“Seamless process”

Ellissa A.
7/27/24

I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume. I was worried that it would be difficult for my writer to create a cohesive whole, but Allen did a phenomenal job. Drafts were sent quickly, he was so communicative and helpful, and we completed the process by draft 2 and ahead of schedule. I highly recommend this service.

“Absolutely NOT worth the money”

Heather C.
11/24/24

Received the services I purchased in the correct timeline. However, the format was not compatible for Apple devices despite my requesting that a universal format be utilized. Most significantly, I've had very negative feedback from recruiters and hiring managers with the content of my new resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn page. Even people I've worked with say they don't adequately communicate my skills and experience. The company offers no way to request a partial or full refund or contact them in any way. I posted this review on other review sites as well. The company contacted me to correct the issues by assigning a different person to rewrite the documents. Having no trust in the value of wasting additional time and effort working with someone else utilizing the same methods as the first representative, I requested a refund. The company refused to refund my money. So, I've wasted time, money, and still have useless documents. Please don't utilize this organization.

The result looks like a second grader wrote it. And doesn't it say no results they will rewrite it? Nope. They want to charge another $50.00 to rewrite it. So disappointed!

The initial resume writing was ok. But then the review was very bad and the second review had basically no changes.
I e-mailed them and filled out the feedback page with no response

.. But I didn't ask you to praise me,
I asked you to review my resume and as much as I would like to call you out, I can't because the fault for not being able to explain what i do, how great i really am and how every boss in the world would benefit greatly from having ME as an employee, is entirely on me. Thank you for being honest and thank you for NOT doing what I wanted, but what I needed!

I found this service after applying for a job where a rep contacting me telling me that my resume looked poor. I wasn't having trouble getting interviews before but I wanted some advice, I mean why not? It took a week for them to send the first draft and another client's name and contact information was on top of my resume (my correct contact was on my initial resume and I had to enter it when submitting on the TopResume site), one of my past company's name was spelled wrong (was not wrong on my original resume) and I felt it was extremely repetitive and hard to read, as if the editor had a thesaurus in hand and was just substituting my verbiage for longer words, the resume was also two pages and I only have a little over two years of work experience so the second page was very unnecessary.
Pros: The new format was nice and I liked some of the tips but I am far from recommending this to others. I am still waiting for my first draft back and its been 8 days at this point and I have not received any update. I have already made the necessary edits and have been applying for jobs as I cannot wait for this service to respond.
