CV writing services - Any good?

I paid for a new CV from the CV Store about a month ago. Think it cost me around £35. I was really impressed with it. Although I had good feedback on my old CV, I wasn't getting the interviews. The new one is brilliant, really professional and better than anything I could have ever done.

It took about 24 hours for them to do it, and they do free updates to it for 12 months.

i was struggling to get interviews so i decide to pay for a cv writing services and it helped me alot, with the new CV i started to get alot more interviews.

the job i finally got, even commented on the way i wrote my personal statement.

Being dyslexic and not very good at writing, i was never good at writing CVs

You should really write your own CV.

Why not pop down to your local library. My local library has an entire section dedicated to 'career', including many books on how to write a CV.

The CV Centre

I was suspicious about these services but when I was coming up to the end of a contract, I read a recommendation for the above in The Guardian.

I thought that I would give it a go and sent the company a disorganised set of Word documents that gave some evidence to my academic and professional background. A couple of days later the CV was sent to me (along with a generic cover letter that I had also ordered). They were so impressive that I asked myself if it was me they were referring to!

I used the CV and the cover letter for a speculative campaign which resulted in me getting a job with only three weeks of unemployment. I sent them to about 50 employers in an industry which has suffered badly during the recession. Employers who weren't recruiting took the time to praise my CV.

In short, the CV Centre did a far better job than I would have done and the fee paid for itself thousands of times over with a new job.
