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.

Wonderful service, and now I am getting answers from recruiters.
Thanks a lot!
My experience with CVNow was excellent for lack of a better word, the service was quick, prompt and on the subject and the suggestions that I received opened my eyes to the mistakes I was doing with my old CV and helped me tremendously in building my CV in a professional manor. Shortly after my I redone my CV and wanted to test it with some employers, I already received interview offers very quickly, 1 employer actually called me a few hours after I applied. I was amazed of the impact.
So thanks CVNow and Katie for all your help!
Sincerely,
Elian
Turned my Bloated 4 page + CV into a snappier more visually appealing CV. Quick response and I also had the included linkedin upgrade which I have used to make my profile more professional.
My resume with CVNow changed exceptionally in a professional way that is polished, organized and elegant word based. My writer captured what I wanted to say in a few sentences but with maximum efficiency.
Excellent work done upgrading my CV. It looks much more professional and elegant. As soon as posted my CV, I Started getting interview calls. I highly recommend using their service. Thank you CV NOW
I'm not the proud owner of what I regard a good looking CV with a professional feel to it.
I was offered a free evaluation of my CV from one of the Oil&Gas websites. Since my current CV was last updated professionally 8 years before I saw this as an opportunity.
I received the evaluation in less than one day and after reading the reviews by other users I opted for the top of the line review. Why? I knew there were major gaps in my current CV and I also knew that I didn't have the necessary skills to do this myself.
After subscribing I received my questionnaire from Sky which I immediately completed. Long story real short my draft CV and my finished CV was in my hands in less than 1 week. I am totally satisfied with the product I received and have recommended this service to my fellow workers.

The CV etc look great. However, the five working day lead-time actually took almost two weeks with no contact from the writer. This is despite that I only had a couple of minor requests that needed adding
Not sure if my writer was in The UK or some far flung place but only received updates after 10PM at night- Not sure why? Having said that I am happy with my package although I have not had a single interview since the new CV was developed and my LinkedIn profile has fewer hits than before - Not sure if thats just the time of the year but the guaranteed interest in me as an individual has not materialised
Excellent services. My CV and cover letters were reviewed on time and withinin the deadlinewith expected standards... Thank you CVnow...
I consider CV now's CV/Covering letter- one of the best services they offer to the job seekers. Very responsible writers & customer service team. Apt words /Sentence used to the relevant experience of your's to display your accomplishments to the employer. Committed to come to back you within the timelines & very fast service. Over all wonderful experience with the CV now team & writer assigned.

Im not so good with englush and its very big help for me to work with CVnow. I very OK! Best regards!
After a slight delay in getting started the company provided an upfront refund, the work was completed in good time and the outcome was very professional.
I also believe the return on my job applications has increased since starting to use my new cv. Overall very satisfied.
I do not hesitate to recommend CVnow. Their writer did a wonderful job of updating and reformatting my CV. I was kept informed regarding each stage of the process, and am extremely happy with the result.
All of you who need a help with your CV do not hesitate to contact Cvnow company for any advice or support.
I approached CVnow on 14th April 2016 to amend and to make my professional CV. CV writer took some time and I received my first draft on 30th April 2016 It was good but only 1 page detail. After a revision I uploaded it on various job sites but till now not a single serious response received. However hoping for soonest serious response.
Excellent company, reviewers and superb support form my CV. Prompt response and superb quality and professionalism.
Thank you Stephanie!

Well, I really wanted to get out of my job into something new, but it had been over 10 years since I had applied for jobs and although my CV looked okay in terms of content, I knew it needed a serious overhaul to improve how it came across, as, casting my critical eye over it, I'm not sure that I would have wanted to interview me! It just didn't highlight my skills at all, and given how many applications there are for a lot of jobs these days, well, you get the picture. I had always been skeptical about using a CV writing service in the past but thought that if I didn't try, I could still be stuck in the same job for another 10 years. So after filling in some details, what I was aiming for in terms of style, how it came across, and sending my old CV, I was signed up to the career evolution package, which offers a re-write of your CV, plus edits as needed. Within 1 day, I got it back and was amazed at the difference - it looked so professional and although it had been shrunk from 2 pages to 1, that only made it better. I can honestly say that I could have spent literally days and not been able to make it look that good. Even the HR director was really impressed. And, a few months, 3 job applications, 2 interviews later, I have been in my new job for a month and loving the change. Result! Thanks to CV Now for helping to give me the confidence by making my skills shine through enough for me to get noticed. I can't guarantee everyone will be as lucky, but it worked for me and I am telling people about it!
If there are reviews on here better than 1 star, I would have to questions who is posting them. CV Now is terrible. Their CV structure and wording is boiler plate and they DO NOT collaborate with you, but simply re-send the same CV until your time is up. You would do much better using a Word template and having a trusted friend or colleague critique your work. Do not waste your time using CV Now
I have purchased the CV writing service on the 11th April but did not even get the first draft till to date (24th May). I have been following up everyday but there is no progress at all. They offered me a free covering letter but there is no update after that. I'm yet to see my first draft. Totally disappointed and feel cheated with this company. Don't waste your time and money... it feels like a scam!
Hi Siva, I am very sorry to hear of the delays you've experienced, this should not be the case and I want to make sure you get taken care of as quickly as possible. If you could please send me a direct message on our Facebook page with your order information, I'll connect you with customer service and we'll work this out.
Answer: They're a scam - and they'll all rot in hell. I hope our responses here save some other poor souls their hard earned cash. Absolutely appalling service - they're bullies and extortionists at best. A bunch of cheap crooks who cost us our hard earned cash!
Answer: Hi Elena, Great question! Our resume writing process is collaborative between the writer and the client. We use your old resume as a primary source of information, but you will also be able to provide additional details via our questionnaire and in communication with your writer. It's as simple as that! Please let us know if there are any other questions you have. Thanks!
Answer: Don't believe them Tracy! It took them 2 weeks to finally send me something, and it was basically what I had sent them. I complained and they gave my CV to someone else -- with NO rush put on it of course, and 3 weeks later I'm still without my professional CV that is supposed to come with Satisfaction Guaranteed. Only problem is they don't know what that means!
Answer: Easier to ignore an email.
Answer: Hi Phoebe, Great question. In total the process typically takes one to two weeks to get your perfect CV. For more information on our services, please visit: https://www.topcv.co.uk/faq
