Complaint Review: CVNow

On the first of September, I applied for a position in Instrumentation Engineering that was advertised on your site, mostly because I was looking to work as an EXPAT, as I had done a year ago, in Kazakhstan

Got an email from your company stating that my application had been sent

Next thing I get an email from Katie at CVNOW, saying she was going to look through my CV, which she did. She came back with a whole lot of suggestions about what was wrong with my CV

So I had a think about it, after reading all the promises on their site, so I asked her as a matter of interest, how much would she charge to sort it out. The send me the link to make an order

Next thing I get another email, from someone else at CVNow, with a big speech about how many interviews I would etc

So I did the online order, expecting an immediate reaction and the solutions that Katie had promised

I sent everything and more, that they requested and had to wait another week, for Jason to contact me, then another week to give me my first draft!

Well at a first glance it looked impressive, until I actually read it on the weekend, All two pages

NEVER in my whole professional life, have I read such garbage!!! obviously the guy did not have any engineering or technical knowledge, he could have even cut and paste from my original CV

But no, it was random words that he took out of my CV, then he added his vocabulary, and made it look like something straight out of a fiction novel!

I went from being a Multi-Discipline Principle Designer to a “Motivated project leader with capacity to set up complex mechanical equipment” & Highly skilled in directing cross-functional teams

So Now The reply I got when I sent a reply to him!!! “Thank you for reaching out!"

So Tara from support replys:

While I can understand your frustration, I am not sure that yelling at me is accomplishing anything beyond making us both upset. I have assigned the order to a top writer. He is happy to work on this for you and I have expedited so you have this by the end of the week as planned. This also allows you a full revision period if needed with him. I will also ask him to contact you if he has not yet done so to discuss strategy. 

I even sent them Tara and Katie a PDF, of the updated that took me over a day, to re-write the mess

I get senior writer Joe!! Apologising

Hi Cecily, I'm nearly finished with your document but would like to use this evening for final edits if that works for you.
Your original document was rather large, so I am trying to make sure I don't overlook anything.
I'll be back in touch

And now I am “Sr. Designer, Instrumentation & Control Systems”,  with phrases like“Industry Agnostic: Broad experience in variety of verticals, including oil & gas, petro chemical, municipal waste, power plant, thermal, coal, water treatment, food, and mining”

Agnostic definition, a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human ...

I really thought at my age, I would know a SCAM artist, they have all tried, pay this amount, and we will guarantee so many interviews.  But I feel hook, line and sinker for this lot.

The bells, should have started ringing, when there were no contact details for anyone!

The success stories are all fake! Its time to shut down this SCAM!!!
