Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: dishonest, pushy, arrogant, unprofessional, hard sell, cold sell

...be interested in. I called the phone number only to find that it wasn't a job at all - it was the Fuller CV!!! It was simply a dishonest cold call designed to trick me into calling them. The person on the end of the phone made no apology for this but launched into a CV hardsell. He said he had my CV in front of him and it was very poor. I would never get a job using it. My only hope was to spend several hundred pounds on one of their CVs! This person ...
...they get my CV in the first place? I think it must have been the 'leading job site'. The person on the phone wouldn't tell me - but that can be the only conclusion I can draw. I don't remember being asked when I registered. What an awful money-making scam between the two of them! ...

I'm not impressed

Advantages: they made a couple of format suggestions for free
Disadvantages: they refused the £29.99 CV review, pushing for the full £99.99 service
