Efficient, quick and friendly

From reviewing my current CV and delivering a new and improved CV only took a matter of days. Great communication and prompt replies. I was paired with a writer who understood my reasons and expectations and delivered a brilliant new CV and cover letter.

I would recommend Top CV to family and colleagues due to my positive experience.

I used their service for a quick free…

I used their service for a quick free CV review, but it felt more like a tactic to upsell their professional packages. The feedback I received seemed generic, as if no one actually took the time to properly go through my CV. It felt like a quick skim at best—or possibly even automated. Key details like my recent job and education were completely off, which made me doubt if anyone reviewed it seriously at all.

As a designer, I found their critique contradictory—they said my CV wasn’t “nice” enough, then two sentences later advised me to ditch a carefully designed PDF made with Illustrator in favor of a plain Word document. Interestingly, they claim a print quality pdf with 756kb is too much. I mean an email can take at least up to 5mb attachment (some provider can do more), and so far all jobseeker page allowed me to upload it, so not sure why this is a problem for them.
One thing is I agree with that some hr software would not really capable to decipher the data in there, but tbh I'm really okay with that. Overall it's a scamy scamy scam scam for a quick buck. The basically creating for you a generic doc file with your data that can be easily automated.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your feedback, and we're sorry the review felt generic. Our advice is geared toward ATS compatibility, but we understand it may not suit every profession. We appreciate your input and are here if you'd like to discuss it further.

it is very constructive and feels like a mind-reader.
Overall delivery is great, the only problem is my country (Australia) is not open for international experience.
I wish this will help me to get back to job market with stepdown two levels from past role.

Copy-pasted advice

I received what appears to be a generic, copy-pasted review of my CV, which inaccurately criticised my "organisation." In reality, the different sections of my CV are clearly labelled and separated with dividers. The reviewer also failed to consider the unique requirements of various fields; for instance, a designer's CV being ATS compliant means it may not be aesthetically well-designed.

Additionally, it was suggested that I used AI in my CV, which is completely false. Even if the "reviewer" used software to check for this, such tools are notoriously unreliable, reflecting further incompetence.

The reviewer also claimed that my CV was too large despite being under one megabyte. I must restate the importance of considering different fields when assessing - most designers' CVs are typically far larger than mine. The review said it could not access my contact information or location, which are displayed on my CV.

I found it extremely rude that I was labelled a "low-level candidate." This kind of language is unprofessional and unacceptable, especially from someone trying to provide me with a service. It would be clear to anyone genuinely reviewing my materials that I am a young professional (two years post-graduation) seeking junior to intermediate roles, for which I am typically well-qualified (not a "low-level candidate"). Instead, the CV review relied on a single, narrow standard of what constitutes a good CV, which is largely ineffective for most individuals.
