Please select the relevant product from our shop and follow through to checkout. This will allow you to pay for your product and also upload your existing CV if you have one. If you would prefer to email your CV and any additional information you can do so. If you do not have a CV do not worry as we will send you a form to complete.

Once we receive your order, we will be in touch during office hours (please note we are not open at the weekends) to provide a personalised order confirmation and ask for any further information.

Your order will then be assigned to one of our CV Writers who you will engage with directly.  You will then receive the first draft of your documents within three to five working days. You will have direct contact with your assigned writer, and they will work with you throughout the process.

When you order we take full payment upfront securely on our website.

We aim to work on your documents as soon as possible. Our standard turnaround time is three to five working days. If you require your documents sooner we have a 24 hour express option (excludes weekends) that you can add on at the checkout. This is an additional £100.

We always aim to deliver products to clients that they are 100% satisfied with based on their requirements.  Our CV Writing Service is designed to work closely with our customers to ensure we deliver against that commitment.  We always advise that the CV Writing process is iterative and therefore we commit to working with our customers to refine documents accordingly.  Many other CV Writing companies apply restrictions on the number of iterations they provide. We normally find that is takes 2-3 drafts of your documents but of course we always aim to get it right first time.

Our CV Writing Services are priced according to the type of product you order, length of your career history, level of experience/seniority and any specialist skills and start from £50.

Not sure on what bracket you fall under? Please feel free to send us your current CV to admin@the-cv-guru.recast and we can advise you.

Our CV Writing Services also extend to other products such as Cover Letters, LinkedIn Profiles and Personal Statements.  We also offer CV Writing Bundles which will save you money compared to ordering each product individually.

No we do not use AI to write any documents for our clients. We have a strict company policy against the use of AI. All documents for our clients are 100% written by our expert writers to ensure your documents are authentic.

We understand different countries’ requirements and standards, therefore we will prepare your CV adhering to the country you wish to conduct your job search in. When ordering your CV please be sure to mention this to your CV Writer and we will tailor this accordingly.

In short, – yes, we do. We do this through focusing particularly on the professional profile and key skills sections. The professional profile will highlight your transferable skills, your experience and why you wish to work within a new industry. Next is your key skills section where we can support you in focusing your existing skills towards the new roles you are applying for.

As well as the Professional Profile and Key Skills sections your Career Summary should be as focused as it can be towards your new chosen field. We will offer you a chronological CV which highlights your experience from your most recent position backwards while placing emphasis on the transferable skills. In addition to this if relevant we may also divide this section into Relevant Work Experience and Other Work Experience. The Relevant Work Experience section details specific experience of your new chosen field if you have gained any, whether this is from some time ago or through voluntary work and the other section entitled Other Experience is all of your other positions. This approach can ensure the recruiter can see your intention, and all your relevant transferable experience straight away.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions.

We advise you to select the option based on your TOTAL years work experience as there are many transferable skills that can be included even if you have switched career. We also recommend you demonstrate your full career to show that you have gained a broad level of experience which can be beneficial during the application and subsequent interview process.

Additionally, if you have been working for some time, your experience will be more complex which will take our CV Writers more time to convey your experience effectively.  This naturally takes more time for us to prepare and therefore has a higher price.

We are an industry leading CV Writing Service based within the UK and have a professional team of UK CV writers with vast knowledge and experience of writing CVs covering all sectors and seniorities. Our CV writers are up to date with industry knowledge and will ensure we are providing CVs that are not only ATS compliant but will catch the attention of recruiters and hiring managers.  We have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and an excellent rating on TrustPilot and Google (see our reviews here).

All our CV Writers are professional trained, have substantial knowledge and understanding of CV writing, and are committed to delivering exceptional customer service (see our Trustpilot reviews here). You will be assigned to a CV Writer who has a background knowledge of the industry you wish to work within.  Our approach is to ensure our CV Writers understand your career history and objectives including undertaking any additional research when necessary.  This is a core element of our CV Writing Services.

Our Specialist and Executive CV Writing Service orders are assigned to our Executive CV Writers, you will be matched with a CV Writer who will have extensive knowledge in your industry and level of experience. You will also have an optional telephone consultation with your Executive CV Writer.

Using a professional CV Writing Service to have your CV professionally written should significantly increase your chances of securing an interview. Your CV Writer will utilise industry best practice and make sure to understand your skills and experience to pitch them towards the opportunities you wish to apply for. This will include showcasing your key achievements, utilising terminology within your field and aligning the CV language towards that of the job advert where relevant. Therefore, it is beneficial for you to review your experience and provide us with as many facts and figures as possible to support your CV.

It is worth bearing in mind if you are changing career, industry, or type of company such as targeting start-ups vs corporate roles, you may be up against candidates with the exact experience and background the company is looking for. For example, if you are a Finance Director moving from a start-up or SME into a listed company or an administrator moving from the private sector into the public sector, it may take a higher number of applications before you successfully secure an interview.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee you an interview for every role you apply for.  Our CV Writing Service process is designed to capture your objectives, tailor your CV and other documents carefully, and ensure the most relevant and important information stands out for employers.  This will significantly increase your chances and success rate and we have had fantastic success with our clients.  This is why we work with you on an iterative basis and provide as much support as we can to help you take that next step in your career.  Please take look at our TrustPilot reviews from satisfied clients.

At The CV Guru we want you to be 100% satisfied with your CV, therefore we will keep revising your CV until you are completely happy with it.

Our Specialist/Executive CV Writing Service is for those in Senior Management, Director, or Executive roles or those with a specific Technical Specialism.  We typically regard those with responsibilities of £multi-million budgets, and/or national or international remits or teams as Executives.

Included in our Specialist/Executive CV Writing Service is an optional telephone consultation and two versions of your CV tailored towards different roles or sectors.

We would regard those at a management level within the IT industry as Specialists due to the technical expertise required.  This also applies to those within technical roles such as scientists, research and development specialists.

Academics who have a number of publications, and projects would be regarded as Specialist also. Academic CVs are typically much longer than a traditional CV as a result and could extend to 3-5 pages or potentially more depending on their experience.

These are services for clients who have previously had their CV written by us. We can update your CV with new employment details and refocus this to new positions you wish to apply for.

We also offer this service on LinkedIn Profiles we have previously written for clients.

We will send your documents in a MS Word format so you can edit them in the future should you need to. We will also send you a PDF version of your document if you wish.  A PDF can be helpful if you tend to use a tablet to review documents at home rather than MS Word as the software can tend to knock-out the formatting.

At The CV Guru we offer an Executive CV Writing Service and part of this includes two versions of your CV as we recognise you can pivot in different directions. We also advise that your CV is tailored specifically for each role. You may decide to use your CVs for two different opportunities you have seen. However, this can also include NED roles.

Your traditional CV will focus heavily upon the industry you work within and use language and terminology which is related.

The main difference a NED CV will have been a completely different Professional Profile and Key Skills Section. Rather than using terminology within your industry we will keep this broad and display your Leadership, Strategy, Governance, and perhaps financial management skills. You will also be required to note why you are interested in the company and why you wish to support them. The key skills section should also be tweaked to suit the requirements of the role particularly if it is not specific to your industry.

If you would like to utilise the Executive CV Writing Service then please do reach out and we will ensure your CV is positioned to effectively showcase your skills and expertise.

When using our CV Writing Services, you are not required to complete an application form or CV template (called a CV stencil) if you are uploading your current CV.  Any additional information we require we will request this from you, so please check your emails.

If you do not have a current CV, we will send you a form you can complete so we can gain all the relevant information to enable us to create your CV.
