I didn't quite realise how dated my supposedly "executive" was, until Lee's initial suggestions came back just a day after submitting my CV.
Upon ordering the CV service and cover letter, the daily emails updating which stage of the process we were at were great. Received my CV within the promised time, even though the 3rd day was a Saturday, it still arrive in 3 different formats as promised.
The difference in the layout, wording and content was nothing short of fantastic. Personalised to every job, taken from my previous CV, I did not need to make any changes or suggestions, Lee got it spot on.
An absolute pleasure to receive a great product delivered with great service. Highly recommended.
I approached Lee, for helping me put together an improved version of my CV 2 months ago and now I got a job within a Professional body as a Learning Technology consultant using this new CV. The CV has also helped me line up several interviews. I would definitely pass his services to colleagues and others on the look out for a job.
They completed changed the appearance of my CV to a much better design, improved the words that I used in order to better sell my CV and at the first moment I was very happy. When I decided to make some changes, they answered my demands right after I sent them and this shows their attention and commitment to always improve their work and to completely satisfy their clients. I certainly recommend it.
I initially took the free critique service which was turned around over night. It wasn't until then I could see how shocking my CV was! Immediately opted for the 24 hour cv and cover letter option. When I received everything back I can't tell you how chuffed I am with it. I can't wait to find some roles to apply for! Honestly it is a brilliant service and well worth the investment
Paid for new CV on Friday paying for a 48 hour turnaround time. Even though it is Sunday, I have just rec'd my new CV and it looks great. Just needed to phone for 1 small change! Thanks very much...
I bought Professional CV Package in March 2011. I am a graduate with a small experience but still can't find even junior position in finance. On practice, when I try to approach companies directly, I have much better result, and had some temporary roles, but I never was contacted by agency when applied online - CV makes me just invisible. I have relevant qualifications, keep studying more, but on CV it doesn't look good at all, regret I have chosen with company. I don't know who are the authors of all other comments, but suppose I have just common CV template.
Dear Vlad,
Sorry to hear that your CV hasn't been effective as yet.
As part of our service, you're entitled to free updates / changes to your CV for 12 months. In addition, we always advise sending us examples of job specs for positions you've applied to so we can ensure the CV is sufficiently targeted.
It might also be useful to contact previous recruiters to ask why you didn't progress as there might be a variety of reasons.
Feel free to send these details to help@thecvstore.net and we'll happily have another look for you.
I can also confirm that we never work to a 'common template'. If you have a look at http://www.thecvstore.net/executive-cv-examples.htm you'll see just a few examples of our work and how yours will not look like any of them.
I highly recommend the CV store; I requested a CV for a career change and really worked! As I have often been selected among many candidates and invited to several interviews! Every time I needed to update my CV, it was done quickly, free of charge and I have always been very satisfied. Thank you!

I highly recommend The CV Store for CV Services, a most enjoyable customer experience. Following the FREE CV review and accurate comments on my old CV, it was a simple decision to get the CV written professionally, by The CV Store and they delivered a 'Brilliant' CV on time, including providing great support and advice. Thank you.
Very quick and good quality!
I got feedback as soon as published online.
Highly recommended!
I'm very happy and pleased about the wonderful input and very thankful for the great work and ideas! Very helpful FREE feedback of my CV, with recommendations how to improve - and the professionally edited version of my CV is even better, much better than I could have ever done by myself.
Comparing my CV before and now is just so wonderful, knowing that it's now suitable to the labour market and made by a skilled professional!
Also the service is great - after sending in my order, I very soon received a personal confirmation of the work in progress and just within 24 hours, I got the CV. Awesome!
Having dealt the Lee from this company back in 2005, I was delighted to get another wonderful service and a great CV - Thanks..
Super quick delivery and a fantastic product, I have no doubts this will get me interviews!
Highly recommended!
The CV store has written 3 of my CVs and has done a great job. They are always on time and deliver in several formats. I highly recommend them if you need your CV done.
