Better
Explained
We say that if you can find a better CV we will
give you your money back. Obviously, ' better'
is a rather vague term. However, we are happy
to go as far as specify what we mean by better
and improvements.
There is actually a lot more to professional CV
writing than meets the eye. CVs are multifaceted
dynamic documents, and the best CVs have each
elements working to its full potential in harmony
with all the other elements. Not only that, but
it is commonly accepted that the best CVs are
a good length, presentable and highly legible
with a good number of strong and proactive achievements.
Where we excel relates to our ability to create
CVs which are not only a good length (the current
trend is for one or two pages maximum), but also
to include a good number of powerful and proactive
achievements in a highly legible manner within
the confines of usually just one or two pages.
Employers are very busy people and they frequently
don't have time to read through long CVs and swathes
of paragraphs/clutter/multi-line entries (which
is why the trend is for shorter, more legible
CVs). The best CV writers can write powerfully
but concisely. However, this is far easier said
than done. Consequently, if you go elsewhere for
your CV then one, several or possibly all of the
following scenarios may apply to your CV;
The length may be longer than the recognised two-page
maximum. Or if it is a good length then:
- It may be squashed/cluttered in places (which
adversely affects legibility and presentation)
- to accommodate the shorter length the writer
will sometimes cut down on the number of achievements
(which is not a good idea because your achievements
help sell you to the employer)
- to make it fit the writer may include weakened
(less proactive) achievements
- the CV may not be as balanced
- to accommodate the shorter length the writer
may even omit a key section (possibly even the
profile or skills sections)
There are other aspects too. However, the above
factors are good, visible indicators of CV quality,
and this is what our guarantee refers to. Anything
else is just too subjective, and after all any
written document is subjective to some degree.
