What to look out for in a good CV writing service

• The CV must be tailored for your needs, highlighting your most impressive strengths and skills. Emphasis should be placed on the areas that are most relevant to your application. It must not be just a list of where you worked and what your responsibilities were. The CV must feel like it could only be about you.

• A telephone consultation (ideally) included to gain further insight into your skills and experience, as well as the type of work you are seeking. As well as using a set of templated questions, a conversational approach as well often uncovers many experiences and achievements that are often not exposed with a standard list of questions.

• You should be sent drafts for review, which (within reason), you can discuss until you are happy with a final version.

• Pricing of anywhere from £50 for school leavers / recent graduates / career starters, through to around £350 for experienced senior executives. If you have a good amount of career experience and are paying just £30 or so for a CV service, then even at minimum wage, that person is only spending about 4 hours to interview you, understand your goals and experience, and produce a document that will help shape your career. Is this good enough?!

• The service may typically take around 3-4 days and it is reasonable to expect it to take up to 7. If you need a 24 hour turnaround, don’t be surprised if you need to pay more for this.

What a good CV looks like

Your new CV should highlight your most impressive strengths, experience and achievements. Emphasis should be placed on the areas that are most relevant to your likely application(s) and target employer or type of employer. Don’t request or be sold a CV that is generic enough to be used for many types of work.

The curriculum vitae or resume is often the first point of contact between a job applicant andhis or her potential employer. If it fails to resonate with and impress the recruiter, the application may go no further. A good CV service should work to effectively ‘sell’ you as a candidate.
