Professional CV service
Uncover your true potential, and get employed
You may find this strange us saying this, but we feel we have to be honest with up front you so that you make the best decision for you, your family and your career.
If you just want a CV, then our apologies for being on average twice as expensive as an average CV Writer, but you would probably be better to go to CV Writer.
Our customers say that they recommend our Professional CV service, as they get employed quicker through use of our professional Job Application techniques, as well as having a great CV.
A CV or employment?
As recruiters who investigated providing a service, one thing we noticed about CV Writers was that they all claimed to write great CV’s: and honestly, we know some of them do. But the people who buy these CV’s just want to apply for jobs. Many people have difficultly looking at themselves objectively, so going to a CV Writer helps them achieve this “apply for jobs” activity quicker
What we saw from our office as recruiters, and in talking to career professionals to develop this service, was that professionals want to get employed, not just apply for jobs. So that is what our Professional CV service is aimed at and guaranteed to do – to get you more interviews quicker, to get you employed.
Applying for jobs is actually quite easy today. You register on a jobs board, or read a local or national newspaper, and see what job adverts appeal or that which you have the skills for. You then simply write a Cover Letter, enclose your CV, and complete the application form and wait – anywhere between 3days and 4weeks. Because you don’t know when the employer will come back to you, just in case you apply for other jobs – either by simply clicking to apply via jobs board alerts, or printing out more CV’s and Cover Letters.
Job Application statistics
The result of all this job application activity is typically for every 10 to 20 job applications you make, you will get 1 telephone interview if you employed a CV Writer; your ratio will be lower than 1 interview in 20 if you created your own CV
Now, accepting as recruiters that to get a candidate employed you need both the skills to do the job (functional fit), and to match within the team (social fit); even the best executive recruiters would consider a success ratio of around 66% excellent.
So, to get yourself employed using a CV Writer would normally take in excess of 40 job applications, resulting in 4 telephone interviews and 2 physical interviews to get 1job, and hence be employed. Typically, most job applicants apply for five jobs a week, so at the earliest you might get a job in 8 weeks. As the average UK wage is £24,000, job application could cost your in excess of £4,800 in lost income alone – that could easily double if you have written your own CV.
And yet our service is only £147, the equivalent of 1 days pay for the average British worker, and comes with a guarantee.
Get Employed quicker!
Our Professional CV service starts with a guarantee of at least one job interview. We are confident in offering that guarantee, as our measured statistics prove that our Professional CV service client gets one interview in every 2.6 job applications, and employed in four weeks
How do we achieve this?
