"I would like to thank you for my CV – which was perfectly written. Before I used your company to re-write my CV, I did not get one response after numerous application sent. After posting my new CV on Monster, within one day I had a job offer. Then I was contacted by a pharmaceutical company for a job I would have never applied for. However, after the company sourced my CV, they thought I was a worthy candidate. On Monday I went for my first interview, Thursday I was invited for a second interview and, today, I have been offered the job. I have exceeded my expectations of the salary that I required by £8,000 - and been offered a more senior position as an Account Manager. I cannot thank you enough. I have been unemployed for a few months and I was getting a little anxious. I have now told so many people to take this route and use The CV Centre. The best money I have ever spent."
