What our clients say.

“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.”

“I recently used Michelle Cryer’s CV review service, and the experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The entire process was straightforward and efficient. From the initial submission to receiving the feedback, everything was handled quickly without compromising on quality. Michelle’s turnaround time was impressive, which made it easy to keep momentum in my job search and professional positioning. What really stood out was the level of detail in the review. The feedback wasn’t generic or surface-level—it was clear, structured, and highly tailored to my experience and my needs. Michelle identified areas where I could better communicate my value, strengthened key sections, and provided practical suggestions that were easy to implement immediately. The result was a CV that feels far more focused, commercially sharp, and aligned with the roles and opportunities I’m targeting. It has genuinely improved how I present myself on paper. I would highly recommend Michelle’s service to anyone looking to elevate their CV with expert, actionable insight delivered quickly and professionally.”

“Michelle carried out a highly professional review of my CV and provided clear, detailed feedback that highlighted areas for improvement. The turnaround from submission to receiving her full report was impressively quick. Her insights were practical and easy to apply, and I’ve now implemented all the changes she suggested. I haven’t yet used my updated CV for applications, but I already feel far more confident in how it presents my experience. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for expert CV advice and support.”

“Having found myself with an outdated CV I looked at number of sites offering CV writing services and decided to work with Michelle based on the positive reviews.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 Michelle is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic yet straight talking and made the process of turning my outdated and basic CV, into a document that actually showcased my skills, abilities and achievements, ready to share with recruiters.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.”

“I would highly recommend the before you apply CV writing service, my self generated CV has information but wasn’t well presented and lacked technical knowledge I had but never included, these were transferable skills to the vacancy I was applying for. When Michelle weaved her magic it was a lot more professional and no doubt appealing to any recruiter, I couldn’t recommend this service enough.”

“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”
