Is it worth it? No.

Honestly, this just wasn’t worth the money. The service was overpriced for what I actually received, and the turnaround time didn’t justify the end result at all, I also missed out on opportunities due to how long it took. The CV came across as very generic, overly wordy, and didn’t do anything to make me stand out. The design was also quite plain and didn’t match what was advertised.

I ended up having to rewrite most of it myself just to start getting responses. As for LinkedIn, the account had issues not long after and I couldn’t even access it, which made the whole experience even more frustrating.

If you’ve never written a CV before, it might be useful as a starting point. But otherwise, you can get the same level of quality from much cheaper (or even free) online tools.

Thank you for your comments. It doesn't sit well with us that you don't feel happy with the service that we have provided.We are not sure 1-star is an accurate reflection, given all we did to help you, however we respect your right to do so.

We think your project is a good example of when not to use our service. We did say at the very start you may want to try and create your own, as you had a very clear view that you were already very happy with most of what you had written, and so we were just writing what you were asking for.

If you have a clear idea on what you want written, and how you want it to look, having someone else write it will not add value.. The CV ends up being a product that no one feels was value adding.

It won’t use the skills of a writer and if it doesn’t work, the writer still feels responsible.

From the start you had a very strong opinion on what you wanted and we looked to take action on each piece of feedback that you gave, working hard to deliver it within a reasonable time frame (often within 24 hours). We did many iterations and spent many hours listening and adapting. Something we think is valuable in itself.

Obviously the success of a CV will always depend on the competition for the role too (candidates may have a qualification they’re looking for, or, perhaps more experience).

We think though, from the first CV that you had, to what we produced, it was still a huge leap forward, with many of the parts being things you specifically wanted. So we hope you are able to cut out all those elements using our editable version.

Regarding LinkedIn access, unfortunately access to your account isn’t something we control however technical teams at LinkedIn should be able to help.

Sorry again that you were not happy, and as I’ve always said, we will never stop supporting you and do wish you well.

Brilliant service from Matthew and his team. We were contacted quickly and Matthew did a review over the phone with my daughter to talk about her CV requirements.

The CV was exceptional in both content and the professional layout which was above and beyond anything we could do.

We also chose the package which included a cover letter and Matthew tailored this to the job application.

First class service which I would definitely use again and recommend to family & friends.

Requires effort but well worth it

I recently had my CV and LinkedIn profiles re-written by CV SOS and I am very pleased with the results.

The process is iterative and requires patience and perseverance. Providing detailed feedback takes time, but the improvement between the first draft and subsequent iterations was exponential.

Absolutely everything is up for grabs, from writing style, font size, page layout, line spacing, use of colour, the list goes on, over and above your career content.

Initially, I had reservations about my CV coming out looking the same as every other ATS-friendly CV. Unsurprisingly, the more feedback you provide, the less generic and more personalised your CV! I certainly ended up with something I recognised as me.

Matthew and his team were always prompt with their replies - certainly more prompt than I was - and never stopped asking for feedback.

The next step is sharing my new personal branding assets with prospective employers and seeing if I can generate some interest.

Highly recommended. And, given my fondness for feedback, ridiculously good value! ;)

Fantastic service

I've decided to ask for a new CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profile service. Matthew was the one I have been in contact with - explained the process, always updating about the progress and made sure I was involved in the changes as well as had the opportunity to provide feedback. My CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profile have never looked better - super professional. I can't recommend Matthew and his services more. Well worth a try!

CV rewrite and redesign

I have been trying to find a permanent role for a while now after freelancing for many years. Although I have a lot of experience and transferrable skills, I have been having trouble conveying this to potential employers and even though I had a CV, it just wasn't standing out from the crowd. The CV SOS team answered my initially email quickly, but with no obligation and gave me plenty of options if I did decide to go ahead with their service.
I chose to have my CV and cover letter worked on - I am never sure what makes a good cover letter! Working with Matthew was incredibly straightforward and I found the whole service to be easy, professional and encouraging. I now have a clear and visually impactful CV that actually highlights my experience and presents me and my experience in a way that I would like to be viewed by potential employers, giving me more confidence when applying.
CV SOS finished work on my CV two weeks ago and I have already had an interview in that time!
I highly recommend this service to anyone wanting a CV written/designed or improved.

Perfect service, exactly as required

From start to finish Matthew and the writers team provided a high quality, professional service and I am extremely satisfied with my new CV and cover letter.
Matthew listens carefully to your needs and is not only very skilled but also kind and supportive. The whole service represents excellent value for money. Thank you to everyone involved. Highly recommended.

Premium Class Service

I developed my own CV after over 20 years in the same role, what can I say things have changed. I applied for roles and was not getting much in the way of success. I researched about 10 CV writing firms and from reading numerous reviews on trustpilot, I decided to use their services.

From the initial approach to the response to my e-mail was less than one hour, and within 4 hours I had a 30 minute telephone appointment where I was able to address all my concerns, I ended the call confident in the fact that I knew they were aware of my requirements.

There had different services available and within approximately a week, I had a draft CV ready and I was able to review it and make the necessary changes, until I was happy with the final product. When I reviewed the first draft I was extremely impressed, it stood out and the style was very striking.

Certainly worth every penny, even a friend of mine who was against me spending money on the service, was blown away by the quality of the CV, which made me feel even more vindicated in choosing CVSOS. Even since completion of the service, they were complete an additional request outside of business hours within an hour.

The only tinge of disappointment was that I felt the covering letter that was provided as part of the service, was not of the same calibre as the CV. I reluctantly give out 5 stars, as you can always do something better.

But outside of the above comment, I have no complaints and I would highly recommend them to anyone who reads this.
