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.

Working with Barbara and the rest of the TopResume team has been a pleasure. From the beginning I've been engaged about my accomplishments, had a fantastic exchange of dialog on changes and edits, questions and comments. The resume, profile, and cover letter are all very professional and are clearly tailored to my needs and accurately express my experience and message. I would use TopResume again and recommend them to everyone that needs some additional polishing of their professional brand.

TopResume did a great job of organizing and cleaning up my existing resume. There were some edit errors however after I pointed those out they were corrected. The end product looks great and I am very pleased with my new professional resume.

Valuable and Worthwhile!
December 31, 2016

I had an excellent experience with Top Resume! The platform involves answering questions in detail and made it really easy to describe my skills and accomplishments. I haven't had a conventional job history, I've worked in diverse roles and my previous resume didn't offer a story, it was just a bullet list of duties at each one. The writer was able to refine my experience and the end result appears more fluid and explanatory - and interesting! I am very pleased with the resume and cover letter. If you're considering whether or not to take advantage of this service, consider this: within two weeks of putting it online, I was contacted for interviews with 2 companies and miraculously received a job offer and begin a new chapter for the new year! I'm incredulous at the response! The key words my writer used got me noticed immediately and I couldn't be happier with the service!

A necessary upgrade
December 30, 2016

I used their service as I had not updated my resume in about 8 years and I'd never had it reviewed by a professional. Sign up was easy and due to a discount, I chose the package with letters and a LinkedIn review. The return service was regularly prompt. I think they may have focused a bit too much on general finance and less on some of my lending background. But over all they did a great job enhancing my profile. And have the letter templates is an added comfort as well.
