I first created my CV around 15 years ago. Over the years I've just added info and previous positions etc. It got me interviews and jobs - but I didn't feel it was professional enough.
Andrew used a modern template and 3 job descriptions that I provided to custom the CV to my area of expertise. This makes the CV very custom and also improves the match rate when you upload to recruitment sites.
I'm very pleased with the outcome, the CV is very very good. A recruitment agent actually commented on it.

CVpal wrote my CV and Cover Letter, as I was struggling to secure interviews. The standard of CV well surpassed my expectations and I have since gained several interviews. I have now signed up to their Platinum Service, which allows me to get career advice, updated CVs, Cover Letters etc and I can call on them at anytime for advice. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting their CV or any other job related documents written.

I am so pleased with the service I received from CVpal. Andrew was able to boost my confidence from the initial consultation and provided me with an exceptional CV, Cover Letter and LinkedIn Profile. I required a CV following a 7 year Career break, I am also Ex Military. In less than a month of putting out my CV I have received not one but two fantastic job offers. I am in no doubt that the professional CV provided by CVpal was crucial in my application process. I would not hesitate to recommend CVpal, and I am so grateful for the insight and expertise that Andrew personally provided.

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!

Andrew was adept at getting to the point of what I wanted my CV to do and together we produced a document which has been admired by other professionals in the recruitment field - some of whom had expressed scepticism that I should pay for a CV writing service.
I am pleased with it because it summarises my career and makes it easy for me to show, and talk about, my strengths and achievements.
