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.

I am overall really satisfied with my end product of a fantastic, new and shiny CV. I can't believe I was reading about myself.

There are lots of companies out there claiming to write your CV for you, however CV have produced what they said on their tin!

I have had lots of positive feedback, been contacted by future employers and am being considered for various roles.

I submitted my CV to CV now for a free review and this CV had been completed by another CV writing company which will remain nameless. The standard between the two is huge with CV now providing a far superior product.

My writer who I worked with was very helpful and took on board my feedback and together have produced my current CV, which I am proud of.

The customer service for CV is outstanding and I can honestly say, if you are thinking of using a CV writer... CV now is definitely a company worth considering.

I don't often post reviews, write any blog, use twitter, or give any feedback, however I felt writing a positive review is justified.

Well worth their competitive pricing.

I love the layout and summary blurb that CV Now wrote for me. It has made me aware of quite how good I really am and sold me better to potential employers. Great work! Thank you. I highly recommend the service. It wasn't without a couple of typos hence only 4 stars, but still brilliant.

My job search got off to a very slow start. A friend recommended cvnow.com, I contacted them and got thorough and constructive feedback. My cv writer was great, my new cv has caught recruiter's attention. I would definitely recommend cvnow.com.

I selected and forwarded my CV for amendments. In the meantime I choose the wrong payment plan. CV now responded with deliverable deadlines for my new CV. I advised them that I selected the wrong payment plan and they refunded my money. Their deadline dates for my new CV did not change.
Also just before my timeline for amending my CV they contacted to advise that my time line was running out.
Excellent Service

I was happy with the my new CV received. What I liked about it is that they did not completely change the CV, but enhanced the critical parts that I needed, which were the key words used in search engine searches. Bieng an Environmental professional, it is a technical field and I think they did well to include key industry words and also the format was very good and clear. As a result a good service.

From the start to the finish, the service provided was excellent. I was kept informed at all times whilst my CV was being rewritten, and nothing was to much for Karen who did a wonderful job. There were a lot of explanations to back up some of the rationale behind the formatting and content which was most useful. I can highly recommend CVNow to anyone seriously looking at getting their CV updated professionally.

Although had a working experience of more than 11 years, I was never bothered to polish, what more to practice good CV writing and stuff. It was a great service from CVNow, that my CV went from being only a single pager to sufficiently be in two pages, it is now much more concise, sounds and looks very professional. Looking forward to get the first respond from a new employer :)

Being on the job hunt for a few months, I have received lots of advertising about CV reviews. I discovered that a friend, who recently lost had received, like me, the free review... but surprisingly, even though we have completely different CVs, we had received identical reviews, with only the name that changed... from all companies except CVNOW. I decided then to give it a go, especially with the possibility of paying in 3 payments, with no hassle!
They are very professional and were able to bring out more about me than any recruiter... and as I told CVNOW, "I've gone from 0 interviews to... 9! And all following this CV review last week!". I don't think it's luck, I think it's the people who work there. I proudly recommend them, 6 stars out of 5!

Just received 1st draft of my CV from cvNow.co.uk and have to say it is shocking. Obviously written by someone to whom English is not their first language and has no clue about the IT industry. I have requested a full refund- wonder where I will get with that.

Delivers as promised
November 24, 2016

Good CV re-write effort. Six pages of 30 year history got condensed to 2 meaningful pages. The full service including the LinkedIn page re-write may not be worth it as the changes were seeming not as well thought out, and the delivery was a week past the commitment date. I recommend the lowest or second level service.
