CVs and Cover Letters

It makes a big difference to get a job you want rather than one you're just prepared to settle for. Whether you're about to graduate or are only looking for work over the summer, finding the right job depends on making the right first impression through your cover letter and curriculum vitae.

From what I saw in my last job as a general manager of a small business and from being involved in other hiring processes, it doesn't take much to stand out. A lot of cover letters and CVs that employers receive are poorly formatted, not targeted to the particular job and don't appropriately highlight the applicant's strengths and skills.

If you're about to start looking for work, I can help make sure that your CV and cover letter goes to the top of the pile and gets you off to a good start in your future career.

As with all of the services I am offering here, this service will only be available at these rates for a short time before I finish my own study and return to full-time employment so take advantage of this opportunity while it lasts!

CV Editing

I've written and seen a lot of CVs in my professional life and am familiar with what employers are looking for as well as the mistakes potential employees often make when writing this document. I can edit your CV to ensure that it is appropriately formatted and structured and that it conveys your strengths and skills to your prospective employer.

Cover Letter Editing

Your cover letter is almost more important than your CV as it is where employers first look to see that you've read and understood the role you're applying for and that you have the skills necessary to fulfil it. I can help you write a succinct, effective cover letter that makes it clear that you're a candidate worth considering.

Application and Interview Advice

In addition to my writing skills, I can also provide advice and coaching to help you understand what employers are looking for throughout the hiring process and how to make yourself stand out. This includes but is not limited to providing coaching on how to present yourself in interviews.


Pricing

The prices below for interview advice and coaching exclude travel costs if applicable. I am happy to provide a quote for any of these services, but as a general rule editing an existing CV would usually take me 1-2 hours at most, whereas helping you write a new CV is likely to take longer. Cover letters generally take around 1 hour to write, less to edit.
