The free CV review feature also helps users with useful tips and professional advice on how to improve their CV to make it ATS compatible.
Quality of the Service
There are a couple of ways you can communicate with the company via this website. The contact page features a short contact form where you can fill in your details and your messages. You can also talk to the company via their telephone line, email, and the postal address provided on the contact page.
The Customer Support Service is not responsive enough. You would have to wait for days before getting feedback through email. The website doesn’t feature a live chat option. Hence the only way to get an instant response from the company is to make a call, which takes time before they could answer.
One of the major challenges of this website is the poor communication method. It was a major discouragement from the beginning of the transaction, and it continued till delivery. The poor communication system became more annoying when I had to make some corrections on the first draft sent to me. That was too stressful.
Quality of the Product
Terrible! This company charged me £380 for a mere improvement in my former CV. I told the writer to give me a great CV that will show my soft and hard skills and portray me as a rounded and whole candidate. Instead, they only showed a bunch of qualification skills, which does not appeal to seasoned recruiters.
Meeting Deadlines
I got the first draft five days after I placed the order. That was quite on time. But, I had to wait for weeks before I could get the revised copy.
Conclusion
The company needs to improve its customer support service. No company that values customers would keep them waiting for mails or answer calls selectively.
Aside from the poor customer service, their pricing is too expensive, juxtaposed with their final product quality. £380 is too much for a CV that cannot knock a single interview door and a LinkedIn profile that lacks the right keywords to put me on top of search lists. That is nothing close to professionalism.
