TopResume

In the process of applying for jobs, I was asked if I wanted to have my CV reviewed by TopResume. Not thinking much of it, I said "sure, why not." A few days later I received exhaustive and meaningful feedback on why my resume was not getting noticed. Coming from academia, I've never really had to put together an industry resume and now know where my short-comings are. I can't express how surprised I was to get such good, personalized information for free!

Recently, I began searching for a new job. I updated my resume and submitted it to several companies expecting them to contact me immediately. A few weeks went by. No response. TopResume offered to critique my resume for free in an effort to identify ways that I could improve it. After reviewing their suggestions, I allowed them to modify my resume accordingly. Complete transformation! The format and content was made dramatically different. I applied to jobs with my updated resume and obtained two interviews within a week. The recruiters mentioned how impressed they were with my resume's appearance. TopResume is the primary reason why my opportunities have increased and I'm very thankful for that.

I entered with trepidation having used an in-person service years ago and paid way too much for way too little. I opted for just the Resume (no online consultation). The online response is concise and you receive benchmarks every step of the way through the process. So besides being timely as promised I then received a resume that blew me away. Besides the cutting edge formatting the verbiage and descriptions were like looking at a much better candidate that what I thought was a good job on my own. I found this service to be a great value and I just signed my offer letter for my new position (paying much better) today!

This is a scam, writers are not reading any supporting documents, and everything from my previous CV was just copy pasted into a new format, with a few added spelling errors.

The cover letter I received stated that I was a specialist on aeronautics, although I have never worked with anything even remotely related - i work with policy research. It was clear that it was a standard format copied from someone else, withs some of my CV achievements added in bullet point format.

If you have done a degree in english, or have previously worked in an english speaking industry and you are not a graduate. I can guarantee you will be very disappointed. Me and five colleagues have all dried this service, all with the same results.

Please also beware of the writer Julie W. She is rude, difficult to work with, and unwilling to take on feedback.
