I went to see cvpal in October. Having been in employment all my working life, I found myself without a job, lacking confidence after a while with Andrew and his team, I came out buzzing, I secured 5 interviews with weeks and 3 job offers.

Thank you CV Pal for the recent training covering CV's, Covering letters and interview techniques you conducted for the staff in my team.

We all found this course really interesting and very useful, Andrew was excellent in terms of his up to date knowledge and delivery style. The course content was all relevant with related activities to support learning, pace and challenge was excellent and it was really nice not to be “talked at for 2 days”.

In typical experienced trainer style Andrew was able to motivate and engage the group to facilitate learning in an enjoyable way, he was very self-assured and knew his subject well without being too didactic.

I would recommend this course to anybody who may need assistance with either C. V writing or interviewing techniques. Andrew was able to adapt the course content and delivery to the needs of his learners and included all areas we had highlighted needed particular focus to benefit us all. I feel very fortunate to have experienced this course and feel positively refreshed by the approach taken, I hope to work with Andrew again in the future.

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 have been very impressed with the help I have received from Andrew at CVpal. Having not had the need for a CV for 10 years I was not looking forward to the process but he managed to completely de stress the whole thing. The face to face time was very useful and enabled us to bring to life and summarise my experience to date and I am very encouraged by the initial feedback I have had from prospective employers.

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.
