Client reassurance
“I would highly recommend the Before You Apply™ CV Rewrite service. My CV was tailored specifically against the job I wanted to apply for, and Michelle asked me additional questions based on the job specification to identify relevant experience that wasn’t coming through clearly on my original CV. The finished CV represented my experience much more effectively and has resulted in me being invited to interview.”

“Michelle is exceptional to deal with. I’ve used my professional CV a couple of times now and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. My CV has never looked better and interest from companies spiked as soon as my new CV was made available. Thanks again to Michelle and team”

“Having found myself with an outdated CV I looked at number of sites offering CV writing services and decided to work with Michelle based on the positive reviews. It turned out to be a great decision. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic yet straight talking and made the process of turning my outdated and basic CV, into a document that actually showcased my skills, abilities and achievements, ready to share with recruiters. I would highly recommend working with Michelle, as she offers much more than a basic CV upgrade, but also gives insights into how recruiters work and what they look for, along with services around coaching and preparation for interviews.”
