Customer Reviews - The CV Centre ZA

Real Customer Reviews About Us

You can either leave a public and unmoderated review on a legitimate third party review platform of choice (i.e.: Google, TrustPilot or Yelp), or directly with us once we've finished working on your order. Keep your eyes open for fake review sites; there are many of them at the moment and all highly ranked by Google.

Please make sure you read our few 1 and 2 star reviews as well as our many 3, 4 and 5 star ones - challenge us with any of your worries or concerns in relation to what you've seen - no matter where you read it. We're happy to go into detail.

A good mixture of constructive negative and positive reviews is a symbol of a healthy service provider. Especially if these focus on details about the quality of the work being delivered and the results for the customer.

We thrive on finding out whether our work helped you to secure your dream job or otherwise achieve your current career goals. Let's have a chat and catch up to see where you're now at on your career roadmap!

If you ever have any feedback about the way we work and what we deliver please do not hesitate to reach out; feedback like yours has helped to build us up to where we are today over two decades after James Innes first founded us!

We are proud to be one of the best CV writing services out there. As such we are increasing our review coverage; find service-specific reviews across our site (i.e.: check out our CV Writing service reviews and LinkedIn Profile Writing service reviews).

Reviewed on | Specialist CV |Verified Purchase

I needed to update my CV as it was outdated and I had never had it professionally done. So the thought of drafting my own CV that would be both relevant to today's job market and also stand out from the crowd was very daunting and I kept putting it off. My friend then referred me to CV Writing Services, as he had used them before and was very pleased with the result. I contacted them, sent my outdated CV and information about what needed to be added. Naomi did a wonderful job. My CV looks excellent; it is professional, easy on the eye, and has all the right key words to make it stand out. I love it and am very proud of my new CV. Lots of thanks to Noami for a super job and always keeping me in the loop.

As a soon-to-be-graduating University student, I get bombarded with information as to what a CV should look like and most of it differs and contradicts itself. Denise was able to simply and very effectively constructively criticize my CV and give me insight into what my CV should seek to achieve and not just how it should look.

I would definitely recommend the service to everyone but especially fellow students who lack clarity on compiling a CV!
