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.

No interviews yet...
February 12, 2016

I was given a very nice rework of my resume with my skills being highlighted. But I have yet to get a call or interview. It is still within their 60 day guarantee so I hope to get an interview soon.

A 2-year-old would have achieved more. THE CV I SUBMITTED TO THEM WAS FAR BETTER THAN THE RUBBISH THEY PRODUCED. I went elsewhere and paid for the same service as these crooks and received a CV worlds apart! Notice how they dont use PayPal?
STILL NO REFUND DESPITE ASKING TWICE!

CVnow were able to use key words in my CV that recruiters look for, always check spelling and dates though as some were in correct.

I was sceptical about getting my CV professionally written, but I am so glad I did! The team at CVnow were quick to respond, happy to accommodate any questions and queries and made it an easy and interactive process. I was impressed at how they were able to take my existing resume and spruce it up, while still making it sound like me.
There was a bit of confusion in my writer understanding the roles/responsibilities of my some of my jobs, but with some backwards and forwards emails, Nicole was dedicated and patient in delivering me the perfect CV.

Excellent, worth it
February 2, 2016

Was worth the money for the CV rewrite. Got 2 interviews immediately, but waiting to hear results. Very professional in feedback from questions asked and explanations to questions. CV kept to just under two pages.

Interviews Already
February 1, 2016

Used this service whilst they were offering a discount. Glad I did, 9 replies in the first week of posting the CV, with recruiters complimenting me on the CV. Helpful and professional writer who did 3 drafts for me, and after following her advice I was able to really focus on why type of job and industry I was applying for - been in the same job for 21 years prior to this. Very happy with the service and am highly recommending it. With 35 years of experience Patricia cut it down to concise and ordered key points. I am now getting interviews and interest from recruiters with a salary on offer of between 7K - 10K more than my current salary.

CV review Danielle
January 29, 2016

Prompt, efficient and courteous service from start to finish. Revamped and refreshed my CV which hitherto had failed to shine with potential employers. The new version is far more relevant and focuses on my skill sets. Thanks Danielle

Hi everyone!

I sgined up for the basic CV review package for £75 (am based in the UK) and received two different versions of my CV, I was a bit sceptical at first but within the first week of submitting my new CV to job portals and to advertised vacancies I am already receiving 1/3 more interest and incrased profile views on Linked in! Jacob was affable and friendly and despite having a non linear career path, managed to make the best out of my project work. Would thoroughly recommend exploring how CVNow can help you, the more details you are on what you are seeking the better!

Kind regards

Really great service
January 27, 2016

The new year resolution has been to have my CV updates and re written since I was receiving job vacancy alerts not in line with what I was looking for. My experience with CV Now has been really good, professional and satisfying since I receive a CV my skills stand up for what they are. Great experience with the writer was assigned to me.
Posting my CV everywhere now... looking forward for seeing the results.

I knew my CV was old and tired looking, and that a major revamp was required.
I had seen Cvnow online and decided to give them a try.
Carol was assigned to me, and she did an awesome job in updating an d modernising my CV.
She even amended it with versions 2 and 3, due to my own mistake in not giving her all the information to be included - and she did this without grumbling about the rework I caused her.
I am now thrilled with my new resume, and have no hesitations in recommending Cvnow to anyone.
Thanks for everything Carol:-)

Cvnow transformed my 5 pages Cv to 2 capturing all skills and experiences. The service I received was quick, responsive and has transformed my CV 100%. The only thing after 3 weeks I still not getting any interview invitation based on new CV and I still unsure whether this CV is really good or not.

My CV was professionally updated by this company and it is now modern and employer friendly. My old CV was written 16 years ago... and couldn't I tell. It is now uploaded to my preferred job sites and am awaiting some responses. All in all a very friendly and efficient service. Thank you Danielle.

My CV was updated quickly and with ease. Staff were professional and courteous.
After reading reviews from other customers regarding relevance of CV's to the UK job market. The relevance of my updated CV and whether it is what employers are looking for remains to be seen.
