Why Choose My CV Writing Service?

It is common to believe that the highest priced service is the best, after all, they must be good to command up to £900 fees. Be careful, you do not always get what you pay for. The “cheapest” services will end up costing you much more in the long term when you realize you have just wasted your money on someone who used the same Word template you could have utilized and cost you that new job.  See my CV examples. The most expensive CV services can lead you to believe that you absolutely NEED an expensive CV and CV writers frequently secure their clients based on this sales pitch. If you are quoted a reasonable fee (somewhere well between the £80 and the £250), you have a good chance of paying for a well presented CV package that will generate interviews, boost your confidence and frequently position you as a candidate worthy of that new position and higher salary. 

See My CV Examples – If you order a piece of jewellery from a catalogue, you will want to see it first. Do you want to spend money on an item without seeing examples. This is one of the most compelling tales of a CV service’s quality. Without viewing CV examples, how can you be sure that their CVs are the best or the most successful?

Many CV writers claim to offer outstanding CVs without any proof. You can contact these companies to request an example only to be told that “each client is different, an example will not help.” An expert CV writer is an expert CV writer and there should be nothing to hide. If you do see CV examples, make sure they are legible and not small graphics of what it will “look like,” as you have to be able to read it! In addition to just looking impressive, the content must be compelling as it is the content that makes the employer to pick up the phone. Not seeing an example is a sure sign that this service merely “types” CVs rather than actually composing effective marketing documents designed to impress employers.

Years of Experience – Though this is sometimes difficult to confirm, information can be verified merely by talking the "expert" person in charge of the service. Do not rely merely on what a website claims, pick up the phone and talk to the owner. Ask questions as to when they started in the business, what their background consists of and how many CVs they have written. Question them on CV trends, job search statistics and their success rate. In short, get a feel for who will be managing your writing project. If he or she falters, or seems to steer the conversation away from themselves and back onto you, i.e., trying to sell their services without even listening to your questions or what you need, chances are they are not as experienced as they say. Please call me to discuss my CV service and how I can help you.

There are many Freelance CV writers. They market their services to other CV Writing Services and work for a number of companies. I do not and never have marketed my CV service to other companies. I believe that I possess unrivalled experience in this industry, I have over 16 years experience and have written over 6000 CVs.

The CV website should be one that offers you valuable CV information. It should address the your needs, with services such as writing advice and CV examples, clear pricing and service explanations.

Personalized service and relationships - probably the most important aspect to factor in along with the above is your comfort level with your CV expert writer that is developed either by phone or email correspondence. You need to feel confident, not pressured. You need to be sure that your writer is going to work with you no matter what and that the writer will be open to suggestions. Yes, they are the expert, but it is your CV. If someone dictates what you need without considering your concerns, you will never feel comfortable using your CV. Make sure that you gain a sense of personalized attention, not empty promises. Even if a writer is busy (and most good services are busy for a reason), you should have a feeling of assurance that your needs will be just as important as other clients.
