I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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.
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.
My resume was out of date. I was needing to enhance skills I did at a previous job over 5 years earlier. Top Resume developed a professional resume fitting his request, asking all of the right questions.

Adam G. Authored my resume. It was a pleasure to work with him. He even interacted over the weekend with me, which was a surprise to me but also helpful because I don't always have time during the work week.

The summary provided by the reviewer made such a difference in how I viewed my own resume. The information on how the resume reader software summarized my experience differently than expected. So thankful for this free review!

This was my first experience with TopResume as I discovered their link on Governmentjobs.com. I realized my resume was in desperate need of a revision and I submitted it for review. I received a very thorough critique in return which I totally agreed with and now want to pursue utilizing their services to rewrite my resume. This was a very positive experience for me.

I requested an updated resume to highlight all the facets of the travel industry with working in that business. Wendy did a fantastic job of focusing on all the skills I have that would translate to other industries as well.

TopResume is a great company to work with to re do your resume. The little experience I had, they made it sound like I was a professional when I'm just a college student trying to find a job in my career! My writer was great and my resume looks SO good! I'm pleased with the work how my resume got accomplished! I'm so glad I was recommended to this company and I appreciate it! Thank you TopResume

The end result was a well written modern resume and cover letter. The Linked In profile rewrite was not really necessary as it was pretty much just a regurgitation of the resume. Took much longer than expected- over two weeks.

I was very pleased with Kathleen as a resume writer. She was very professional and offered some invaluable insight in putting the resume together. Presentation is the key to having an effective resume and this was accomplished.
Thanks for everything.

I recently used TopResume to update my resume, cover letter, linkedin profile and couldn't be happier. I enjoyed working with the writer. She was able to transform my average resume to something I could never have done on my own.The whole process was easy and seamless. I'm very happy with the finish product and would definately recommend this company.

This has been the worst experience i had with any company.
They do not respond to calls or emails properly, i never received my resume only keep getting excuses back or they resend the same email stating it will be sent soon.
I will get a refund back,
Dont waste your time or money this is by far the worst company i had ever dealt with.

I'm highly NOT recommending this company.
Veris y unprofessional writers, totally useless customer service and management and all this only for 350 US dollars.
Besides all of this, you can wait weeks for a response.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!

Waste of money!

I have more than 10 years experience in news production in the military. I'd attempted writing my own resume. I'd even used several online tutorials, templates and military resume writing classes; but, every resume I'd written on my own was instantly rejected... whether for an internship or for employment.
Within days of receiving my final resume, I submitted it for an internship at major international news organization. I was turned down for the internship, but told my background qualifies me for a direct-hire position.
All thanks to Jessica, at Top Resume.

I really appreciated the efficiency and professionalism shown throughout the process. The writer at TopResume carefully considered all the information that I provided and customized my resume and cover letter to suit my style. I didn't want any fancy, marketing jargon that doesn't really impress recruiters. I just wanted simple, honest adjectives that reflected my skills, as well as important industry keywords that the applicant tracking systems would catch. Staci reduced my resume from 3 pages to 1.5 and still managed to capture all the important points.
The staff at TopResume were extremely responsive to my feedback and accommodated any questions that I had. I was extremely happy with their service! I've had calls from at least 10 recruiters since I posted my resume a week ago. I have confidence that my resume is much more presentable now.

I used the site to review the quality of my resume, not expecting too much in the way of meaningful feedback. When I received the feedback, I was pleasantly surprised at the extent of the review and could see how a professional actually spent time going through it. The points raised were insightful and definitely valuable for me to implement, strengthening how I am presented to potential employers.

My TopResume rep was quick to respond to any questions and I loved the final product. After weeks of sending out my old resume with no bites, I got a job within one week of sending out my new resume. The interviewer even commented that my resume looked very professional.

I lost my resume when my computer was stolen and having someone re-write a new one from scratch was something well worth paying for in my book. The cover letter was great and an attention getter and the resume was good, but not great. I was expecting someone with a great deal of expertise in resume writing and understanding buzz words and insight into what hiring managers want to see. Though Kim was good, there was nothing that suggested she was an expert. In fact, the first few revisions had issues that even I as a notice resume writer picked up on. I have the feeling that had i just said "great thanks," she would've happily sent me on my way. All in all good experience and saved me a lot of time, but do some of your own research and don't expect an expert on the other end.

The response to my request was immediate. I was able to have the staff make some changes as I saw them. Compared to my old, pallid resume this is a thing of beauty. I am flooded with job offers. I think the cost was reasonable. An all around great job.

Like most people I was hesitant on spending the money to have my resume critiqued and revamped but I decided to take a chance and I'm certainly glad I did. I received a response almost immediately from a writer and they worked very thoroughly, asking questions to make sure they understood and not to miss any details. I would highly recommend to anyone to have this service completed by top resume. Great service, very professional and a great product in return.
