Thank you for expressing your concerns about the service we provided you. For academic projects we offer Proofreading, Editing and Editing & Feedback services only, and we aim to provide these services to the best of our abilities. We hold firmly to the limits of proofreading and editing, and do not extend these to include writing or rewriting, to avoid plagiarism, among other issues,

Thank you, Elvis Mensah, for sharing your opinion regarding the proofreading we provided you on your CV for the Canadian residency match. While we do disagree with what you have stated, we appreciate your taking the time to share your opinion with us and wish you every success with your application.

We are sharing parts of the email we sent you regarding your project: Thank you for sharing your expectations. We understand that this has been a frustrating process for you. We believe if there simply had been a closer alignment in expectations, these frustrations could have been avoided. Regarding having deleted the subject of your presentation and asked you to put it in again, we believe you were referring to “rheumatoid arthritis,” “cholangitis,” etc. Is that correct? As subjects, “rheumatoid arthritis,” “cholangitis,” etc. are vague. They give no clear, specific understanding of what your presentation was about. The easiest way to address this concern, and the preferred way of listing presentations in a CV, is to provide the title of the presentation. In lieu of a title, you can put a more specific subject, for example the effect of a certain drug on reducing joint inflammation in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. The CV you sent for review had 340 words and was comprised predominantly of headings and titles. There was little in the way of descriptions, which is where we could have done more for you. The average CV we work on is 1,400 words. The CV service is a flat-rate service, so certainly the client who sends 340 words will feel he did not receive enough, while a client who sends 2,460 words will feel he got a bargain. That is the nature of a flat-rate service. Where we feel disappointed is in receiving only 340 words to work with, because we know how much more we could do if only we had been entrusted with more to work with.
