Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of a professionally written resume?

When you work with a resume writing service, you’re investing in a quicker job search and a more fruitful and satisfying career. To have job search success, your resume has to appeal to both the resume resume scanning software and the hiring manager — or else you risk getting lost in the “resume black hole”, where your job application is dismissed without consideration because of your resume.

A professionally written resume:

Helps you find a job faster

Candidates using resumes rewritten by TopResume have proven to be 3 times more likely to secure a new job than those using a self-written resume.

Makes you more valuable in the eyes of recruiters

Recruiters valued candidates with professionally written resumes to be worth 7% more than when assessed using their self-written versions. With a professionally written resume, you can help ensure your next position will come with a bigger paycheck.

Get noticed more

Job seekers using TopResume are interviewed 2 to 3 times more often than those using self-written resumes.

How does the resume-writing process work?

The resume writing process begins with us getting to know you and learning about your history and career goals. Once we’ve learned more about you, we’ll match you with a writer knowledgeable about your industry.

Your writer collaborates with you on a first draft, which will be delivered to you in about a week. Then, you'll have another week to provide feedback to your writer, with up to two rounds of revisions.

Overall, the resume writing process typically takes one to two weeks. You can learn more about what to expect when working with a TopResume writer here.
