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.

Great honest critique
April 24, 2019

Hi all,
I'm a recent graduate student, I honestly didn't expect much when i'd uploaded my CV. Having gone to my uni career advisors, I had thought my CV was strong. However, since I was failing to get much interviews then something is definitely off.

TopCv is after testing my CV business application filters. The feedback I received has been very helpful and advice given was well placed. Although, I would have liked if they recommended more areas that required improvement.

Thank you TopCV, particularly Katie.

This is a scam and horribly formatted and out of date template, filled with typos, generic template. No effort is made to make the CV about me, it is just a mess of jargon. The questionnaire i have completed has been ignored.
Still chasing them for a response but no answer.
A lady called Katie tried her best to get help for me but no one from this company is interested.

Great feedback
April 20, 2019

To be honest I wasn't in a great space when I wrote my original
CV. So when I received feedback on it I was shocked. It gave me the kick I needed. After making the suggested changes and re-posting it. A day later I received an offer for an interview and almost immediately a job offer.

Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it xx

This is a scam. Don't be fooled by the free review like I was. It sounds promising, but what you end up with, is a horribly formatted dated template, filled with nonsensical, generic blurb. No effort is made to make the CV about you, it is just a mess of jargon. The questionnaire you complete will be ignored, my CV could be written for anyone. After weeks of complaining I got a second draft, this time by one of their more senior writers. This one was worse, with many spelling and grammatical errors.

RESULTS
April 18, 2019

I uploaded my CV for an evaluation. It was free and to be completely honest I didn't expect much. First thing next morning I found the evaluation e-mail in my inbox. An accurate, detailed report about everything I needed to know. After correcting my CV, responses from jobs FINALLY started to come. I am so thankful for this. I would have never thought of these things by myself, so I trusted the pros. I highly recommend this service to everyone.

CV writing
April 18, 2019

Hi, I am EKEMEZIE DARLINGTON, I tried out the CV review on the site and I will totally say that I got the most honest and helpful solutions ever. My CV was reviewed which earlier before now was just disjointed and didn't get me the opportunities I wanted when employers place them on a scale to weigh the value and quality of stuff included in the CV but with this review I have seen where adjustments need to be done and will also advise everyone both professionally and executive to try out this site https://www.topcv.co.uk/cv-writing and get a proper CV for your self to be ranked best by recruiters.

Regards

I had been using my old CV on an online job site and received an email from Jenna at TopCV explaining that I could send my CV to her and she would review it. I was 100% sceptical but desperate, so I uploaded it and was amazed to get an extremely useful review back the next day. It looked so professional that I thought it was a generic review at first but I realised that my own words and phrases were quoted and I then took it as a serious aid and followed Jenna's advice to completely transform my CV into a much improved version. I was then able to upload my CV and a potential employer had already noted that it is excellent. It is helping me to sell myself effectively to the right employers.
I was then offered a check of my new version for a fee but I didn't feel that I needed to do that. I've recommended the service to my boyfriend because he is looking for a job over 65k and I can see from Jenna's advice that he could improve it with support.
Overall, the CV review was unexpectedly useful.

The review had many good comments and pointed out weaknesses and flaws I never thought of. For a free CV review, it is a mistake not to try them!

TopCV's actionable recommendations differ from those provided by other services in that TopCV's expert reviewers take extreme care in helping employees draft a CV that is certain to attract the employers. I was thrilled to know that my extensive professional experience was understated by the over usage of task based statements that I had used in my CV. Their recommendations really helped me craft a CV that projected my work in a completely new light.

Impressed
April 5, 2019

My CV came out very well written and extremely professional, I was very impressed with the outcome. Their free initial CV evaluation is also top-notch.

However, I did feel that my revisions were written slightly lazier than the original draft, and sometimes my additions were copied and pasted into the CV completely unedited by the writer.

But on the whole, I am definitely more proud of my CV and feel that it is helping me achieve more in my job search.

The review offered was objective and specific to my situation. It provided actionable points that I was aware of but could not find a clear way to rectify. I have used to make the necessary changes and hope for the best in the future.
