How to Write a CV - CV Writing Services, UK

Without a doubt a good, clear and concise CV or application form is paramount when making a career move, going for promotion, a new contract or simply applying for a new position. A good CV is certainly one of the single most important documents you are ever likely to need. Many people think that applying for a new position is all about presentation but this is only the tip of the iceberg. Certainly, if your presentation is not picked up within a few seconds then your CV may never be read. In fact it may be quickly shredded even before it reaches the recruiter’s desk!

However, if, in the very first instance your CV looks more than a little interesting, and is clear, concise and focused there may be little competition. The old adage “never judge a book by its cover” is not exactly true when it comes to marketing yourself via a professional CV.

Prospective employers may not consider opening a CV that is poorly presented and even such a tiny error as the wrong spelling of the recruiter’s, or the company’s, name may be enough for your CV to be dismissed without another thought.

How did we discover the winning formula for writing a CV? Working for Recruitment Agencies, and in various HR Departments we oversaw many hundreds of CVs a day, this made it easy for us to see just what it was that made one person seem like the ideal candidate whilst many others looked like time-wasters. However, for us that was not enough. We wanted to ensure that our services continually work so, to ensure that we continually offer a service that surpasses the majority, we constantly evaluate the progress of our services to ensure we are keeping up-to-date with changes.

However… here’s something else you probably didn’t know. Your CV can tell a prospective recruiter a lot about your character. If your CV is focused and clean and tidy it will reflect some positive attributes. Writing a CV that promotes you professionally and gives the impression that you are well organised and a good time keeper is not too hard when you have someone on your side who knows the secrets of good CV writing.

Even if you have good communication skills and are well organised if your CV is not structured properly this may not come across as effectively as you would like. We know how! We have an understanding of what the recruiter wants and how to match your skills to his needs. A CV that rambles on and on may make you look like a time-waster or even a chatterbox - so do try to keep it simple and to the point.

That is not to say that your CV has to be squashed into two pages. A two page CV is fine for a school-leaver but would hardly cut the dust with a mature professional. Within our CV library we have catalogues of successful CVs for high profile positions, which have won through the competition simply because long, or short they contain the necessary detail.

Dynamic word-smiths using concise and focused vocabulary we understand what propels a recruiter to move you to the next step in the job application process. We not only ensure the terminology we use suits the type of position you are targeting, but we also ensure it is focused on the exact criteria. During the past 15 years, we have compiled more professional and successful CVs, cover letters, follow up letters and application forms than you’ve had hot dinners! Our success is excessive!

Will your CV be Short-listed or Shredded?

As the best CV in the world is of no use unless a Recruiter sees it, we ensure our clients are given the best possible help in achieving this aim.

Recruiters can get dogged down with hundreds or even thousands of CVs to sift through. However, even if they had time to sift through them all the chances are that, without our help, there will be very few which will meet their expectations.

Our help and tips will help you surpass the competition, your CV will rise to the top of the pile, entice recruiters to call you immediately and maximise the ratio of interviews and job offers you receive.
