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 I have used CV writing services as I was just no good at selling myself and the format, well, it looked so outdated.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 was out of work for 6 months and while my old CV was good it had too much detail and lacked clarity. After contacting CVpal they revampted my CV with which I have secured a job which is not just another job but a great career opportunity.

Andrew was very positive with me from the start taking time to find out exactly what I type of career and job I was looking for and focused my CV towards that. In a short space of time I've been contacted by several companies which gave me a choice of options regarding which opportunity to pursue, it was great to have a choice.

If you have any doubts at all like I had initially, then please contact CVpal just for a chat- you will not be disappointed - after all what have you got to lose?

I had my personal cover letter created by CVPAL which I am delighted with.
The communication service is swift and exceptional. I would recommend this company to friends and family.

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!

I was going through a very stressful time looking to leave my current profession and start over and had no idea where to start with regards to looking for a new job or what a CV should look like after 20 years. I rang CV Pal and spoke to Andrew who was completely down to earth, very easy to talk to and understood where I was at and what needed to be done. I cannot recommend the company enough for their professionalism, their experience and their great service. Thank you to Andrew and Steve and the rest of the team at CV Pal.
