Testimonials

An extremely valuable experience. I now have a CV and cover letters which I am confident will make an impact. However, over and above that the process has enabled me to identify the valuable 'transferable skills' that I have picked up along the way which could make me attractive to a wider range of employers than I would previously have considered." Paul Durral, Kent, UK.

So easy, once you showed me how! John Burchel, Cambs, UK

Thank you so much. After a complete lack of interest I had an interview within a week of receiving the new CV - & now have a new job & career path. Thanks again. Stephen Meltip, Glos, UK>

I was just a little cynical about all this, but it worked! I had sent numerous CVs with no response at all, now I have had several telephone calls in just a couple of days. Terrance Stevens, Manchester, UK

So much for the “professional” advice I paid for before – that did not work but this did! Thanks again. Vanessa Downs, Canterbury, UK.

Thanks for the super service; I am already getting ‘phone calls. Thomas Etherngton, Penn. USA.

Wow! Even I would give myself a job! I did not realise how good I was! John Beale, NY, USA

What a difference, thank you so much. Malcolm Royce, Belfast, Ir.

Thanks again, it really did make a difference. I have already received a couple of phone calls and feel much more confident about the future. Marsha Hartington, Newcastle, UK.

Further to our telephone conversation I really must write and thank you for all your help. I was becoming more than a little discouraged at the total lack of response or interest – now the ‘phone has started to ring again. Thanks, once more. Anthony Wilde, Watford, UK.

Cover Letter

Cover Letter - not so very long ago it was considered that the purpose of a cover letter was simply to get the recipient to read your CV; how things change!

A professional recruiter recently advised me that he spends so little time per application that he does not even bother with cover letters unless the CV is up to muster. Does this mean cover letters have become less important? Absolutely not!

If actually read prior to the CV then the cover letter must perform its’ time honoured function – to convince the reader that the full CV is worth looking at; if in the hands of a recruiter with similar habit to that described above then it becomes even more important – it may well be the cover letter that decides whether or not you are invited for interview.

Frankly, cover letters often require greater effort, on an on-going basis, than the CV itself. The CV requires substantial effort to initially produce, but will remain pretty much the same for most applications within a given industry; the cover letter requires specific effort each time it is used.