The C.V. store provided a professional C.V. for me after many years employment with the same company, due to them actually listening and comprehending what I did for my company I have been able to obtain a new job within five weeks, the cost was a fraction of the price of many other companies but I feel the service was second to none.
Thank you so much C.V. store I have no hesitation in recommending your service to people who feel they need their C.V. looking at and updating.
I have been looking for a help to update my CV and I have found The CV Store. Since my first contact with the company, they have always showed excellent communication, and professionalism.
My CV looks amazingly professional; therefore I don’t hesitate to recommend this company.
Thank you very much once again.
As a recent graduate, transitioning into finding my ideal professional job has been challenging to say the least. Having received my CV I would recommend the CV Store to all graduates from any discipline. The CV Store has delivered friendly and constructive advice, top service, quick email responses,and even provided additional advice for interviews. It is clear to see my CV has been totally rewritten; tailored specifically to my degree and consideration has also been given towards my specialist subjects. I will be recommending the CV store to everyone I know that is about to graduate this year, and I will be using your services again in the future.
Thanks you again,
Kathleen
I was advised to submit my CV to the CVStore by a friend and did not think they could find much fault with my CV. The whole experience was an eye opener to what an out dated CV I had. After payment was made, I received my CV back within 24 hours. The Layout is perfect and very well written. Now that I have started to send my new CV out to prospective employers I am really noticing a marked increase in call-backs.
Thank you CVStore for doing a great job!
I was initially impressed with the free help and then the subsequent improvements to my cv but was always annoyed that they never seemed to truly listen to what I needed.
I corresponded with them via email due to the hours I worked and on several occasions asked for adjustments to be made so that the CV they produced was actually set up for the type of work I was going for.
It seemed that I received a fairly generic template they use, very well written with a nice format but they became increasingly hard to get hold of when I needed amendments made and I admittedly gave up and made the changes myself and with advice from other sources.
Hello, and thanks for the review.
I am glad you were happy with the content; however, am sorry to hear you felt we were hard to reach out of hours. We usually have someone manning the phones up until around 7pm week days. After this, we have an answerphone. We're also happy to deal with enquiries via email.
If you'd like to email us at help@thecvstore.net with your concerns and we'll have a look for you as a priority.
Using the cv store was a serious wake up call that my cv was poor and I was making glaring errors. Cv store is very quick on giving feedback and creating a new look. My cv is now 100x better than before - and the best feedback? Many recruiters have told me that my cv was what got me the interview or that it was extremely well presented and crafted. Well worth the money.
I thought I had a safe, up to date CV, but being open minded I consulted various opinions from 'reliable' CV experts which only served to confuse me more. I was at my wits end.
The free CV critique I received from the CV Store consultant was clearly laid out, refreshingly candid, and went that one step further in identifying exactly what changes were needed.
The consultant was also availble by phone for the the one issue I did need to discuss, and was easily able to resolve this.
Thus I purchased the £75 service which was delivered promptly and on time with updates throughout. The results were outstanding and I feel happily able to recommend the service to anyone else that may have been as stuck as I was.
After having my CV destroyed by a company claiming to be the 'UK's leading consultancy', I hesitantly parted with another £75 and tried The CV Store.
If I am being honest, I was expecting much after my previous experience of their competitor. However, what I received was surprising good!
Their Consultants are always on hand via a direct land-line and mobile number throughout the CV writing process and all their services include alterations free of charge for 12 months.
I have since recommended them to 3 colleagues, all of whom are equally as impressed as myself!
I had my CV reviewed by several companies before I chose the CV Store. Unlike the other companies which gave me the hard sell and were charging well over £400 to write my CV, the CV Store sent me my feedback via comments on my original CV, there was no hard sell or annoying emails chasing me up. Once I had purchased the service, my new CV arrived within 24 hours, and it was FANTASTIC. A very professional looking CV provided by a very professional company - I am also very pleased that I can have my CV amended for up to a year without charge.
Been a regular customer of The CV Store since 2005 (recommended their company to most of my family) and have never been disappointed. Their staff are personable and always deliver within their stated deadlines.
