We monitor reviews for authenticity
I was pleasantly surprised to receive such a detailed review of my CV from Katie Warren, after I submitted my CV for a free review. The report indicated specific comments on what was wrong and clear examples of what would be better instead. I also was provided information on how would CVs be treated/read by recruiters hunting for the perfect applicant on this job market. Thank you for that insight.
Job alerts kept coming in after posting my new resume on different sites. It was all smiles after that.
Needless to say, my new cover letter was also Brilliant!
My writer did a terrible job. When I spoke to a sales rep they guaranteed me that I would be working with a writer that had experience in the legal industry and with law students. That was a complete lie. A six year old could've done a better job. So much irrelevant information was added. If you are a law student or in the legal profession, stay away from this company. Horrific customer experience. They should be providing customers refunds when they do such a poor job. This company is running a complete scam.
I think the individual I was paired with did a phenomenal job.
Anxiously awaited the rewrite of my resume', very pleased.
Overall was very impressed with the professionalism of this company
Had a great experience from start to finish. TopResume's team was responsive and considerate, and provided an amazing service and a professionally done resume. I plan working with them again in the future.
During my search for a new position, one of the websites I was using offered a free review of my resume. I accepted but did not expect much, it's free. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the feedback. It was great! I was given advice about visual presentation and organization. I was provided with specific examples about passive language versus active language, as well as my employment and education history. Most importantly, they shared information about digital readiness. I had no idea. TopResume provided expert advice that is invaluable.
The person reviewing thought I should include tasks that made a difference for the company but that's not the kind of position I had.
The resume provided was cut-and-paste into a template with many typos and even parts of someone else's resume in mine. I'm a product manager and there were bullets about the legal profession in the resume they provided. The writing style is also very weak and plain. Their resume will definitely not set you apart from your competition, IMO. In fact, the resume I provided to them at the start was still 100% stronger than their finished product. The cover letter is again a plain template that is almost embarrassing. I would never send this to a hiring manager. I would put my job search opportunities at risk by sending the Top Resume product to companies. I also felt like I was the Top Resume quality department with the high number of errors that I found. I spent too much time quality checking their product. Also, they put you on a time clock. The resume writer ended the engagement while the product was far from final. They also never completed the LinkedIn work that I paid for... but that's probably a good thing IMO. I recommend that anyone with more than 2-year's experience save their valuable time and money and look elsewhere.
I sent my resume to enter the contest. Laura returned by email the next day with a full overview of my resume. I felt it was thorough and very informative!
I feel that my resume is very well written & very concise for employers to read. The format is very well set out & easy to read.
My experience with TopResume was extraordinary--I feel much more confident in securing interviews, especially after my superb writer illuminated my skillset, accomplishments. The company matched you with a writer familiar with your particular field. The writer responded with expertise, quick turnaround, patience, and copious questions that encouraged me to reflect about accomplishments I previously overlooked. "TopResume" is the appropriate name for the company.
I was able to take full advantage of the Resume, Cover Letter, and LinkedIn processing with very little exchange and OUTSTANDING support with the same in results! I am extremely pleased with the work provided in making my job-finding materials hard to ignore from professional look to meaty content... THANK YOU, TopResume (and specifically Stacy S. For the work you did with me)!
I had the pleasure of working with Oscar H. Although he told me it would take 7 days to have my resume redone. What a surprize when he had it done in 4 days. I did have several questions and he was quick to answer my questions. I also took the option to have my LinkedIn profile redone. I was quite surprised to see that not only did he do the rewrite, but he gave me the instructions on how to update it. Now I'm looking forward to see my results on my update cover letter, resume and new and improved LinkedIn profile.
I started this process skeptical, but they were easy to deal with quick turnaround and very professional. Exceptional job
The timely responses and information was amazing. It definitely helped me look better. Now let's see if it gets me in the door for interviews
I hadn't had to write a resume in over 16 years and didn't know where to begin! Jeremy was fast and my resume looks awesome! Thank you so much!
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!
