I think this is the second time I have ever written a review in my life. I used CV pal to write my CV and cover letter and cannot recommend them highly enough both for the quality of the CV and the value for money. I have used CV writing services as I was just no good at selling myself and the format, well, it looked so outdated.

I have used two CV writers in the past, both of which failed to impress me the way that CV pal did. The first CV writer was good at pitching me but did not really listen to my goals and aims and I was left being offered jobs in a sector I was trying to escape. The second CV writer was a complete disaster it cost substantially more, gave a CV that very disjointed and looked like very little effort had been made, I tried to get it amended and made suggestions but it ended up in so much work for little improvement I just gave up in the end as I could see it was going nowhere.

After the last experience I was very nervous of throwing my money around but looked up the reviews (thanks to all those that provided them) and decided it was worth a ring to discuss the CV in more detail. I spoke to Andrew and he was amazing, what customer service this guy had. He really put my mind at ease a great deal about the issues that I had had with previous CV writers, he seemed to understand where I wanted to take my CV and made loads of great suggestions that all made sense to me. He also confirmed that it would be him who wrote my CV and was always contactable, which sold it for me. The process was hassle free throughout, I provided the information and the CV reflected that he had read and processed it all.

The CV exceeded all expectations, it looked pretty and readable, it reflected our initial conversation and it really did sound like me which was so refreshing. I have shown it to a lot of my friends that have all been really impressed. More importantly (although it might not just be down to the CV) I have been offered lots of interviews and for jobs that excite me.

I have not mentioned until now the cover letter, which was included in the price. It’s a personal choice but I wouldn’t get it done again, it was, as it obviously had to be, very generic. I tend to write cover letters specifically for each job I apply for, although this is time consuming, it really does seem to provide a much better response. Even despite the cover letter not exciting me the same way the CV did, it still offers the best value for money I have come across.

I rang CV pal and got straight through to Andrew who was extremely helpful and made me feel at ease. Andrew was very easy to talk too, I explained I was calling on behalf of my husband and he was fantastic I emailed him a copy of my husband's cv and with in minutes he had called me back with options on how and what they could do to help him. I was impressed on how professional this organisation was. With in a day Andrew had spoken to my husband and made him feel at ease and within 3days his cv and covering letter were back - they are fantastic and my husband has already had interest in his CV. Andrew stressed that he was here to help and if there was anything else he could do to help he would and he stuck to his word, helping my husband with a linked in profile. Within a fortnight my own career opportunities changed when I rang Andrew and asked him to create my cv. I was contacted by Tara who also was extremely friendly, polite and helpful who wrote a fantastic CV and covering letter for me.
I cant stress enough on how helpful Andrew and Tara were and my husband and I would recommend cvpal to anyone and everyone.

I got my CV reviewed by Richard and he provided some feedback on possible improvements, so I decided to trust his professional opinion and I asked for creation of a new version together with a Cover Letter and a LinkedIn profile. He asked me a couple more information to add to what he had already on my previous CV, and after a few days I got all the items requested. The quality overall is very high and I was really happy with the result. I can only advise to anyone who desire an high quality CV.

I went to see cvpal in October. Having been in employment all my working life, I found myself without a job, lacking confidence after a while with Andrew and his team, I came out buzzing, I secured 5 interviews with weeks and 3 job offers.

If you are looking for a professional, flawless and great head start in terms of securing a job role than look no further than CV Pal. Everything was completed days after the initial inquiry and exceeded my expectations. Thanks to CV Pal for helping me and getting my career back on the right path.
