I contacted CVpal to refresh my resume' after being out of the job market for 2 years due to illness.
Andrew my adviser was highly motivated in getting the cv presentation spot on and I think it matches my skill base and expertise that I have to offer prospective employees. I would recommend this team to any of my friends and colleagues.

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.

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!

After trying to get a CV that promoted my skills, and was accurate and comprehensive I finally decided to try one last time with CV Pal. To say I had been disappointed in money wasted with other so called professional CV writers is putting it mildly. On two occasions I was not convinced that my CV was being written by English native speakers, and would receive auto type responses. At one point I even asked if I was talking to a robot! As I paid a significant amount for a CV and covering letter I did not expect to have to rewrite it myself. Andrew and team however took my old CV and turned it into a document that was worthy of submission. The clarity and succinctness was such a contrast to the two other companies. Response time was great, I had a couple of small changes I wanted to make, and that was that. It was easy in the end. I then passed the CV through a couple of review sites. There was little or no change required. I can't recommend this company highly enough. Don't make the same costly mistakes!!
