How does our CV writing service work?

It all begins with a complimentary CV review of your current document. This critical first step allows us to assess your existing strengths and areas for improvement, whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting your career.

​

Once you've taken advantage of our free CV review, the process continues seamlessly. You have the option to send us your current CV, or if you don't already have one, we can provide you with a comprehensive questionnaire to gather all the necessary information. Additionally, we encourage you to share a job description that aligns with your career aspirations. This ensures that we tailor your CV specifically to the roles you're targeting, highlighting your skills and experiences in the most relevant way.

​

With your input in mind, we get to work crafting a polished and professional CV that showcases your unique qualifications. We pay meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of your CV is optimized to grab the attention of potential employers using technical ATS (Application Tracking System) keywords picked up by AI . Once the rewrite and design process is complete, we'll send you the revised CV for your approval, making any necessary adjustments until you're completely satisfied. At our CV writing service, your success is our priority, and we're committed to helping you land your desired job.

What function does a CV perform?

A CV, or curriculum vitae, is a comprehensive document that serves multiple functions in the job search process.

​

It acts as an introduction and overview of your professional background, education, skills, and experiences, providing potential employers with a snapshot of your qualifications.

Through structured sections detailing work history, education, certifications, and achievements, a CV serves as a marketing tool to promote yourself effectively. It highlights your relevant skills and experiences, demonstrating how they align with the requirements of the job you're applying for, and showcases why you're a strong fit for the position.

​

Beyond job applications, a CV also serves as a career documentation tool, capturing your career progression and accomplishments. It serves as a valuable resource for career planning, networking, and future job searches.

 

Ultimately, a well-written and tailored CV plays a crucial role in presenting your qualifications professionally and compellingly, helping you stand out in the competitive job market and secure opportunities in your desired field.

Will I need to make any changes to my new CV?

Ultimately no, once we've designed your new CV, you typically won't need to make any major changes. However, if you have any minor adjustments you'd like to make, simply alert us, and we'll gladly accommodate them.

 

Additionally, while it's not required, we highly recommend considering a cover letter to accompany your CV. Statistics consistently show that including a cover letter can significantly enhance the overall appeal of your application.

 

If you've opted for us to write one for you, it will complement your CV effectively. However, the decision to include a cover letter ultimately rests with you, and we're here to support you in whatever way best suits your job search goals.

What do professionals think of having a professionally written cv?

Many professionals recognise the benefits. Professionally crafted CVs often stand out due to their polished presentation and targeted content, leading to increased visibility and more interview opportunities. With experienced writers providing an objective perspective, tailored content, and time-saving assistance, individuals gain confidence in their job search while ensuring their qualifications are effectively communicated to employers.

​

Professionally written CVs also often incorporate keywords strategically to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) efficiently. These systems, powered by AI, scan resumes for specific keywords and phrases, ranking candidates based on their relevance to the job description.

 

By leveraging ATS-friendly language and industry-specific terminology, professionally written CVs improve the chances of passing through these systems, ensuring that candidates' profiles are considered by human recruiters. Thus, while some prefer DIY approaches, others appreciate the value of investing in a professionally written CV, tailored not only to their career goals but also optimized for ATS compatibility to enhance their visibility in the job market.
