Strength-Led CV Development Service
Strength-Led CV Consultation Service | Belfast & Beyond
Make a strong impression, capture attention, and secure the interview.
If you're sending out CVs and hearing nothing back, the problem usually isn't your experience. It's how your experience is being presented. Most CVs read like a job description. Yours shouldn't.
Recruiters make decisions fast. If your CV doesn't communicate your value immediately, it gets passed over. I work with you to change that through a focused CV consultation built around your strengths and achievements.
What Is a Strength-Led CV?
A strength-led CV is built on what you've actually achieved, not just where you've been. It draws on your core strengths, your real-world impact, and the evidence that demonstrates what you bring to a role. Done well, it reads with confidence and gives recruiters and hiring managers a clear reason to call you.
This isn't about making things up or overselling yourself. It's about making sure what's already there is properly seen.
How the CV Consultation Works
Initial Briefing (30 minutes) A focused conversation about where you are and what you need. No advice at this stage, it's about understanding your situation so the consultation that follows is targeted and useful.
After Your Initial Briefing
If the service is the right fit, book and purchase your CV consultation straight away. Send me your CV and the roles you're targeting beforehand so I can come to the session prepared and ready to get straight into the detail..
CV Consultation - Strengths and Achievements
This is the core of the work. Through an in-depth CV consultation, I work with you to identify your key strengths, surface achievements you may not have thought to include, and frame your experience in language that lands with recruiters. Using approaches like the STAR and CAR frameworks, we shift from "responsible for managing a team" to "led a team of eight, delivering a 23% increase in productivity within six months." That difference matters.
Writing Advisory
This is not a CV writing service. My role in the consultation is to guide you in shaping your own content, providing clear, honest feedback on structure, language, and how your achievements come across on the page. You do the writing. I make sure what you produce is focused, well-positioned, and says exactly what it needs to say.
Targeted CV Guidance
Where relevant, the consultation includes focused guidance on specific areas — positioning yourself for a career change, returning to the job market, or competing for senior roles across Belfast and Northern Ireland.
What You'll Walk Away With
Clarity on your professional strengths and what makes you stand out
A clear, achievement-led narrative for your CV
Practical guidance to shape that narrative into strong, confident CV content
A sharper understanding of how recruiters and hiring managers assess candidates
The confidence to present yourself effectively in your applications
