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 I have used CV writing services as I was just no good at selling myself and the format, well, it looked so outdated.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 first contacted CV pal just before Christmas, Andrew was very professional and after the consultation I was fully confident that Andrew understood exactly what I wanted to achieve from my CV and covering letter.
I had developed my CV over the years and was quite happy with it but knew it needed updating.
I was very impressed with the speed, quality and cost of the service and amazed with how my new CV stood out from my previous one.
I would definitely recommend CV pal to anyone who needs assistance improving their CV.

I am currently military and leaving the Army in the near future, I thought it would be a good idea to have my CV professionally written. Reason being it can be difficult for military personnel to express and relate their experiences and skills to the world outside of the Army. Instantly Andrew was very helpful and had previous experience of writing military to civilian CVs. He put together a very professional and polished CV for me within a week. I have since had a good amount of interest and positive feedback on the CV and I would definitely recommend CV pal and Andrew to any of my friends military or civilian.

Andrew created a excellent CV for me, my CV was written and was full on military jargon and needed to be written in a civilian manner, I met Andrew and we talked through the CV and what I required. After discussion he sent me a draft which was amended after consultation. The CV delivered is dynamic and well crafted. I also received a cover letter and LinkedIn profile. I would recommend this service to all, and will be using Andrew again if I need an update.

I had considered having my CV professional prepared on a few occasions but heard horror stories of parting with your money and receiving a very poor service.
However after doing a bit of searching of reviews I contacted CVpal and Andrew and his team put together an exceptionally professional CV and cover letter for me.
Since uploading my CV on a couple of sites I have received 2 calls directly from people - not bad from less than a week.
So if you are hesitant about using CVpal, I would suggest that you contact them and like myself you will be amazed at the results.
Thank you Andrew and your team.
