Colette is a master at her craft, and she won’t be happy until you’re happy. She works quickly and deliberately to get the job done, and is responsive and dependable in her communications. Highly recommend partnering with her for CV and cover letter writing.
I used this service to learn how best to create an outstanding CV. I received honest, constructive advice delivered in an affirming and positive tone and manner. Denise was excellent.
I used this service for information towards the Irish workplace and understanding of how LinkedIn is used correctly. Everything that was told was really informative.
I had always struggled to find the balance of what to include in a cover letter and how to format it. I have a letter now that will give me much greater confidence applying for roles in the future.
Claire really helped me to update and improve my LinkedIn profile to be ore informative and more reflective of my skills and experience.
The call was really valuable in helping me to determine what it was I hoped to get from the CV writing process and also gave me an opportunity to explain some of my background to the CV writer which she did incorporate in to my CV and cover letter.
My CV was so well written! The engagement with the CV writer (Claire) I worked with was great, she really took all my feedback on board and only need a few iterations to finalise it.
I used this service for help with a college personal statement. The process involved having a call with a writer who got to know you and ask questions to give them insight into what was needed. I liked this part of the process as you get to know your writer. There is a messaging service then between the writer and you to keep in contact throughout the process. My writer, Claire, was very responsive and understood the brief from the outset. I would highly recommend the service.
I had a free CV review call with Denise, and it was extremely helpful. She shared really thoughtful feedback in a direct but kind way. She gave me a real understanding of what to do should I decide to re-write my CV myself, which really created trust. She also covered the benefits of using their expert writing services and how they would leverage their skills to target my CV. She was lovely to work with and I appreciated the service.
It was wonderful working with Jeff creating my CV, Cover letter and Linked in Profile. He was not only very knowledgeable of the Sales rolls I was trying to obtain but also was able to assist with knowledge outside of my previous roles and future career paths as well as talk through writing cover letters to assist with visa sponsorship. Outside of the having to write a passcode to get into the site (Which has NOTHING to do with Jeff) I have nothing negative to note. I am overall very happy with this service and would use again in the future.
Would recommend if you have no idea about LinkedIn
James really helped to modernise my CV!
Jeff is a true professional, I believe Jeff has brought the best out in me in my CV, Cover letter & Linkedin profile. Very courteous, efficient and good communication throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Jeff and the CV Centre.
Amazing professional service! I got my CV, cover letter and my LinkedIn profile done and could not be happier with the results!
Great service and James did a superb job with my ask.
Thank you!
I feel blessed that I had the chance to work with Jeff on my CV. He was super friendly and even gave me some suggestions on what to look after and what to do in my next job interviews.
I am so thankful for all the help I got in improving my CV and being able to chase a better job. Everything was done with a friendly yet professional tone and I couldn't be happier for the work and effort that was put in showcasing what I really can and I am able to do.
My review call with Denise was an extremely positive experience. Denise provided me with invaluable information and suggestions about my CV structure in an encouraging and helpful way, all with my career goals in mind. Thank you so much Denise!
I couldn't be happier with Kathlyn work. She was super efficient and made a CV so amazing I decided to aim at higher position than planned.
George was great to deal with and I appreciate his efforts and good work
so kind and useful
Was told it would be a week for the CV to be completed, but it was completed next day!
The Cv writer Zeth was again very thorough and patient in developing the Linkedin pag
The senior Cv was based in the USA so the US version of the Cv did not suit the Irish recruitment agency model because the Cv was a little overloaded with information . However the Cv was extremely well written and the Cv writer Zeth was very patient in providing a great deal of edits in order to finally complete a Cv that suited the Irish jobs market .
The call with the Cv writer was constructive and the writer was very thorough in obtaining valuable information in order to create a Cv that outlined all previous work history and skills etc .
The agents working here are professional and so cooperative with such patience and understanding.
amazing service and good communication
Sandra is excellent at creating CVs. She cooperates as much as possible, adds to her ideas, but respects you. All recommendations, no regrets. Many thanks Sandra
I have to say that Sandra is very helpful, professional writer. I strongly recommend for your cover letter.
The whole process was very comfortable and easy. I needed a boost in my CV and of course trusting them was the right thing to do.
