“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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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 person reviewing thought I should include tasks that made a difference for the company but that's not the kind of position I had.

I also read a lot of reviews before purchasing the service and I'd like to do my part in keeping people away! TopResume critiqued my resume for free. Upon reading the review, I agreed with the problems' or areas of improvement and decided to purchase the $147 service to improve my resume.

The turn around time was really long (over a week to assign a writer and another week for first draft) with no option of expedited service. Upon emailing and complaining about not receiving my resume, the writer finally replied with a huge mess of a first draft.
The formatting was inconsistent (some places are in italics, other areas belonging to the same category are not. The English was clunky! The BIGGEST ISSUE is that the problems' from the review are not addressed at all!. The writer didn't change any of my content. In addition, the writer omitted skills and experiences that are important mark my professional milestones. The resume was A NIGHTMARE: UNUSABLE AND WORSE THAN MY ORIGINAL FOR SURE!

I emailed my writer addressing my comments and the writer NEVER REPLIED!
I'm sure some people might have had okay experiences but all that praising is impossible. The administrative office is not existent and the physical address is fake! I'm sure some comments are paid comments.
