Strength-Led CV Development Service
Strength-Led CV Consultation£125.00
A free 30-minute initial briefing, followed by a 60-minute CV consultation, built around your strengths and achievements.
Strength-Led CV Consultation
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. This consultation works directly on that: identifying your real strengths and achievements, and reframing them in language that actually works.
What a strength-led CV means
Built on what you've actually achieved, not just where you've been. It draws on your core strengths and the evidence behind them, so a recruiter has a clear, immediate reason to call you. This isn't about overselling. It's about making sure what's already there is properly visible.
How it works
Start with a free 30-minute initial briefing, a focused conversation about where you are and what you need. No advice at this stage, just enough to make the consultation that follows targeted and useful.
If it's the right fit, book your 60-minute CV consultation. Send your CV and the roles you're targeting beforehand, so the session goes straight into the detail.
In the consultation
We work through your CV together, finding the achievements you've stopped noticing and turning vague responsibilities into specific, evidenced wins, the shift from "responsible for managing a team" to "led a team of eight, delivering a 23% increase in productivity within six months."
I will support with the writing; however, your input is required throughout. My role is to surface what you're underselling, sharpen the language, and tell you directly what's working and what isn't.
Who this is for
Professionals who know their CV isn't doing them justice, whether you're early in your career, returning to the job market after a gap, navigating a career change, or going for a senior role.
Why work with a strengths-led CV consultant
Years of experience across employability and career development mean every consultation is shaped by what actually gets recruiters to pick up the phone, not generic template advice.
