Save your money
Save your money. The absolute worst. Took over 7 weeks to receive a "resume" so sub par I had to completely redo it. Endless excuses about illness and the template "playing up". Disgusted.
LinkedIn review is a total rip off. They mess around with a template. I complained and someone else was assigned. Total, total waste of £200. Even had other clients information "accidentally" copied into my CV on multiple occasions. If you want to pay, find an expert via LinkedIn or a network recommendation. Just a nightmare.
CV looks good but never got me even close to a job
I live in Italy, before purchasing I explicitly asked if they could provide a CV good to go also where I live and they replied they had plenty of international experience, so I purchased the CV + cover letter package. The processing times have been longer than what initially declared but I was not in a hurry, however after 3 years of my new CV I can say that not once I was contacted for the more than 100 job postings I replied to so although I was overall satisfied with the final result is has been useless to me (that's why I went to experts: so that they could tell me what works and what not in a CV, but it didn't work out for me)
So helpful!
Really helpful! In detailed analysis and tips on how to make my CV better. I've never known how to actually write a CV apart from copying templates from the internet. This has helped me realise why my CV is important and i have received some great guidance. Would totally recommend, Thank you!
CV Knowhow are excellent!!!!!
CV Knowhow offered a free review of my current cv and gave honest and constructive advice. It's analysis was extremely detailed and offered realistic and insightful suggestions to improve my cv.
I am currently reconstructing my cv in accordance with their advice and hopefully improving my chances of changing my employment. I would strongly recommend their service.
I’m really happy with the advice I was…
I’m really happy with the advice I was given. It’s hard to write a CV, and it was critical without being overly negative. It was objective, but not condescending. I wasn’t made to feel dumb for not being able to write a CV, and actually the advice boosted me that I’m worth more than what I was putting across. I still feel like it needs work but I have the really in depth feedback to keep making adjustments and get it really strong. Thank you!
Best objective review for free!
Fast and objective, I was very pleased with the comments made. Some of them I would not have guessed. The free review is plenty enough to make some amendments. I would consider a full review, however I believe there might be certain aspects that are not relevant to my industry and would not fit my personality. The result might sound too marketer. Worth the investment overall.
Very fast and relevant
Very fast and most of all, relevant review! Your comments were all true, I was not aware of some aspects, most of them I would handle myself. Others might not be so easy to follow as not everything is countable or applicable to me as a person. But definitely, there are valuable advices that for sure I will follow. Many thanks!
Eye opener.
A very honest and helpful evaluation. The service was very quick and covered aspects that I hadn't even considered, a real eye opener. I will seriously consider letting them write it up professionally.

Simple
Simple, quick and effective
Really simple to apply for the review as well as a fast response, thorough detail and overall helpful suggestions to improve my CV. Free review of CV and my only criticism is it would cost to get someone to re-write my CV. Thank you for your help!
I wish I had checked the reviews before…
I wish I had checked the reviews before I requested a CV review. The result was shocking and unbelievable that they could charge a fee for a completely useless CV that was not factual and was misleading. I will be taking it further.
Do not use
Overall I had a very positive…
Overall I had a very positive experience with CV Knowhow, which I was prompted to use by a 3rd party website.
The feedback I received was surprisingly critical but ultimately is constructive and has certainly given me food for thought.
I had been pleasantly surprised by how in-depth and personal the response was, but having looked at other reviews here I can see that it was a series of stock comments packaged together, rather than a fully bespoke analysis of my CV. That said the comments were relevant and for a free service it is hard to fault on that basis.
Expensive but worth it
I was prompted on Indeed to have a free CV review which was responded by the next day. The criticism they offer is brutal but honest and constructive. I decided to pay and have them edit my CV which was completed within hours! I am extremely pleased with the results and would definitely recommend.
Wonderful Free Guidance
I can thoroughly recommend C.V. KnowHow. I sent my curriculum vitae to be evaluated, and received a review that was fair, accurate and very helpful. The free advice from C.V. KnowHow assisted me greatly in improving my curriculum vitae. It furthermore made me cognisant of the way in which employers consider applicants; vital knowledge for any job searcher. I am incredibly grateful for the kind help provided, free of charge, by C.V. KnowHow. I would implore anyone that is struggling to obtain job interviews to avail themselves of this wonderful service. Their support is remarkably beneficial, and simply requires the job searcher to send them their curriculum vitae. With no financial or time cost to the job searcher, and so much to potentially gain from C.V. KnowHow’s insightful advice, why would anyone not use their service to better their chances of obtaining a desirable job?

I was not even aware my CV was getting reviewed, and it’s actually been a great help. I appreciate the honesty and pointing out what needed to be changed. I feel a lot
more confident about it and I hope I land a job anytime soon.
