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.

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!

Professional and precise
February 25, 2017

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.

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was offered the service, I was fairly sceptical but it had been over 10 years since I had touched my CV so it was very out of date.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!

Reaching out is a joke
February 7, 2017

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...

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:-)
