Overall review of the website
CareerConsultants.co.uk offers professional CV writing services, amongst other services to job seekers who need the expertise of a professional CV writer to win the interest of employers in the highly competitive labor market. The company also provide online career consultancy through the expertise of in-house consultants who are specialists in their field.
The design of the website is 50 percent in terms of usability. Although it features excellent graphics and the texts are legible enough, but the website looks somewhat busy, which makes locating the items on the website a more complex task.
The website also provides a few necessary information on the landing page, such as a ‘contact us’ form, links to some of the interesting articles, a brief read of some useful career advice, and a sitemap at the bottom of the page. This makes navigation easy.

Quality of the Service
Communicating with this website is less effective. No provision for live chat or email address that will aid one-on-one discussion with the management except a short form below the ‘Contact Us’ segment on the landing page.
Filling the contact form to send messages to the company is like watching Cactus plants grow. This is not ideal for a professional CV writing firm because using a CV service requires a detailed prior discussion before placing an order.
They are very slow in response. Every message I sent waited for days before feedback. The website does not permit smooth customer relations in all honesty, and that alone is a seriously annoying factor.
Quality of the Product
This is the worst CV I have ever seen. It lacks every quality that can make recruiters decide it worth their time. There were too many grammatical and typographical errors that I didn’t bother to request for revision. I had to forgo the money and started writing a new one myself.
Meeting Deadlines
They are late in delivery. The first draft came four days after the agreed date and denied me the opportunity to apply for my preferred job on time.
Conclusion
I didn’t enjoy using this service. Their delivery was late and poor. I expected a CV that tells a great story about me and would portray me as the best candidate for the job, but I couldn’t get that. They only sent back to me a reworded version of my former CV. A professional CV writer should understand all the characteristics of a good CV and how to achieve them. What a poor service. I will not recommend them.
