How does the CV-writing process work?

TopCV uses the expert knowledge of our CV writers, combined with feedback from CV-scanning software called applicant tracking systems (ATS). ATS filters applicants based on keywords and formatting, and TopCV analyses your CV using similar technology. Our expert writers break down this analysis to figure out how to make your CV more effective.

Your writer will collaborate with you to create a job-winning CV, specific to your industry. Once your writer reviews all of your information, they will create a first draft for you to review, you can suggest edits, ask your writer to elaborate on certain points etc. We give you the control, to get the best CV. In total the process typically takes one to two weeks to get your perfect CV.

Does TopCV provide additional job-search services?

In addition to CVs, we professionally write cover letters and LinkedIn profiles.

About Our Writers

Does TopCV have writers in my industry and region?

Our network of over 1,200 writers has experience in over 65 industries. We connect you with a CV-writing expert for your industry.

Our CV writers with expert knowledge of your industry are qualified in showcasing your accomplishments by using the same terminology, that hiring managers look for in your field. This means that important keywords, along with your skills and achievements, will stand out to hiring managers and satisfy all electronic screening tools.

What qualifications do TopCV writers have?

We have a network of over 1,200 writers, including certified career coaches, former and current hiring managers, HR professionals, recruiters and professionals with specialised experience in over 65 industries. This ensures we can match each client with an expert who is a strong match for their needs. TopCV recruits and vets our writers based upon the value they can bring to our clients.

How will you get my information?

We’ve designed our introductory questionnaire to get a sense of your past experience and current goals while allowing you the opportunity to communicate what matters most to you. The questionnaire should only take a few minutes to complete and your answers will help inform the approach your writer takes in restructuring and rewriting your CV. While a previous CV is not required to kickstart the CV writing process, it can save you and your writer time covering the basics.

How do I collaborate with my CV writer?

You can collaborate with your writer through the TopCV platform - that way you will be able to view drafts of your CV, and communicate with your writer to suggest changes.

Our CV-writing process is collaborative between the writer and the client. Your writer will use your old CV as a primary source of information. If you don’t have a CV, don’t worry, your writer will send you a brief questionnaire that will provide all the information that we need to get started. Once this has been provided, your new CV will be delivered to you for you to review and offer edit suggestions.
