CV Writing services - Any good or load of crap?

£60 NLUK. Peanuts. Worth a try at least. Even if I didnt get a refund its not a huge amount of money.

Peanuts or not it doesn't mean you have to throw it away when so many point out it's a waste of time.

£71. LOL. Which is why its worth spending £60 if it helps me get off JSA!

So you can throw away £60 but you need to claim JSA, and people already pointed you to cheaper/free ways of getting your CV looked at.

I thought he got it back by invoking the "money back if not satisfied" clause?

That's not the point.

The point is he could have ended up wasiting £60 on something which he was told repeatedly wouldn't work but thinks it's worth wasting while he has to claim JSA to live.

EXACTLY. Some people don't read things properly.

£60. If it worked and got me contract = money well spent.
If it was crap get refund = nothing lost.

[psychocandy]

I get the feeling some people have an issue with claiming JSA?

Don't need it to live. £71 aint gonna pay the mortgage, is it? But if it makes the warchest last longer than I'll do it.

Money back guarantee so I wasn't going to waste the money, was I?

Im sorry but I don't see what the problem is.

But you every post about these services say they are crap. It was NEVER going to get you a contract. If it sets your mind at ease then it was worth doing. Would have been wiser to take the advice of everyone that responded to threads about this but it's your time. You have now proved to yourself what everyone else knew and explained. If you are happy with it then that's that.

But that's not what you said - originally, you implied that you could easily write off 85% of your weekly income:

At least try to keep your story constant within the same thread.
