“Once I received my New CV I was blown away with how good it stood out and showed the real me.”

Typical client quote

Do you need help to get your next job?

Are you looking to make your next career move?

Are you applying for jobs and not getting interviews?

It’s hard because you don’t know what the employer wants or if they are even reading your application.

You have had confusing advice from other sources.

If you are applying for more than 10 jobs and not succeeding, something needs to change.

CONTACT ME and I’ll help you discover what that is.

Most CV writing advice is garbage and it always has been

I developed a new approach that is free of assumptions and third–party conjecture. Instead, it’s based on knowing what really happens after your job application is sent.

I’ve been a recruitment consultant, line manager, business owner, and researcher. I’m currently a strategy consultant for growing businesses and an employer, so my knowledge is completely up to date.

Since 2012, I’ve been helping people to write successful CVs and job applications and succeed at interviews.

Graeme delivers an astounding service. He is able to determine the value of your activities for potential employers and formulate that in a most impactful manner. The whole process made me feel comfortable and the documents Graeme generated were considered to be highly professional by my headhunter contacts. The exercise helped me a lot in my career planning. Graeme works in a punctual manner and cherry on the cake is that he produces 100% human generated content, which will stand out.

I would recommend Graeme to anyone looking to improve their interview skills. I had a 2-hour coaching session with Graeme ahead of a job interview. We worked through questions Graeme had prepared based on the job and person specification and Graeme gave me enormously helpful feedback on my answers helping me to sift the wheat from the chaff and think about my responses from an employer’s perspective. The whole process was extremely confidence building. Graeme listens carefully before making observations and suggestions which are thoughtful and insightful. He clearly has a breadth and depth of up-to-date knowledge about the workplace which he brings to bear. In the past I have had many interviews, almost all unsuccessful. This time, however, I was offered the job! Thank you Graeme.

We got results!

Myself and Graeme completed Interview training and CV writing. My target was a job abroad and double salary as an engineer.

He produced a CV that was professional and concise. Within a few months I had interviews with CEO of 5+ companies for my target jobs. I was fully prepared and confident for all the interview questions from his training.

Result: I got my dream job as a Site and Project Manager in Riyadh, doubling my salary from UK and higher position.

Now I can explore the world, hit my financial goals and be able to support a full family.
Thank you so much Graeme, this will be life changing...

Yours Sincerely,

Jakob.
Site Manager

Graeme's process was thorough and the result was a big improvement on my existing CV. After I got my CV back I started getting interviews much more quickly than before and have recently accepted a new job.

I worked with Graeme on updating my CV last month and had a great experience. He spent a lot of time with me over zoom to understand my work history and each role so that he could make my accomplishments really shine. I'm very happy with my updated CV and Cover Letter. The process was smooth and Graeme is very personnable.

I approached Graeme when I wanted expert help creating a new CV. After 17 years in the same job I felt clueless about how to go about this & was in need of experienced input & assistance. Graeme was a pleasure to work with & made me feel immediately at ease when we spoke. Graeme created a CV & Covering Letter for me in less than 2 weeks & I am really pleased with both documents. I believe the CV suitably represents my key skills and career achievements as well as my transferable skill base, which was exactly what I was hoping for when I decided to change jobs & increase my future career prospects. I have been so impressed by Graeme that I also intend to use his interview skills coaching service when the time comes. If you need help creating the best CV possible do not hesitate to contact him as he is 100% the professional for the job.

How my CV consultancy and application writing works

I help you to understand and convey your value to your next employer. This is how:

Consultation on your career success

This is far more than a writing business.

No writing is done without first completing a detailed consultation.

If you buy from me, you work directly with me. Nothing gets outsourced. There is no AI involved.

It’s a personalised service that gives you your best chance in the job ‘market’. I ask you questions about what you did and achieved. This always uncovers achievements that clients didn’t know they had.

Analyse and understand

I carefully go through our consultation notes line by line, understanding how this information contributes to the delivery of your value.

I compare this against the person specification(s) for the job(s) or kinds of jobs you are seeking.

I also use my knowledge of similar candidates to help understand what is unique about your application.

I write your job application materials

I help you to manage your career progression and transitions by writing your CV, job application form, and/ or any other materials such as presentations.

Of course, you get to review this and request any changes. Very few of my clients ever request that, however.

You succeed in the job market

Next, you can confidently use your CV or job application that I provide.

Your biggest challenge then will be how to perform at interviews. Because you will be invited to them. Oh– I can coach you for those interviews and any presentations or other forms of assessment. (Except skills tests, obviously– they are for you to complete).

You can adapt your CV or job application to different jobs, which will be easy given the layout that I use.

In the initial consultation, I will help you to understand how to do that. So, the value that you gain will be long–term!

Why choose me?

This is a high–quality job application consultancy, CV writing, and interview coaching business with a mostly senior–level international client base.

I work with clients at all levels, from school-leavers upwards (at discounted rates for those in their early careers).

I bring you expertise from getting my other clients selected in job applications.

I’ll help you to go beyond the basic advice that is available for free and give the best account of yourself. So, you can then get selected for your desired job without having to go through lots of applications.

If you are seeking a senior position, then you can be confident that I have worked with CEOs, directors, senior consultants and partners, diplomats, senior government staff, and even a presidential candidate.

I also deliver talks and workshops at schools to upskill young people to understand how to get selected for their desired roles and manage their careers.
