Successful CV Services

Our methodology

• Each client's needs are individually assessed at telephone or face to face interview, before work commences.
• We talk about your skills, experience, achievements, but also who you are so that we may include a personality snapshot, because employers have always selected people on more than just skills and experience. They want to know about you, your values and whether you are a good fit for their corporate culture.
• Our information gathering process takes the form of a relaxed conversation. More like a chat between friends, but it is nonetheless investigative and probing.
• When we have finished talking, usually about an hour initially, there will be a few days (between 2 and 4 depending on the urgency) before you see a first draft.
• We then discuss your feedback with you and edit the document until you say “I am happy with that”.

Our CVs include:

• Personal profile
• Objective statement (when appropriate)
• List of professional assets
• Career path summary
• Educational qualifications & academic achievements

Addressing position criteria

More and more employers in both the private and govt sectors are requiring applicants to address in writing complex selection criteria, to assist them to short-list applicants for interviews. Each applicant is rated on how closely he or she meets each of the criteria and then ranked accordingly.

At Successful CVs we have many years of experience in assisting our clients with these criteria statements. It is vital to address all essential criteria, in our experience, failure to do so will result in immediate exclusion from further process and the application will be culled. The information can be presented in a separate document that is attached to the CV or as a continuation of the application covering letter.

Addressing criteria for us is by quotation and based on our hourly consulting and writing rate of £28 per hour.
