My CV was several years out of date and I was considering a career change within the same industry. I rang CVPAL (Andrew) and explained my position to which he also had questions for me. That in itself was re-assuring because it was clear that he wanted to produce a perfect CV for me. I sent my CV and a few job descriptions of the roles I was looking for and he did not disappoint. The customer service alone is beyond exceptional, I got it earlier than promised considering my deadline was sort notice and the CV is BRILLIANT. CV pal is brilliant and I without doubt recommend it anyone.

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!

I have been very impressed with the help I have received from Andrew at CVpal. Having not had the need for a CV for 10 years I was not looking forward to the process but he managed to completely de stress the whole thing. The face to face time was very useful and enabled us to bring to life and summarise my experience to date and I am very encouraged by the initial feedback I have had from prospective employers.

This is the second time I have used the service. As a busy senior HR professional I have to have a 5 star CV but needs to be realistic.
I worked very well with Andrew and we discussed and exchanged ideas. He is open to understanding his customer and not afraid to challenge where necessary. The company is very current with what the market wants and I would recommend this company to anyone wanting a good professional, solid CV.

Due to bieng made redundant 3 times in the last 18 months, I felt as though my CV was as tired as I felt. After reading the reviews for CV Pal, I thought that I would give them a call to see if their service was something that could help. I spoke with Tara first and I could tell that after 5 minutes talking with her that she understood that not only did I want my CV up dating but I wanted to be able to use my new cv to change the direction that I had found myself in within the finance sector but I wasn't sure how. I put the phone down feeling good about the opportunity of having CV Pals use their many years of experience to help me change my life. But in order to do that I needed to spruce up my CV and from having another call but with Andrew this time, I felt confident that I could reach my goal with their help. Andrew and Tara gave me the confidece that they knew what they were talking about and therefore gave me the confidence when I applied for jobs with the "new CV" that I would not have been considered for before. So much so, that after 2 interviews, I was offered a position with a very good company and I can't wait to start. Thanks Tara and Andrew you have been brilliant and well worth every penny.
