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 I have used CV writing services as I was just no good at selling myself and the format, well, it looked so outdated.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

I can not rate Andrew and his team highly enough! At a junction in my career, knew I needed some support and guidance from the right people, who could help with my CV and signpost me to the right places to start exploring new opportunities. Andrew and his team exceeded my expectations from the first call. Andrew drew out key information at the introductory meeting, opened up my thinking to other avenues and produced a top quality CV which not only illustrated my career achievements, Skills and CPD, but perfectly reflected my style and personality. This could only have been achieved by the level of detail and professionalism Andrew applied from the beginning to the end. After receipt of the CV Andrew offers ongoing support. Excellent service.

Very impressive work from Andrew. I hadn't had the best of luck applying for roles and following word of mouth was direct to the cv pal website. By inputting my details and sending over my CV for a free review I felt I had nothing to lose. Following a full and frank conversation with Andrew I sent him over some role profiles I was interested in and a couple of days later as promised I received my new CV and covering letter and just wow- completely blew me away. Never in a million years would I have been able to write something as good as that. Having submitted my CV I have been chosen for an interview with positive feedback received over the CV- many thanks guys!

Genius. The fact that CV Pal are not a recruitment agency is fantastic. The relationship is all about you, open and honest with great advice and support. They extract the best of you're skills from you're experience and create a fantastic and professional document.

After 7 months of applying for achievable jobs with no luck I realised it was down to my cv. I researched companies and came across CV pal. Within and hour of enquiring I received a call from Andrew who spent half an hour going through my cv with me asking me what I wanted to achieve and his thoughts on how they could better it, with no pressure to purchase their packages. After spending a few hours thinking about it I bought the cv and cover letter package. Within 48 hours I received a brand new cv and cover letter that encapsulates my potential and experience within a page and half. It is precise, punchy and professional focussing on all my achievements and skills. I am now very exited to see what comes my way. Thank you Andrew and CV Pal for an incredible service. Will definitely be recommending you to all my family and friends.
