I am a total skeptic and a difficult customer to please. After failing to even get a response from my CV, I decided to enlist the help of an expert. Having spent a lot of time narrowing down my choice of services, I decided on CVpal. What influenced my decision was that Andrew was the only person out of all the services that I contacted who phoned me back (and promptly) and took the time to answer all of my concerns without putting pressure on me to use CVpal. I feel that his service is thorough, exceptional value for the amount of hard work he did, completely re-writing my CV. Within hours of uploading my new CV my phone rang constantly for days. Within 48 hours I had 3 interviews lined up and I was offered a role. If you are in any doubt I fully recommend Andrew and CVpal.

Due to bieng made redundant 3 times in the last 18 months, I felt as though my CV was as tired as I felt. After reading the reviews for CV Pal, I thought that I would give them a call to see if their service was something that could help. I spoke with Tara first and I could tell that after 5 minutes talking with her that she understood that not only did I want my CV up dating but I wanted to be able to use my new cv to change the direction that I had found myself in within the finance sector but I wasn't sure how. I put the phone down feeling good about the opportunity of having CV Pals use their many years of experience to help me change my life. But in order to do that I needed to spruce up my CV and from having another call but with Andrew this time, I felt confident that I could reach my goal with their help. Andrew and Tara gave me the confidece that they knew what they were talking about and therefore gave me the confidence when I applied for jobs with the "new CV" that I would not have been considered for before. So much so, that after 2 interviews, I was offered a position with a very good company and I can't wait to start. Thanks Tara and Andrew you have been brilliant and well worth every penny.

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.

I was out of work for 6 months and while my old CV was good it had too much detail and lacked clarity. After contacting CVpal they revampted my CV with which I have secured a job which is not just another job but a great career opportunity.

Andrew was very positive with me from the start taking time to find out exactly what I type of career and job I was looking for and focused my CV towards that. In a short space of time I've been contacted by several companies which gave me a choice of options regarding which opportunity to pursue, it was great to have a choice.

If you have any doubts at all like I had initially, then please contact CVpal just for a chat- you will not be disappointed - after all what have you got to lose?

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!
