Your CV is your opportunity to show an employer why you are an ideal candidate for the job and is a crucial part of the job hunting process and landing your dream role. There is lots of debate about the layout and content of CVs. Ultimately, you need to create “your brand” through drawing attention to what makes you unique in terms of your skills, experience, achievements and potential and is a true reflection of you and market yourself to others. |
You want the recruiter to clearly see why they need to interview you for the role and find out more about you as they often have less than a minute to look at your CV, you want to shine!.
Remember ….. Everyone has potential and everyone has more skills than they think!!

Writing a CV is very much about a collaborative partnership as ultimately you are the expert in you and your skills. My CV writing service helps you to stand out in the right way from your competitors by presenting your brand clearly and concisely and ensuring that you have a document that shows off your potential. Prior to holding the "Right Fit" Discovery Call I ask you for a copy of your CV so that I can give you an accurate evaluation of how much needs to be amended.

Depending on your career pathway to date there are a number of different options available. Prices start from £75.00
a) CV Updating (Non-Management Level)
For those seeking their first ‘career’ role on completion of education including apprentices, college leavers and graduates or are in non-management level roles.
As you move through your career journey it is very easy to just update your CV by adding your most recent role rather than considering what is needed for the role that you want to move into in the future. I will spend time reviewing your current CV looking at the skills that you have gained, how it fits with the role that you want to move into and creating a new CV layout for you, which either will be a standard, skills based or value based layout depending on where you are in your career.
Initial creation plus 1 draft review
b) CV Writing (Management Level)
For those seeking roles at junior/middle management level and Head of Level.
For those in managerial positions who need to show your value and differentiated strengths as you either move into managerial roles or through various managerial roles. I will spend time reviewing your current CV looking at the skills that you have gained, how it fits with the role that you want to move into and creating a new CV layout for you, which either will be a standard, skills based or value based layout depending on where you are in your career. We will also have an additional call once I have completed the first draft to discuss any feedback. This service also includes a cover letter to support your job application. If you don't currently have a CV, the price for the work would be the same as for CV Updating.

HOW long does it take until i get my new cv?
I aim to produce a finished CV within 7-10 working days from agreeing to work together, however this is subject to change as to when you return your completed questions. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is a more urgent requirement.
is this cv the final version that i send out to recruiters?
A professionally written CV can be used as a fantastic master template for each application. However, you will need to tailor it slightly for each application you submit ensuring that you include any relevant key words and phrases and taking into account the style of messaging they use.

should i include a cover letter with my application?In my opinion, absolutely yes as cover letters are becoming an increasingly important part of the job application process for the following reasons:-
|
1. It shows that you have taken the time to think about how you match the brief and not just fired off a CV in the hope that you will get an interview.
2. You can highlight your suitability and experience for the specific role – it gives you the opportunity for you to really think about the role, what it needs and why you are the right person for the role.
3. You are able to follow instructions, particularly if a recruiter asks for one.
The key is making it as succinct as possible, ideally one page, and not just a duplicate of the information contained within your CV. It is essentially a summary that encourages the reader to continue reading your documents.
Cover Letter Creation
I can create a cover letter either focused on the requirements of the role or to be used for speculative roles. Prices from £20.00
