Posting here for traffic. Can anyone recommend a good company or individual who they have paid to polish up their CV? Prices are a lot more expensive since I last did this so don't want to waste my money! Thanks in advance ☺️

Don't waste a penny! CV writers are awful. Go on line, use samples, run it through AI or whatever, double check it with humans.

Important bits: context of company (who they are, what they do, how big they are), your responsibilities (brief over including scale - number in your team, size of budget etc), and your personal achievements in the role.

No recommendations, but it’s fairly easy to write it yourself. AI can be very helpful to get you going, or you can use free CV templates off the internet.

It may need tailoring to each job you apply for if necessary.

Mine has my details, then a few headlines….
Highly skilled PA with over 15 years experience across a variety of sectors. Then career history with a few bullet points about what I’ve achieved in past roles such as…
Successfully implemented a shared calendar system.

Then qualifications recent to older. Finally a short paragraph about my personal interests. Try to keep it to 2/3 pages max.

Agree with the above, you can get ChatGPT or similar to do this. Just talk to it like you would a real-life CV writer.

I asked it to critique mine and advise on how to update it and think it did a pretty good job. You can brief it on the sort of role(s) you want, or paste in the outline of a job you want to apply for and get it to angle your CV appropriately.

Do you have a colleague you'd trust to help with this? I have done this for countless friends and colleagues. I reckon I end up reviewing at least one every couple of months.
