Get the Interview, Get Hired
The reputation of The CV Writing Service is built on the quality of our CVs, which is why every CV undergoes a completely bespoke analysis by your CV writer. Moreover, Lynn, our chief CV consultant, quality-assures every CV we compose. The team has over 40 years of combined industry experience in recruitment and professional CV writing, which is well reflected in the success of our work.
The process of our professional CV writers always begins with an initial remote consultation, during which we gather the facts and evidence to allow us to write a CV that will stand you in good stead to secure interviews within your chosen job or sector. We like to dig deep to find skills and talents that you may overlook as irrelevant but set you apart from the rest in the eyes of recruiters.
Our professional CV service is completely bespoke to showcase your skills and experience. Before the writing begins, our CV writers take time to research the jobs, sector or company where you’d like to get hired, so that your CV can be populated with the correct keywords.
All our CVs are optimised to be compatible with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), so you won’t get overlooked because the ATS can’t understand your skills and experience. ATS software matches your CV to the job description and assigns an initial score for your suitability for the role. Unfortunately, ATS can’t interpret graphics, and most can’t read content in text boxes, headers, etc. For this reason, we don’t provide design-led CVs and only provide CVs using minimal but correct formatting to ensure your CV passes a software scan and gets passed on to a human being to read.
It’s important to us that you are satisfied and entirely comfortable with the final document. This is why your professional CV writer will discuss various options with you before producing your CV, and why we offer a satisfaction guarantee as standard with the CV writing service.
Your draft CV will be emailed five working days after your consultation. If you require any amendments, contact us within three days of receipt of your CV, and your CV writer will continue to amend your CV for up to 7 days until you are fully and completely satisfied with the final version.
Occasionally, we will call clients to discuss requested amendments if we believe the revision would be detrimental to securing an interview, as we always have our client’s best interests at heart.
For your data security, I can only take payment online.
Covering Letters
Covering letters are an excellent opportunity for you to let the employer know a little bit more about yourself and step outside the restrictions that tailoring your CV to the job advert has imposed.
Your covering letter is the very first thing a potential employer will read; it can set you apart and make you more memorable, piquing the interest of the recruiter so that they want to meet with you at interview. However, it’s also important to get the balance right and not put off your reader with a life history or totally unrelated facts. Our professional cover letters will achieve this for you.
