CV Writing Services
Who Will Be Writing My CV?
Your CV will be assigned to one of our UK-based, professional writers who has experience relevant to your industry and career level. They are experts in recruitment, HR, and career coaching.
How Does the CV Writing Process Work from Start to Finish?
A simple 4-step CV writing service process:
- You place an order and submit your current CV/career info.
- We match you with the best writer for your needs.
- You collaborate with your writer to ensure all details are perfect.
- You receive your first draft in 2 days and can request unlimited revisions.
How Is My New CV Explicitly Tailored to My Requirements?
We don’t use templates. Your writer will analyse your experience, skills, and career goals to create a unique CV from scratch that highlights your specific achievements and value proposition.
Could You Please Help Me If I’m Considering a Career Change?
Yes, this is a core strength. We are skilled at identifying your transferable skills and presenting your experience compellingly. You can see examples of how we’ve helped clients successfully transition to new industries in our success stories.
How Quickly Will I Receive My New CV?
You will receive the first draft of your new CV within just two working days of providing all the necessary information to your writer.
What Do I Need to Provide to Get Started?
Your existing CV is the best starting point, even if it’s out of date. We will also ask you for information about the types of jobs you are targeting so we can tailor the content effectively.
What Does “ATS-Friendly” Actually Mean?
It means the CV is structured and formatted correctly to be easily read and parsed by Applicant Tracking System software. We avoid using tables, columns, and graphics that can cause errors, ensuring the recruiter sees your information as intended.
How Much Input Will I Have?
A great deal. The process is collaborative. You can communicate with your writer, provide feedback, and request changes until you are 100% happy, thanks to our unlimited revisions policy. This commitment to satisfaction is why our clients have given us 4.9/5 ratings.
What File Formats Will My Final CV Be Delivered in?
You’ll receive the final version in both Microsoft Word (.docx) format for easy editing and Adobe PDF (.pdf) format for safe, professional sharing.
Cover Letter Writing
Is a Cover Letter Essential Anymore?
Yes. A great cover letter is your first opportunity to show your personality and genuine interest in a role. It proves you’ve done your research and allows you to connect your skills directly to the employer’s needs in a way a CV cannot.
Can I Order a Cover Letter Separately from a CV?
Absolutely. While we offer discounted packages, you can purchase our cover letter writing service as a standalone product.
Do You Write a Generic Cover Letter or One for a Specific Job?
We can do both! Our most popular service is a letter tailored to a specific job description you provide. We can also create a powerful, all-purpose cover letter that you can adapt for multiple applications.
What Information Do You Need to Write My Cover Letter?
We require your updated CV and, for optimal results, a link to the job description for which you are applying. This enables us to tailor your letter precisely to what the employer is seeking.
Who Writes the Cover Letter?
Our team will write your cover letter for professional writers. If you order it with a CV, we ensure the same writer handles both to maintain a consistent tone and style.
How Long Will My Cover Letter Be?
We follow industry best practices, keeping your cover letter concise, powerful, and typically between half a page and one full page in length.
May I Request Changes to My Cover Letter?
Of course. Our unlimited revisions policy also applies to cover letters. We’ll work on it until you’re satisfied that it perfectly represents you.
What Makes a Cover Letter Written by You Stand Out?
We move beyond simply re-stating your CV. We craft a compelling narrative that addresses the employer’s pain points and positions you as the ideal solution, creating a direct and memorable appeal.
What’s the Turnaround Time for a Cover Letter?
The turnaround time is the same as our CV service: just two working days for the first draft.
I Need Cover Letters for Several Different Types of Roles. Can You Help?
Yes. We recommend starting with a single, well-tailored letter. We can then discuss creating other versions or providing you with a versatile template for future use.
LinkedIn Profile Optimisation
Why Do I Need a Professionally Written LinkedIn Profile?
Recruiters use LinkedIn as their primary search tool. A professionally optimised profile with the right keywords significantly increases your visibility, helps you show up in more searches, and presents a polished, credible brand to potential employers.
Do I Have to Share My LinkedIn Password with You?
