WHY PAY FOR CV SERVICES?
Why would you ever pay for CV services when you can do it yourself? Hmmm – good question. Let me counter it with one of my own. Did you know that it can take a recruiter less than ten seconds to make an initial decision on your CV? Ten seconds. That’s an incredibly short amount of time to make a big impact. Which means the question you should really be asking is “Have I got a CV powerful enough to pass the ten second test?”
How do you know if you pass the test? If you’re getting interview requests then your CV is doing exactly what it needs to, and you don’t need my CV services or help.
But if you’re not getting interview requests, one reason could very well be that although you have the skills for the role, although you might be the perfect fit, your CV is just not telling or selling that story to the recruiter. Your CV is your first introduction to your new employer. It needs to be impressive enough to leave them wanting more, needing to meet you, and hoping that you might just be the missing piece of their company puzzle.
That’s where an independent, professional CV writing service is worth investing in. Because, although you might have exactly the right qualities for the job you’re applying for, that’s not what your CV is telling the recruiter. CVs are hard to get right. And let’s be honest, they can be boring to update, a tedious chore on your to-do list when you’ve got better things to do.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Let’s have a chat, and then you can let me do what I’m great at, while you go and do something fun. In no time at all I’ll work my magic and you’ll have a CV that looks sharp, professional, that shows just how awesome you are at what you do, and that makes the recruiter offer you that magic interview because they’re keen to find out more.
WHY PAY HEENA FOR CV SERVICES?
I’ve been working in a professional services environment for over twenty years (oh god, that makes me sound old, doesn’t it!). I’ve been a recruiter, a mentor and a coach for many people in many companies, including over a decade at a Big 4 audit firm, finance companies, manufacturing companies and the service industry. I’ve read through hundreds of CVs. I’ve conducted countless interviews. I know how it works and I know what recruiters look for, because I’ve been one.
I’ve been on the other side too – I still work as a contractor in the finance industry, and my own CV has a 100% success rate – it has got me an interview for every job I have applied for. That’s the role of a strong CV.
As well as all that I’m a writer. I know my way around words. I love weaving some writing magic, painting a picture through a cleverly crafted paragraph. I can help you create the right impression on paper. I love the transformation, it gives me a real buzz – and that’s what makes me so good at it! Trust me – updating your CV has never been so much fun!

We can record the session so you don’t have to worry about remembering everything we’ve discussed.
LinkedIn Profile – £99.

THE DETAILS
All personal statement and CV writing options include three revisions, and a final word and pdf copy of the statement and/or CV.
All conversations are held online, usually via Zoom.
We start with your current CV, a questionnaire and a fact-finding conversation so I fully understand what you need and can deliver on it.
(And if you really can’t face completing the questionnaire, for an additional fee we can have a longer session where I take down all your details so you literally have to do no typing at all!)
If you’re ready to get going, choose your option below, and you’ll be taken to the PayPal link.

***NEW – JOB SEARCH JOURNEY – £1,200***
Do you feel overwhelmed, confused or nervous at the thought of looking for a new role? You know you’re ready to move on, you just don’t know where to start or what to do? Looking for a new role can be a nerve-wracking process, and no matter how amazing your family and friends are, sometimes you just need a little extra support.
I remember how stressful my own job searches have been, and how much I valued the help I had along the way. I designed this bespoke six week job search journey specifically to help support you as you go through that process. We’ll work together from the start of your journey (where you are now, what you’re aiming for), through the crucial CV design (to help you land the interview), right up to helping you make that interview count (to maximise your chances of the all important job offer).
I’ve outlined the framework for our time together, and ideally each week we’ll meet for between sixty to ninety minutes. In between our calls, we’ll talk by email or text. But remember, this is a bespoke course and we’ll adapt what we’re doing to meet your needs, so if you need more time during a particular module, then that’s what you’ll get.
⇒Weeks 1 & 2 – Together, we’ll identify your key skills, map your needs and visualise your ideal role. This gives us the starting point for your journey – where you are now. It also gives us our new destination – where you want to get to.
⇒Weeks 3 & 4 – During this phase, we’ll conduct a detailed fact-finding session, and from that I’ll design a CV that creates real impact, that demonstrates all your strengths, and that helps you land interviews. We’ll also work on your LinkedIn profile, so no matter how a recruiter finds you, they see the very best of you.
⇒Weeks 5 & 6 – At this stage, we’ll work on refining your interview skills, so that once you land the interviews, you’re ready to put your best foot forward. We’ll cover body language, tips to help with nerves, strategies for tricky questions, amongst other things. Everything we do is designed to help you perform at the highest level when it matters.
By the time we’ve finished working together, you’ll feel confident, prepared and empowered. You’ll know exactly what your next steps are, and you’ll be ready to take them!
I can’t wait to work with you and celebrate your success!
Heena.
