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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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

Could not be happier. Not many words needed; the value was immense. If you are on the fence about using this firm, take the plunge.

Scam scam scam. They don't refund your money even if you didn't get any service. The "writer" assigned was like on drugs, didn't make sense.

I feel that the language used was a little strong for a public educator. However, it was well written and will get the job done.

The first writer that was assigned to my project provided me a first draft, and in her email stated that the resume was "ready to begin posting on job boards or sending to potential employers". A brief review showed grammatical errors, editing errors, and even misspelled words (what kind of professional writer doesn't spell check). I mentioned my concerns and asked for a revision, which was provided with a whole new set of mistakes, this time including a unfinished sentence. I must have won the lottery. I pointed the mistakes out and the writer mentioned that she mistakenly sent the wrong file, which I find really hard to believe. Nonetheless, she proceeded with sending me what was supposedly the correct file, and sadly it was the same document. At this point I contacted customer support, who suggested I work with a new writer, to which I agreed. Unfortunately I encountered the same issues with each draft that the new writer submitted to me as well, again even including misspelled words. I contacted customer support about a refund and they said that their product is intangible and thus they will not provide a refund.

Don't take my word for it, look here: https://www.scamguard.com/topresumecom/

UPDATE 11/10 - Yes, they are assisting by requesting that I continue to put my job hunt on hold to work with yet another writer. I just want my money back at this point, but TR will not oblige with my request even after admitting that the product that they provided me does not meet their quality standards.

UPDATE 11/13 - TR has stepped up and done the right thing in providing me a full refund. Although this process was much more painful than it had to be, I appreciate them finally accepting culpability.

Tip for consumers:
Look elsewhere. There are definitely better options.
