Feedback that transformed my CV...
Michelle's review exceeded my expectations. Her feedback was clear, tailored and immediately actionable, resulting in a CV that feels far more focused, commercially sharp and aligned to the roles I'm targeting. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for expert recruiter insight.

Professional, Clear, practical feedback...
Michelle's CV review was highly professional, with clear, practical feedback that was easy to apply. I've already implemented her recommendations and feel far more confident in how my CV presents my experience. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for expert CV advice.

A genuinely in-depth recruiter review...
I expected a quick CV polish but received a genuinely in-depth recruiter review. Michelle showed me exactly how my CV would be interpreted during shortlisting and provided practical, prioritised recommendations based on real recruiter judgement. I can't recommend her highly enough.
