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.

After getting a few interesting tips, I decided to go for the most premium package they have.
What I got back is a CV which is very badly conceptualized and executed.

Not even the the tips I received in the first review were integrated in the new version and the style which was used to describe my achievements was very bad - as if they pay the writers from Romania to write it.

Very meek reaction from customer service following my complaint. They do not care about providing a quality product and I already paid, so it is my problem.

They are thieves
September 27, 2019

Stay away from this company. They cannot write a CV worthy of a school leaver. Their grammar, spelling and layout is awful. They will just keep sending you rewrites which are the same.

When you ask for your money back, they will refuse.

They are thieves.

Extremely disappointed with the service. Cover letter did not make any sense at all and you could tell that it was not written by a person. Also felt that the CV writer didn't have a clue about what job I was aiming for. Do not use.

Not solving the issue
September 23, 2019

Was not a solution oriented thing. More like a "trying to sell a product for whatever it takes" type.

Absolutely disappointed
September 22, 2019

Absolutely disappointed with the Top CV UK. They made two drafts of my CV from two different writers, supposedly the best suited for drafting my CV. Both drafts lacked content, had gramitical errors and not to mention the choice of language was extremely poor. They also refused to refund the amount point blank and left the project undone.
Noticed they use standard template and add a few key words for softwares to pick. Unbelievably, bad job and extremely frustrating experience. Rishi Vig Group CFO, UAE.

The initial feedback on my CV was A grade. However, felt the download was not given properly to the CV writer who has a half baked information on what currently i do & what i want to achieve with this new look CV. Hope the second draft is as per my expectation.

Decent free CV review
September 19, 2019

The CV review was informative, free and within a day. However, then they start spamming you with multiple emails a day for their paid services.

I assumed it would be an automated service but was pleasantly proved wrong. The critique I got from John was insightful, incredibly so!

He discussed the points I missed and highlighted parts that would suggest a different message (than I thought) to potential recruiters. I got many takeaways from the evaluation and would recommend TopCV anytime. And to think that the critique was completely free!

Well, I realize my glowing review reads like it is fake but nope. They deserve all the praise for their wonderful service. Thanks, John :)

Actually my resume was already checked by a human resources professional in Turkey, and it was edited. However when I read the comments of Katie from TopCV regarding my resume, I see that there is a lot more needs to be changed. I think I would never see those points by myself, I am not an expert in writing resume as I only made a job search for three times in my lifetime. There is no doubt that TopCV has evaluated lots of resumes and they really know how to make your resume stand out the crowd, actually marketing your resume in the best applicable way. All that I can say is that I am really amazed by their service and I definitely believe that my new resume will give me the chance of being employed in the right position matching my career, expectations and skills set. It is just like a sickness, you cannot generally diagnose yourself even though you feel that something is wrong, lets assume that you made a correct diagnosis, you cannot know which medicines you should take or what kind of treatment you need, all you do is to go to a doctor and get the job done, now I see it is the same way with writing a resume, you need to see TopCV, I am sure you are going to feel much better! I heartedly thank you for the evaluation of my resume! All th3 best and greetings from Turkey!

All the comments and description of corrections needed to be done were 100% true and useful. Before i was thinking that i've worked enough on my CV and surprised that nobody appreciated, but after i sow the feedback from TopCV i realised that my CV really undersells me.
Very clear and effective service!

An excellent review, pointing out every single weakness, even the type of language, and it is free of charge. What more can you ask for? A, yes, they show you a graph with the industries, where it is most probable to qualify, based on the automatical job candidate selection engines!

Very well done to the 'brains' behind this service; I did receive a detailed and relatively long email back about how to improve my CV.
Even though I new some of the critics it was good to have them spelled out and explained by a professional.
I need now to implement the advice and if/when needed I know who I will contact for a professional help on my CV and cover letter.
