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.

  • Hi Alun - happy to take a look at your CV if helpful - I have written hundreds and seen more at all levels. Have you asked for feedback on why you didn't get the roles you went to interview for? A good employer should be very happy to explain what would have made the difference. That would help you to understand where to focus your efforts - eg is it actually because of your CV - for example it's not presenting you in the best light - that's easy to sort and I'm happy to help and the CIPD tools should too. Or is it because of what's on your CV eg do other applicants have Chartered CIPD which is a great way to narrow down applicants because of the credibility it gives you at this Head of HR or HRD level :)
  • Jackie, It would be great if you could take a look. I've been through the CIPD tools and refined to a point where to me I'm happy but still struggling to land interviews.

    I accept completely what others are saying about being an associate rather than a chartered or fellow but I did experience assessment after 10years in HR and simply haven't done then next step of experience assessment to bump me up again having now got over 16years and sitting in a senior HR Role..
  • Happy to take a look Alun - see if you can attach here on a DM else I can message you my email address :)

  • I'm not able to send you a direct message unfortunately I'd assume it's a privacy thing?
