Andrew at CV Pal did an extensive interview that drew out my skills, The end result was comprehensive, but professional and to the point.

Once I started applying with my new CV, within 2 weeks I had 2 interviews for senior positions.
It was the ability for my CV to now portray me objectively that justify's the ratings I have given CV Pal.
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 I have used CV writing services as I was just no good at selling myself and the format, well, it looked so outdated.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. Itâs a personal choice but I wouldnât 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 have found this service exceptional and very good value for money. Andrew and Tara are highly professional and deliver everything they promise in the time scales they set.
Niamh Deacon, Gillingham
I highly recommend their service.
I was sceptical at first as to what or how I could really benefit by this service, but the contact and service I had from CV Pal was exceptional, friendly and quick. From using this service I have gone out of my way to get feedback on the layout and content of the new CV from various people in different industries apart from the one I currently work in, all commented on the professional appearance of the CV. I have now, within a few months of having it updated, got a job. Obviously not all of this was down to the CV but the updated version certainly helped. I would definitely advise this service to others and have done so.

As an HR Manager of a small business, I contacted Andrew to request his services in providing some redeployment support to several employees being made redundant due to company closure.
Claire Alden, High Wycombe
I was sceptical at first, of the service that may be provided due to other 'bucket shop' websites that I had reviewed, however my concerns were removed immediately within 5 minutes of talking to Andrew at CVPal.
Andrew provided an excellent service to all the employees. The CV's that were produced clearly highlighted each person's strengths and more importantly, through the conversations with Andrew, each person was injected with confidence to embark on their job search. All employees without question fed back on their own very positive time with Andrew.
CVPal provide an excellent service through their professionalism, efficiency and much needed empathy towards those who are trying to manage difficult and challenging changes in their careers.
I would very much reccommend Andrew's services to anyone who needs them.
Claire, HR Manager, Henley.
