. The resumes are either written by ESL contractors or an automatic computer program. Maybe they were "Top" quality at one point in time, but not anymore.

Communication is also woeful. Although the company tries to make things right, it's like jumping through hoops to be clearly understood. They need to hire a few folks on the front lines who speak American English as a first language (or fluently), and check quality before orders go out.

Great advice - not only did they point out areas that needed improvement, they provided examples for ways I could move forward. Also, the ATS test was incredibly valuable.

They give you resume writers that have 0 knowledge of the medical or public health fields. They put useless information about product placement and marketplace analysis into your resume even when you ask them to remove it because it's false, incorrect, and not relevant. A 5th grade wrote the clover letter which wasn't written in complete sentences. They do not honor their guarantee. I am a hiring manager and would laugh at the resume they created if someone tried to apply for an entry level position with what they provided. I had to completely overhaul everything they gave me. Waste of time and money

You'd be better off going on Fiverr and hiring one of their top-rated folks for $100 or less. My resume/cover letter were full of grammatical mistakes, awkward sentence structures, and over-exaggerations (aka lies) about my qualifications and skills. Lots of "word salad." It quickly became apparent to me that I was dealing with a non-native English speaker who also had no real knowledge of my field of work. Also the writer was being lazy and not expanding on any jobs older than 8 years. When I asked her about it, she said it was to cover up my "advanced age." Like, excuse me, I'm early 40s, that's typically considered career prime, not "advanced." I will not be using my documents from this company, so it's essentially money down the toilet and a hard lesson learned. Don't do it!

Great resume writing service. There are no phone calls, if you would like them, pay extra. Had unlimited texting with the writer. Keep in mind, all transactions must be within 7 days, though they can make an exception. They wrote a fantastic Resume, Cover Letter, and LinkedIn texts. Great service for the price. Highly recommend TopResume.

I was having trouble getting my message through. Ask TR for a free review. Results were clear that my resume needed more work. Allison did an excellent re-crafting my document. It looks and reads very tell. Tells my story fine. Would recommend TP to friends.

Inexperienced writers, not knowledgeable about industry they claim to be aligned to. Use inappropriate terminology, repetitive and too much meaningless jargon. Do not recommend unless your coming out of college or have no more than a couple years of experience.

I loved the input in a very professional and direct manner on my resume. It is great to know this service has credible people who look at hundreds to thousands of resumes each year and know the current trends.

Thank you so much for your help!

I've purchased the Executive Plan on a Sunday night, was matched with a writer within an hour and around Monday mid-day got the first draft. It took only 3 iterations of questions and adjustments to come to the final results and it was all done until Wednesday noon.

Final resume looked highly professional, nicely organized, focused on important details.

As a minor setback I can mention the Executive Plan said they will reorganize my LinkedIn profile as well, but instead I've received guidelines how to do it myself. The guidelines were personalized to my specific profile with text from my professional experience, so it's probably a security related decision to not ask for any credentials and direct update.

In general I'm highly satisfied, would recommend their services to anyone.

Overall a good experience and my resume is definitely much improved.

My one challenge was working with someone overseas which made timing of communication and availability for our phone consultation less than ideal.

Working with TopResume and my contact Barbara was an excellent experience. They made it easy to work with them and the results were outstanding! Upon completion, I have received glowing reviews from recruiters.

Extended delay before writer assigned. Be prepared to work hard, as is interactive, collaborative process, with writer not necessarily familiar with your field or career. Writer was efficient and knowledgeable concerning constructing the products purchased (resume and cover letter) and offered a couple of different formatting options. Over-priced for the amount of work one has to do oneself to contribute towards desired outcome. And, all based on e-mail correspondence. No person-to-person telephone conversation allowed. Nice writer. Good end product.

Stay clear! Total waste of my time & money. As many other users have stated below ( see all the 1 star reviews) the time table presented was never met, the writer I was matched up with did not know my industry, misspelled words and used UK English spelling for others, made grammatical errors and used run on sentences etc, etc... over all a week after my comments I finally got a generic email with a second version as bad as the first. This was the Executive package! Had to find another service. Customer service informed me that the service is "non refundable" so make sure you read all the reviews before you find yourself in our shoes... don't just walk away, run!

I have never been taught how to write a good resume or gotten any pointers so this is perfect for people like me. I was surprised to get detailed notes and insight, never having used this before. It's worth it, you cant just "wing it" on your resume. They really help you advertise yourself better.

I purchased a package with "satisfaction guaranteed" from a "top 10% writer" but after working with two writers, I've yet to get a product that is reflective of someone who puts much experience or puts much though into their product. Not only are my very specific, but simple, requests completely ignored, the products have grammatical and technical errors. Beyond this, they don't reflect a knowledge of the area I work in or my personal experience at all. This is beyond frustrating. The company will refuse a refund and instead just shuffle you off to another person who can't write a decent, thoughtful resume indefinitely until you realize that it's a hopeless case and you might as well have flushed the money down the toilet and now you're just wasting your time too with nothing but frustration to show for it.

Ordered a 48 hour turn around "premium package" job. Not sure if that was the title. Included a cover letter, resume, LinkedIn, phone-call etc.

After a week with no updates they refunded my rush charge.

A day or two later i get a resume that i have to do so many basic grammatical corrections on, I felt as though i was editing a high school English paper.

They say they would assign me a new writer and turn it around within a few business days, gave me a specific date and time for the completion.

That date came and went. Barely an apology when i called to complain, "Do you want a refund or do you want to keep waiting?" was their response.

Will never refer this service to anyone.
