I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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.
I am very pleased with the Customer Service and my overall experience with Top Resume! I would highly recommend them to friends and colleagues and actually already have!

Decided to update my resume and wanted a fresh perspective so I decided to pay roughly $230 for the CV and cover letter update from a writer named Emily.
Once I signed up, I had to fill out a survey and was asked my top accomplishments which I thought was strange given I had already submitted my existing resume.
A week or so later, I got the resume they worked on and to be fair the template was vastly different from what I had been using. There was a high level statement followed by bulleted key words, the education came to the front, and my most recent job experience got pushed below education.
Here were the issues:
- The high level statement had a string of buzz words that when I put into Google, I found multiple people had pasted the phrase on Linked In profiles. Meaning they are re-purposing in verbatim!
- The bullet keywords were all general management phrases like "Sales", "Effective team management" etc. vs. Relevant phrases for my industry. They didn't even try to research what they would be!
- The tasks under my job were copied and pasted exactly from the intake survey.
- The cover letter was hopeless. It was 2 paragraphs of the most generic buzz word(y) thing you could have found when you Googled "cover letter template"
Overall, the only thing Top Resume will get you is a new format. Just Google, TopResume format and see the examples. Don't pay the $200 and just use that template and re-phrase it with your relevant experience and industry associated phrases.

I recently purchased TopResume's services and have been appalled at the quality of the products that were provided to me. With the Resume and Cover Letter, they were riddled with very simple spelling and grammar (For instance, sentences like "I no less than 90% rating on customer satisfaction surveys and upsold o the point of 20% of clients converting to higher levels of services" and "Created relationships, built trust, and retained business of 4 companies manufacturing GPS devises for trucking companies". These are unacceptable errors even in a first draft. And then I discovered that my refund request was denied, even though I'm completely dissatisfied! This is unacceptable. When I called customer support, I also discovered that I could not talk to the people that made the decision not to give me a refund. I am completely dissatisfied with the product and your process and would like a full refund, and I find it absurd that I cannot get one. I feel scammed, and no one seems to be able to do anything about it. Please give me a refund.

I was astounded at the initial review of my resume, I really thought it was good as it was. After reviewing the the feedback about changes that I should make, I made a few simple changes. At this point I was reluctant to pay the money and have someone re-write it for me. After reading the reviews I was convinced that it would be a good idea to have a professional do it.
The initial set up was a simple process, enter in what ideas you would like to see in finished product. You answer more or less, a questionnaire with your ideas of what you would like to see, after a day they assign you a professional for the re-write. Jennifer M. Was assigned to me and immediately went to work. I explained what I would like to see and she made the magic happen. She was very cordial in making my vision come to life.
I was very impressed with the overall process, it was very quick and painless. I would suggest this service to anyone that is looking to update their current resume to have a professional look and flow to their job search documents. I used the service for a resume re-write and cover letter and have no regrets.

Barri went above and beyond in transforming my resume into an effective, polished marketing tool. My initial concerns were that I'm 50 years old and have many lapses in work experience over the years. Also, I have a new degree in my desired field, but not much experience in this new field. When I received my first draft, I could tell that she did her homework in researching my past experience as well as researching the job function I am targeting. She took my very complicated and disjointed old resume and made every section make sense in content and flow as well as make the entire document look very professional and inviting. I was also concerned that my advisor would not quite understand my job function, but because of the time she put into her research she was right on the money. I was also impressed with Barri's speedy response time to my questions and my revisions. We worked together as a powerful team to get my resume to a point where I'm very proud of it and confident that it is an excellent representation of who I am and what I want to do. I highly recommend Barri and Top Resume!
