I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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.
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.
The final product was so perfect, I received 2 job offers within 24 hours. I even received compliments on the verbiage used in the resume during one of my interviews.

The reviewer was very direct and to the point. It dissected the resume into multiple items that were not optimal, but provided only one example of how to improve it.

Straight forward process. Provide the request information and a qualified specialist handles the rest.

This service created a completely useless document that I could not use in any way. Through MULITPLE back-and-forth communication, I explained to them what was critical to have in my resume, and yet they simply refused to include it! Then they rewrote most of my descriptions in the most non-human, AI-jumble way that absolutely made no sense as well as being obviously written by a machine. As they had no background experience in my career fields of journalism and education, they could not make logical decisions about what to include or how to describe it. I started with a decent resume and needed only some tweaking and what they did was create a completely nonsensical and illiterate resume. As someone apply for jobs in English and literature, I cannot afford to have typos and misspellings and yet everything they added was RIFE was these kind of mistakes. I requested a full refund and was denied. They did not even offer a partial refund and I was told that they had spent the "allotted amount of time" on my resume and could not offer any more services, even though all the time they spent on it resulted in drafts that DID NOT MEET ANY OF MY REQUESTS FOR REVISIONS. They just came back with the same or a worse version each time. I invested an incredible amount of time in filling out their forms and asking for revisions and did not get one single improvement I could use. DO NOT RECOMMEND
Tip for consumers:
I felt like I was communicating with a machine rather than a human being the whole time.

Great outcome... I was not up to date on how a résumé should be written and my writer totally changed it for the best. Really, really happy... like the Chewbacca mask "It's worth every penny".

I have been contacted and communicated with the staff from Top Resume and agreed to take the service with writing the Resume and Cover letter. After having the service with Top Resume, my reflections are as below:
Good communication
Good service
Good quality

My writer waited to the last minute of each TopResume-imposed deadline to send me drafts, which were full of grammatical errors and in some cases outright lies (saying I had done multiple public presentations when my original resume only stated one conference). I asked a number of questions about the writer's choices and received almost no feedback. I did however receive excuses whenever I called the writer out for sloppy editing - was on his way to work, had unexpected personal issues. I would be accepting of that if the writer had let me know earlier that there would be a delay (and a lot of editing work on my end) had I been informed earlier; instead I sat around waiting anxiously and was completely disappointed with each draft. I sent an email to "Katie Warren" asking if that was the level of quality they expected people to pay for and the response was to "work with your writer." I agree with other customers' feedback that the formatting feels dated (justified? Centered? Long paragraphs and bullets?). As a marcom writer myself, I came to TopResume to learn more about how resumes are read through the ATS. I wanted to trust them as experts, but even my final version was sloppy. I wouldn't trust them as or for anything.

I found TopResume through an ad on one of my job subscription emails. The offer was to evaluate my resume. I'm not gullible, I knew full well they'd offer their services to "fix" it once they had the results. I'm always skeptical of offers such as this, but I asked a few of my trusted friends who had their resume professionally rewritten and they were very happy with the results. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. The cost wasn't unreasonable and worst case scenario would've been I get a better looking/formatted resume. I can honestly say I was completely bowled over when I got my first draft. My first thought after reading the draft was, "who is this person?" and then I realized it was my information pulled out of my old resume, and formatted/written in a way I could only dream of being able to do myself. It's hard for many people to write about themselves and sing their own praises. Sometimes you need an impartial person to step in and make you see the greatness that you should've been seeing all along. If you're on the fence, I'd say give it a try. It definitely can't hurt. And if it helps you get a job, or a better job, then it's money well spent.
I only used them for a resume rewrite. I have not used any of the other services they offer.

Just say no. Or use Fiverrr.com and pay $15 for a resume rewrite. This way if its disappointing, your wallet won't take such a hard hit. Decided to purchase the executive package including a resume and cover letter rewrite after Katie Warren gave me an in depth critique of just how weak my resume was. I realized I had been scammed when this Katie Warren was soliciting in my inbox about rewriting my linkedin profile for an additional cost immediately after I paid for the first service. Upon receipt of my first draft of my $200 resume, it looked exactly like the free version I wrote myself LOL (laughing to keep from swearing). My "professional resume writer" didn't even apply the initial critiques that this Katie Warren gave pre-payment. My cover letter was just OK. Had some of the exact same wording from my resume, which was annoying because that just seems lazy. I find it disgusting to prey and manipulate people who are only trying to enhance their chances of finding employment. The job search is tough enough without the added stress of being out this amount of money to yield the same results with documents I wrote myself. Money I don't have, why? Because I'm UNEMPLOYED.

I used this service and even bought additional services to spread my resume easily to other sites. Let's tackle first the writing of the resume. They took my original resume and changed it from past tense to present but for the most part it was the original that I wrote. They also removed items to crunch it to one page. These are things they recommended in their analytics. Next the "top" sites to send my resume to per TopResume are really not the top or best sites. It was easy though to upload to all those non-value added sites which cost an additional $300. So not worth the money. Now on the resume itself. I put it back through to TopResume to see what they would come back with. Surely since they wrote it it should come back that nothing needed to be done to it. It should be perfect, right? Well TopResume' analytics came back saying almost exactly the same thing as it said the first time I sent my un-doctored resume to them. So all in all not worth the money. DO NOT SPEND your money here.

I had a great experience with TopResume. They have done a good job and turn the work in timely manner. However in building linkedin profile they have to guide more over the phone.

Dont waste your time and money with this scam! Here is what you are going to get: one paragraph summary and a bunch of buzzwords from job descriptions hastily thrown together as your `area of expertise`. Believe me, some of them are not even a skill. (Mine has Data Requirements_ Yes, DATA REQUIREMENTS) The rest will be the exact same resume with a different format.
Don`t expect that they will tailor your resume based on the information. The writer will keep responding to your e-mails like he/she understands any word of what you say. After waiting for a couple of days, you will get something even worse than the first draft.
When you realize that it is pointless to get what you want, don`t expect a refund. They are `unable to provide a refund` and suggest you to `collaborate` with the same writer about the revisions. After this point, they ignored all the e-mails I wrote. Also, keep in mind that there is no customer service but a voicemail. If you were lucky enough to use a credit card instead of debit, call your bank to dispute on the transaction. Otherwise, enjoy, you are ripped-off.
