5 Reasons to Invest in Professional CV Writing Services

“I just didn’t feel confident sending my CV out. I knew I wasn’t going to get any call backs and I didn’t know how to make it better,” said Macy.

Macy wanted to transition from one industry to another. She needed help highlighting the job skills she had that could translate when changing careers.

She had been working in the non-profit world for a while and was looking to make a change in the financial services industry. She was eager to use her budget management experience but was unsure how to play up her job skills in a way that would attract employers. Her original CV simply didn’t give recruiters a good idea of her career goals.

“The expert I hired was able to pull out a better story. When I saw the skills that she highlighted for me, I was able to think, ‘Oh right, I am good at that.’”

“I started getting responses one month after my CV was redone and within 3 months, I received several interview invites. I finally got very competitive offers and I was able to choose the one that I thought was fine for me,” Macy said excitedly.

So, why should you invest in professional CV writing services this year?

Here are 5 reasons:

1. They’ll turn your career summary into a compelling pitch

A recruiter or hiring manager wants to know who you are, whether or not you can do the job and what benefits you can bring to their company. All in the first few seconds of glancing at your CV. The career summary at the start of your CV is not the place to be vague or long-winded.

It’s your sales pitch. It needs to be a short, concise profile that persuades them to read the rest of your CV.

CV writers are experts at summing up what you offer to an employer, in a few key sentences and bullet points, in a style that you feel comfortable with.

2. Long-term gains

A well-written CV provides a solid foundation for your future career. Just as you would invest in a quality coat to last through the years, you should invest in a document that you can build upon as you progress through your working life. You can replicate the format as you add new roles, and the rest of the document will only require minor tweaks to remain relevant.

3. Get an ATS-Compliant CV

Most employers use the ATS system to scan for required keywords. CV writers know the keywords that are essential in your industry. Professional CV writing services provide you with an ATS-friendly CV that has relevant phrases and helps you pass the screening process and secures you an interview.

4. Explains Your Work History And Highlight Key Strengths and Accomplishments

A well-written CV explains relevant work history, qualifications skills, and areas of expertise. CV writers remove unnecessary information and include relevant information. They add accomplishments and strengths that are relevant.

5. Expertise

CV writers have up-to-date knowledge of best practices and know what works and what doesn’t. They’ve seen and improved thousands of CVs. By employing their services, you can access this expertise and have it applied directly to your personal document.

A good writer will take the time to understand your objectives and your career to date. They can then structure and word your CV appropriately to ensure you achieve your goals. They’ll also provide a much-needed outside perspective on your CV, looking at it critically to ensure that the right information is included
