I am okay with the overall look & feel of the new resume but not completely satisfied. In creative marketing, I wanted a clean look. However, the content of my resume is definitely more professional when it is rewritten.
It is too soon for me to evaluate if the new resume (& the cover letter) grabs the attention of recruiters as I just got it done over the holidays. I hope so.
I have recommended the service to a couple of friends already who have hired the service!
I hired them not only rewrite my resume, but also to send me a good Linked In page. They got in touch with me a few days later, and the writer assigned to me listened to my concerns and wrote a very professional resume. I was very happy with the Linked In page that came along a few days later, too.
The resume writers did a good job. They did make a couple of mistakes and I did have an issue which caused a switch to a second writer. The first writer asked me three times what time zone I was in. She appeared to not be paying attention to my answer. She knew where I lived, and that I was not traveling, yet she kept asking me what time zone I was in. It was frustrating, and when I expressed this frustration, she was upset and requested to be taken off the assignment, so I was given another writer. The second writer was very nice and I had no issues with her. The first writer also ignored a key line in my cover letter that I wanted her to use. The second writer used this line without reservation. If I had been assigned the second writer from the beginning, I'd give a 5 star rating.
I used this service to write my resume for immigration to Canada purposes. It looks great and I can't wait to use the resume in my job search. They tailor your resume to your unique skills, and it's an open dialog of your work history.
I submitted my resume for their free critique. Their suggestions seemed appropriate. I paid for their premium service. I didn't get the two-day turn-around I was promised; I got excuses. The first draft was horrible. In fact, the first draft didn't reflect any of the suggestions from their own critique! The writer promised an immediate response which didn't happen. I had to prod to get a response. Their results seemed rushed and never seemed to incorporate any of the suggestions in their initial critique. Again, more excuses. The Linkedin profile they wrote seemed to be generated by software and, was extremely elementary. I provided them with very detailed feedback, was once again promised "better results" and waited, once again. After two weeks, without a response, and well beyond the writer's commitment date, I requested a full and immediate refund. To their credit, my money was refunded. I would not recommend this service to anyone. I would pay more for a much better result.
This service was great to update my old out of date resume and making it stand out to potential employers. The writer assigned to my job was very friendly, knowledgeable, and punctual! I would highly recommend this company to update and/or create your next resume!
Mrs. Mary was awesome and quick. The only thing that we didn't get to discuss, only because she had not sent it prior to the completion date was the linked in information. But everything else was great and she was quick with all my responses.
My current resume is complicated because I'm 63 years old and into my 3rd career. I received a quick response with the first draft that simplified my resume. I asked questions about the logic of what was presented and the answers were logical and sensible. It was great for me to get the insight of someone with current knowledge and great writing skills.
Just received my first draft from their "professional resume writer". What a disappointment! I am not sure if they are having high school kids or someone just out of college try to write these but this was the worst resume and worst cover letter that I have ever seen. They have no clue what is important and the extremely brief questionnaire fails to capture relevant information. I ask for a refund but they apparently don't give refunds. Now I know why! They are handing me off to another writer so we'll see what happens. I really don't know how they think they can write a resume for someone without speaking to them and understanding what their needs are. I feel like I have been scammed and completely wasted my money. I will update this after I see what the 2nd writer does with my resume.

I am very impressed with the magic that was performed on my resume by TopResume! I was struggling to keep my resume in an easy-to-read format and how to highlight key qualitifications but TopResume turned my convoluted resume into pure resume gold. The process only took about two and a half days. My rep was very friendly and very easy to work with. She was very responsive to my messages and incorporated all the features and edits that I requested. I would highly recommend TopResume!
I selected the package that included resume, cover letter, and linked in profile. My resume was in need of a long overdue refresh. I was very impressed with the prompt service, responsiveness and organization. I would highly recommend this service and package to any busy professional needing the push to overhaul their resume and profile.
