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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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

I'm currently looking to switch career paths so was willing to submit my resume for help. Whatever software they use to parse through your resume is subpar, so I could only imagine that any doctoring to it will also be subpar. For example, their software reported back that my employment and work experience is two years, despite my resume reflecting 10+ years.
I received an email today thanking me for resubmitting my resume for critiques, which I didn't. The software seems to want to give a middling rating so you'll consider spending close to $200 for their "services."

My "writer" actually bad-mouthed the service, calling it "a cookie cutter operation"
There were five typos in the first round, including my name and email! I missed opportunities I wanted to apply for due to the major delay in delivery. I strongly suggest you NOT use this service. Also the resume seems oudated and goes against Indeed's guidelines. Wasted almost $200 on this terrible service!

I initially wasn't sure if I wanted to pay over $100 to have my resume done but I'm glad I did. Ashley was very quick in responding and did a great job on my resume. Thanks TopResume! Money well spent!

TopResume is a total scam. I submitted my money an resume in good faith and received nothing in return. I have sent several email corespondent and I am still without my money or product. If you doubt me I will happily send you the email chain to provide proof.

Tip for consumers:
Look and review any merchant providing services. If you can't call and talk to a real person don't utilize the services.

This is sham! They take your money and while commissioning them they don't monition the timeline - 10 damn days to get the most basic and mediocre level of work you would not even think of getting from someone who claims to be professional. After amendments the so called professional writer does not even reply, then after repeated follow ups gave a deadline - after his promised deadline - I get an email that the writer is not clear on my deadlines.
DON'T waste your money and time like I did...

It was a quick and pleasant experience working with Chileshe. Very pleased with the update she made to my resume. I have not had a cover letter for a long time; really haven't needed one. Love the one she created!

My experience was nothing short of spectacular. Since receiving my new resume and posting it online I have had (4) four callbacks. I like to thank my resume writer for opening my eyes on how to prepare a well-written document.

The person I was matched with was Talia. She was so fast and amazing. She got the first draft done in a day and there were only few minor changes we had to do. Before I knew it my resume was done. It's more professional now than before. I would recommend their services to everyone trying to get a professional job!

Hi guys,

I have used Top Resume to rewrite my resume and they took more time than anticipated but finally I got into an internship the next day with the rewritten resume. I don't know its luck or my resume. Hiring manager has seen my resume and told me this is what I'm looking for and I got an interview call.

I was uncertain at first about putting my resume into someone else's hands but it was well worth it. Jeanette was highly responsive and did a great re-write of my cover letter and resume. The resume and cover letter both 'flow' really well. I am very happy with the results and recommend TopResume!

I was very impressed by how quickly my resume was returned to me. The writer did an excellent job of taking the information that I already had and rewriting my resume so that everything stood out so much more. It was very professional and I'm very pleased.

I went through the process of having my resume reviewed and rewritten. During the writing process I raised concerns that I felt my re-write was pigeon holing me in a field that I was no longer in, and had no interest in. I have been sending out my resume for a couple of months now with no responses. I literally just trying to take the next step, go from 5 years as Assistant Property Manager to Property Manager. When I contacted TopResume I cannot get the same person to respond to answers are all over the place and some are out right offensive, bashing my experience and credentials (Thanks, Erica). I just lost $189 and am going to have to shell out more to get a more professional service to do the same work.

My resume needed some work. I chose TopResume due to their positive reviews online and their reasonable pricing. I turned out to be the right choice. My TopResume completely rewrote my resume, really making me stand out. I would recommend them to anyone needing a resume refresh.

This was a great way to have an objective party review and rewrite my resume to be applicable to any jobs and key word screening for applying to jobs online. Alvin was easy to work with, thorough, knowledgeable and great at follow up. A great experience overall.

Cora, my personal Resume writer was excellent. Quickly responded to my questions and concerns through E-mails and even called me on a Sunday when I requested help before an Interview that Tuesday! She got the Job done and I'm confident this will help me find the job I'm looking for!

The experience was very easy on my end. All I had to do was submit my current resume that I had made myself and answer a few questions. Less than a week later I had a resume that was put together far better than the one that I did. It also explained my work experience with better detail and more professionalism too. I have applied to several jobs since using my new resume and today I received an email saying that I have made it to the next step in the application process!

I submitted my resume for free evaluation. It was of great surprise for me when I got reply with a detailed review of my resume with very valid points. I am happy that they provided this level of detail free of cost.

Simply, I would recommend them.

I was impressed with the initial feedback and suggestions for my resume. The honest suggestions were the determining factor to utilize the service. I was not disappointed! It made sense to go with the premium package as it included the necessary information to upgrade my LinkedIn page as well. As a result of the standard of service provided, my wife has decided to also become a client!

Im good at my job, but terrible at effectively communicating that on paper. My resume was terrible and I didnt know how to fix it. I couldnt be happier with the resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile that I got out of this service. I feel like I can start my job hunt effectively now. Seriously, everything turned out better than I thought it would. It was totally worth the money.

I sent them my resume', and they were able to inform me of how it was out-dated. I loved that Katie Warren, my Resume Expert put my resume' through an Applicant Tracking System. It was an eye-opening experience.
Thank you!

My resume now looks concise and polished. My writer addressed all questions and provided feedback on my suggestions. I am proud to submit this resume and look forward to all the interest I am confident it will generate. Their prices on various packages were clearly stated on their website.
