CV Support
Your CV isn’t just a list of jobs, it’s your personal marketing tool. It needs to work hard (and fast) to show what you bring to the table.
Recruiters Spend Just 7 Seconds on a CV, So Make Yours Count.
Most CVs get overlooked because they fail to highlight key skills, achievements, and industry expertise in a way that grabs attention.
Common CV Mistakes That Could Cost You an Interview:
❌ Grammatical errors and typos – Even small mistakes leave a bad impression.
❌ Inconsistencies in employment history – Clarity and accuracy are key.
❌ Poor formatting and unprofessional email addresses – First impressions count.
❌ Overly long CVs – Keep it concise, no more than two pages, and tailored to the role.
With over 12 years of experience in career coaching and CV development, I help professionals create clear, confident CVs that open doors. This isn’t a full rewrite; it’s a hands-on coaching service designed to help you get results and feel good about how you present yourself. So your contribution is vital.
Whether you’re returning to work, changing careers, or aiming for something more senior, your CV should reflect where you’re going, not just where you’ve been.

There are three main styles of CVs:
Functional (Skills-Based) CV
✔ Best for career changers, graduates, school leavers, or those returning to work.

✔ Ideal if you have gaps in employment or limited experience.
Reverse Chronological CV

Tailored CV (Most Recommended)
