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.

Professional and efficient service
January 14, 2020

I am very pleased with the service I received from Top Resume. My writer was very professional. She took time to ask questions to understand my experience and goals and delivered updates in a timely manner. The final result was great and I feel much more confident in submitting my resume to job applications.

Good but...
January 10, 2020

TopCV reviewed my CV and gave a thorough analysis very promptly and some very useful pointers. They are obviously after my business but they appear to demonstrate that they will do a good job. I have to say I'm quite tempted as I don't like writing CVs and I'm sure I'm not showing myself in the best light.

One thing I was picked up on was the layout. I had just used a template from Pages and I'm prepared to admit it could be done better, but I was less than impressed by the layout they had on the samples; to my eye they looked like something from the 1890s.

Part of the challenge of being a human writing a CV is that CVs are apparently often read by machines, so one of my top skills, for instance, appears to be sewage, when the line I wrote was
"I shot films for Oxford University about research projects on the brink of commercialisation and films covering sustainable science such as electricity generation from sewage and energy efficient OLED lighting.", the thrust being that you need them to write your CV so they can run it through the software and check that it looks good.

That's all OK, but I can't give 5 stars to an outfit that appear unable to see my name written across the top of the document in huge letters and call me Mr Botany House.

Interactive and proactive coworking to improve the way you see yourself... and then as the others should see you.
It is not so much a matter of who you are, but how you tell the story of how you are what you are today, for being able to sell it better.
Proactiveness, quik reaction, i am very grateful and happy of the help i received.
I shall probably repeat when needed.

Primrose CV

It was eye opening. I have been able to include my profile and also eliminate a lot of unnecessary detail. I have changed the language from doer to achiever. I have added more key words and skills as well. The visual impression has been changed too.
