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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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

It was easy to work with Sabrina. We had one call. Everything else we did by email. She met all the deadlines.

Used TopResume in June of 2016 to update my resume. It took a few days for them to get back to me but the results were much better than what I was sending to prospective employers previously.

Got my resume written by so called professional resume writers when there are simple grammatical mistakes in every other line. Asked for revisions and my writer began to ignore me.

Hi Jackie,

It definitely doesn't meet our service standards if the writer ignored you. Please reach out to ops@topresume.com so we can investigate this matter.

I think my resume had a major upgrade after being rewritten by TopResume. Besides adding important keywords that I haven't thought of, they changed wording to a more sophisticated vocabulary.

I didn't expect a free review of my resume to be so thorough and focused. It was hugely helpful, and when I truly dive back into the market I will probably even pay for writing services.

They will copy and paste your resume in to a template without adding much. My "writer" was not familiar with my industry despite the website advertising that they were, so she made up key words and experience I don't have, left incomplete sentences and inconsistent formatting in the final products, copied dates wrong, and ignored the majority of my re-write requests. Some of the cuts from my original document were helpful but a few prestigious and important items were also cut out of their draft.

Customer service's response to this complaint was that I was"welcome to let your writer know at the time", which is about a one week window during which response time varies. Since you pay upfront, they can essentially do as they please and time you out on feedback and rewrites.

Topresume did provide me with a kick in the butt to improve my resume by editing the document they provided, but the cover letter is useless gibberish and I have no faith in the "60-day interview guarantee".

If you are a capable writer and can maintain verb tense consistency on your own, I recommend you save your money and just google up a resume template you like. If needed have a friend help you edit down your experience down to a few bullets for each job, then go out to dinner a few times on the savings!

Terrible attitude from my writer on our first interaction. What I got back was worse than any rewrite I could have done myself. I felt totally ripped off. Have asked for and been promised a refund.

If you are having doubts, kick them out right now. Within a day or so after posting my polished resume, done by a great rep, Jen, I had 3 calls in one day from looking over my resume. Go for it!

I'm pleased with the resume but the process did feel a bit rushed and impersonal. I felt pressured to hurry up and accept documents so they could move on.
