Upgrade your CV into an interview winning wingman

You have a CV, right? It may be a little dusty and unloved, but you know that you and that pesky little document still have a spark.

It’s commonly noted how recruiters and hiring managers review a CV for as little as 6 seconds, and an average of around 30. I can make every single one of those seconds count in your favour.

Perhaps your CV seems a little too wordy, or the format is just not right. Maybe it reads more like a shopping list of responsibilities than a true professional marketing document. You probably just need someone to give it a tune-up and remove clichés and common errors.

You’re going to want to work with someone who not only knows how to string a few words together, but understands the recruitment and hiring industry. Someone who can tell you exactly what happens on the other side once your CV is sent off to a job application or directly to a recruiter. The kind of stuff you pick up once you’ve spent a few years doing just that for thousands of candidates and hundreds of hiring teams in a few different countries.

With this hourly, you will have access to the expertise of a successful senior career recruiter and HR consultant with international experience. I will review your CV, fix errors in format and syntax, plus make some key changes to optimise the visual impact and search result ranking of the CV according to preferences of major UK job boards. I’ll also make further recommendations for how to take your CV from ‘good’ to ‘excellent’.

As an outcome you'll get:

• A reformatted CV – maximising visual impact and general readability (both human eye and job-board tagging)
• Spelling and grammar errors corrected
• Removal of any irrelevant or damaging components that would cause a reviewer to discard your CV
• Summary of recommendations for how to further improve your CV
• Revisions until you are happy!

Please note this is not a full CV re-write. If you need a more in-depth overhaul or something written from scratch, check out my other hourlies or the add-ons below.

This service is suited for first time job-seekers to senior manager/director level professionals. CV size should be no more than 4 pages. Get in touch if you have specific requirements, I will usually respond within 12 hours, always within 24. Custom packages can be agreed on request as a combination of hourlies/add-ons.
