Purplecv.co.uk Review

I was dumb enough to buy the most expensive kit for professional CV service, cover letter and I was offered nothing but a total joke. The new “specialist CV” is full of inaccurate facts, copied from company websites, phrases that make no sense, my real career is unrecognizable, and if ever sent out the language can only be described as leading to immediate career suicide. I specifically asked for a European writer, for someone who has no resemblance to me or my career at all what I got can best be called an over the top sales pitch. Slow and non-reactive customer service, despite my order containing 2 updates within a 7 day timeframe, a promised review never came through. Stay away from PurpleCV!!

With the CV  I got back from Purplecv, I was extremely upset. The only thing I could have done about Word CV sample search was the style that was modified, the words were exactly the same and there were spelling errors on top of that. Don’t use PurpleCV  to waste your money. Go to Word and browse for CV template. They had the gall to want me to write a new CV. I hope they’ve been joking. I contacted the BBB and eyewitness news because I needed my money back and I would not be refunded by the purple cv. They guarantee an interview with you and I didn’t get one interview with the cv they gave me. I used my previous cv, and with that, I got an interview. People don’t waste your money again using the purplecv. They didn’t even know my right name to top it off. They used the name of the email address instead of using my name, not the spelling of my full name, and my name was clearly on the cv.

I really need support to turn a top notch cv of so much money into something more down to earth and connected, as I really have to have a cv that can flourish in my new life with me. First, for over a week, they could not find a cv writer. They offered to write a thank you letter for FREE when I contacted them. Ok, who am I going to thank? I still haven’t got a cv. Then my mother dies, horror of horrors, and I run to Oxfordshire to be with my family. Then, I got an expert CV writer, but then she left, and the process began all over. When I actually got my first draft, it looked like it had been composed by a 6th grader. Complete with words misspelled. I was sad and disappointed and requested a full refund which they said can’t be done until the cv writing process is underway. Now to dispute the charges, I have my bank involved and they are still competing with my bank.

I had purplecv review my cv because I wasn’t getting hits from the jobs I was applying for, you can expect anything with over 35 years of experience in my profession. Their analysis made some format and material suggestions, ” I was a doer, not an achiever per my cv” I sent it to a friend in HR who came back with the same comments when I got the new formatted cv, although the format was better it still didn’t show me as an achiever, even though I had sent a list of achievements to purple cv. I got a lame excuse and basic guidance to make the changes myself when I questioned purple cv about this. A waste of my time and resources. 7 days is not ample time for an examination.

They didn’t even give me a proper cover letter or CV from my CV writer. They told me it was my fault that she did not give her enough details to submit her final drafts to me. Which I can’t open on my own to edit. I sent out the format and CV of the cover letter that I received. No work interviews though.

I called for my cv to be received earlier. This offered me 48-hours of choices to get. After sending several emails, I got my first draft in 3 days, submitted revisions and did not hear back for a week. In addition, the revision sent to me by the original person on what I could change was not adhered to, so it was a complete hypocrisy. Is the 2nd draft something sharp or intense that honestly looks like it was written by a high school student(not the expert CV writer) and its 2 full pages? I am not aware of any other seasoned people for recruitment/staffing but I will never look at a second page as a recruiter in the past? And to start customer service, they just kept asking again and again what the issue was… I had to describe it so many times to myself. A utter waste of money, that purplecv is! Don’t get the pace, it’s probably going to take longer for you.

I regret that I haven’t read such cv reviews before… It even happened to me… They’re such a joke! I submitted my cv and I didn’t hear from them after almost one week. But I’ve written to complain again. I got a reply from someone who replied that my cv was waiting to be accepted… The day after I got an email from Bill, another “professional cv writer” told me that my previous cv writer was no longer available and that he was taking care of me. A few days later, I had a cv that was roughly the same as mine… They just played with a few words and phrases, cut the most significant assignments for my work. A lower professional profile, in other words… In the same way they do for cvs, copy and paste, they responded below!

