CV Writers

I've been working in HR over 17 years now and I'm currently lucky enough to be sitting on the senior leadership team.  My next step would be ideally Head of HR or HR Director.  My CV is getting me into interviews so it's clearly not demonstrating my skills correctly or just turning people off (I know what it's like when you are reviewing larger numbers).

When reading the job descriptions it feels like I have the prerequisite skills for the roles I'm applying for.


Has anybody used a Professional CV Writer?  Recommendations or suggestions please.

  • There are a lot of people keen for senior roles in HR and not many available jobs to go around. There's a good chance that it's not your CV but your experience and skills that are, in fact, lacking.

    I notice that you are an Associate Member. For a Head of HR/HRD role, most businesses would expect Chartered Membership as a minimum, with an MA/MBA and Chartered Fellowship as desirable qualifications. And if most of your competition is in that category, there's a good chance that people are starting with your qualifications, seeing your membership status and moving you directly to the "reject" pile.

    Your are correct in that I am only an "associate" of the CIPD but I have over 16 years experience in senior HR roles which I would have hoped trumped a qualification but you could be right in that's its a easy point to filter on.
