great service, was a bit sceptical at first, but landed a great job within a couple of weeks of posting my CV. Cannot thank the team enough.

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!
Faultless service from start to finish. I never once felt like it was a 'hard' sell and Andrew gave me so much information prior to payment that I knew he knew what he was talking about. Worth every single penny, I found it difficult to write about myself in a succinct way, but Andrew 'got' me after only a 10 minute phone conversation - he was extremely supportive. I'm so happy with my new CV that accurately reflects my career, and I will update with my progress!

As a HRD with 16 years experience of working as an Interim for Corporate and SME clients, I needed a new CV to market my service to both Interim Executive Recruiters or to CEO/HR teams. I have been extremely impressed with the service provided by CV Pal who truly understood my needs and provided excellent value for money services in a professional yet friendly manner.

An exceptional CV service, very happy to recommend to others.
CVpal helped me look at my CV with fresh eyes and were friendly and sympathetic as well as professional and knowledgeable. I am recommending their services to friends, in fact anyone out there whose CV needs a little TLC.
