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.

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.

Complete Scam
July 3, 2018

Keep your distance!
I was allocated a CV writer who clearly knew nothing about my sector of work and produced two drafts that I could only describe as illegible. Nothing but a mad scramble of my own CV intended to be more punchy - but sadly lost any kind of meaning.
Complaints raised with my customer liaison officer led me to believe that I was writing to a BOT rather than a person.
Finally an hour with the customer service centre in South Africa before being passed over to the refund department.
My advice - do it yourself!

I had my c.v. reviewed, which I would never believe possible, in a professional way and for free. I was given very interesting advise aout content and format. I have always thought my cv was ok, but after reading the review I had to admit that many things needed to be improved. This demonatrates tha a different perspective is always important.
Thank you so much for your job!

I got the review very fast and I was surprised that it was done by a human and not by some cheap AI. Some one really spent time to read my CV and make notes for me. It was honest and constructive critique with hints what and how to fix.
I totally recommend TopCV.

Highly Recommended!
June 23, 2018

I was given an honest, straightforward and detailed review of my CV. It enlightened me about several important pointers I've never quite taken into consideration before. It was really amazing how much time was spent to thoroughly review my paper giving attention to every single detail. Overall, the review was very helpful and helped me a lot to restructure my CV to reflect my goals/experiences towards employers on a more professional manner.

Revamped my CV content and format within a couple of edits. Made it look very professional where it was previously just my best amaturish efforts.
I also received a professional sounding covering letter and LinkedIn Profile update as part of the package.

Would certainly recommend to anyone needing a CV make over.

Beware scammers

Unprofessional, do not respond to your emails, sun-standard CV written by someone who has no idea of my industry or apparently does not know how to research whatsoever. Stay away from these people.

Having had my CV reviewed by Katie Warren at TopCV recently I was very impressed with the results I received. Never had this done before and the review was spot on. Thought my own CV was good as had many interviews using it, but Katie explained how it could be even better. I will take onboard what she said and change it accordingly. With me changing jobs recently this review will put me in a better situation to hopefully further my career.

Well done to Katie and TopCV for providing such a great service.

5 stars to TopCV
May 31, 2018

Im finding harder than usual to bring headhunters attention lately. After more than 10 years experience working for international companies such as UEFA, The Walt Disney Company or PlayStation, it has become an issue to include all my professional skills and experience into that piece of paper called Curriculum Vitae (resume.) So I decided to contact TopCV in order to get professional advise regarding some of the essential information included in a resume: design & formatting, content & structure, keywords & skills. And I have to say that I am very happy with the revision they provided me with. I truly enjoyed the revision of my resume! Moreover, i found it very comprehensive and agreed with most of the points. They took the time to explain their method and elaborated on every point of their critique. 5 stars for them!

I tried TopCV with not much of an expectation neither on the speed of the return nor on the quality of the feedback. I was impressed with the outcome, which was provided in less than 24 hours. But more importantly the feedback was detailed, thorough and personalized. I felt like I can really make use of the feedback to create a better CV of myself!

You probably had the opportunity to experience applying for some job but never hearing from them again.
You don't know why. Was it you? Or your CV? Something third? Well, with TopCV you can get the honest insights of your CV by free, they gave me the detailed and thorough review of the CV and now I really know at which parts I need to improve. It gives me confidence and knowledge that my CV will be good next time when I apply for the job.
And if you don't want to hassle with the CV by yourself (righting CV is like science now), you can contact them, professionals to help you make the best possible resume.
