I have been in the same company for over ten years - promoted from within to director. Leaving via redundancy was a shock to the system. Not only did the guys at CV pal help me recognise that my details could be massively enhanced but they also spent time listening to what I needed and ensured that I remained positive. A new job once you are over 40 is scary - they helped me make the transition. Thanks guys, they really are a proper family business caring about individuals and making you shine.

Having spent 12 years with the same company I found returning to the jobs market very competitive and focused driven. Thinking my CV carried all relevant key words I soon found that I was not hitting the right notes!
On contacting CVpal I was immediately called by Andrew who was very professional in his constructive feedback. I felt very encouraged by Andrew and was not disappointed when my revised CV arrived. Fantastic, articulate and descriptive to our conversation Andrew has portrayed my strengths at every opportunity and I have already received two calls in the first two hours of posting! Don't delay, call CVpal today.
Thanks CVpal.

I was a little dubious about using CV Writing Services to begin with, but after 3 months of not receiving any interest from numerous online applications (and being pretty sure it was not to do with a lack of skills or experience) I decided to give it a try. After checking a few companies out and sending off for some free CV reviews, CVpal's initial feedback was the most detailed and explained exactly where I had gone wrong. I then spoke to them on the phone and had a very valuable and not too sales-pitchy conversation, which made me feel comfortable handing over the service fee.

In less than a week I received the initial draft and was most impressed! It was beautifully presented, included all the relevant information and added key words that I can see now were really important. If I was to be really picky (with my ex-IT Teacher and new IT Trainer hat on) the only issue I had with my CV was that it was manually formatted throughout, rather than using Styles, but this is certainly something I could overlook! After going back and forth a couple of times to make some minor adjustments I felt it was time to start sending it out and seeing how well my new CV worked.

I had stopped applying for jobs for a period of 2 weeks while I was hunting for CV Writing Services and waiting for CVpal to redo mine, so on the following Monday I sent out 5 new applications. By the next day I had had 4 responses of which I turned down 1, 1 never followed up and 2 went to the telephone interview stage. One of these then went to final face-to-face interview and within 2 weeks of sending out my new CV I was finally offered a new job (which I start in the next week or so and am really looking forward to!).

There is clearly a knack to writing CVs as recruiters seem to be looking for very specific information presented in a very specific way, and the staff at CVpal clearly know what they are doing. Although it may seem a lot of money to begin with, on reflection it was definitely a worthwhile investment and I would have no hesitation in recommending CVpal's services ( I will most probably use them again in a few years when my CV needs an update!) If in doubt, give their free CV Review service a try and give them a call - I'm sure you won't regret it!

Well, having been recommended by a family memeber, All I can say is CV Pal is fantastic. Andrew took on board my comments and CV and then transformed what I thought was a reasonable CV. The transormation of the docuement now means a more focused and punchy document which is optimised to get the best results. Recommended.

Since my CV has been updated I received more calls from recruiters and registered with 6 agencies within 1 week.
Andrew and his team is providing a quality service with a tailor-made approach. I will surely be back again once I found my new position. Thank you so much once again for the amazing service!