No, never. For your complete security and privacy, we will never ask for your login details. We provide all the optimised content in an easy-to-use document for you to copy and paste into your profile.
What Specific Parts of My Profile Will You Write?
Our LinkedIn Profile Writing Service includes crafting a compelling, keyword-rich Headline and “About” section, and revising your “Experience” sections to focus on achievements rather than just job duties.
How Do You Know Which Keywords to Use?
Our writers research the most relevant and frequently searched keywords for your specific industry, role, and skill set, ensuring your profile is optimised for how recruiters are searching.
I’m Not Actively Looking for a Job. Is This Service Still for Me?
Yes. A strong LinkedIn profile is essential for professional networking, building credibility in your field, and attracting opportunities that you may not even be aware of. It’s a key part of modern career management.
Will You also Help with My Profile Picture or Banner?
While we don’t offer graphic design, our experts will provide you with best-practice advice on what makes an effective, professional profile picture and banner image.
How Do I Update My Profile with the Content You Send?
We provide clear, step-by-step instructions. It’s a simple process of copying the text from our document and pasting it into the corresponding sections on your LinkedIn profile.
How Do You Ensure My LinkedIn Profile is Consistent with My CV?
When ordered as a package, the same writer creates both documents, ensuring a consistent and powerful LinkedIn Headline and personal brand message across your CV and LinkedIn profile.
How Long Does the LinkedIn Optimisation Process Take?
You will receive your professionally written content for your profile within our standard two-day turnaround time.
Will I Start Getting Job Offers Immediately?
While an optimised profile significantly increases your visibility to recruiters, it’s a tool to attract opportunities. The volume of approaches depends on demand in your industry, but you will be far better positioned to be found.
CV Editing Services
What is the Main Difference between CV Editing and CV Writing?
CV Writing is a service that creates a new CV from scratch. CV Editing is for when you already have a good CV but want a professional to proofread, polish, and format it to perfection.
Who Is the Ideal Customer for Your CV Editing Service?
Someone confident in the content of their CV (their experience, achievements, etc.) but wants an expert eye to check for grammar, improve flow, enhance formatting, and ensure ATS compatibility.
What Exactly Is Included in the CV Editing Service?
Our service includes a full proofread for spelling and grammar, improvements to phrasing and sentence structure, professional formatting adjustments, and an ATS compatibility check.
What Is Not Included in CV Editing?
CV Editing Services does not include a complete rewrite or the addition of new content. For that, you would need our full CV Writing service.
Why Can’t I Use a Spell Checker?
A spell checker can’t catch context errors, awkward phrasing, or formatting issues. Our professional editors ensure that your CV is not only error-free but also reads with an experienced and confident tone.
Will Editing My CV Make It ATS-Friendly?
Yes. As part of our editing process, we will check and adjust the formatting to ensure it is optimised to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems.
How Long Does the Editing Process Take?
Our CV editing service is speedy. You can typically expect to receive your professionally edited CV back within 24 to 48 hours.
How Will I See What Changes You’ve Made?
We will provide you with a “tracked changes” version of the document, allowing you to view all suggested edits and have complete control over the final version.
Can You Shorten My CV to Two Pages?
Yes. If your CV is too long, our editors are experts at concisely phrasing information and adjusting formatting to meet the industry-standard two-page CV length.
Is the Editor a Professional CV Writer?
Yes, all our editing is performed by the same team of professional CV writers and career experts who provide our primary writing services.
Personal Statement Writing
Who Is the Personal Statement Service for?
This service is designed for individuals seeking a compelling narrative for their application. This is most common for university applicants (UCAS), Master’s or PhD candidates, and those applying for training contracts or roles requiring a formal statement.
How Do You Ensure That My Statement Sounds Authentic and Like Me?
This is our top priority. The process is highly collaborative. We use a detailed questionnaire and direct communication to understand your voice, motivations, and story, which our writers then craft into a polished, authentic statement.
Is Using This Service Considered Cheating?