This is sham! They take your money and while commissioning them they don't monition the timeline - 10 damn days to get the most basic and mediocre level of work you would not even think of getting from someone who claims to be professional. After amendments the so called professional writer does not even reply, then after repeated follow ups gave a deadline - after his promised deadline - I get an email that the writer is not clear on my deadlines.
DON'T waste your money and time like I did...
Hi Henry,
We apologize for the delays you experienced with your order. Please reach out to support@topresume.com so we can assist you further.
I initially wasn't sure if I wanted to pay over $100 to have my resume done but I'm glad I did. Ashley was very quick in responding and did a great job on my resume. Thanks TopResume! Money well spent!
My "writer" actually bad-mouthed the service, calling it "a cookie cutter operation"
There were five typos in the first round, including my name and email! I missed opportunities I wanted to apply for due to the major delay in delivery. I strongly suggest you NOT use this service. Also the resume seems oudated and goes against Indeed's guidelines. Wasted almost $200 on this terrible service!
TopResume is a total scam. I submitted my money an resume in good faith and received nothing in return. I have sent several email corespondent and I am still without my money or product. If you doubt me I will happily send you the email chain to provide proof.
Hi Spencer, Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We'd like to discuss the issues you encountered more in depth. Please email us at support@topresume.com. Thank you in advance.
It was a quick and pleasant experience working with Chileshe. Very pleased with the update she made to my resume. I have not had a cover letter for a long time; really haven't needed one. Love the one she created!
This was the first time I used a service to write my resume, and I think it is worth it. The corporate world is more cut-throat now than ever before, and you need a resume that encompasses buzzwords, a visually appealing format, and the right verbiage. I now have all of this on my resume!
My experience was nothing short of spectacular. Since receiving my new resume and posting it online I have had (4) four callbacks. I like to thank my resume writer for opening my eyes on how to prepare a well-written document.
It took a little longer than I had expected and hoped for. My request was assigned to a writer and then had to be transferred to a new writer. I assume the first writer was overbooked, or no longer employed. Either way, the services were definitely worth waiting for! My writer was kind, genuine, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this service if you are having trouble getting your resume reviewed.
I'm currently looking to switch career paths so was willing to submit my resume for help. Whatever software they use to parse through your resume is subpar, so I could only imagine that any doctoring to it will also be subpar. For example, their software reported back that my employment and work experience is two years, despite my resume reflecting 10+ years.
I received an email today thanking me for resubmitting my resume for critiques, which I didn't. The software seems to want to give a middling rating so you'll consider spending close to $200 for their "services."
Answer: It depends, if you want to pay for a mediocre format riddled with errors that has the language equivalent of a high-schooler. You will end up paying $100 for something you could have sat down and done in an hour and a half.
Answer: Hi Carolyn, Thanks for asking! The process will begin with a questionnaire. If after you submit the questionnaire, the writer has follow-up questions, the writer will reach out.
Answer: Be careful with this company. They post 1000s of fake reviews to hide the real ones. Note that they do not post their phone number or address on the website. I had to file with the BBB to get a refund after never being contacted. This is a SCAM company - you are better off writing your own resume, trust me on this
Answer: You will not get your money refunded, no matter how bad the result is. I tried.
Answer: Because this company is a sham. Please do not waste your money. There are plenty of reputable services that you can use.
Answer: I second that, Alex! This service is a sham! I've been assigned 3 different writers and have received a subpar product back each time, written by someone who's first language is clearly not English. The best part, I paid $100+ for a "LinkedIn Rewrite" and this was where the writer copied and pasted their version of my resume into the boxes for LinkedIn. You've got to be kidding me... Don't waste your money!
Answer: I am on month two and still have not received a finalized document. Currently, I've gone through 3 different writers and still do not have a usable document. My original resume, cover letter and LinkedIn are far better products than what I've received from TopResume. If you are thinking of using this service, please PASS. It has been a tremendous waste of my resources: time and money. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Don't waste your money. All of these "reviews" are probably fake. I actually paid them $189 and never even got a usable resume. Find a better company. These guys are crooks!
