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 I have used CV writing services as I was just no good at selling myself and the format, well, it looked so outdated.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.

Thanks for such an excellent service. I have great confidence in my revamped professional looking CV and the friendly advice that you gave me has proved to be invaluable!! Thanks again.

I was looking for a new job after being at my current company for 6 years, they helped me by writing my CV in a way that really sold my skills and show how they would be transferable to another company. I got a great job at Disney on the back of this and I would definately recommend their services to other people.

CVpal have undertaken a complete review of my CV and LinkedIn profile to enhance my standing in the facilities management interim sector. The process was very professional and thorough and I was impressed by the one-to-one consultation which I believe is essential for a successful outcome. Andrew's thinking on the total redesign of both elements was thought provoking and I would highly recommend CVpal.

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.
