The structure of which the cv/cover letter was written in was quite insightful. I will use it as a blueprint when writing my cv but the service as a whole was not worth the money I paid for. Paying as much as I did for the service I would expect to have a ready to go product to send to potential employers but I definitely do not have that. There are several things I will need to change myself, even after writing in to amend a few things. No animosity, just being honest. I found the process quite confusing as I was getting multiple files in different formats and I found the cover letter to be a carbon copy of my cv but displayed in bullet points instead. I do not believe that would look good to a potential employer as they are not learning anything new about me, rather just reading something that is already stated in my cv. All in all I would pay £30 for the service as I believe it to be a general guide for structuring a CV rather than providing a ready to go CV.

Hi Saifeldein, Firstly many thanks for sharing your feedback with us. We are very sorry that you are feeling this way. We will contact you directly now, so we can work with you on your CV, ensuring you are feeling confident in putting it forward. However, I like to explain a few things - Although a CV is a factual document, we also believe a CV is a personal document. In order to create the very best CV for you, we need your input. We are also sorry to hear that you finding the different formats of your CV confusing - we provide both WORD and PDF versions. The reason for this is that PDF is a closed document so it keeps the same shape no matter what device/software it is opened on. PDF is great for sending to people you know, or to those who specifically ask for it in PDF. At all other times, however, especially with recruitment agencies, we recommend you send your CV in WORD. Regarding your Cover Letter - Cover Letters are designed specifically to attract the attention of recruiters by highlighting only the most relevant information to the job you are applying to. The sole objective of a Cover Letter is to sell yourself in a few lines and encourage the recruiter to open your CV. Despite the above, your satisfaction is our number one priority and we want to be sure you are comfortable using your CV and Cover Letter in your job search. Many thanks, The CV Squad Team
you just give same score to CV's. I had requested reviews for my 2 cv and get same score and same error while,both cv were different.

Hi, Many thanks for your review and for sharing your concern. As you will have seen from our review, we do not offer individual feedback on every particular issue within your CV. We offer an overall CV score, not an individual report. If both CVs scored the same score, the score would be right. The individual score will have been generated from different areas of each CV; for example, one CV scored very low on ATS compatibility, while the other scored higher. One scored higher on spelling/grammar, the other lower. Our Free CV review is transparent and provides free advice, tips and educates on how to create a good CV. Best wishes and many thanks, The CV Squad Team
Firstly, I would say that whilst I had a bad experience where i felt that there has been completely zero value-for-money, there is still some merit in this product. It is especially tailored to people who do not have the time or cannot express themselves appropriately. If you expect a fancy, eye-catching looking CV, this is NOT the place to go to. What you will get is quite literally a wall of text and just lists everything that you have done. Very generic stuff and is genuinely something most people could put together. I have submitted my CV to a few recruiters and senior management in a few established firms and the general feedback was along the lines of: the CV doesn't do anything to upsell my achievements, if anything it makes it hard to figure out what I've actually done as the presentation looks lacklustre and everything is hidden in a wall of text. This style of CV may be good for online applications where you get screened but if you were to manually pick out key points, this is not the place to go to. Granted, the CV writer did make an effort to draw some info from me (of which I believed could be googled, like basic project info) but what really put me off was that nothing that was done in this CV couldn't have been done by anyone else. That is why I will stress again, this product is useful for people who don't have the time to put into their own CV. Aside from that, it is pretty much useless. They mentioned that they had a refund policy whereby if the customer did not wish to proceed with the work then they would consider a refund. I was not satisfied and expressed it but rather than offering a partial refund, the response was that as the first couple drafts (considered a working CV) was delivered, no refund will be issued. Abit harsh considering that the work is basic at best. All-in-all, a decent CV was delivered. I am now in the process of re-working it and feel that I've wasted all my money. If you are able to spend even an hour on your CV and have it very light formatted on Microsoft Word, then I would stay away from this service as this is what you would receive: a basic, bland and boring looking/sounding CV that I personally would be ashamed to charge money for.

Hi Ash, My name is Ellie and I’m the Customer Service Manager at the CV Squad. To start to understand, I have done a full review of your account and communications with your writer and our relationship manager. I see from your notes that all was delivered to the times agreed and you seem happy to sign off on the CV. We ensured your new CV is skill matched, Keyword optimised, 100% Applicant Tracking System (ATS) compatible and human-friendly and highlights transferable skills for your career change. A CV is a factual document, not a creative painting, at any time we keep it simple and present it in a fresh clean way that will work with both ATS and the human eye. We can, of course, Google projects and values, however, it would be a norm for you to provide this information since Google is not always reliable and your input to these projects is of more importance. We created a CV that quickly highlights headline skills, attributes, and achievements, a chronological history and quickly shows the reader what they want to see i.e. organisation, responsibilities, and achievements. It highlights your skills, plus as noted we have researched and ensured relevant keywords and density. We delivered than on the service promised. The CV style and presentation techniques we use have won many awards and are the only ones professionally recognised by the REC and have achieved 10,000s of interview hits. I am then 100% confident in your CV style, however, we have offered to make any changes for you. I’m keen then to talk this through with you as our service reputation is what makes us stand out and hence we take reviews like this, very seriously. Ultimately, however, we just want to make sure you are happy and achieve the results you/we would expect. Please just call us and book in a time that is good for you. Our relationship manager will also try and contact you. Kind regards, Ellie Halaczinsky European Customer Service and Operations Manager
Although there was a fairly lengthy delay to my order, I would say that the service is professional. However, the CV does not seem to be generating any results for me which is the most disappointing thing. This is why I have gone with 2 stars because I came here in the hope that I would see some positive outcomes which sadly is not the case.

Hi, Many thanks for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear, that you had no success so far. We can also see, that your order has been completed last week only and it is a little early to tell. However, so we can find out where it is going wrong, we would love a quick chat with you and have contacted you directly. Many thanks, The CVSquad Team
