Andrew came highly recommended from other interims in my network and having suffered a tough work year in 2013, I decided to invest in the CV Pal's platinum service to see if it made a difference in finding my next assignment. The results have been highly effective and I have recorded a 100% success rate in getting to interview stage with the new CV. The service and quality were excellent and this has been a worthwhile investment and fantastic value for money.

What can I say?

As if searching for a new job wasn't hard enough, I was faced the challenge of updating my CV. Made even harder by attempting to change careers, I felt i'd hit rock bottom with no idea of how to make the transition seem feasible to a new employer on paper. Luckily enough the guys at CV pal helped at just the right time!

Andrew and Tara not only helped with a great CV, but lifted my spirits with the whole process of changing career. Their work was fantastic, highlighting skills and achievements I had built up over time that; left with me, I would have passed off as unappealing to employers. Not only was the content professional, accurate and exciting, but the CV visually looked great too.

I cannot recommend CV Pal enough. From my initial phone call with them they made me feel at ease, gave some great tips and a month after my CV was complete I successfully landed a job in my desired career.

Thank you to all the team!

CVpal wrote my CV and Cover Letter, as I was struggling to secure interviews. The standard of CV well surpassed my expectations and I have since gained several interviews. I have now signed up to their Platinum Service, which allows me to get career advice, updated CVs, Cover Letters etc and I can call on them at anytime for advice. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting their CV or any other job related documents written.

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!
