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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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

Do not use this company. I initially purchased a resume and a cover letter rewrite for over $200. Over the course of the next several weeks I received multiple drafts that were riddled with spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors, not to mention blatant factual inaccuracies (one of the writers assigned to me inserted an ability to speak French into my cover letter, a language I never claimed to know). When trying to deal with TopResume customer service, I was delayed for over a week and lied to. I was told that due to my issues I was eligible for a full refund, then informed several days later that I would be receiving only a 30% refund or that I had the choice of taking a chance on yet another writer (I had gone through two writers at that point). This company promises a professionally-written resume written by experts that know your industry. I firmly believe that my resume was done by someone that has very little understanding of the English language itself, much less someone who understands what hiring managers in my industry look for. After reviewing the work that I received from TopResume with an independent hiring manager, I was informed that neither of the drafts I received would even pass the automatic elimination process, due to the abundance of errors and the lack of industry-specific key terms.

If you don't want to waste your money, don't give it to this company. They will not fully reimburse you no matter how poor the product that you receive is or how many errors it has. The work you will receive can be done far more cheaply (and more professionally) by a resource you can find on Fiverr.

If I could, I would give TopResume a 0 rating. My husband purchased their executive package and was expecting a top of the line resume. After receiving the first draft, not impressed is an understatement. He provided feedback to the writer regarding what he was looking for, even sent my resume as an example, and all she returned as a reformatted version of the original draft. Not confident that another revision would be any better, he contacted TopResume with his concerns and requested a refund. TopResume replied saying they do not offer a refund, but that they would assign a new writer, my husband declined. TopResume also states that they will do multiple revisions until he is satisfied, however in an email he received, it was stated that only two revisions would be provided. My husband has disputed this through his credit card company and will also contact an attorney if TopResume refuses to provide a refund for a service that was not rendered as advertised, which is FALSE ADVERTISING! CONSUMERS BEWARE!

Hi Landy,

I'm sorry to hear about your husband's experience. Although we mention two revisions in our emails, in certain cases, we offer additional revisions to ensure customer satisfaction.
