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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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

They promise you to send you the first draft within one week but it took several days to assign my resume to a writer. After another week I got a resume which didn't help me at all because it wasn't written for the job I wanted to apply for. So I sent my comments within 12h to not waste more time. It took the writer another week to make a revision and I received it after the revision period what means I couldn't send my new feedback and get the chance to use the second revision. To sum up, it's wasted money to get a resume from them but I have to admit that they give you a good feedback when you do the free resume check.

Sent in my old ratty a$$ resume for a do over. It came back looking like a shiny diamond. I just hope I can live up to the new and improved hype I posses. Now let's see if the calls come pouring in.

I am very happy with the new resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile provided by my TopResume writer, Phillip. Using the profile questions that I answered and my old documents, Phillip's new documents are far better than my old ones and have the professional polish that the old ones lacked.

I came across TopResume services via CareerBuilder, I posted a resume on career builder & received a critique from a representative of TopResume, explaining what my resume tells employers, and it was not telling them what I really had to offer with my experience, which I 100% agreed, because I wasn't getting the response I wanted.

So with the critiques I received, I tried to revise my resume myself, & still no contact from employers on position I would even consider, I went back & forth for weeks on wether or not I should pay for a professional resume services, well I'm really happy I did. It was more than I could have imagined, the resume writer I worked with her was great.

I had a total of 3 revisions & I still had my resume & cover letter within about 8 days. I have received correspondence through emails & phone calls from a number of potential employers, I could see myself working for in my field. I am very pleased with TopResume services.

The experience of topresume was fine. I was furiated when I saw the first draft. It was like a 10 years old writing. I called them and they change it. The second draft was better and long. They did help me re-organized sentences, but that was all. The writer did not know my field. He asked me for all suggestions. I sent out my second draft to three companies and I got two rejections the next day (I did not get so quick rejections with my own written resume). I would only pay $30 for the sevice, but they charged me $219. Not worth it at all. But I was too swampped to argue.

I have already seen the benefit when applying to on line job applications. Amazing how the writer was able to condense my old resume into three effective and eye catching pages to read.

Top Resume was 'Right on the mark' with their review of my resume. Their critiques were smart, professional and detailed. Small adjustments really go a long way.

Good tips. I am making some changes like cutting my history to ten years, using bullets to remark my experience and rephrasing sentences in an active voice.

Everyone who had reached out sometimes sounded like AI, however, they did a professional job. It still would'nt hurt to add a personal touch to know that you are dealing with a human.
