Professional CV Writing Service

We provide a highly personalised professional CV writing service for jobseekers at all stages of their careers, from school leaver to senior executive.

Working from the recruiter's perspective, our CVs are fully bespoke, always written from scratch based on detailed questionnaires and interviews - either in person or via telephone, depending on location and feasibility.

We really get to know our clients, establishing a rapport and learning what makes them tick. This often helps us to unearth hidden skills and attributes, and to identify skills gaps. We don't commence CV writing until we have built a full client profile including details of target jobs or industries.

Our CV writing service is complemented by LinkedIn Profile writing, together with Cover Letters and help with Job Applications.

Entry Level CV Writing

Gone are the days when you could leave school and walk straight into a job. Hoops and loops abound and it's important to dig deep to identify transferable skills and knowledge that can be utilised in the workplace.

We help school leavers and entry level jobseekers to identify their strengths and to present themselves professionally. This extends to advice and useful tips that extend beyond the CV writing process to personal presentation, job searching techniques, personal online and offline branding, upskilling and more.

Graduate Level CV Writing

Graduates tend to write in narrative and it's a commonly held belief that they are often ill-prepared for the workplace.

Whether they are seeking voluntary work, internships or paid employment, we help them to produce a professional CV (minus the narrative), using key words and transferable skills to enhance their employability.

Our CV writing service is supported by Job Seeking Advice, Interview Skills Training, Personal Branding Advice and more.

Executive CV Writing Service

At executive level, the CV is usually far more focused on achievements.

We work with executives to identify and quantify their key achievements, eg enhancing profitability by x%, reducing overheads by x% or perhaps spearheading takeovers or acquisitions.

Executive CVs often go hand in hand with our LinkedIn Profile Writing Service and Cover Letters.

Fully Optimised LinkedIn Profile Writing Service

Through detailed questionnaires and existing CVs, we create fully optimised LinkedIn Profiles incorporating key words, skills, achievements and career history.

If we have written the client's CV, this is a natural follow on as we already have an indepth knowledge of the client.

We then recommend groups and activities for the client to participate in, in order to improve their visibility and online reputation/branding.

Cover Letters

We write speculative or targeted cover letters, incorporating industry keywords and keyword matching specific job advertisements. This service works particularly well where we have created the client's CV, but we also offer this service on a standalone basis.

Online and Offline Job Application Forms

We generally offer this service on a "support" basis only, as opposed to completing the forms themselves.

If we have written the client's CV, then the process is a natural follow on, but we do offer it on a standalone basis too.

We tend to edit the draft application, providing constructive comment on how the application can be improved and strengthened. This always includes a review of the employer's website, job advertisement, job description and person specification, together with proofchecking.

If we are assisting with applications for internships, our service will also include a review of the internship programme to ensure that the application matches the requirements.

Interview Skills Training - in Person or via Telephone, Skype or Video

This service includes a detailed review of the job vacancy or internship together with the employer's website and person specification.

Clients are given guidance on how to prepare for the interview before it takes place.

Interviews are fairly formal and comprehensive feedback is given either during the interview (with questions being repeated) or at the end of the interview. Feedback is both verbal and written.

We pick up on poor diction, lack of articulation, bad habits, lack of focus, failure to interpret the questions correctly, tendency to stray off topic, etc. Eye contact, handshake and posture are also covered, as well as inadequate knowledge about the role and failure to prepare appropriate questions. Advice is then given on how to improve interview performance.
