CV Review

Have you ever applied for a new role without a CV?

Have you ever failed to progress to the next stage of a recruitment process, for a job you know you could do, after submitting your CV?

Then you know how fundamentally important it is to make sure your CV reflects you. This is what this service does. We review your CV and explain to you what a professional recruiter sees. We also support you to update, amend and tailor your CV to reflect you and the work / role / career / sideways step / return to work after a break, you want.

When you send us your CV you will also provide a brief summary of why you are reviewing your CV or we can have a quick telephone call (typically it takes less than 15mins, so we can schedule relatively quickly) and you can tell us what you are looking to achieve with your CV.

We undertake the obvious checks: spelling, grammar, punctuation, layout and content.  This is worthwhile for native and non-native English speakers because CVs bring out the strangest of expressions from a lot of people! We help you learn the skills to improve. Our constant mantra is this CV must reflect you – not us.

We review your CV in its entirety and look for a consistency of theme or the appropriate information to explain moves and gaps. Your CV is presenting a (true) story of you – we will ensure recruiters don’t feel they’re reading an introduction, paragraphs and conclusions from different books.

We will send you a ‘candidate summary’ which is a typical overview a recruiter will provide to a hiring manager, showing you how recruiters are interpreting your CV. This enables you, as the owner of your career, to review and amend to ensure you are presenting the professional image you want.

We will provide this within 24 hours of submission and provide a follow-up review to any amendments you make following any recommendations.
