CV, Cover Letter & Application Form Writing

So you've identified the ideal job that you want, and you now need to make a high quality application that makes you stand out from the crowd. What do you need to do to ensure you get that all important interview?

Your CV
Well, you need to make sure your CV layout and content are good enough to express your skills and experiences in a way that is relevant to the position for which you are aplying - and all in 30 seconds! That's the usual amount of time that anyone spends looking at a CV, so yours must be relevant, clear and short!

Most people know that their CV layout should be simple, uncluttered and in an easy-to-read font. It should include your relevant personal details and a statement of what you're looking for in your next role, giving evidence (that is expanded on in the rest of your CV) of the skills and experience you have to be able to do the job - this is what I call a Personal Positioning Statement. It should then contain your relevant career history starting from the most recent job first, and then list your relevant training and qualifications.

Cover letters
These should again be brief, telling your prospective employer why you want to do the job and describing the skills you have that will mean you'll be successful in the job - mentioning that more detail can be found in your CV.

Application forms
These can be incredibly tedious to complete as they can be so long! Also, you have to make sure you don't miss out any key pieces of information, even if you're getting bored with completing the form, because your entire application is being judged on what you write. Keeping focussed and getting the right information across using the right language is a real skill. This same focus also needs to be applied when students write their personal statements for University admission.

Why You Need Help
The problem is that as people don't move jobs very often, they simply don't have much experience at writing a CV, a cover letter or of completing application forms. Plus, writing about yourself is one of the hardest things to do! That's why it really does pay to have someone (like me!) who is experienced at doing these things to help you. I can spot talents and skills that you might not think are relevant, but which may be crucial to getting that job. I have years of experience at writing CVs and reading them as a recruiter - so I know what works and doesn't work.

Let me help you to write a great CV and covering letter, and to fill out a great application form! I can do all the work for you, or show you how to do it for yourself. Prices start from just £40.
