Beyond CV Makeovers

As a trained linguist, I can help you proofread, edit or rewrite your CV, cover letter and LinkedIn profile to remove all typos, spelling or grammatical errors. 

My services go beyond this. I teach you how to think from a recruiter’s point of view. I take your content to a level of clarity and relevance that increases your chances for an interview. I help you remember all the experience you have regarding to the set of skills the potential employer requests. I get to know you from your professional experience, to your personality and role in a team.

We will analyse the job vacancy of your choice, identify and reorganise content that proves that you are a good fit for the position and company. I will let you know how to keep your CV design A.T.S. (Applicant Tracking System) friendly. Many companies use this programme to process incoming CVs. It would be such a shame to be rejected as an applicant just because the ATS cannot read your CV properly due to formatting issues.

If you struggle to find vacancies, I can teach you keyword techniques to broaden your search on line. I can also research potential employers for you, point you towards recruitment agencies, job boards or head-hunters, depending on your situation. I follow certain industries and employers on LinkedIn and social media with my clients in mind. 

If you are in the process of rethinking your career, I can refer you to professional career coaches, We can work on your CV and cover letter once you have a clear vision of which industries, roles or work environment you would thrive in.

Whether you are a seasoned professional, a recent university graduate, a knowledge worker looking into working abroad or a parent returning to the workforce, let me help you with your job search journey for entry level to middle management roles.

Why choose me?

I have been fascinated by the process of job applications since being a volunteer for the 1997 job fair of the Latin American Association of Atlanta. We welcomed 500 jobseekers and introduced them to employers who wanted bilingual employees to enrich their corporation or company. It was an incredible experience to analyse those 500 CVs. I could see which were engaging, had a great layout, were well organised and relevant to the vacancies available at the fair. Some made me want to meet the applicant, others were too vague, cliché or impersonal. Since then I have educated myself on the art form of CV, LinkedIn and cover letter writing and assisted people from all walks of life over the years applying for a variety of roles and industries. I help jobseekers with wisdom, knowledge and care. It is common that my clients refer me to their friends. I am based in Glasgow and work online which means that I can assist people from all over the world if they are applying in English to a vacancy.
