Andrew was very helpful from start to finish and he spent time on the phone with me discussing what I wanted first which a lot of other company's I looked at failed to do. When I received my CV back I was extremely happy I did not need to make any changes and it is much better than anything I could have written myself. I would defiantly recommend CV Pal and I will be using the service ahgain in the future.

My CV was several years out of date and I was considering a career change within the same industry. I rang CVPAL (Andrew) and explained my position to which he also had questions for me. That in itself was re-assuring because it was clear that he wanted to produce a perfect CV for me. I sent my CV and a few job descriptions of the roles I was looking for and he did not disappoint. The customer service alone is beyond exceptional, I got it earlier than promised considering my deadline was sort notice and the CV is BRILLIANT. CV pal is brilliant and I without doubt recommend it anyone.

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 at CV Pal did an extensive interview that drew out my skills, The end result was comprehensive, but professional and to the point.
Once I started applying with my new CV, within 2 weeks I had 2 interviews for senior positions.
It was the ability for my CV to now portray me objectively that justify's the ratings I have given CV Pal.

CVpal was my third attempt at having my CV done professionally by CV companies. My expectation was high because of the level of success and attainment achieved in business. My initial conversation with Andrew was focused, detailed, challenging, enjoyable and motivational whilst he began to structure the process to include my career, areas of expertise, achievements, management style and what motivated me as a manager. During the period of about an hour the whole conversation was solely focused in preparing the structure of the CV. I am absolutely delighted by the approach, structure and style undertaken at the preparatory stage. I attempted to do my own CV and have to say it was a disastrous mistake. You become too close to your CV and the balanced professional approach that CVpal bring is that they are emotionally unattached and can take a view knowing what is acceptable in the market sector. I would recommend CVpal without reservation. My completed CV is impressive and powerful due to the careful efforts of Andrew.
