TopResume exceeded my expectations. Each writer was extremely professional. It started first with the critiquing of my resume I had for a few years. I didn't understand why I would only get phone calls or job offers for sales positions. I decided to take a chance and allow them to critique my resume. After getting feedback from TopResume, I was pleasantly surprised at the feedback I got. I was getting sales phone calls because of the wording of my resume. TopResume was all to eager to jump right in and assist with rewriting my resume. Not only did TopResume rewrite my resume, but also rewrote my cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. I was quite pleased with the end results of each item. Since posting my new and improved resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile on various job sites, I have received numerous phone calls for interviews from various major corporations. I'm sure I will have that new dream job I've always wanted very shortly. I would highly recommend anyone searching for a company that specializes in resume makeovers to sincerely consider TopResume.

I had an incredible experience working with my my resume writer, Ruth. She was super nice, and made communication very easy. I liked the revisions made to my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. The work quality was very professional, and anytime I had emailed with questions or changes, they were answered promptly. I held off using a professional resume writing company for a few months, but came to learn that it is worth the money. I would recommend anyone to use their service.

I appreciate my refresh on my resume. It is difficult to brag about yourself and my writer helped me do that. I loved the language, format and updated look at my jobs. Thanks for the help!

Amazing service
July 17, 2016

I am extremely happy with my updated Resume and Cover Letter. The writer was quick, thorough and extremely informed. I wish I had more information on why the changes were made so that I can be more informed in the future. However, I am confident that my resume will make it to the top of the pile when applying for positions. My favourite thing about this service was the ability I had to make edits and ask my writer questions. The interaction was well worth the money. I highly recommend TopResume.

I was very impressed with the quality of the work that my resume writer produced. He was very interactive, answered all my questions, and produced a resume that not only positions me to be considered for the jobs that I want but also projects a level of professionalism and polish that I could not achieve myself.

I finished Grad school and was applying for jobs but couldn't seem to get any responses on my applications. I decided to give TopResume a shot to update my resume design and content. I love the new layout and design, I never would've thought to organize the material the way they did. I also had a cover letter written because I never seem to find the right wording for that. Overall, I am happy with both products and have since received 2 interviews since submitting my new documents.

I ordered the resume and cover letter. The drafts arrived promptly after I submitted my information. The resume writer was very responsive to my comments. I am confident to present this resume and cover letter. In less than 2 weeks, I have personal job interviews lined up.

Had a resume that was not getting much traction and sought our Top Resume after some research. Within minutes I was connected to Jennifer my resume agent. Jennifer and I engaged in some very good interactive dialogue, some one and two page emails so that she can deeply understand my gifts and talents. Within 12 hours and 3 good emails she drafted a phenomenal first draft. After some quick touchup she produced a final version within the 48 hour time frame. When you seek high quality, quick and efficient service and customer service for your resume needs I highly recommend Top Resume.

I have to say that I was a little worried if this would be worth it. I bit the bullet and did it and can't be any happier. I have been looking for jobs for about a month and there was a day that I started to use my new resume... and it is like night and day. I have gotten a lot of interviews lined up with the job reqs that I used my new resume... way more then before I got my new resume. So it has been a great experience and happy to have done it. I recommend it to everyone.

A Decent Investment
July 16, 2016

To be honest, there were some hiccups at the beginning. It took some time for TopResume to patch me to my writer, and a lot of deadlines were violated in the process. However ever since then the results were fairly consistent and I shared a prompt communication with my writer. The final draft looked neat and professional.

Used TopResume in June of 2016 to update my resume. It took a few days for them to get back to me but the results were much better than what I was sending to prospective employers previously.

I've needed help with my resume for a while now, and jumped at a chance when a discount became available. The initial emails went well, but then I never heard back from the writer assigned to my case. I'd ask and be told things were just taking llonger than usual, until I was finally assigned a different writer and a discount. She was on the ball, and I'm glad I waited. She wrapped up everything in just a couple days and I couldn't be happier

TopResume has updated my resume to a very professional level - the first email I sent for a new position with my updated resume; I've got an interview and later a job offer.
Starting a new job in a few days thanks to TopResume.

I found this site, the resume, cover letter & my writer to be absolutely wonderful! I am transitioning to the civilian world after 20 years in the military and was having a terrible time trying to write my own resume. I am eternally grateful to TopResume & Matt. If you want a great product in a very timely manner, you want to work with TopResume! If you want feedback & an open line of communication to ensure your resume is exactly the way you want it, then you want TopResume!

The service was great, the writer did a good job with what she had to work with. But the end product has not been all I hoped. What would have really helped was if in the end, they could have run my new resume through the same automation software they used as a sales technique and given me the same type of scores they used to convince me I needed help in the first place so I could better quantify how much my resume had been improved. My work around that has been to use jobscan.co to evaluate the resume before each application.

It has required a lot of re-working on my part, which is fair enough, a resume writer who is doing work from some documentation and a basic questionnaire can't work miracles. If you expect a perfect outcome, no service is going work for you.

If you need an uninterested party to re-write your resume to get you pointed in the right direction, this is a great service. And if you have ever struggled to write, the price is completely fair for what you get, I actually felt bad because the time it must have taken the writer means in the end the hourly wage wasn't much.

When someone else re-writes your resume who has no emotional attachment to you, it helps you accept your weaknesses in a way your friends/family can't. That said, there was too much flowery language and typical descriptions which she used to fill in where I didn't have enough on my own. After re-reading it multiple times I have simplified the language and adjusted it. But her attempt to fill in typical language where I lacked it gave me something to work with, it was easier to edit and fix because I could see where she was coming from and why she had done it, even if it wasn't prefect.

I would advise using this service along with jobscan.co and looking at the requirements on the various job postings, and adjust accordingly, eventually coming up with the perfect combination.

I didn't love the cover letter, I have found other formats work better for me, but as cover letters go, it is a nice start.

I have found I need to keep adjusting the resume to the missing language choices for each application in jobscan.co. I have gotten more hits on LinkedIn since the re-write, but that was after I made changes to what I was given.

But without the re-write I would still be spinning my wheels. If you are willing to put in as much as the writer does, you will get what you need. If you expect the writer to give you an original resume without meeting half-way, you will be disappointed, but you are also expecting a miracle, and that is not fair.

I am very pleased with the Resume and Cover Letter that TopResume produced for my job search. From the very beginning of the project, they were very helpful, responded quickly to my questions, and seemed to take a genuine interest in my search for a new position. I can't wait to see how everything turns out.