I paid to get my professional CV re-written. After receiving the first draft, I provided feedback and had to email twice before getting a reply from the expert CV writer. The CV writer did not discuss the input things I had specifically outlined in the second draft and the CV presented was basically no different from the initial resume I produced. The only improvements were related to formatting and the modifications to formatting were not even very good. I was very busy and unable to quickly review the second  CV revision and was then informed that my time of review had expired. When I first ordered the service, I was never told that there was a time limit. In the hope that someone would answer my grievances, I contacted them, but the reply I got was just a refusal to do so.

For my son, who is transitioning from 8 years of military experience into his new Network and Communications career, I bought a professional CV rewrite. About a year ago, he graduated and has almost 2 years of realistic work experience. His military experience was not even mentioned in the first draft and they said he had 8 years of professional experience in CV…… That’s not real. When he responded back and told them to redo the experience portion and add the experience of the military… For several weeks, no reply… They eventually replied after asking for my cash back… But the years of experience have still not been set. I would have let them redo my CV if they had done a decent job, but there is no way I’m going to work with them again!

The fantastic website and letters of solicitation took me in. I was interested in using this cv writing service because the site said that a cv specialist in the sector in which I wanted to find employment would review the cv to ensure that the right terms were there that would grab the scanning machine. It was so generic that the updated cv was laughable. My favorite line was A history of accomplishing goals,” Not only were there spelling errors, but the dates of my employment were actually altered. My feeling is that they were sent to someone overseas who barely had an understanding of the English language. Wrathful.

I did the complimentary CV review that was given through the glass door at first. I got feedback on my CV that was persuasive. So I went for their professioinal writing service, where I wanted a CV and cover letter not to be what my previous ones were, and as per criticism, I also enhanced it. Several drafts were sent, but what they did was not as requested. And with slightly different terms did they make it lightweight. Then I attempted to return the rewrite to their free critique service and I got almost the same reviews as my old resume! The listed ATS scan was also even worse than my original. I’ve been suspicious of what they have to say to me ever since. For a matter of fact, instead of PurpleCV, I applied for jobs and was called for my initial CV.

This place is a rip off, taking advantage of clients who are unemployed. You tell them what you want on your new cv and cut it in half, then they give you an incomplete cv, then they make one adjustment (so they say) and then they say they’re not going to make any more adjustments. You call the credit card company, and after several emails, they say they can’t do anything because of their “no refund policy” You’re practically giving away your money to PurpleCV. You will then have to directly contact Master Card or Visa to go around the bank rules and let them know that the bank that is supposed to assist you violated the Master Card or Visa guidelines. Bottom line “DO NOT USE THEM” I’m even sending the lousy resume they did to another business and they thought it was only 70% successful. Don’t use them, trust me

This company will review your cv free of charge and then tell you what is wrong with it and what they can do to make it better for you. They will take your current cv and copy-paste it into their own template if you continue to buy their cv writing service, which will contain a bunch of skills irrelevant to you, mis-spellings as if someone from outside the UK is writing it, and they will refuse to reimburse you because of their ‘no reimbursement policy.’

After applying for a job where a rep approached me telling me that my CV looked bad, I found this professional CV writing service. Before, I had no trouble getting interviews, but I needed some advice from CV writing experts. I mean, why not? It took them a week to submit the first draft and the name and contact details of another client was on top of my CV (my right contact was on my original resume and I had to enter it when posting on the PurpleCV website), one of the names of my former company was spelled wrong (was not wrong on my original CV) and I felt it was incredibly boring and difficult to read. I would strongly recommend to avoid this CV writing company.

This is a CV writing company that is very unprofessional. They give you a week, then tell you to edit your own product. They do not use professinal writers who are familiar with the fields for which they write the resumes and charge extra for Linked in profile, but simply send you copy and paste text. Don’t put this CV writing service to use! Do not use PurpleCV.
