PUSHY, DISHONEST AND FAR TOO MUCH HARD SELL

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! ...

Review of CVtrumpet

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

I tried cvservices.co.uk after reading the excellent reviews at ciao, and I admit I was very disappointed. After applying for dozens of jobs and getting no interviews, it was obvious that there was something very wrong with my CV and I needed professional help. I contacted CVservices last spring and ordered a CV review for £29.99. I filled in their form, gave my card details and emailed them my CV. They replied in 1-2 days, but their answer was ...
...me that they couldn't work on my MS Word document, because the default fonts (arial) was not what they use and it would take them too long to make the changes they wanted. Instead, they suggested that I order their full £99.99 service, and they would rewrite my CV from the beginning. However, they did change the format of a couple of lines in my existing CV, just to show me what they had in mind, and didn't charge me for it. The changes were the ...

Not the Best CV site

Advantages: comprehensive
Disadvantages: costly

The buzzword career management site offers a wide range of services including career management, personal marketing and CV writing services/consultation. The costs are shown in a detailed price list, with varying charges depending on where you are on the career ladder (from ...
...like IT competence levels. Telephone consultation services are also available - at a price. Overall I would say the prices are hefty, although the services are detailed so there should not be any hidden 'extras'. Although the site seems to be comprehensive a number of links were 'under constuction' (at Aug. 2000). ...
