“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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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.

I really liked the documents I received. The only downside, is the average time for response. It took more than 48 hours to received documents back after I sent revisions back to the staff..

Very blunt, no sugar coating; that is fabulous. I love it because it's not about getting offended, but getting educated. I was highly educated by a highly educated professional.

It was very fast and my writer was very responsive. I am very happy I did this because I was pretty clueless about how to accurately portray my skills. My resume looks professional now.

I was very impressed by the speed and delivery of a very well written resume that encompassed my skills well and was written in a professional manner.

Reason I chose this business:

I saw an ad while on Indeed, and gave it a try, the fee for helping to write an updated resume was well worth it!

Wish I had seen the reviews before paying. Don't go by their free reviews. These people are no good. Their resume are no better than auto-generated, customer service no better than automated, policies are no better than scam.
You can write a better resume with an online template than their writers can do. My guess is that the writers are either amateurs or college grads at best. Have no sense of responsibility and insist on not doing background study or asking when in doubt. They don't even go over the material you send them.
I am an IT person and I can assure you that they are at-least not good for IT resume writing.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, if THEY FAIL to produce good resume in 3 attempts, YOU LOSE YOUR MONEY! SCAM SCAM SCAM...

The resume I created was not getting the attention I was hoping; however, after contacting TopResume and having them create a professional resume that would get me interviews I received a job offer a week after using the resume and cover letter and then a second job offer the second week.
