My Perfect CV - CV builder Reviews Summary
The company has garnered mixed feedback, with some customers praising the ease of use and effectiveness of the CV-building tools, as well as positive interactions with customer service representatives. However, a significant number of reviews highlight serious concerns regarding unauthorized recurring charges, lack of communication, and difficulties in canceling subscriptions. Many users express frustration over being charged without prior notice or clear terms, leading to feelings of being misled. Overall, while the product quality receives acclaim, the company's customer service approach appears to be marred by issues related to transparency and responsiveness.

The customer service I received from Bryan was amazing. Knoledgeable, professional yet personable all in perfect measures.
Bryan answered my queries quickly and efficiently - a reflection of a great business.
The CV's look good, plenty of styles to choose from. The formatting wasn't perfect at the start but the customer service chat was able to resolve that quickly. Only the search facilities for text phrases could be improved. In overall: No complaints.
Hi Andrea,
We’re always thrilled to hear from happy customers. Thank you for sharing your experience! If you need further help, please do not hesitate to contact us.
They really have great customer services spoke to Marcus and what an amazing member of staff. Keep up the good work guys! Thumbs up!
Thanks for your review, Lynna! Glad we were able to help. Have a good one!
I built my CV through the simple steps online which constructed an informative and professional looking cv which allowed to download, print and save it in various formats. All for under £3 for your first 14 days which was fantastic! After I had used the service and got a CV together I no longer required my subscription. As you can imagine some companies are not pleased when you have to call explaining why you no longer want to continue with them. I rang and a very helpful and kind lady helped me quickly and with ease to deactivate my subscription. She generously offered me some of the great offers and benefits that were available to me and when realised could not continue with my payments she understood and cancelled my subscription. No strings atttachted. I feel very comfortable and trusting that my money is no longer used for any further payments and I am trusting of the company, which is what a customer should want. I will defiantly be using this service in the future.

Got the 14 day access and they billed me the following month for the usual £16.95 called and they refunded my account and gave me 1 month extra at the introductory rate. The cv builder was extremely useful and would recommend this to anyone looking to get a professional cv although you must be aware you are automatically signed up to the usual monthly price unless you close your account when the 14 days is up.
That’s what we like to hear, John. Our customer service team is always here to help. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hello Patrick,
We’re sorry to hear that you may have the wrong impression of our service and subscription. We would like to take this opportunity to clear up some information regarding your account:
Our free account gives you the chance to try out our resume builder before deciding to purchase. The ability to print, e-mail, or download your resume and cover letters are features included in our paid subscription and not listed as a feature of the free account. You can download a plain text version of your resume for free. For the benefit of our users, we provide the option of a 14-day trial for a small fee. When you select our 14-day trial enrollment, it provides all the details on screen which state that after the 14th day, it will auto enroll into the monthly subscription service. It also explains that you can cancel at any given time. This alert is also given when the credit card information is requested where it explains that unless you cancel, you automatically authorize us to charge your account every four weeks at the current rate of the subscription. Lastly, when you finish your enrollment process, an e-mail is sent explaining this as well. Auto e-mails can get picked up by the filter as spam or junk mail, redirecting this to the junk/spam folder. Please be sure to check these folders just in case.
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns regarding our products and services. Thanks for getting in touch.
The site was really easy to use, the prompts for each job role were very helpful to use as a template, they also served as a great memory-jogger as I was having to create a CV that went right back through my work history. My CV ended up looking really good and I was extremely pleased with the result. I had absolutely excellent customer service from Edward who helped with a query on my account.
Thank you for sharing your experience with Edward. We strive to provide an A+ Customer Service experience with a one-stop approach to any situation. Your feedback helps make our service even better.
I stumbled on this site in my quest to create a CV. It was easy to navigate and very helpful with suggestions. I had pleasure in dealing with Carmen via a Web chat who was beyond helpful. In all I was delighted with my CV and did in fact get a perfect result

I was not aware that i was getting myself into a subscription pack of 16.95 pounds a month but after talking to the customer service, they kindly processed my complain and offered me a refund with great patience. They are really understanding and responsible.
Hi Joey,
That’s what we like to hear, Joey. Our customer service team is always here to help. Thank you for sharing your experience.
The templates are easy to use and have an excellent professional look, the customer service and back up is first rate, Like some of the bad reviews you had i was surprised to be charged £16.95 for an account I didn't need, when challenged the company recognised my mistake and reimbursed the money immediately.
Hi Robert,
Thanks for sharing your feedback and experience with us, Robert!
All I needed was an updated CV and this website had my details from last year. So I paid £2.95 to convert it to Word document to send to Remploy. Just what I needed to start the ball rolling back to employment. Will be back again in the future. Would recommend to family and friends.
Hi Melanie,
It’s great to hear that you’re pleased with your job-ready CV. We’re here to help jobseekers get their CV ready so they can focus on getting the right job. Thank you!
I subscribed to my perfect c.v. on behalf of my daughter who needed to create a c.v. for a college project & it was perfect for the task. My daughter was more than happy with her experience & will no doubt use this service when she eventually enters the job market for real.
Thanks for your review, Brian! Glad we were able to help. Have a good one!
This useless company charged my account with £16.95 for a completely useless CV
I was not aware I was signing into a subscription package

Cancelled my subscription as format not in word and does not print out to my satisfaction. I cannot fault the customer service very polite and helpful.
Hi George,
Thanks for your review, George! Glad we were able to help. Have a good one!
Used these guys once and got a job very quick using my new c/v so I recommend them for increasing chances of getting that new job,
Hi Tony,
We appreciate the positive feedback, Tony, and we’re happy to hear that we were able to help you in your job search. Congrats on the new job!
I was pleased with the pricing offered for a year subscription, but didn't want to resubscribe on account of the fact that when you download a CV into Word or PDF the formatting was extremely difficult to edit and the fonts were totally different to the web format design.
The program has helped me with CV writing but has not helped with creating word/pdf documents to use/print.

The cv template was extremely easy to follow, but it stated that my subscription could be cancelled via my on line account, there was no where on the site for me to cancel had to phone customer services, very charming young man but really tried to sell me another month, not interested all I wanted was a cv.
