The person I worked with was really great — very patient and understanding and understood the task at hand extremely well. I haven’t been on a job search in nearly twenty years, so my cv needed work! They were great and helping me shape a more professional and clear document. Highly recommend!

How TopResume delivers quality CVs.
The assigned consultant was helpful and open to suggestions in crafting my CV which made the final acceptance of the completed work easy since it was done with client's inputs/participation. What I liked were the nuggets of good suggestions given to me - probably gleaned from the company's large exposure to the job industry - in bite-size and easy- to- accept format. Great.

My resume writer Anne was able to collect all of my experience and academic data and provide a new resume that was contemporary and concise. I opted to purchase the after draft phone call to converse over resume changes and it was very constructive in providing insights on how the resume was made. I recommend TopResume to anyone looking for a refresh on their resume.

Wonderful customer service!
Having been on Active Duty over 13 years I had not needed a resume and had only maintained a not very detailed CV. They quickly recommended an academic CV which was more what I needed for my career field. It was very overwhelming trying to put this together on my own so I was so thankful to find TopResume! I also did the LinkedIn profile and in person call which was extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

A New Experience
Being in the academic community, I needed a new CV rather than a resume and had to "teach" the person I worked with what that was. She was very open to this new experience and produced an excellent looking CV that included everything I needed. The result was several interviews but no job offers as more often than not, the job positions to which I applied were cancelled after the interview process. However, the CV is now one that I can update with a framework for writing the updated material.

Fast, responsive and thorough
Fast, responsive and thorough. I had a great experience working with TopResume. After completing a PhD and striking out on the academic job market, I needed help re-branding myself and selling my skills to a new field. TopResume made that easy; I feel like I didn't pay nearly enough for the amount and quality of service I received. I particularly appreciated how thorough my resume professional was in responding to my questions and concerns and soliciting feedback and input from me. Highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions
1. A resume is targeted towards the business and industry sectors, whereas a CV focuses on your academic and research background—including publications, presentations, conferences, and teaching experience.
2. A resume is more concise—usually 1-2 pages. A CV is more comprehensive, can be several pages long, and includes academic achievements, research contributions, and teaching experience.
3. A resume includes personal details like a summary, contact information, and relevant skills. A CV dives more into academic details like thesis/dissertation title, academic advisors, and sometimes a brief statement of your research interests.
