What I liked most about using this service was that I had an opportunity to arrange and have a personal phone call with my writer so that we could establish a working relationship that went beyond just communicating through email. That, along with providing actual job-postings I wanted to actually apply to using the completed product, helped tremendously with establish a working relationship that was invaluable.

Cover letter and resume updated
September 7, 2021

Having a professionally updated resume is crucial when planning your next phase in life. Top Resume assigned their writer Nicole to create a new resume and cover letter for me. Nicole listened to me and understood how to summarize my work experience while succinctly highlighting my skills. I'm very pleased with the cover letter and resume she created for me. Thank you!

TopResume is Tops!
April 29, 2017

I am trying to make a midlife course correction on my career, and it's been a disheartening endeavor at times. I found myself repeatedly going through the motions with no clear idea of what to do next. Finally, it sunk in to return to college and complete what I began. Next, I took a hard look at how I was presenting myself. The resume and cover letter I had been mindlessly attaching to each application hadn't been significantly rewritten for years, yet it's how I was introducing myself to potential employers. Something needed to change, so I contacted TopResume. I needed a second pair of eyes to help me fine-tune and polish my resume specifically for the communications and public affairs industry I was trying to move into--from an entirely different field. The revisions were excellent, and the document I have today is of much, much greater value to me than what I had before. Whether you're a professional writer or a recent graduate, I recommend TopResume to everyone. They're tops!

Good Critique
April 1, 2019

After doing multiple resume critiques with online services, TopResume had the best feedback on my existing resume. Explaining ATS and the analytics behind it. I went with a writer to give my resume the professional content I needed. Now it is so east to apply to positions and I have full confidence. Hiring Managers are looking at my resume, even multiple times.

I am senior management professional who works for a top 5 global consulting Firm with 20+ years of experience, and hold an Ivy League education. I thought I would have my resume re-written to see what all the hype was about, and after spending $200, I was bitterly disappointed. The resume sent back looked like a child wrote it, the format was very junior, the turn-around times from the writer were slow, and the wording lacked any actual substance - it was rewritten using non-specifics and generalities. Honestly, my original resume looked much better. To be sure, I floated both versions of my resume (the original and re-writen) to recruiters I knew all across the industry, and they agreed, the re-written version was a downgrade from my original.

Perfect!
February 5, 2017

I had a great experience with Top Resume! Andrea K. Was extremely helpful and understood exactly what I wanted. The associate was very open minded about a few changes and the second draft was on point! I recommend this service if you want a well written polished resume!

Worth it
November 1, 2019

Trying to build your own resume is like proofreading your own work. Of course, you think it's awesome. So far my results have been positive and I am excited to use my updated resume. The only problem is that I have no idea if it's good or not. I can't find anyone who knows better. I even tried the local employment office and they wouldn't review it. However, I like the keywords built-in and cornucopia of thesaurus like verbiage.

Writer communicated as much as he was supposed to. He did a good job with the resume and cover letter. The only issue is that i"m not getting any hits with this new resume and cover letter. I still have to November so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I am very pleased with the process and communication. Since I have never created a resume, I trust that TopResume's experience will greatly support the hiring process(es) and possibly a better job opportunity. The time and money could very well be worth it in the long run. Cheers!

I had no response from previous resume, decided to use Top Resume to see if it would make a difference. I received resume within 24 hours with final a day later. Once I started submitting the Top Resume product the responses came almost immediately. Defiantly money well spent.

Blown away!
February 17, 2021

I was skeptical at first with using a resume company promising a great revised product but I bit the bullet and hired TopResume to revamp my resume. Am I so glad I did! It came back amazing I couldn't believe how great it was! I submitted to job postings right away and a day later I got two calls for interviews. I couldn't believe it. I am so impressed with my new resume and highly recommend doing this no matter what stage you are in the job market. It's worth every penny!

Good experience.
November 12, 2016

Wish they were more responsive, I sent revisions and didn't hear back for almost 2 weeks. In the end I was very happy with what I received as the second revision. It really depends on what writer they chose for you with how many revisions you will need.

I HIGHLY recommend TopResume! I had an amazing new job within a few weeks of sending out the fantastic resume that Nicole polished up for me. In addition, Nicole was pleasant, professional, and efficient. The whole process was easy and seamless. I'm telling everyone I know about TopResume!

The Best!
November 20, 2016

I spent over $400 to have my resume done by a professional. The results were not what I had hoped for. I ran my resume through the TopResume system that picked up on what I had noticed myself. It was half-hearted and didn't make my career sound like I had done anything special when in fact I've had a very extensive career.

I signed up and within a week had an outstanding resume that has garnered me several compliments. So much so that I was offered a higher position than I had applied for -- based on my new resume. The old resume had yielded nothing.

Simple and straight forward. I highly recommend TopResume.

Don't do it!
July 12, 2019

I signed up for their service and before they had assigned me to a "writer" I was offered a job based on my original resume. I quickly emailed themto cancel since to that point no work was done other than me filling out a bunch of online questionnaires. I was assigned a writer and then they responded to my cancellation request with a $75 fee for cancelling! Save yourself some money use a colleague to proof your resume and save your self $$ and the hassle of working with companies like this.

It is worth it!
March 29, 2016

Before getting my resume done at TopResume, I thought that by using a resume program and doing it myself my education and experience would be the selling point and I would be ok. NOT! I was getting nothing not even rejection emails. I found TopResume from a job search engine and I was little apprehensive because I didn't think someone was really going to look it over. I am so thankful that I did, Cheryl(TopResume Writer) captured all the focal points and made my resume speak volumes. Since Feb 2016 I've had 2 phone interviews with one being in Georgia where we are looking to relocate. Thank you TopResume and Cheryl it was truly worth it!

Waste of money
June 18, 2019

I paid for a resume and for the follow-up call/conversation. I never received the call, and the resume was useless. I was not able to get an interview until I scrapped the whole resume. Feed back was disastrous. I had a few questions and the only response was them re-sending the resume with everything I mentioned taken out instead of fixed.

Again, save your money. If you can't write, have a friend that can do it. They failed to do the one thing I needed - translate my military service to civilian talk.

Senior Graphic Designer needed help with resume
November 30, 2019

Being laid off after 19 years, I was definitely rusty on how to construct and write a resume in 2019. I was assigned a writer that is skewed to creative types. The writer was great and got me my drafts as per promised. I would definitely recommend them!
