How To Apply
Applying Instructions
Do you feel your CV or LinkedIn does not do justice to your skills and experience?
Are you tired of applying for jobs you’re qualified for but not receiving interview invitations?
Juliet, a highly qualified professional, had been applying for jobs she was qualified for, but she was consistently not receiving any interview. Frustrated, she sought professional help and came across our professional CV writing services.
After sharing her CV with our team for a free review, our CV writing supervisor, Evaline, immediately identified several areas where Juliet’s CV fell short. Her CV was outdated and lacked the modern formatting and keywords employers and recruiters seek. Additionally, her LinkedIn profile was not optimized to showcase her skills and experience to potential employers.
Evaline worked closely with Juliet to revamp her CV and LinkedIn profile. She updated her CV to the latest format, added relevant keywords, and highlighted her most impressive accomplishments. She also optimized Juliet’s LinkedIn profile, making it more engaging, keyword-rich, and noticeable to recruiters and headhunters.
Within a week of sending out her newly updated CV, Juliet received interview invitations. She quickly landed two job offers and is now employed in a position she loves.
