I’m here to help
My thorough, made-to-measure CVs shine a light on your real-world successes, help you make career decisions that matter and give you a fresh outlook on your future.
Through my coaching approach, I do my very best to 'really see you'.
I don’t just take your old CV, drop it into a flashy template and tweak a few lines. I build a brand new document, refining every sentence, adding strong new content and trimming anything that no longer serves you. My goal is to help you feel confident about your abilities.
I showcase you as a knowledgeable professional through clear, optimised wording on your CV and (if you like) your LinkedIn™ profile.
My focus is to distinguish you from the crowd. I tease out your skills, highlight your best achievements and present you in a new way. Your conversation with me, alongside your new CV, helps your self-confidence to improve and gives you the courage to seek out better roles.
My specialist CV writing service is for you, if:
✮ You’re a tradesperson, technician or office worker, from hands-on roles to supervisory positions
✮ You’re modest or reserved and don’t feel comfortable selling yourself ‘on paper’
✮ Your CV no longer matches your skillset, future ambitions or personal growth
✮ You find it hard to put your achievements into words and have no idea where to begin with updating your CV
✮ You’ve been out of the jobseeking world for a while and your CV is out of date or old-fashioned
✮ You just don’t have the time or confidence to spend hours wrestling with CV formatting and content
✮ You need a confidence boost - from an experienced, objective outsider who can make you shine
✮ You’re thinking about moving into a new industry and need help promoting transferable skills
✮ You believe working with an expert is a lasting investment in your career
“Very pleased with my new CV and thank you for your expertise in bringing it up to date.”
You get…
✮ EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF YOUR CV REVIEWED AND REFRESHED IN DETAIL – by me, not an outsourced freelancer, focussing on what sets you apart from other candidates
✮ BESPOKE PROFILE STATEMENT describing your key skills, achievements and motivations – the 'essence' of you
✮ PROMINENT DEMONSTRATION OF SKILLS to highlight your ‘added value’ - no generic "good communicator" or “team player” statements here!
✮ KEY ACHIEVEMENTS focussed on real, quantifiable outcomes wherever possible
✮ AUTHENTIC WRITING – I get to know you by asking the right questions, so that I can articulate who you really are, and write the CV as if you wrote it yourself
✮ CLARITY AND FOCUS, enhancing relevant content and reducing ‘fluff’ to clearly emphasise your future direction
✮ NEW LAYOUT designed to help hands-on workers demonstrate clarity and impact
✮ UP TO 1 HOUR OF 1:1 ZOOM CONSULTATION, drawing out key information to help me to understand you, your achievements and your aspirations, to target your CV and 'sell' you in the best way possible
✮ YOUR NEW CV IN WORD FORMAT, giving you the power to update it yourself going forward, using the same style
✮ A BOLD CV that should serve you well through your next couple of career steps with only minor updates
✮ OPTIONAL ADD-ONs including LinkedIn™ profile writing, covering letters and interview coaching
I aim to be a true partner in your career journey
“Thank you very much for my new CV. The wording and content is brilliant - I didn’t recognise myself! :-)”
LinkedIn™ profiles
LinkedIn™ offers many ways to increase your visibility to prospective employers, boost your professional image and expand your network.
Whilst your LinkedIn™ profile should reflect your CV - after all, your career journey is your career journey - I don’t do a simple ‘copy and paste’. I create individual, polished profiles, based on your CV yet making the most of the features of LinkedIn™ to raise your professional online presence.
Stand out with a new professional profile and let LinkedIn™ work for you.
I’ll update your LinkedIn™ profile in the following ways:
✮ Your entire profile will be reviewed and updated – aligning the content with your new CV to refresh and enhance your professional brand
✮ If you don’t have a LinkedIn™ profile, I’ll create one from scratch for you
✮ Your new profile will highlight key points and use relevant keywords, taking full advantage of FREE LinkedIn™ profile features to enhance your visibility
✮ ALL relevant elements of your profile - not just the ‘About’ and ‘Experience’ sections - will be optimised to improve searchability, increasing the chances of you being found by recruiters
✮ I’ll bring your profile to life – including any details of your workplace successes uncovered during our consultation
✮ I’ll create a new, bespoke banner image to help your profile stand out and be visually appealing
