Additional Features
On the menu list, you will find ‘Job Seeker Tools,’ a mini-blog that provides every needful information about what you need to do after submitting your CV or even after getting that dream job. This blog contains several useful articles that focus on how to get a well-paying job and what to do to maximize your income.
Job seeking is complicated, and getting the right one involves many factors. These factors are methodically addressed in the various articles on the blog.
You can also learn how to write a professional CV, cover letter, and application letter while reading some of the blog articles.
There’s a green box on the Jobseeker tool page that captions ‘Submit your CV here for a free critique.’ On clicking that box, you will be asked to upload your existing CV for the experts who will peruse it and tell you whether it fits a job application or needs a few changes, or you need an entirely new one. You can also contact the company through this page for free advice on your career.
Quality of the Service
The website offers many options to contact the CV store. It features a live chatbox on the contact page. You can also use any of the multiple contact details, including a hot phone line, email address, and a short contact form where you can write your comment and send it to the customer support department.
Because I needed a quick response, I didn’t use the mail. So, I wouldn’t know how fast they respond through the mail. I call the phone line, and it was picked at once. The person that spoke to me was very attentive and polite. He provided relevant answers to all my questions, and that was great.
TheCVstore customer support department is good enough in terms of customer relations. They don’t delay answering calls, and they ensure that you are satisfied before they hang up. Those guys are good.
Quality of the Product
The final copy was nothing to be called professional writing. They gave me a CV that doesn’t showcase what makes me stand out from the crowd and summarize what makes me qualified for the job. I paid for a CV that will serve as my personal branding tool, but they couldn’t deliver. I had to contact another CV writing firm for a better service.
Meeting Deadlines
My CV came on the agreed day but late at night. I was hoping I could use it that day, but it was too late. Since there were no modifications, I uploaded it on a few job websites that night and submitted the hard copy to a company the next day. That wasn’t too late if you ask me.
Conclusion
Communicating through this website wasn’t a good experience. A typical CV writing website should provide a means of live chat to aid better communication between the writer and the client. Professional CV writing requires a detailed conversation to enable a better understanding of the clients’ custom requirements. The failed communication process is one of the reasons they couldn’t deliver to customer’s satisfaction. They should improve on that.
