Professional CV Writing Service and LinkedIn Profile
Whatever your next career aim, you will have an initial consultation in person, via video or telephone.
We’ll get to know you and your way of thinking by discussing:
- Skills and strengths, career history, qualifications and achievements.
- Your career aims and the role you would like next.
- How best to ‘brand’ you for the market you intend to work in.
- Help to define your job search strategies and provide tips and advice.
Your CV will then be written to the highest quality standards (and aligning with Applicant Tracking Systems – also known as ATS) and provided in draft via email. Together we’ll review and fine-tune it until you have complete confidence in your new CV.
Your final document will be provided in Word and as a PDF file ready for you to send to potential employers (other formats, such as those created in Canva or Pages, are often rejected by ATS).
We’ll then work on your LinkedIn profile together, to ensure it is optimised for search engines, AI and head-hunter / recruiter searches, and that the content and tone reflect your brand.
Career Matters’ experience and personal attention ensure your CV and LinkedIn Profile, either built from scratch or re-written, will help you stand out from the crowd and articulate how you support an organisation in delivering its goals.
What if I have a ‘difficult’ CV?
No problem – it makes it more interesting to write!
We are used to dealing with:
- Frequent job changes
- Interim management assignments
- Returning to work
- Change of career direction
- Technical roles
- Translating from French, Spanish or German into English
- Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) / Board / C-level
- Senior Leaders, Management and Graduate / Entry level CVs
- Writing a CV from scratch if you’ve always found work through recommendations
Testimonials
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Julie on updating my CV. Julie made the process effortless, went out of her way to work within the timescale I needed and took the time to understand my background and career goals. I highly recommend working with Julie.”
“Julie helped my review and update my CV and LinkedIn profile. The speed at which Julie provided reviews and updates was phenomenal. Her insight and challenge really helped to translate my career and experience into a to the point CV and LinkedIn profile. Thank you so much Julie!”
“I came across Julie via a recommendation from a friend and she didn’t disappoint. Julie was easy to talk to and fully understood what i needed from her. She was prompt and responsive the entire way through our time working together. Julie helped me update my CV as well as giving me invaluable advice. I highly recommend Julie.”
“I reached out to Julie through a mutual friend to refresh my LinkedIn profile and CV. Julie is very skilled at extracting the required information and great at translating into a professional format. I would strongly recommend Julie to individuals looking to undertake a similar exercise.”
“I had a really productive 1hr session with Julie where she gained an understanding of what I was aiming to achieve with my LinkedIn profile, gave me feedback on my existing profile, and ideas for how it could be improved to achieve my goals. I’m really pleased with the results, and would recommend a session with Julie to support you in achieving your goals.”
“Julie was fantastic at quickly identifying what I wanted to get across from my LinkedIn profile but just couldn’t seem to convey myself. Now my profile clearly tells connections what I do whilst also allowing my personality to shine through. Julie was a pleasure to speak with and I highly recommend her.”
“Julie offered a tremendous service when I required professional help in preparing my CV. The service offered clearly demonstrated Julie’s expertise in this area. All work was completed on time and to a very high standard. Julie has a very open style of communication and has a very relaxed style”.
“Julie did a fantastic job of updating my CV, clearly & concisely detailing my experience & achievements, giving it a very professional feel. She turned it around very quickly too. I would highly recommend Julie to anyone who feels their CV needs a bit of updating or wants help to stand out from the crowd”.
“Without Julie Harding my chances of getting a job would have been greatly reduced. Having never written a CV, completed an interview or used Linked In Julie took my CV and turned it into a professional document; followed by her superb interview techniques and social media training I was confident to go into the working world after 25 years with the same company.
And within 3 weeks of starting to look I have a job offer!”
