Did you know that a CV is more than a piece of paper? It is a marketing tool designed to promote your skills, experience and achievements; making YOU the best candidate for the job.

Benefits Of A Professional CV Writer

Due to the experience and ability of many CV writers, there is a sense of objectivity that they can bring when developing your new CV. They have the ability to:

• Highlight your skills and strengths needed for a position
• Omit unnecessary information
• Pinpoint key factors to make the individual stand out

This level of objectivity when writing about your work experiences, completed projects or internships would mean that the CV writer can assess the relevance of certain tasks and choose the most appropriate qualities that suit the position.

What To Expect

If you choose to have your CV professionally written you must be prepared to spend time and money on the service. You will need to be willing to answer in-depth questions through the form of questionnaires or email correspondence; the more information you can give, the better equipped your CV writer will be.

Turnaround time will depend on the CV writer themselves, but industry standards suggest a first draft is sent to you within 3 business days. Usually, a revision period of 1 week follows to allow for optimal development of your CV.

On-Going Collaboration

The CV writing process involves as much input from the individual as possible to allow for authenticity of the document. You are able to guide the writer in the direction that you want your CV to take i.e. choice of words, writing style, font, layout, colours etc.

By doing so, you will have the ability to design your CV to suit your personality or job preferences. Bear in mind, that some CV writers will not be equipped to perform advanced graphics on your CV so you may need to consider additional support or advice.

Extras

Some CV writers provide additional services along with writing your CV. At CV Tips and Tricks, for example, we provide follow-ups, cover letters, LinkedIn profiles and interview coaching to assist you further with your job hunt.
