Professional CV and LinkedIn profile writing
Optimise your personal profiles ready for your first or next career move
The job seeker’s challenge
In a competitive marketplace and so many applicants going for the same position, the biggest challenge is getting past the first stage screening process. With recruitment agencies using AI software to screen for keywords, what are the chances of your CV getting past the automated gatekeeper?
Put yourself in the best position for success with a professionally written skills-based CV. I’ve helped candidates at all ages and levels get a foot in the door for interview - and doing it fills me with joy!
What is a skills-based CV?
A skills-based CV brings to life your key skills and qualities and how you demonstrate these at work. Focusing on the types of jobs you’d like to achieve, I will optimise your CV using the keywords prospective employers expect to see in your application. Most clients also choose to combine their CV refresh with a LinkedIn profile review and re-draft.

How it works
Before we start, I’ll ask to see your CV and/or LinkedIn profile and examples of jobs you’d like to apply for or the kind of role you aspire to.
Video or phone brief to discuss your experience, qualifications, skills, qualities and how you demonstrate these at work.
I draft your CV and send you a copy as a Word document for approval.
