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.

Extremely pleased with the detail of the feedback given and advice on which areas require improvement. And this all for free! I'll rework my CV if still no joy then I'll consider paying for a re-write.

Overall i have enjoyed quality and professional service with the TopCV team and my assigned writer. The level of communication during the iteration phase was brilliant and the outcome was more than i expected. I recommend TopCV for the quality services they offer.

Scam and fake reviews
December 10, 2018

Do not trust this company. I have been trying to cancel their service within the hour of submitting after finding their service to be poor and lacking a good communicating service. I have a feeling they are like Purple CV and not based in the U. K. I was appointed to a Scott S and he refused to tell me his full name. I have waited over 1 week for them to cancel the service and all the department's are deliberately ignoring my request. Do not trust the company. P.S... some sites say they are based in UK some say states
They are a dodgy company with no correspondence addess and they coincidentally spam through genuine websites we use. THOSE WHO REVIEW BADLY REPORT THEM AND PROTECT CONSUMERS seek for compensation and as they have not offered what they advertised. Under the Consumers Act 2015 we have rights.

I thought my CV was the Dogs Dooda's, until I came across this service and I thought Hey what have I got to lose.
I thought they were bound to complement me on my personal CV.
HOW WRONGWAS I
They basically destroyed it and its the best thing that they could have done as i have now shown their criticisms and advice to family and friends and they all agree word for word with Jenna's findings.
So took the advice I was given and totally started again from scratch employing all the advice i was given.
Would definitely recommend this CV checker to every one looking for a new job or career irrelevant of who's written your CV, unless its Jenna of course.

I want to recommend TopCV.co.uk for great professionalism! I thought my CV was fine, but Katie gave me a very detailed explanation of the wrong parts and she told me what to correct. I recommend everyone to consult with this team.

Perfecto
December 8, 2018

It was a wonderful criticism that I got about my CV. Mostly many do not reply unless I take a paid service but they took out time and went through it minutely and gave a feedback about the contents in my CV and how to improve it on a free hand service and let it to me to decide whether to get my CV done unlike most companies which tries to bank on our ignorance.

Mainly, I feel all crucial points have been covered as in my C. V there was not much focus on achievements rather deep focus was on learning and doings which is honestly a good point to be noted. I believe a personal evaluation is very much more effective methodology as is rather than automated evaluation service. Thank you again.

Katie Warren kindly reviewed my CV and gave honest critical feedback. It made me realize the drawbacks of my CV. I wish I could afford the premium features such as professionally written CV service. I am grad student = I am broke. Maybe TopCV should revise their pricing model, as, I guess, most of their clients are grad students and BROKE indeed grad students are.

I just sent them my CV for a free evaluation and i got a response within a day with detailed and on point feedback. I haven't paid them to reorganize my CV so i have no idea about that service but i found their evaluation insightful and helpful.

I found the analysis and feedback invaluable. The critique was straight talking and direct but also instructive and positive. Good examples and guidance on how to make easy but high impact improvements. With so many recruiters and companies using screening and computer aided analytics of cvs you simply have to have advice on how to get your skills and experience recognised and present your career history in the best possible way. Strongly recommend.

Tasks have been added randomly which are not true
Important tasks have been deleted
Tasks have been swap between the organisation that previously worked
Wording is weak and look like a copy-paste of some google search which does not make sense
Overall made my CV and cover letter very bad, unprofessional, lie, confusing, etc
Not refunding my money and they believe I should love their version
Waste of time, money, hope

Very in-depth and insightful and advises not just on the structure and nitty-gritty of it but also the approach of writing the descriptions to sound more appealing and focus readers' attention on the relevant information.

Decided to have my CV updated as It was getting too long and not in the latest format. I filled in a questionnaire and enclosed a copy of my current CV. After only a few days the first draft of my new CV was sent for review. It had gone from 5 pages to 2 and the format had certainly changed. A few minor changes were required and then the 2nd draft was sent for approval. I then had a few conversations with the writer, who explained the reasons behind some questions I had regarding the information contained and the layout. I accepted his professional opinion and the final document was then sent to me, ready to send out. Excellent service and highly recommended.