Not at all. It is an ethical and professional Personal Statement Writing Service. We are not fabricating your experiences; we are helping you articulate your own story and achievements in the most compelling way possible, just as a professional editor would.
Are Your Writers Familiar with UCAS Requirements and Word Limits?
Yes, our writers are highly experienced with the strict character and line limits of UCAS applications, as well as the specific requirements of academic and professional statements.
What Information Do I Need to Provide?
You will be asked to provide details on the course or role you’re applying for, your academic and work background, and your motivations, ambitions, and relevant experiences. The more detail you provide, the better.
Can You Help If I’m Unsure about What to Write about?
Our writers are skilled at asking the right questions to help you brainstorm and identify the key experiences and qualities that will make your statement stand out.
How Long Does It Take to Get My Statement?
The first draft of your statement will be delivered within our standard two-day turnaround period.
Are Revisions Included?
Yes, our unlimited revisions policy applies. We will refine the statement with your feedback until you are confident it perfectly represents you and your goals.
How Do You Make My Statement Unique?
We focus on your unique story. Instead of relying on clichés, we delve into your specific examples and achievements to craft a narrative that is memorable, personal, and impactful.
Can You Write Statements for Scholarship Applications?
Yes. We can tailor our service to a wide range of application types, including scholarships, grants, and fellowships, adapting the content to meet the specific criteria of each application.
Graduate CV Writing Services
I’m a Student/New Graduate with No ‘real’ Work Experience. How Can You Write a CV for Me?
This is our expertise. We know how to shift the focus from a long work history to your potential. We highlight your academic achievements, relevant modules, dissertations, internships, volunteering, and key projects to build a powerful Graduate CV that showcases what you can bring to a role.
How Do You Make My CV Stand Out When I Have the Same Degree as Hundreds of Other Applicants?
We focus on what makes you unique. We go beyond your degree title and dig into your specific projects, personal statements, and extracurricular activities to build a compelling narrative. We ensure your brand and potential shine through, not just your qualifications.
Which CV Package Is the Right One for a Student or Recent Graduate?
Our “Early Career” package is designed specifically for you. It’s tailored for individuals with 0-3 years of professional experience, making it the perfect choice to get your career started on the right foot. Learn more about How Much Does Our Professional CV Writing Service Cost?
I Only Have a Part-Time Job in a Bar/Shop. Is That Even Relevant to My Professional Career?
Absolutely. We are experts at extracting valuable, transferable skills from any role. Your part-time job demonstrates teamwork, customer service, time management, and reliability—all qualities that graduate employers highly value.
Is This Service Suitable for Applying to Competitive Graduate Schemes?
Yes. We understand that graduate schemes often look for specific competencies. We tailor and showcase the soft skills for CV and attributes that recruiters for these schemes are actively looking for, aligning your experience with their requirements.
What Structure Do You Use for a Graduate CV? Should My Education Be at the Top?
Yes, for a graduate CV, we typically lead with a powerful personal profile, followed immediately by your education section, which is placed prominently at the top. This is the industry standard, ensuring recruiters see your most relevant qualifications first.
As a Graduate, Do I also Need a Cover Letter and a LinkedIn Profile?
We highly recommend it. A cover letter enables you to demonstrate your specific motivation for a role, while a professional LinkedIn profile is essential for establishing your professional network. Our graduate packages often bundle these for the best value and impact.
What Kind of Skills Should I Include on My Graduate CV?
We will help you identify and articulate a mix of technical skills (e.g., software, laboratory techniques, coding languages) acquired during your studies, as well as transferable soft skills (e.g., analytical thinking, research, teamwork) demonstrated through your projects and experiences.
Is It Worth Investing in a Professional CV at the Very Start of My Career?
It’s one of the best investments you can make. A strong, professional CV can lead to more interviews and a better first job, setting a higher trajectory for your entire career from the outset.
Can You Help With a CV for an Internship Application, Not Just a Full-Time Job?
Yes. The principles are the same, and we have helped many students secure top-tier internships. We will tailor the CV to focus on your academic knowledge and eagerness to learn, positioning you as an ideal candidate for an internship role.
