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I had an outdated resume and several documents that would need to be pieces together to complete a new resume.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

This was a great investment for me! I especially appreciated Top Resume reaching out to me with suggestions regarding my previous Resume. They delivered everything they said they were going to do. I have already Recommended Top Resume to my Family & Friends. Thank you Top Resume.

I had a call with Katie Warren about what I wanted to convey with my updated resume. She was very thoughtful, a great listener and even a cheerleader in my job search process.
I had my resume updated, cover letter created and LinkedIn profile updated as well.
I've received more responses to my job applications thanks to my updated resume and cover letter.

Excellent. I was really impressed with the work completed. My Top Resume writer always communicated with me in a timely fashion and was helpful in my concerns. The drafts and final pieces exceeded my expectations.

I had high hopes and expectations given the positive reviews and unfortunately my experience does not warrant recommendation. My 2 day Rush order is now 4 days late with no communication from my writer after the prelimary greeetings and a statement that she would be sending it to me shortly. I have since called Top Resume to have them credit me $75. Since then I still have not heard from my writer and have since Requested a refund for failure to deliver as promised. After I sent the message then I hear from the writer. I am now three days before a scheduled interview and I have no first draft of my resume.

Steve was fantastic, he wrote my resume in a professional manner, and my cover letter says exactly what I wanted. The LinkedIn profile was something pointless because everything was the same as in my resume.

It's a good thing that happened to me. I was searching for something and this site came up.
I uploaded my resume. Later I got email. They reviewed my resume. There were many mistakes in resume. They show me my errors and how to correct them.
I'll say it's one of the best site I have seen.

If you are serious about your personal brand and unsure if your resume needs to be a bit moe impactful, TopResume can help. I wanted to transition into a new role with little hands-on expericence and a Masters degree in a related field. My TopResume professional writer Nick was able to help me mine my experiences and dig up some really good points to aid in the career change. My resume speaks to my abilities to handle the new role at entry level position. It turns out that I had more experience than I realized. Since I completed this service I received compliments and more attention to my LinkedIn profile. Now it's up to me to nail the interviews and get the job I want.

Tip for consumers:
Don't expect a colorful eye-popping design, it's about grammar and content. There is a two week wait time, so be sure to communicate with the writer during this time. Give feedback and supply your writer with job post that you want to apply for. Be patient, your writer could be in another time-zone.

I was impressed with TopResume's service. I opted for the resume & cover letter service, and my writer did a great job crafting a resume catered to my needs. It took a few days to receive the resume, which was not a problem. The first draft of the cover letter had a minor typo that I noticed and fixed. Other than that, I was very happy with the results, and I'm hoping the new resume and cover letter lead to many new leads in the future!

Very informative for improvements on resumes. The further more I read into my review, the more detailed it got. The best thing I liked was how they illustrated what recruiters see on their end and also what systems they have in place that automizes our resumes for review or reject.

I found this process smooth and i am very pleased with the final product. My level of input in the process as well as timeliness was crucial. With a week to have a final product, I needed to be fully involved in reviewing, suggesting edits, and proofing the edits.

I am very happy with the resume that Top Resume put together for me. I was not getting any job hits with my previous resume and I am now getting hits with my new and much improved resume. I could have never came up with the verbiage they used to highlight my skills. Very pleased and have recommended others to invest in themselves to land a great job by having a marketable resume.

Tip for consumers:
Well worth the investment.

I am a professional in the pharmaceutical industry and my resume was in need of a major overhaul. I was immediately paired up with a professional who reformatted my resume, adding impressive language and significantly reducing the length making it easier to read, much more fluid, and beautiful to look at! I would recommend this service to anyone and am looking forward to getting interviews.

I provided as much information as I could think of and my writer took all of it and created an incredible resume and cover letter. I would have never thought to layout my resume the way my writer did and I now have a great example to work off of when personalizing my resume and CL for different positions. Thank you!
