Common Process Questions
How long does the process take?
+
Typically 5–7 working days from consultation to delivery. If you want the process to take longer due to commitments, that's fine. I have even had people phone me for consultation and reviews from abroad, whilst they are on holiday. On WhatsApp, it makes no difference. I work when you want to work.
Do I need to prepare anything?
+
Just your current CV (if you have one), target job descriptions, and about 60 minutes for our consultation.
Can I see samples before booking?
+
Absolutely! You can visit my Portfolio page to see examples of my work across different industries and career levels. This will give you a clear idea of the quality and style of CVs I produce, helping you make an informed decision before booking.
Are you available after the final delivery if I want to review a CV tailored for a specific role?
+
Yes, absolutely. I am happy to go through your CV with you after final delivery, especially if you have optimised it for a particular role. We can review it together, including ATS considerations, to make sure your CV and cover letter are presented in the strongest possible way. If you later need additional work, such as adding new roles or making more substantial changes, these are chargeable and will depend on the level of support you need. I'm committed to your long-term success and remain available for guidance throughout your job search.
