Stop struggling over your CV, please, it's a waste of time:

Stop struggling over the words and deliberating over the layout - it's a class-A waste of your time. Your job right now is to focus on prepping for interview and landing that job.

Our job is to get you to that interview by making sure your CV (and covering letter) is tailored to your target audience; that they are powerfully worded, clear and easy to read with no gaps; that your achievements are qualified and quantified, that your core competencies and your transferable skills are explained in the language expected; and, that both are keyword effective for electronic scans.

This is why we set up Gradvert - it is our bread and butter. We know we can get our clients through the recruitment hoops faster than anyone and we understand how important it is to manage that process effectively so that your focus is (and remains!) on the future, not the present; not the hurdles. Find out more here or contact us to talk through what you need and how we can help. Everything is personal, everything is tailored.
