The cost of each professionally written CV is dependant on your experience, particular skillset, and the nature and scope of your experience you feels applies to you. Why do I need a Cover Letter? A cover letter supports a well written CV. It is aimed primarily to provide additional information directly related to the role and job you are seeking, matching your work or achievement experience. This will make it easier for the recruiter or employer to cross check and map your CV to the role when seen side by side together. It also demonstrates you have considered the role you are applying for in the context of your experience and this will be appreciated.

When I receive my updated CV will I be able to discuss any questions with you about it? Absolutely, we will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have concerning your professionally written CV. I am applying for my first job, how will your CV Services help me? Even if you are applying for your first job, you can always make an impression with having a well structured and presented CV. After all there is always information to include such as education details, courses, awards, temporary jobs you have held, and what your career aspirations are. There is much a starter CV can say about you and it is very important to get that across when applying for your first job. If you have held temporary holiday jobs then you perhaps can ask for references which will support your CV. Are all CVs the same? The simple answer is no. A CV is written very specifically on the work history, experience and skill-set of the individual concerned. No two people will have the same CV and this is why there is an advantage, firstly in having one, but secondly in having one professionally written, because every relevant point can be brought out in such a way that will make a difference between those that have thought about their CV details, and those individuals that have just quickly put together a list of what they have done. Do not underestimate what a well written CV can do for you. It is what the recruiter/employer will expect if you are to get any chance to win that job. How much detail should I include in my CV? Normally 2 pages, especially if you include a Cover Letter with your application which will allow you to provide more information. Three pages may be applicable but will depend on the work experiences and normally apply to professional rather than a starter or intermediate CV. The goal is to represent in your employment history, what you have done and achieved, as summarised as possible but at the same time structuring the words and phrasing in such a way that the summary includes everything you want to say. When this is achieved you will have a CV that represents a powerful statement which will be picked up on review by the recruiter. Another benefit is that it will demonstrate that work and effort has been expended on producing your CV and this will be appreciated by anyone considering you for employment. If I have to complete an application form for a job, do I need a CV as well? Having a CV that is professionally written provides all the information you will need to complete all applications. This is because you will have all the information to hand, such as, previous experiences, work, educational history. In most cases it would simply be a case of transferring the information from your CV to the application form, there is no need to re-invent the details. This would be the same for on-line applications. When writing a CV for me does it matter what industry sector I work in? Generally not because we have experience of many working environments in many leading industry sectors, manufacturing, banking, technology industry, project management and retail.
