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 rang CV pal and got straight through to Andrew who was extremely helpful and made me feel at ease. Andrew was very easy to talk too, I explained I was calling on behalf of my husband and he was fantastic I emailed him a copy of my husband's cv and with in minutes he had called me back with options on how and what they could do to help him. I was impressed on how professional this organisation was. With in a day Andrew had spoken to my husband and made him feel at ease and within 3days his cv and covering letter were back - they are fantastic and my husband has already had interest in his CV. Andrew stressed that he was here to help and if there was anything else he could do to help he would and he stuck to his word, helping my husband with a linked in profile. Within a fortnight my own career opportunities changed when I rang Andrew and asked him to create my cv. I was contacted by Tara who also was extremely friendly, polite and helpful who wrote a fantastic CV and covering letter for me.

I cant stress enough on how helpful Andrew and Tara were and my husband and I would recommend cvpal to anyone and everyone.
I have been in the same company for over ten years - promoted from within to director. Leaving via redundancy was a shock to the system. Not only did the guys at CV pal help me recognise that my details could be massively enhanced but they also spent time listening to what I needed and ensured that I remained positive. A new job once you are over 40 is scary - they helped me make the transition. Thanks guys, they really are a proper family business caring about individuals and making you shine.

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 I have used CV writing services as I was just no good at selling myself and the format, well, it looked so outdated.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.
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.

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.
