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.

Now I have a very professional CV that is polished looking and I am very happy I chose CV now to do this they provided an excellent service at a reasonable price.
Thanks again CV Now
I was very impressed with the review work done on my CV. It was a big challenge for me to revise my CV downwards to maximum 3 pages because I didn't want to leave out any of my experiences which I felt recruiters should know. However, CVNow did a great job and my CV is now abridged and appealing.
I would gladly recommend CVNow to anyone who wants to have a professional CV and cover letter.
Thank you!
I was very pleased with my final CV put together by CVNOW. They had taken the information I gave them and refined it and made it more presentable and professional looking. All this was done within a very short time frame. They even gave me the option to amend if necessary, but as it turned out this was not required. Highly recommended service.
I decided to take the CV critique offered by Katie. It highlighted errors which modern ATS software would show to Hiring Managers. My writer Nicole was professional and prompt with her re-write of my CV. The end result is a totally different document and superb covering letter. I have to put the CV and letter to the test now, so hopefully I will find my next role very soon.
I can highly recommend CV Now to anyone who needs a CV rewritten or someone starting out. I will certainly use them again and will spread the good word.
Many thanks Julian.
Very dynamic and smooth way of writting. Good communication, within the time limit.
The writer was very helpful and responding.
After an initial problem uploading mu docs to the CV Now site I had great communications from Joe my Writer. He understood requirements, provided accurate interpretations and produced an on time great end product. Great value!
The writer gave me a complete and to-the-point assessment of what was wrong with my old CV. Then proceeded to explain what she would do. The result was 100% was was promised. The service of CVNow exceeded my expectations
They had extracted the essence from my previous cv and wrote a new one in a professional style
The new one is short but so complete
The team worked on designing a CV that matched my qualifications. Was very impressed with the service and the attention to detail. Thanks
Professional service, very happy with my new CV and highly recommend this company to anyone looking to have their CV reviewed
I wasn't sure at first, but I wasn't getting the openings that I wanted. CV now is a great professional service that has opened up the job market to me.
Very helpful and I could never have written such a good CV.
I would definitely recommend CVNow to everyone.
Many thanks
When I was offered the service, I was fairly sceptical but it had been over 10 years since I had touched my CV so it was very out of date. After a few email exchanges, I had a professional looking CV and LinkedIn profile that really highlighted my strengths. I wouldn't have been able to make them look so good even if I had tried. Thank you CV Now!
These people are great, they help you with your CV, they can upgrade your skills and show you in a different way in order to show your CV better than before.
CVNow impressed me with their promptness and the quality of their work. The communication was great, I was able to express my opinions after the first draft was sent and so the writer could improve it to my liking. Overall, I was very pleased with this experience.
I was informed by this shower that they would be reaching out, one phone call stating they would be happy to provide me with someone more expert, what a joke, the writer should have been an expert in the first place.
I would like a refund of my money, BEWARE THEY DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS if you are not satisfied.
See below
Hind sight is a perfect science, be very aware, don't go near this shower, 1 star is to good

CV Now is totally misleading in their Marketing and capabilities.
I engaged them on their so called "Executive Priority Plan" at a cost of 249 Pounds Sterling.
They state " Well assign you to a professional CV writer specialised in your industry within one business day of receiving your questionnaire", and yes a writer was assigned within that time, however this person...

I was pleasantly surprised at the completed and new CV - professional and dynamic. Also, the feedback and emails were splended.
Had previously had my CV shaped by another company, and it was dated, I was looking for a company who would undertake the task of revamping my old CV.
I found CVNow, and I am glad that I did, as the service is brilliant and te delivery of the CV, application letter and Linked profile were excellently presented.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the company, as they delver what they say they do.
Thank you for your help with my order.
See you again in 2-3 years:-)
Answer: They're a scam - and they'll all rot in hell. I hope our responses here save some other poor souls their hard earned cash. Absolutely appalling service - they're bullies and extortionists at best. A bunch of cheap crooks who cost us our hard earned cash!
Answer: Hi Elena, Great question! Our resume writing process is collaborative between the writer and the client. We use your old resume as a primary source of information, but you will also be able to provide additional details via our questionnaire and in communication with your writer. It's as simple as that! Please let us know if there are any other questions you have. Thanks!
Answer: Don't believe them Tracy! It took them 2 weeks to finally send me something, and it was basically what I had sent them. I complained and they gave my CV to someone else -- with NO rush put on it of course, and 3 weeks later I'm still without my professional CV that is supposed to come with Satisfaction Guaranteed. Only problem is they don't know what that means!
Answer: Easier to ignore an email.
Answer: Hi Phoebe, Great question. In total the process typically takes one to two weeks to get your perfect CV. For more information on our services, please visit: https://www.topcv.co.uk/faq
