TopCV Reviews Summary

The company has garnered mixed feedback regarding its CV writing services. Positive aspects include effective communication from some writers, professional insights, and a few customers reporting successful job placements after using the service. However, significant concerns revolve around the quality of the final products, with many customers feeling that the CVs were poorly tailored, often generated by AI, and lacking in industry-specific detail. Delays in service delivery and inadequate customer support further exacerbate these issues, leading to a perception of the company as unreliable. Overall, while some clients had satisfactory experiences, a notable number expressed disappointment, suggesting a need for improved service consistency.

Veryn positive
December 23, 2016

I could never have written such a positive cv.
Although I provided all the info, the finished document was nothing like my own original.
I am currently using it and feedback is again very positive.

My previous basic resume written by myself has very normal words, few keywords and achievements. Topresume expressed what I wanted to say but in a very professional manner with more keywords and outlined my achievements clearly. Probability of getting my resume picked is doubled than before. I'm very happy that even though I spent some money for getting my cover letter and resume written by professionals, it is totally worth it.

My experience with CVNow was extra-ordinary. They have changed the wording, style & structure in my resume to reflect my real & professional accomplishments, instead of listing tasks I had, professionally highlighting excel performance needed by the job market in specific industry job searcher is looking for, and helping CV to pass employers' professional scanning system to get your dream job & bright future. I strongly recommend any one looking for successful job search to directly deal with CVNow, don't miss the chance or waste your time.

Exceptional Service
December 20, 2016

Having been put into contact with CV Now I am thoroughly confident that my new updated CV has the potential to promote me in the right areas.
The service from start to finish was great with continued communication making for a smooth transition.
I would recommend CV Now to anyone looking to produce their first CV to anyone that was looking to update, and revitalise, their existing CV.

Heather K from CV Now did a wonderful job with my CV. She transformed my CV from basic to great. It is now much more professional and succinct. She worded it in such a way and my accomplishments, experience and talents really shone through in my CV. I am very happy with the service I received. Within two weeks of posting my new CV online I was selected for two interviews. StellaH

A great CV facelift
December 20, 2016

I had the opportunity to use CVNow's service to give my CV a facelift. After a few interactive sessions, the end result was remarkable. If you are a professional who is having a hard time getting interview calls because of your CV layout, then I strongly recommend CVNow. You'll not be disappointed.

I am a professional nutritionist and my resume was rewritten by Sawyer, he truly did a great job. He rephrased, edited and format my resume, it looks very professional now, it is concise and presents what I achieved and what impact I had in every role I worked in rather than what tasks I completed. Although I haven't applied for jobs yet with my new resume, I feel much more confident which makes a big difference. Reading my resume, I feel like I am a professional and that all my skills and knowledge and work experience are included in my resume. I could review the draft and he was happy to edit it until I was completely happy. It was worth the money I spent. Thanks

At first i was unsure the way the writer laid it out. So wrote back with the changes and it was positive feed back. These guys know what they are doing. My only reason for the 4 stars is the guarantee was not mentioned at any point after the initial 60 days, no where could i find any explanation on what the conditions are. Other than that all i can say is great service friendly demeanour.

I received an email from my CV Now writer with an overview of my current CV. He managed to polish it and worked with me to make it more professional and adaptable to different job applications. I highly recommend the basic package I signed up to.

What a joke
December 15, 2016

"You have got to be kidding me" was the first thought that came to mind when I saw my CV produced by a company that is supposed to specialize in CV writing. I cannot believe the astonishingly underwhelming product that they turn out. I obviously should have done more research before I donated my money to CVnow. All they did was copy and paste my resume into the format of what they consider a "CV". I honestly cannot send this piece of trash to anyone and expect a call back. They even wrote "Project Managerger" ON THE VERY TOP OF THE FINAL DOCUMENT.

If you are in need of the most amateur display of CV writing or enjoy throwing money away CVnow is your answer.

CVnow do not contact me! I repeat do not reply to this or expect me to contact you. I do not have facebook and I know your ZERO refund policy. My money back is the only thing that would make me alter my opinion of your semi-illiterate thieving company.

I needed to update my CV to make it suitable for the UK job market and I was impressed with the result. The consultants managed to put all info I requested and I was also very happy with the format in the end. It gave me a clear idea on how the job market looks at candidates.
I strongly recommend such a service, especially if you have several job experiences in different service sectors.

Professional Experience
December 14, 2016

It was a pleasure, an honer and on of my greatest experiences using CVNow services.

The whole team was very polite, kind, helpful and above all they were extremely professional.

The way that the conducted and built my CV and structured my career experience has helped so far in a lot of job opportunities and I'm assure that much is coming.

Great refresh of my CV
December 9, 2016

I knew my CV wasn't all it could be, so I looked around some sites. CVNow offered a free appraisal service, which caught my eye. I submitted my CV and they made insightful comments and showed how it would appear to an electronic scanning service. I signed up for a rewrite of my CV and a cover letter! The CV was ready in about 10 days, and the drafting service was very collaborative. I'm delighted with the CV and cover letter I now have. I've had 2/2 follow ups for consultancy posts in the few days since I've been using the CVNow documents. Really pleased and consider it money very well spent.

Cv now first tempted me with a free analysis of my cv and responded with some valid comments. This made me buy their service. Their pre questionnaire is good as it narrows down and makes for a more personalized service. Response was good and turnaround fast. No need for me to revise. Their LinkedIn service was also good. Sofar no interviews but I have only applied for 3 jobs since i got the new cv and cover letter.
