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 I have used CV writing services as I was just no good at selling myself and the format, well, it looked so outdated.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

Andrew was really helpful from our very first contact by telephone, and, as promised my cv arrived a few days later. Just a few modifications, and the final copy as e mailed to me within the hour. Brilliant service. Thank you for your kind help Andrew.

I am so impressed with the service I recievers from Andrew at cv pal - I was struggling no end to get interviews as my cv was long winded and 5 pages, cv pal got to down to two pages and easy to read and now they are coming along thick and fast. Nothing for him was too much trouble - we spent a long time on the phone on a couple of seperate occasions so I felt he really got to know me. He also explained my cv to me. I have had so many compliments on my cv and agencies have said how impressed they are with it! Andrew also wrote my cover letter and it is so professional and really stands out from the crowd! I would definitely recommend cv pal to anyone who was looking for their cv to be written professionally.

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.

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!
