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.

Overall, while some clients had satisfactory experiences, a notable number expressed disappointment, suggesting a need for improved service consistency.

Excellent service quick to respond, completely rewrote my CV. Already recieved a couple of interviews
Great service and communication from writer. Can see the difference in my CV even though i have not had any interviews yet.
I've received a very professional service. The results were delivered on time and with an outstanding quality.
My CV has a new appearance and structure. It was done very professional and very quickly. The professional cv writer assigned to re-write my cv was very nice and she has reflected on great manner all my work experience
High quality job with a phenomenal turn around time.
The writer was assigned immidiately and the order was processed within a day.
I purchased two orders and both were top-notch.
From the moment I contacted them to receiving the final draft, I experienced only top quality service. I was very happy throughout the entire process and would happily recommend them to anybody looking to revitalize their CV.

Very quick, fast service and communication was always there between myself and the person who took my order, all of my comments were taken on board and listened too.
I would highly recommended CV. Now to everyone who is looking to have a CV professionally written.
Nicole B. From CVNow did an exellent work in rewritting my CV. Already from the first draft I learned how to present myself to new companies and recruiters. She not only rewrote the CV in a perfect way but also aroused my professioan ego that was a bit asleep! Congratulations CVNow
Thanks so much for upgrading my CV. Now my skills have been highlighted together with my experience and qualifications.
Good communications between me as a customer and personal re-writer
I paid 79 quid to get my CV professionally done, and it took over 2 weeks before I got basically the exact same CV that I sent them. Naturally, I complained and all they did was reassign my order to another writer, but with NO rush put on it. Now 3 weeks later I'm still waiting for my so-called Professional CV as they promise SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! What a joke... find another CV writing company... DON'T USE THIS ONE!
Extremely friendly people, answer to all the queries, deliver a good product in a very short time. Even when asked to correct something they do it promptly. Two thumbs up
The service is in time, and CV and Cover Letter look better, still need time to see the effect for job application.
Always keeping in touch with the objective of providing a good service and they did, I'm very satisfied with them.
Lack of proper communications, and low-quality products. I have been charged so much to see a significant results, but my CV and CL are both worse than my CV and CL.
Hi May, We appreciate you reaching out with your honest review and want to assure you this will be sorted out. If you could please send us a direct Facebook message with your full name and email, a customer support rep will get back to you right away.
I found the free evaluation of my CV helpful, I was able to upgrade my CV and gain a post on the back of free advice.
However I saw CVNow as an investment in my professional development and they have helped me to produce a polished and professional CV,
I found communication via email to be good although some responses felt a little bit automated, My suggestions and queries where taken on board during revision periods and response times between drafts was ok.
I have recommended to friends
At first I was sceptical that the free evaluation of my cv was purely marketing. But when I got the feedback back with very specific, objective points that needed rectifying, I was sure there was scope to improve my CV a lot. CVNow did a good job in transforming my CV in terms of content, look and feel, structure/size and most importantly made it achievement-based (with input of me of course).
The final plus point was I asked for a second "ATS" scan that examined how the automatic systems see the CV that many employers/job sites use. It needed quite a bit of further work and tweaking to make it really good, and even though that was after the review period, CVNow handled this really helpfully without any quibbles.
I'd certainly recommend them and use them again
Would highly recommend this service to anyone. I chose the premium option and I was extremely impressed by the quality of the work and the turnaround - wish I had used CVNow earlier - my CV and linkedin page now looks professional, and my CV is now getting me interviews! Thank you!
It is too early yet for me to speak of results as to landing on the dream job, but I am very pleased with the CV Now work on my resume and other documents they prepared for me.
I heard of them through a complementary CV feedback I received via a job application. The feedback was very thorough and I'd say accurate too. One of the authors shared CV diagnosis information which I had come across in conversations with other jobseekers too, so I knew that the feedback was not just a 'salesy' tool. I took a the step towards requesting professionally written resume for a couple of reasons. 1. because I had done multiple resume versions myself and still didn't think they fully portrayed my abilities. 2. because CV writing professionals know what headhunters look for in a CV and what the current demands are, and therefore can tailor words and descriptions more effectively.
3. for a professional look of my resume - format tailored to my target industries, easy to read and bringing to the surface my skills
The people I was communicating with were regularly in touch - enquiring relevant information and updating me with timescales etc. I received my documents earlier than estimated and they were at very good standard. Feedback work was also quick and precise.
I am now in a process of active job hunt and so much more confident that I will land on a desired role in near future. No doubt this requires a personal effort, but with the right CV tool is so much easier for tailoring a resume to specific roles and also time saving.
I would recommend this investment to anyone who wants to feel confident in their job search.
I used CVnow to update a tired CV and to obtain an inspiring cover letter. I am very happy with the delivery of both, in the time frame promised as well. I am getting the responses I wanted for new opportunities.
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
