How do I work?
Working with you is a collaboration and a trusted partnership. A vital part of the process is obtaining your details and getting to understand you and your career aspirations. This can be done in many ways that suit you. When I have your information I then create your CV or LinkedIn from scratch, writing in ‘your voice’ and target your CV and LinkedIn towards your career goals. You can expect your CV and LinkedIn to reflect your achievements, career, skills and personality in an interesting, compelling way to prospective employers. It will also be packed full of keywords to get through ATS systems. When the interviews start to come in, if you would like interview coaching then let me know!
How much do your services cost?
My rates for writing are based on £80 per hour. It takes between 2-6 hrs to write a CV from scratch depending on your level of experience and I have 3 different CV rates to reflect this. Please contact me for a detailed list of my services, the process and rates.
Who are your services for?
I work with people from career entry-level up to C-Suite executives internationally and everyone in-between. I have multi-sector experience and can support people in any industry.
How long will it take?
Can I make any changes to my CV or LinkedIn?
Yes. I email your new professional CV back to you for your approval. If you need any changes at this stage, just let me know and I will do them quickly for you. Your CV will be sent in Word and PDF, enabling you to ‘own’ your CV and edit if needed further down the line.
When I get a new job, can you add it onto my new CV or LinkedIn?
Yes. It’s good to keep it up-to-date. Once you’ve had your professional CV or LinkedIn created, you won’t ever need to pay the full cost again for a new one. To add any new experience to your CV work would be charged by the hour.
Can I have a 1-1 consultation?
Yes if you would like to tell me your details in person, I advise booking in an in-depth 1-1 consultation. This is an additional £45 and our meeting can be via phone/Zoom or Skype. I would advise this if possible as it helps to gain a deeper understanding of you and your experience.
About Me
I always wanted to be a writer; it was the only subject I truly loved at school. Like many of my customers I now work with, I thought I needed a ‘proper’ job so I opted for a business degree and then started a career in HR. Specialising in recruiting, selecting and training new staff, I was the one who sifted through mountains of CVs and made decisions on who to select and who to reject.
The writer in me became fascinated by CVs and the person in me wanted to hire everyone. I was amazed, sometimes shocked and always intrigued by how people wrote about themselves and came across at interview.
