I paid for the 2 day/48 hour turn around on the executive package. 5 days later I received a 1st draft that had blatant lies, contradictions and a 4" thick run-on sentence. I gave the writer app 2 dozen documents to peruse, 2 days later not a single word from them I emailed them again to see how things were going... 2 days after that, the final day of their agreement, I am told it has been extended, but it will be closed, I can expect another draft soon. I told them to drop my case, stop working on my resume, and 4 hours later, I get an email with some attachments... 12 days crammed into less than 4 hours of work... AFTER I asked them to stop working on my resume. 50 DKP minus.

Great Company
February 3, 2017

I highly recommend TopResume. They took all of my information and hard work I have done and created a resume that showcases my strengths. The amount of time I saved for TopResume to create something as good as what they did is in itself reason enough to use this service.

Very Professional!
November 25, 2016

LaShorne at TopResume gave my resume a new and professional look! My resume is much more well-presented, concise and straight to the point! Moreover, the tone of my new cover letter sets my application apart from other potential candidates as it shows both professionalism confidence. The whole rewrite process (two editions) was done in less than a week. I will definitely recommend it!

Thrilled!
June 1, 2021

I am so happy with my killer new resume. Matthew nailed it and really focused on my achievements. The formatting is eye-catching yet clean and this resume will be much more successful when it comes to keyword searches. I didn't need to change anything because the first draft nailed it!

I finally got a job, but the resume that TopResume wrote for me had nothing to do with it. Employers in the job interviews were interested in the CV I wrote by myself, which included all the info of my career accomplishments, and not on the a resume with carefully picked catchy phrases that only provide vague information about what I have actually done for living. I feel that their service is overpriced and I would not recommend it to someone else.

Great service, just what I'd hoped for
June 13, 2022

Entering the job market for the first time in almost a decade, my biggest point of insecurity was a CV that was out of date and sort of thrown together. For a very reasonable fee, I now have a document I'm pleased to forward on to potential employers. Highly recommended.

Awesome Experience
January 23, 2019

I had a wonderful experience with TopResume. My writer, Joanna, was very thorough and supportive. She submitted the first draft with probing questions, to which I responded with long brain dumps of multiple examples of projects I had done, that she summarized elegantly in a few susinct bullets. We went through several iterations of certain sections and ended up with a beautifully written resume. I ran my resume through a different online resume reviewer tool, the response I got was:

When computers read your resume, they think you are a high-level candidate with management experience and skills in Information Technology and Finance.

I would absolutely recommend their services!

Don't wait to have TopResume help!
March 6, 2024

I have been with my current employer for more than a decade and I've recently decided that it's time for a new opportunity. That being said, my resume was dusty and outdated. I had used TopResume's free resume review and I was impressed with how detailed the summary was for a free service. I had made a mental note to invest in their services in the future, but time flew by and months had passed. I checked my email one day and saw that TopResume offered a 25% discount code for their services. I decided that was my sign to actually get serious about my job search.

I was paired with Alex who was very communicative and helpful. Alex was able to take my resume from a "doer" to an "achiever", and involved me every step of the way. I'm so happy with the results and recommend this to anyone that's thinking about having a pro take a peek.

Average
May 26, 2017

I picked the package where I can get my cover letter, CV and linked in account edited. I am a project manager myself so I have to admit until I warned them my documents were still being written almost by past the due date. So, this is a red flag from my perspective. When it comes to charging, I am paying 300 USD and this is the service? I am sorry but I expect much better turnaroun and much more communication. I found the overall very average unfortunately. With 300 USD, one expect first of all an ownership of the task, smooth communication will help as well. Thanks!

Save your money and time!
November 25, 2017

Very disappointed with this service. Expected a one on one experience to restructure and improve my resume. Never spoke to the writer who obviously new nothing about my profession or industry. Turned out to be a one week maximum service whereby I had to make multiple edits and recommendations and finally just gave up and wrote it myself. Many sentences that were simply fluff without any true indication of my skills and experience. Never did have a chance to discuss my LinedIn profile update recommendations, they just included the same stuff they threw together for the resume.

Very simple service. I submitted my resume and the job types I would like it tailored to and received my completed resume and cover letter shortly afterward. They have specific staff members who complete orders for specific industries, so I did have to wait a week before my order was started on. Otherwise, I am very pleased with this service.

I work in biomedical field. I purchased the professional resume package ($350) that included resume, coverletter, and linkedin. The TopResume consultant assigned to me completely lacked any experience and knowledge of my field making the language used awkward and inaccurate. In addition, she lacked attention to details- the document was full of inconsistencies and grammatical errors. She didn't even know how a publication reference should be written. The only contribution she made was creating a format. All content was written by myself. Similar experience with the cover letter. I will never use this company again.

Useful Service

I was hesitant about paying for a resume rewrite but my advisor did a nice job. My resume definitely looks better and I have been more confident posting it online. While I have not gotten any calls yet I'm still happy with my results.

I received a 48 h Rush service for writing my resume. I was very pleased to see my 6 pages old resume to be condensed to two pages. When I read a description of new me from perspective of new employer, my confidence went up and I started to look for the lead positions in my field.

I had a few small suggestions after getting the first draft and I was very surprised how quickly and easily they were integrated in the final draft.
The most important thing for me was ability to communicate on a personal level, taking in consideration of my ideas, confirmations about beginning of the process and the end, these all helped me to feel I was taken care.
I was happy it was very efficient so I was able to start my job search asap after my resume was finalized.
Since I received my final version I started recommending this service to all my friends and people I know.

Thank you for your professional help!

HORRIBLE!
March 10, 2019

I fed all the information to the writer and what came back looked like my 2nd grader wrote it with a crayon. Misspelled words, incomplete sentences, didn't make sense, and completely undersold my accomplishments. The writer sent a draft back and gave me 7 days to make edits / comments and return. I did in 4 days and haven't heard or seen anything in over 2 weeks. Not one email, phone call, text, etc. nothing! I wrote back to get my money back and said it was non-refundable but offered another service like resume posting which I not so politely declined because it was horrible and didn't trust them at all. I would give them negative stars if it was an option.

TopResume responded to my request professionally and in a very quick manner. I was provided the feedback I needed on my resume. I retained their resume writing services that included a generic cover letter and thank you letter and a revised LinkedIn profile. I received all elements early and was completely satisfied with the writing services as well as the follow up of everyone involved. I highly recommend their services in order to market yourself in a much more effective and professional manner.
