“Seamless process”

Ellissa A.
7/27/24

I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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.

“Absolutely NOT worth the money”

Heather C.
11/24/24

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.

I had expected a week to process it, but my CV was revised twice within three days and completed with my cover letter. Victor structured my CV and focused on my skills in the summery. I would not have managed on my own to reduce my CV to the HR industry and to specify my skills as precisely as Victor did. He is simply great.

Great Experience

I had my resume analyzed and learned a lot. I have been out of my field for a couple of years and have a widely varying work history. I was uncertain as to how to make all of that work. I purchased the resume and was delighted with the results. The writer was very quick and explained how I could customize the finished product for different applications. The first time I used my new resume I received an invitation to do a montage interview. I know have a live interview set for next week!

I should have done my work and check Better Business Beruea,
"BBB files indicate a pattern of complaints concerning product quality and customer service for Top Resume. "
I purchased their 349 dollars package for a resume. Before anything began, I contacted their support team via email and requested that they used a template I had liked. They said they would send it to the writer and let me know. 5 days later, they tell me they cant, mind you that no writing had begun. The writer tells me that they cant use my template for ATS purposes, I tell them, I don't care about ATS because I will not be posting my resume online but rather pass it along my network of friends and family. The writer insists on saying no, so I asked for a refund. I get a message from them saying, they can only give me 30 percent of my 349, when they did not provide any kind of service, product or a result.

My resume was absolutely terrible. I have had to go back through and redo the entire thing. Language was changed throughout to downplay my experience, typos were added and superfluous bizarre wording of things was sprinkled in throughout. Truly the worst product I have ever paid for in my life.

I was very pleased with every element of my experience. Mary worked around my timeline through a family emergency and was always patient and available. She was able to pull out of my some elements that I, myself, am usually embarrassed to discuss and was able to articulate my skillset very well onto paper. Would highly recommend TopResume's services to anyone looking to sharpen up their resume ensemble.

When I research a company, I always look at the bad reviews and see if I can live with the complaints that other people have. All the bad reviews I read seemed scripted like someone else had written them and not actually customers. So I thought that I was make a fairly safe bet that I could trust TopResume. I worked with Joel and he did a great job, was very professional, and gave me a good product for a great price. I am very please with the work that I received and I would recommend TopResume to anyone who wants a well written resume.

Top Resume did a great job of taking my resume to the next level. Within a day of posting my new resume and updating my Linkedin profile with Kyla's suggestions I had 3 recruiters emailing me with jobs. My resume is polished, professional and highlights the accomplishments I have had in my career. Kyla even had insight enough to create a resume that took into consideration my age and took that possible liability and turned it into an asset. When I had hesitations about seeking a higher level position Kyla offered words of support and encouraged me to be confident in taking my career to the next level.

I wanted a fresh look for my resume - after many years in my field, I knew I needed a renovation and remodel of my resume and the person who helped me did a fantastic job not only with my Resume, but also with a sample cover letter and rewriting of my Linked In profile. I'm extremely happy with the results!

I requested expedited serviced and received confirmation that it would be delivered by 4/6, however, nothing was deliver. I reached out to *******@topresume.com and indicated I was still interested in the service and could they refund the additional charge $75.00 charge for expedited and they indicated they do not do refunds...

CAUTION: They will defraud you of your money and indicated "they have no way to provide refunds" Please DO NOT use the expedited service.

After months of endlessly applying for jobs and not getting any calls or interviews, I decided that even it was an expense that I couldn't really afford being out of work, I decided that my Resume could use some fine tuning. I saved an email that I received from Top Resume at the beginning of my job search and was impressed what they could do for me and very quickly. Since they offered a payment plan which worked for my budget, I decided to go for it. They were efficient and I got my "Fine tuned resume" back very quickly. I re-uploaded my resume into several job search companies and I am now getting feedback and scheduled interviews. The resume makes me look really fantastic and boosted my "out of a job blues" and now I feel more positive than ever and will land that job that I have desired. Thank you Top Resume! You Rock!

Tip for consumers:
Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed. These people know what they are doing.

This site came recommended from my professional association. My resume needed a new look, so I let them take a stab at it. Wow! I received my first draft within a week. I tweeked this a bit then sent it back. Within 24 hours, I had the updates and a very great looking resume. I have already sent it out to one company and within 5 days, I had a phone interview. I would recommend TopResume to all professionals who are needing a resume refresh.

If you want your resume to truly standout, TopResume will make it happen. I thought my resume was good, but I learned after using TopResume that mine was barely adequate. The format and the attention grabbing words make all the difference. I highly recommend TopResume.

I truly enjoyed the process of rewritting my CV. The professional writer that helped me was nice and always knew what she was doing. I sent her a couple of resumes I already got and took the best out of every single one to materize the final draft. I'm happy with the final result and I'm currently looking for job opportunities.

I have already been recommending this service to friends and colleagues. My writer was very responsive and polite. I am enjoying working with her.

Reason I chose this business:

Because the sample critique was exactly what I needed to improve my resume. It was 5 pages long and I needed to simplify it without losing the important facts about my skills and experience. I do not know what is acceptable in the hiring world right now, so I relied on this service to know what to do.

The resume writer didn't even look at your instructions. It looks like a copy-and-paste from another AI website. It's not worth spending money on this site.

I'm very pleased with my new CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profile written by a TopResume writer, Cate. She was very professional and replied quickly to my questions. My new resume highlights my skills and achievements in a way that I could've never done myself. I still haven't heard back from recruiters as it's only been a week since I received my new CV, but I feel more confident about passing it around, and my LinkedIn profile is getting more views.

Tip for consumers:
If you have doubts about it, you can send your current CV for a free revision. I did it after signing up on Monster. It gives you a preview of what TopResume can do to improve your CV, and that's what finally helped me decide to try their paid services.
