I received assistance from Ian who contacted me and responded to my questions and comments well within 24 hours for each contact. He provided 2 drafts and requested feedback, altering the draft and offering suggestions along the way. I appreciated the personal and professional service and I am left with a streamlined and high quality resume and cover letter to assist in my job search.

I paid the fee for a resume and a cover letter. The resume and cover letter technician emailed asking several questions that I was able to provide complete information. However the first draft of both the resume and cover letter was not close to what I felt was what I could present to a potential employer and didnt provide a complete positive view for what my total experience was. I was very disappointed. However, I emailed them with my disappointment and included my view for what I felt was not clearly and positively explanatory to a potential employer and they assigned a new technician. This person took a bit of time emailed some questions to me for which I provided answers to and come up with a different resume that was Exactly and Precisely what I felt was a complete and positive view of my total employment experience [in a very positive light]. I feel with communication, a TopResume technician can understand a persons particularity for what they feel their customer wants and needs to complete their goal for top employment.

After months of struggling with attempts to update my resume and re-direct the focus, I decided to send my resume to TopResume for a free critique. The feedback was spot-on and I immediately felt I could trust them with a re-write of my resume. Their writer assigned to my resume asked very detailed questions, was very quick to respond, and I believe captured the focus I wanted and really enhanced my work history to present the picture I wanted. The cover letter was written so that I could direct focus to the exact position I was pursuing. All-in-all I would highly recommend TopResume to anyone struggling with their resume. I have gone ahead and also hired them, using the same writer, to update my LinkedIn page.

This company did work with me via e-mail to re-write the resume that I felt was already pretty good. However, they showed me that it could be written in a better format that better described my career history instead of my repeating line items. They also did a rewrite of my Linked In profile to allow me to be "found" under more searches. After just 2 weeks I have seen an increase in my resume reviews and have started getting interview calls.

I really appreciated the initial cotact and the free resume review that I received. It was because of that review, I saw where I needed to improve on my resume, but really didn't have time, which is why I paid TopResume.com to re-do my Resume. I chose the Resune and Cover-Letter package, which I have found useful in some situations and the cover-letter can be customized accordingly. Furthermore, I like the fact that the people at TopResume.com are still there after the sale for support. As an example, I sent an email to them just asking how long the files they create (which they actually email to you initially) will reside on their servers just in case I need to re-download them. I was told approximately a year. But anyway, like I said, it is nice to know that they are still there until after the sale.

Well worth my Money
January 3, 2017

I paid for the cover letter and resume service and my resume writer did a great job conveying what I wanted to showcase in terms of my skills and strengths in my resume. I was happy and impressed. It was a big improvement from my original resume. Everything that I wanted to say to an employer about why they should look at me was on point. Had a little issue with some of the job descriptions being placed at the wrong spot, but luckily I was able to catch those things. Any changes I wanted to make after my first draft was done and my resume write was aware of those changes. Communication through email was helpful. My resume writer got back to me quickly and listened to what I wanted to portray in my resume. I would recommend this service.

I've looked at many paid sites for resume writing and passed them all up. For one thing, I can get assistance for free at my local job placement center, and through the military for nothing too. The biggest hang-up is that I've created what I thought was a really good baseline resume which I tailored to each particular job opening, and I'm hardly getting any hits, especially on the federal side of things. TopResume gave me a free review which was eye opening in that they hit the nail right on the head with how I have been off target. It made sense to me to have a professional help me get on track.
If you do go in for this idea, make sure to provide your writer with everything you can (resume, curriculum vitae, USAJobs resume, Linkedin resume, etc.) to give the writer the best picture. The writer will take as many drafts as necessary to get it right -- that's what's great about this & you get documents that are editable in the end so you can change them to suit the job opening. Resume, cover letter, and linkedin resume.

I was very impressed with the work produced by Top Resume. My resume was outdated and boring and they managed to turn it around. My resume now is updated and easy to read. The final product looks very professional, well written and polished. I was quite skeptical but recommend using Top Resume to update your resume.

Amazing!
January 1, 2017

I literally thought I had my whole career accounted for in my 3 page resume. Little did I know that I had no idea how to illustrate and acknowledge all of my accomplishments the way employers are searching for them.

TopResume was the best money I ever spent and I found my dream job and didn't lose a penny versus what I used to make. I am amazed at what Matthew at TopResume did to give me a championship look and an amazing cover letter.

Highly recommended.

I would love to share my experience with my new resume:

I got lay off on the job I had previously for 5 years, and that is when we were finishing the final draft of my resume with TopResume.

Once I got it, I spammed the internet with it. It started to get a lot of traction and I got calls every single day. Sometimes like 3 contacts a day from the industry.

I got 2 interviews on the Education industry to become a full-time faculty, and I was very close on both, where I compete with people with PhD's and more than 10 years on the field.

2 weeks after begin searching I got an interview at CIBC, one of the 4 largest banks in Canada, and got the job that same week. It has been 5 weeks so far and I love it. I can't express my gratitude enough for helping me getting my profile fixed to be able to land the interview.

Thank you Julie, and thanks to the TopResume team on getting me hooked with Julie. She is fantastic, super responsive and she needs a raise starting today.: p

I'm an advocate of your services and I have been promoting them any time I have the chance.

Thank you again, and will contact you soon for further for updating my resume when it grows and look hideous again.

Worth the investment

Looking for work is hard enough, if it's been some time since you have been in the market you owe it to your self to work with TopResume. You work with an individual knowledgeable in your field to create a document you will be proud to use. The service is fast and professional. I would give 10 stars if possible.
