TopResume

The person I was assigned to was polite and pleasant. That has been the only positive thing I can say. Now that $400 is gone, I have some tips for my resume, my cover letter, and some very limited tips for my LinkedIn profile. None have produced any measurable change, which will invoke their "60 day warranty", which gets you another set of tips on your resume. They DO NOT rewrite your resume. They offer some changes which have little overall effect. They DO NOT rewrite your cover letter. Again, the same. And the LI profile tips are of no use whatsoever. Very disappointed. Investigate the five star reviews for fraud, or check to see if they are people that have no real career behind them, or have no resume writing skills. I have received better resume tips in FREE seminars put on by people who care about the desperate folks that have been put in the job search position through no fault of their own, Christian based focus groups and job fairs. Save your money.

I was looking for job opportunities when I got the chance to get my resume reviewed for free by Top Resume. Emily G. Did a great job pointing out many things on it. She gave me a different perspective and pretty much gave me the employers point of view which it was not what I expected. I really appreciate her feedback and was able to send back some questions. English is not my native language so I took her feedback serious. I would definitely recommend.

I bought the executive package which included cover letter, resume, Linkedin profile and posting service that sent my resume to close to a hundred different sites. It was pricey, but well worth it. My reviewer worked closely with me over the course of a week. She was willing to work around my schedule and always replied to my revisions in a timely manner. The revisions kept me involved in the process and I felt it was very collaborative. In short she was awesome. I've worked with other resume companies before, but this is the first time I am happy with the level of work.

My only regret is not getting this service sooner. I would highly recommend! Just be prepared to make use of the revisions (if you purchase additional revisions). That's what makes TopResume better.

The same day I submitted my resume I was sent a revision, it was mainly just a rework of the layout and grammar, but they did do an exceptional job rewriting my objective/qualifications section and "bragging" for me. My cover letter was written very well, also, I have already applied for jobs and got 2 inquires. The only slight negative would be that the layouts are bland being that I am in a design field and they only give you 7 days for 2 re-writes.

I WISH someone had told me not to go with this agency when i signed up for their $189 package. The person working on my resume took days to respond to a point where our revision period was already over. Further, everything wrote on my resume was misleading when i already gave the facts of my current situation. You could tell it was rushed and the person working on my CV and resume didn't even bother reading through the questionnaire that i answered. I have to do the whole thing all over again. Worst money i ever spent. Will never recommend them to anyone.

Probably could have reviewed all publicly available resources for a better understanding of the client as a whole.
For instance, from facebook it could be gleaned that I am a family man and family is important to me, which might change types of wording that would be use or possibly emphasis.
From my linked in profile you could see the progression of job titles throughout the years, but never reviewed the entire LinkedIn profile.

I am moving from one field of work to another after many years as a teacher. I realized I was not even getting looked at due to the way my old teaching resume was written. I had a few jobs I wanted to apply for and needed help quickly. I clicked on the free critique and what I was afraid of was confirmed. I quickly jumped in with both feet and asked for help in rewriting my resume and cover letter.
Prior to using TopResume, I was getting no interviews or any communication. I have applied to 3 places since and had 1 interview so far. Patrick was my assigned writer and did a great job of conveying the best parts of me. The only down fall is not being able to talk with them on the phone. It was hard to communicate my concerns and have them understood at times. But we got there after several revisions.
