CV Writing Service

We will provide you with a professionally written CV.

The secret of our CV writing service lies in knowing precisely what to put in, precisely what not to put in, and exactly what kind of a spin to put on your CV, to ensure yours will stand right out from the crowd - to give you the very best possible chance of getting the job you want.  The advantages of having a cleverly written and powerfully-presented CV are obvious.  As the UK’s leading CV writing service, The CV Centre is here to help you.

Once we receive your order, it will be assigned to a professional, highly experienced CV writer, skilled in your industry, sector or discipline. They will then prepare a draft version of your new CV, before contacting you if necessary to clarify any minor points or to build up on any weaker areas. Just to get it absolutely right before we send the draft out for your approval.  And of course you’re more than welcome to request any changes at that stage.

Our Guarantees

Of course, under our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, if you're not 100% happy with your draft CV, we will revise it until you are. Simple as that. Customer service is our top priority - always has been and always will be.  But we generally get it right first time. 

And we do of course offer a full 100% Money-Back Guarantee as well. The last thing we want is an unhappy customer.

Other Services

In addition to our CV Writing service, we offer a range of related services:

Options when ordering our CV Writing service include:

LinkedIn Profile Writing

Is LinkedIn creating valuable job opportunities for you? Well, it certainly should be. When recruiters search LinkedIn looking for candidates in your line of work then you want them to find you - and then choose you.

Having a professionally written profile makes this much, much more likely, dramatically increasing your chances of getting the job you want - the job you deserve.

A LinkedIn profile is different from a CV or resume but just as important.

It's crucial to get the balance right on a LinkedIn profile by using the right keywords and being professional whilst still showing your personality.

The advantage of using our LinkedIn writing service is that we know exactly what to put in, what not to put in and what angle to put on your LinkedIn profile to ensure you'll get found ahead of your competition.

We’ll give your LinkedIn profile the complete overhaul. We will:

  • Research and provide search engine optimised keywords so that recruiting managers can easily find you
  • Completely re-write your profile in the first person narrative
  • Write a profile that shows your professional personality and makes you stand out from the crowd
  • Provide an enticing summary that captures who you are, what you are doing and what you want from your career
  • Eliminate all spelling and grammar mistakes from your profile
  • Make sure your profile has calls to action so that you get contacted

Interview Coaching

We offer a telephone-based interview coaching service to help give you that winning edge.  (And, for no extra charge, we can also work by webcam if you prefer.)

In our interview coaching sessions we can show you how to develop a winning strategy – planning and preparing for every eventuality and learning how to handle every possible kind of interview, from a brief chat over the telephone through to a trip to an assessment centre.

Your interview coach can take you through plenty of real interview questions and make sure you know how to avoid cliché and really make an impact when handling both the classic questions – and the really tough ones that interviewers can throw at you.

And we can take you beyond the interview to discuss what you need to do to close the deal to your advantage.

You'll find our interview coaching useful whether you are trying to land your first job, returning to the workplace after a career break or simply looking to take another step up the career ladder.

Our interview coaching service is also supported by a 100% Money-Back Guarantee.

Free CV Review

Send in a copy of your CV to The CV Centre and one of our professional CV writers will assess it and email you with their suggestions as to how it could be improved to ensure it is viewed more positively by a prospective employer.

One of our CV writers will look carefully at a wide range of important criteria, from common mistakes to content and presentation and deliver a review indicating exactly what can be improved - and where.

Cover Letters

Cover letters are, according to a recent survey, seen by almost 50% of recruiters as being equally as important as the CV itself, although most people unfortunately spend the least amount of time on them.  When someone has hundreds of CVs to shortlist from, cover letters set the tone of an application, and should inspire the reader to turn over enthusiastically and read the enclosed CV. Take advantage of our cover letter service and maximise your chances of getting through to the interview stage from only £7.50. All of our cover letters are written and printed in the same style as your CV, ensuring a fully co-ordinated image.

We offer two principal types of cover letter as well as a '5-Letter Pack' which contains both principal types as well as three other very useful job-hunting letters.

Standard Speculative Cover Letters:
If you are planning to make a number of speculative applications, we will design a dynamic cover letter directed towards the line of work you are interested in.

Advert Response Cover Letters:
With advert response letters, if you can provide us with a copy (or just the text of) a job advert (or job description), we will compile a strong, positive reply, carefully tailored to the position involved.

5-Letter Pack:
Includes all of the following:

  • Standard speculative letter
  • Advert response letter
  • Application follow-up letter
  • Thank you for interview letter
  • Resignation letter

Delivery Format

Your CV on CD

A copy of your CV on CD (£16) can be very useful, providing you with a durable, long-term – printable and editable – copy of your CV.

In addition to your CV, any cover letters you order will also be put on the same CD at no extra charge.

Printed Copies of your CV

First impressions count. We laser print CVs to Conqueror High White Wove 100gsm which is undoubtedly the best paper for the job. Many employers still request applications by post rather than email and this is your very first opportunity to make a professional impact on them. A set of 10 copies is available at just £7.00. Or you can have a set of 20 for £9.50, 30 for £12.00 or 50 for £17.00.

CV Distribution

With our extensive database of contacts, we can distribute your CV to a wide range of quality recruitment agencies and employers matching your requirements.

Quite simply, the more people who see your CV, the better your chances of finding the job you want.

Of course, we recognise that there may be some companies who you would rather did not receive your CV. You can rest assured that your CV will be carefully kept from your current and any previous employers.

Job Application Forms

Completing application forms, whether on paper or online, can be a demanding process. Let us put in the necessary time and effort for you. Simply provide us with a copy of a printed form or let us know where it is located online and we will tell you exactly what you should write, ensuring that your application will stand right out from the rest.
