Great Products!

First off Jen was great and helped a lot with an initial telephone appointment, that made things easy to get started. Vicki then produced my CV. She was brilliant. There were a couple of things we needed to change after the first draft but it was easy to do and the end product was great. Vicki was really helpful and easy to work with. Would thoroughly recommend them.

As a senior-level executive

As a senior-level executive, I was initially apprehensive about whether a third-party service could truly capture the depth and breadth of my experience on paper. Those concerns disappeared very quickly with The CV Guru team. From start to finish, the process was highly professional, collaborative, and reassuring.

I am admittedly grammar-obsessed. When I asked questions or made suggestions, they quickly responded with their thinking and logic and focused on the finer details. The writing quality was flawless. Special thanks to Sean, who went above and beyond to update my CV following a recent role change. His ability to distil complex responsibilities into sharp, impactful language was outstanding.

The result is a CV that not only reflects my senior-level achievements with clarity and precision but also gives me confidence in how I am positioned for future opportunities. The whole team were brilliant, and I would not hesitate to recommend The CV Guru to any professional looking to elevate their personal brand.

Returning customer to CV GURU

Returning customer as CV GURU played a massive part in securing my current role - the quality of my CV was singled out for praise!

Really quick service, my CV was updated by Wendy who was already aware of my background and was able to not only give me a current version, but along with Jen compiled a full and comprehensive LinkedIn profile - a platform I had never used before

Work colleagues have viewed and have nothing but praise- what CV GURU did in a matter of two or three working days would have taken me a fortnight - and make the whole process very straightforward in circumstances that could have been very intimidating!

In my opinion well worth the cost to have such a professional product and excellent service - I’ll be back with no hesitation should I move on to the next chapter of my career!

Excellent company.

This company had been recommended by former colleagues and friends. I paid for a package and simultaneously secured a job without ever completing the detail they required. Each month CV Guru sent a gentle nudge to complete the process. When I did require the CV products at short notice James was 1st class in what he turned around, offering to tweak and alter whatever I felt was required. A very personal and professional company.

I would 100% recommend using CV Guru.

Happy with the service

This was my first time hiring someone to build my CV, and I can honestly say I feel relieved and happy with the result. I’d like to thank James Lee for his excellent work on my academic CV and his commitment to responding to my comments promptly. I would have given a full five stars, but I had to go through the CV myself to adjust some terminology to better fit my healthcare background. Much of the original wording felt more suited to a corporate context rather than a health setting. However, I'm still happy with the overall service.
