“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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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 company delivered on their promise of response time. My writer contacted me quickly and had a finished product to me within a few hours.

Never wrote anything and won't give a refund. Terrible company. Katie Warren is a liar so don't trust her or this company.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t. Go somewhere else.

I was paired with a "resume expert" who was pretty obviously an underpaid/exploited gig worker who had zero experience writing anything professionally. They returned a draft of my resume that was SIGNIFICANTLY worse than the one I wrote myself, riddled with typos, missing punctuation, and completely unintelligible language. It was super obvious that they had taken several sentences I had originally written, rearranged the words haphazardly, and used a thesaurus to replace words with synonyms that didn't make sense in context, resulting in what was basically nonsensical word salad. I was offered the chance to ask for edits, but realized that the entire thing was so completely unusable that I was basically paying THEM so that I could rewrite the ENTIRE THING by myself again. I had more edits than usable content. I paid for something "professionally written" and what they sent back was completely embarrassing garbage. I eventually complained enough to enough people that I got a 50% refund, which still feels like a slap in the face.

I had a great experience! Very helpful, quick to respond, and did a fabulous job on my resume! I will use them again if I need too in the future!

Reason I chose this business:

I was not having any luck with getting interviews and felt it was because of my resume. I had updated it multiple times but never seemed good enough. A friend spoke very highly of Top Resume so I decided to give it a try.

Prior to using Topresume, I received no phone calls or interviews. But just two days after using them, I received three phone calls and interviews. I had interview today and i am having another one next week. Topresume try to make sure your money is well invested. Fellows, you don't know, you don't have to trust this review. But, try Topresume, if it doesn't change anything, come back and counteract my review.

Check out what happened to me. I applied to this company a month ago for this position, but they never even bothered alerting me they recieved my application. Then the day I recieved my draft copy, I re-sent my resume to them at 1am and by 10am, the same morning, I received this email...

Hi xxxxx, I hope your day is going well. I am working on a assignment with a national company headquartered here in xxxxx to locate a xxxxxx (Full-time position)! You have a very impressive background and was hoping you might know someone that would be interested. Would you be curious to discuss and if so, what's a great number to call please?

Best Regards
Xxxxx.
