GET NOTICED
Don’t sleep on the cover letter
Over 50% of employers prefer candidates send a cover letter with their application, even if it’s not required. A cover letter will give you a leg up on other candidates, showing you’re serious about the position and--in a tie-breaker--can help employers make a final decision about who to interview.
TELL YOUR STORY
Craft a narrative
Use the cover letter as an opportunity to elaborate on aspects of yourresume. You can address any employment gaps, layoffs, or upcoming relocations. Your cover letter also helps employers get to know you beyond yourresume.

Frequently asked questions
How do I collaborate with my resumewriter?
Our resume-writing process is collaborative between the writer and the client. We use your old resume as a primary source of information. If you don’t have a resume, don’t worry— your writer will send you a brief questionnaire that will request all the information we need to get started. Once this has been provided, your new resume 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. The process typically takes one to two weeks.
What qualifications do TopResume writers have?
We have a network of over 1,200 writers, including certified career coaches, former and current hiring managers, HR professionals, recruiters and professionals with specialized experience in over 65 industries.
