I had considered having my CV professional prepared on a few occasions but heard horror stories of parting with your money and receiving a very poor service.
However after doing a bit of searching of reviews I contacted CVpal and Andrew and his team put together an exceptionally professional CV and cover letter for me.
Since uploading my CV on a couple of sites I have received 2 calls directly from people - not bad from less than a week.
So if you are hesitant about using CVpal, I would suggest that you contact them and like myself you will be amazed at the results.
Thank you Andrew and your team.

What can I say?

As if searching for a new job wasn't hard enough, I was faced the challenge of updating my CV. Made even harder by attempting to change careers, I felt i'd hit rock bottom with no idea of how to make the transition seem feasible to a new employer on paper. Luckily enough the guys at CV pal helped at just the right time!

Andrew and Tara not only helped with a great CV, but lifted my spirits with the whole process of changing career. Their work was fantastic, highlighting skills and achievements I had built up over time that; left with me, I would have passed off as unappealing to employers. Not only was the content professional, accurate and exciting, but the CV visually looked great too.

I cannot recommend CV Pal enough. From my initial phone call with them they made me feel at ease, gave some great tips and a month after my CV was complete I successfully landed a job in my desired career.

Thank you to all the team!

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 got my CV reviewed by Richard and he provided some feedback on possible improvements, so I decided to trust his professional opinion and I asked for creation of a new version together with a Cover Letter and a LinkedIn profile. He asked me a couple more information to add to what he had already on my previous CV, and after a few days I got all the items requested. The quality overall is very high and I was really happy with the result. I can only advise to anyone who desire an high quality CV.

I can not rate Andrew and his team highly enough! At a junction in my career, knew I needed some support and guidance from the right people, who could help with my CV and signpost me to the right places to start exploring new opportunities. Andrew and his team exceeded my expectations from the first call. Andrew drew out key information at the introductory meeting, opened up my thinking to other avenues and produced a top quality CV which not only illustrated my career achievements, Skills and CPD, but perfectly reflected my style and personality. This could only have been achieved by the level of detail and professionalism Andrew applied from the beginning to the end. After receipt of the CV Andrew offers ongoing support. Excellent service.
