When I first sent my resume to TopResume I did not think I was going to get such a detailed feedback from it. I was wrong because they exceeded my expectations. Now, I'm rephrasing my resume keeping in mind all the great feedback and hopefully land a better job. Very pleased with TopResume.
Creating a resume has been a challenge for me ever since. After finally deciding to get help creating my resume, TopResume did not disappoint. I was skeptical at first that they'll create an impressive resume out of the draft that I sent. Thank you so much for your help. I now have a resume that will potentially land me a great job in my career. Special thanks to the executive writer that worked with me. Also, communicating with my writer was easy and the response time was prompt that's why we finished the work right before the deadline.
Quick, Easy, and Effective... now I hope to land that career I've been waiting for.
The information provided was very useful to identify the weakness in my Resume.
The lack of communication when I made email requests to my writer was astounding. Not only were simple requests to my questionable first draft completed ignored (how hard is it to change a font?!), I felt they did not really understand my field. Much of my resume felt cut-and-pasted. I also called - CONSTANTLY - asking for more information only to be told lies (that the writers work weekends and that included 2-day turn arounds on Saturday or Sunday. Of course, they backtracked when I asked again on Monday. I told them to pull the call so they could eat their own words). Days, sometimes up to 4, would go by without any response from my writer. When I asked if I could speak with her, explaining we could wrap all this up in 15 minutes over a phone call, I was told it would be another $50.00. Top Resume is like the date from hell. They expect you to keep throwing money at them to get them to shut up. Of course, they also sent me an email stating my file was closed even before the end of the day it was actually going to close, thereby cutting off any promised time to make changes - not that I was going to. This company is a joke.
I had bought the services of writing my resume and linked in profile from TopResume and what happened after is really amazed me and made me wonder how such company still in business! First i have to followup with them to get my first resume draft and after they finished, i waited for my linked in profile from them and it turns out it is mostly a copy and paste from your resume after adding letter 'I'! I told them it is no acceptable but they never replied to me and when i got fed up I called them and their customer service agent said that the order is closed and basically take whatever we gave you!
Horrible company try you best to stay away from them
Do your research. I wasn't as lucky as some. I called before placing my order to ensure their writers had worked with individuals in the Oil & Gas industry. When I received my first draft it looked like a cut and paste of the resume I submitted for review.
To get a better idea of what you'll receive look at some of the Resume examples on the bottom of the TopResume web page. The template used is generic and they shovel your information in where it seems to fit. Then its up to you to provide feed back over and over again with the hope you'll finally receive a resume specifically tailored for you. Remember, at the end of the review process you will have done all the work. What a great marketing twist.
My writer (Adel R.) was clueless about the Oil and Gas Industry most likely from India. No legal address for TopResume another big red flag. When they offer you 30% of their services there's a reason for it. I purchased the Executive Priority package and never received the LinkedIn re-write. Shame on me
There are several good Resume writing services out there, this isn't one of them. Do your research!
I bought the complete package ( resume+ linkedin+ coaching interview + Thank you letter). This package is really worth. I am already receiving more interview invitations.
Made me realise how ineffective my resume was, times change but my resume had stayed the same!
I felt I was listened to by my writer who did a great job weaving together the various aspects of my skill set. She was patient and kind. I was left with a professional resume that could pass the ATS filters, yet be modified for any job I applied for. The cover letter can also be edited to reflect the job applied for and gave a little bit more info about me and what I have to offer. As I have a background in art and design, this writer was able to write about that world with no awkwardness whatsoever and hilighted better than I could myself, just what it was that made my work special. I can't thank her enough.
Andy was very good to work with. And very patient with my queries.
It was really awesome when I reviewed my resume, I cannot believed it... yes, I have done all what it says!
This was very helpful! Used the advice to update my resume.
All I needed was an updated resume, with the correct vocabulary that is a constant change in a fast paced world!
Thank you!
I would highly recommend this resume service if you are mid-late career and need a brush up. They were able to clearly articulate and highlight my accomplishments and not simply chronological titles and basic role info. Well done and in less than a week my resume is getting attention!
Tanner removed obstacles related to ageism and created compelling statements/ branding.
My resume has been greatly improved and working with my resume writer was a wonderful experience.
Good service. Happy. Good service. Happy. Good service. Happy.
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.

Answer: Don't waste your money. All of these "reviews" are probably fake. I actually paid them $189 and never even got a usable resume. Find a better company. These guys are crooks!
