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 contacted TopCV as I got a number of rejections from different companies. So, I thought my CV was not well written. Amy helped me in drafting a much more appealing CV. Now I am proud of my new CV!

New Resume
February 9, 2021

On several occasions, different recruiters and human resources people had mentioned to me that my resume was designed around activities I performed, rather than accomplishments within the companies I had worked for.
After working with TopResume, I saw the big difference between my previous resume vs. the one designed by the company's staff.
Above all, the professionalism of the staff helped me to better understand how to structure a resume.

Hi

Philip helped me with my CV and Cover Letter. I am very satisfied with the result and i
Felt that he knew what to use, what not to use in my new and updated CV/Cover Letter.
I also appreciated the new format where the information is easy to read and digest.
I have sent it out my new CV/Cover Letter and have gotten some responses.
But I think that I will see a greater response rate in the coming weeks.

Thx

My experience with TopCV
March 11, 2021

Since the person assigned to me was supposed to have relevant industry recruitment knowledge, I had asked the person to comment if there's any knowledge and/or experience gap identified while preparing my CV. He ignored my queries despite multiple attempts. I also put forward my wish to highlight certain strength in my resume but no additional effort was put in rather than just accepting the redlines I have provided. However, he did turn around the draft pretty timely which is beyond my expectations.

My initial skepticism was wrong
February 9, 2021

Having not been getting very far at job applications I begrudgingly deciders to give top cv a go. They were really good and turned round a really good looking CV very quickly. Very happy when I apply for roles now.

The resume is simply unacceptable and could not be presented to a potential employer. The process of having to instruct a "professional" on basic grammar became overwhelming and frustrating. The very reason I reached out for assistance from professionals was due to time constraints and assumed that native english speakers would be assigned the task of writing my resume. I did not anticipate that I would have to personally rewrite my entire resume after paying for this service.

I wrote a review then reached out to customer service requesting either a refund to be issued or to be provided with an experienced professional writer to edit my resume. I was informed that I could pay an additional £50 for extended revisions since the 7 day automated timeframe had elapsed. It is disheartening that this company stands behind such a poor representation of a resume.

I strongly caution others against purchasing the services provided by TopCV. They clearly do not stand behind quality work and it is rather disheartening to have paid so much for so little.

Scam
March 9, 2021

Don't waste your money. They made my resume worse. It was created by software. There are grammatical errors, context doesn't make sense. I gave my feedback, it's been 5 days I haven't heard from my writer or the support team. This is basically fraud..

I was pretty impressed with the detailed analysis it provided. But was highly disappointed with the rates for resume writing. Start price of £99 is a joke for just resume writing with the keywords and especially for candidates who are looking for a job.
