Compelling CVs

I can't recommend Barbara enough. Her expertise and know how were priceless. She is thorough in all she does leaving no stone unturned to get every detail off you in order to give you an incredible CV. Barbara keeps you updated all the way through from start to finish, and sending you drafts as you go along. I was truly happy with the end result and would highly pass her details on to my friends and colleagues.

All the stress of creating a cv is gone by using these services. From start to finish we were supported to insure the cv was taylor made to my sons needs. Fantastic service and I would highly recommend.

Barbara helped me tremendously in deciding which direction I wanted to take my career in. She listens to you and gives you honest feedback. Highly recommended.

I recently engaged Barbara to work on my personnel LinkedIn profile and on my company page as part of the marketing plan for my structural design engineering company, LSY Engineering Consultants Ltd, which I formed last year. I found Barbara very proactive and helpful. She provided some great insights and ideas for my LinkedIn profile pages and gave very honest advice which I always felt was in my best interests. She also had a lot of in-depth knowledge on SEO. We’ve already had two enquiries in relation to possible work since Barbara reformatted our LinkedIn pages. I would definitely recommend her services. In fact, I’ve already recommended her to several business associates, and I will continue to use her in the future".

I had a CV developed in 2015, which I didn't end up using at the time - but I did use it to apply for a role a year later, which I was offered and accepted. Possibly even more valuable than the expert presentation was the process of reviewing and capturing the information and discussing my plans, strengths, and aspirations - this gave me a great deal of confidence and clarity about how to present myself. With this support, I felt able to apply for a role at a firm that I never thought would be interested in me, and took a significant career step forward.

Barbara provides a first class service for CV's and career coaching. She is super-efficient, works quickly and effectively to deliver exactly what is required. I would not hesitate to recommend her, you will not be disappointed.

Both my daughters are now in work! Thank you Barbara. Having spent months trying to support them in their searches for graduate jobs I realised we needed professional help. I hadn’t appreciated how much was involved and it’s no wonder that as a parent I wasn’t helping much. It was so much more than just improving their CVs, although that was a vital step. Barbara provided job search coaching. She adopted a holistic approach covering job search strategies and techniques, LinkedIn, CV and cover letters. With renewed confidence they followed all her advice and they are now in work. When the time comes for them to develop their careers I’m sure they will benefit from Barbara’s help again.

I can't fault Barbara's service. Her knowledge and experience were invaluable and her attention to detail was superb. Her willingness to go over the CV again and again in order to get it 'spot on' was impressive. I did not get an interview as a result of the CV but would still happily recommend her to others -- probably higher praise than a recommendation from someone who did get the job!

Absolutely worth the money. Barbara helped me with my CV and cover letter, which definitely helped me secure a graduate job. Her questionnaire and telephone calls made sure my CV and cover letter were exactly how I wanted them, and Barbara always promptly made any changes I wanted. Barbara really took a genuine interest in my job search, offering me job advice and suggestions on how I could improve my skills for free. She even put me in touch with some potential work experience. I would absolutely recommend Barbara's service to anyone considering it.

Barbara is adept at turning ordinary professional profiles into extraordinary ones! She is a results driven and totally focussed individual who delivers a bespoke tailor-made service that truly meets the needs of her clients. Barbara's knowledge and skills set are both phenomenal. If you are looking for someone who can provide you with a timely, accurate and expert solution to either your CV or LinkedIn profile, then I simply cannot recommend Barbara highly enough.

When I approached Barbara I really didn't know her. I was reaching out people here near to London to help me with my daughter to prepare for an important interview with the hiring manager to get an internship in a global company, it wasn't easy, my daughter never has had an interview before and had no idea of what to do. From several people I approached was Barbara the only one who showed me she really knew what we needed and how to help us. She showed consideration, knowledge and she took the time to understand my situation before accepting to prepare my daughter and she also adjusted her agenda to open a slot for my daughter since we didn't have much time. When my daughter left the interview at the company she just told me with Barbara was more difficult actually than with the hiring manager and he asked exactly same questions that Barbara used to train her. The result obviously was she got the job! One year placement in one of the most important companies here in the UK at the first shot!

She helped me to build up my confidence and we practice all the questions that ended up being asked in my interview, I couldn't have been better prepared and thats why I think I got the job.

After my initial contact with Barbara, I was asked to answer a series of questions that would seek to show what type of CV matched my career aspirations. Next, I completed an in-depth questionnaire that required a great deal of thought in terms of recognising and defining my skillsets to date. This was a very useful and revealing process for me, and in doing so, enabled Barbara to produce a very effective CV that helped me secure the first job I applied for. Many thanks Barbara!

I have received exceptional service from Barbara who took the time to reconstruct my average CV she transformed it to a very Compelling cutting edge Cv which has now got the attention so longed for. The service is professional and constructive I can`t recommend Compelling CV`s enough. Fantastic, Thank you Barbara. David James Chef Manager Contract Catering.

Barbara at Compelling CVs was recommended to me by a former business associate who used her services some time ago. Barbara created two versions of my CV targeted to different market sectors and I very quickly had two hot leads. She was flexible and responsive, and we worked well together despite the fact that she is based in the UK and I am in Germany. I enjoyed working with Barbara. I would definitely work with her again and I highly recommend her service.

The CV that was written for me had all relevant information about my previous employment and the type of person that I am, but written in such constructive and positive terms, that it turned a 'good' CV that I had written myself, into an outstanding CV. I am aware that when companies advertise for staff, they receive numerous CVs. I strongly believe that procuring an interview is very dependent upon the quality of the CV. I can highly recommend the services of Compelling CVs.

Barbara does exactly what she says. She had so much time for me wether it was via phone or email. My CV has been written from scratch. Dont fool yourself Barbara will make sure all the thinking has come from you. A questionnaire will be sent to prior. Be very thorough! It will only benefit you. Barbara has seriously worked miracles on my CV and I now have the confidence in applying for jobs and taking the next step in my career progression. With my new CV I have attracted alot of attention from recruiters and organisations. Thankyou so much Barbara.

Contacted Barbara back in October after looking at a various career coaches and cv writers. Cv I previously used received very few call backs or hits on job sites. Barbara spent time above and beyond what I expected, going through my career history breaking down each role and key skills developed in each. After a couple of drafts I was presented with the final copy which I was happy with. This cv received many hits and phone calls from agencies and employers and I finally secured a full time permanent role at the beginning of December. I highly recommend Barbara to anyone not making progress in their job search in the current market. She is too the point and I found my conversations with her highly motivating. I hope to work with her again in the future.

Compelling CV's actually does what it says on the tin and Barbara personally writes your CV for you from scratch which is so different from the majority of companies out there. The process is very easy and the results are impressive. I liked my CV so much that I went on to have my LinkedIn profile written as well. The response I've had has been really good and I am delighted to say that I have secured my next role. I would thoroughly recommend Compelling CV's.

Working with Barbara to develop my CV and Linkedin profile was straightforward and insightful. She really is a subject matter expert and has a significant amount of experience in this field. A no fuss, no nonsense style, she delivers on the agreement, and more. I chose the Elite service - which was extremely good value - because it was so comprehensive. It is an excellent service and worth every penny.
