CV / Resume Writer

Writing 500+ Executive Level CVs and Resumes Contributed to Discovering My Life Purpose.....

"In 2007 / 2008 when the global financial crisis happened, I like many others, experienced my previously highly successful career hitting the buffers. It was a challenging time, and I didn't know which way to turn or what to do next; I was like a dazed rabbit crossing the road, looking at the headlights of the oncoming cars. A phone call was to change everything, someone I knew called me up and asked me whether I wanted a job as an executive level CV / Resume Writer for the world's leading international executive CV / Resume company.  To be honest, I was a bit surprised, it wasn't what I was thinking about, but I needed to earn some money, so I took it. Maybe it was just a random opportunity, or maybe it was destiny, but it became a turning point in my life. I discovered, that not only did I have a talent for CV or Resume writing, but all my extensive recruiter / recruitment, career and life experiences and knowledge acquired, gave me a unique insight into the challenges that people were facing, and strategies people could adopt to positively change their status quo.

I'd had experience as:

1. A job seeker
2. A hiring manager
3. An employer
4. A recruiter and
5. An owner / and MD of a FTSE 100 subsidiary recruitment company.

(In the public, private and not for profit sectors, for small, medium and extremely large organisations)

In all, I wrote over 500 CVs / Resumes, all for senior executives, and many whom were either CEO's / MD's or at the top of their game. What started off as an CV / Resume writing assignment, often turned into career and live coaching or mentoring. I recognised from the start that people want CV / Resumes to get jobs, and the job market it competitive. There are frequently many people applying for a single job, when you look at job boards at the number of applicants you can see sometimes there can be upwards of 100 people applying for a single position, and even for the most senior roles, there are normally multiple applicants. My strategy was to approach CV / Resume writing from a competitive perspective, with the objective of winning the job and the best salary / package. In business you can have a great product, even the best product, but unless your sales and marketing is effective, your product won't sell. The same is true when selling yourself. My background as an award winning salesman and marketer, owner of a sales training company and as an innovator / extreme game changer with an inexhaustible well  of creativity, helped the people that I served, to get an advantage, and many achieved spectacular results, way ahead of their expectations.

I realised that most people approach CV / Resume writing in a very similar way, which means there is an opportunity for those who wish to take their CV / Resume writing to the highest level to achieve the best results. It is a bit, like playing a sport. You can chose to play it at any level from Beginner through to the Highest Leagues / World Championship / Olympic Level . I developed a new, different, better and game changing approach to CV / resume writing, for those who wish to take their CV / Resume Writing to the highest level, with a view to achieving the very best results.  "
