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!

I approached CVpal about 6 weeks after I was made redundant initially this was just to update my CV as it was so out of date, Tara and Andrew did a fantastic job concentrating on my transferable skills after working for a large organisation for such a long time, they adapted my CV for little cost each time I applied for different roles.
I got a couple of interviews straight away which amazed me but also left me with my next dilemma - how to be successful at interviews. This time I really needed life coaching which I did under their platinum service. Andrew and I had a 2 hour coaching session which really made me think about what I wanted from a career. Then just before my first interview we practiced interviewing technique which was invaluable.
I didn't get my first job but I didn't get my next job and thanks to CVpal I now have a job! This is testimony to CVpal's approach and determination to help me.
Thanks a million.

I have personally reviewed more than 50 CV developers in UK, this in-depth research took me about a week as UK doesn’t provide accreditations like BBB, CPRW etc. Therefore, it required a thorough research as I had limited amount of money and need an exceptional service. Finally, I had come down to top three out of which CVPal was one of them. I looked at the cost, reliability, CV examples, specialisation, guarantees, additional services, process and understanding about my CV after I had a detailed discussion with them. Andrew from CVPal provides his services in an amazing but professional manner, ensuring great communication throughout. I highly recommended CV pals to whoever requires continuous support, guidance, professional advice and reliability with half the price than others, CVPal is one of them. CheerS.

Andrew came highly recommended from other interims in my network and having suffered a tough work year in 2013, I decided to invest in the CV Pal's platinum service to see if it made a difference in finding my next assignment. The results have been highly effective and I have recorded a 100% success rate in getting to interview stage with the new CV. The service and quality were excellent and this has been a worthwhile investment and fantastic value for money.

Andrew was so efficient and encouraging and I did get job offers almost immediately soon after receiving my new look and updated CV. What a pleasure doing business with him. Worth every penny. Thank you Andrew.
