What do our clients say?
I have secured a new position as a Business Consultant…
“The CV Laura created for me was very professional and creative. I felt she really understood my background and presented a well balanced CV including experience and personal achievements. I was particularly impressed with the opening summary paragraph which outlined my experiences and skills. I find it difficult to write a balanced review of myself and Laura took over this with ease. Within just one week of having my CV re-written by Caversham CV Writing I have secured a new position as a Business Consultant. Thank you!”

The CV and Job Search Companion
This book is the culmination of my years of experience as a CV writer and founder of the British Association of CV Writers. I've condensed all this knowledge and experience into one comprehensive resource to spare you the endless scrolling and searching online. It will equip you with the essential tools and strategies needed to create a compelling CV and cover letter, optimise your LinkedIn profile, and prepare for interviews.
Are you tired of spending endless hours scrolling through countless (often conflicting or out-of-date) online resources in search of the perfect CV advice?
Have you tried talking about yourself and your abilities?
Do you enjoy writing about and selling yourself, or do you feel like you’re bragging?
Have you become frustrated? You have amazing experience and want to show it all off, but can’t fit it all onto your CV.
Is your CV 4 pages long? To get your CV to 2 pages have you extended the margins to their max or minimised the font to an unreadable 8?
Does your CV contain information that you are rightly proud of but is not relevant to what you want to do next? Do you know what to cut out and how?