Highly recommended.
James did my CV for me, and I am absolutely delighted how professional and neat my CV and cover letter looks now. They just made my job application a lot easier. Thank you, James!
I found Elisa to be very professional and gave me some very helpful and actionable feedback.
Great service and friendly writer.
Denise was very helpful on our call.
I liked the way was build, the data treatment / presentation and how Jeff insert his advises and comments. Excellent work
A focused Cover Letter exactly what I was looking for.
Jeff add the expertise to sum-up , with just one call and 1 review, my 31 years professional life and deliver the document with all in it.
I never did a CV before and it was a challenge for me facing the process of building one. Jeff had very positive approach and was focused during the conversation which made things easier. He know what is doing for sure.
I was extremely happy with my writer Wendy. She was friendly and asked me many questions about my past experiences in the job market and my future goals. I would recommend her experience and expertise any day.
Entering the job market after three years, my biggest point of insecurity was a CV that was out of date and old school. For a reasonable fee, I now have a document I'm pleased to forward to potential employers. Highly recommended.
Communicated throughout the entire process. I am very pleased with the work on my resume. I strongly recommend this service.
I liked that the writer modified my cover letter with a way to be more professional and more interested in order to attract the employers' interest. Also the cover letter met my expectations because it was focus on my skills and knowledge that will contribute to be hired on the positions I want.
I liked the fact that the writer understood clearly in which vacancies I would like to be hired in order to emphasize on them and I liked the way my cv was modified concentrating on the qualifications and enhancing my skills that will contribute to be hired on these kind of positions.
It took more than 2 months for 3 drafts (approx.. 20 days for each draft) and even with the final draft, based on draft I shared, I am not very convinced with the overall cv. I still feel that the CV looks captures my day to day work rather achievements so I can target better roles. I strongly believe that the job links I shared have not been given due attention.
Thank you so much Rebecca for a job very well done. I really appreciate your input, tenacity, attention to detail and talent. For the second time in a number of years, I went for the premium option with an interview with the wonderful James. I highly recommend the service to anyone looking to reach the next level in his/her career.
Thank you Sandra for your excellent service. You did not only provide great proposals. You also integrated all of my input, answered all additional thoughts and questions and made it a very pleasant journey for a task, that would have been so difficult and laborious. Highly appreciated, Marion
Efficient service, positive and professional result
Sandra was patient, professional and understood the brief really well. she amended what needed to be amended on time and her CV, cover letter and linkedin profile resulted into exceptional work. will recommend Sandra for anyone looking to enhance and improve their CV.
Paid for CV writing as I had been out of work for a short time so thought by having a professional to create my CV, it would increase my chances. However, any recruitment agency that I submitted my CV to said it was absolutely shocking and had to be created all over again. The cover letter wasn't much better. If you're looking for a CV to pursue a career, go elsewhere
I would like to note, though, that Kathlyn's latest draft of your CV is already a massive improvement over your original. I am confident that we can work together to ensure a result that you are happy with.
Please always feel free to reach out with feedback from third parties like recruitment agencies - this is something we can look to factor in if the feedback is reasonable and would honestly represent an improvement.
Took a little time to tease out exactly what I wanted but in fairness to the team they do not give up until you are fully satisfied and I can safely say I am now. Second time using them as my career grows - I shall be back :)
Rebecca was great to deal with !!
Service and result of a more professional CV very satisfactory . Rebecca was great !
great support and very quick response time notting seemed to be a problem at all
Nice and fast
Was very quick and what a difference. Really great work thank you for helping me out.
Kathlyn provided a prompt, comprehensive service while creating a professional, concise CV. She completed edits and updates upon request and I am delighted with the content and visual appearance of the document. I would highly recommend the services of the CV Centre.
Exceptional service provided by James with very prompt turn around time, delivered on all aspects with high quality documents. Highly recommend.
I found Jeff to be really helpful throughout this entire process. He was extremely responsive and provided numerous drafts of my CV until I was completely satisfied. I would recommend this service to anyone looking to update their CV.
CV, Cover Letter and Linkedin update all done very quickly and pointed out several key improvements which I found were very helpful. Would recommend for anyone who already has a decent CV/Profile and wants professional opinion and improvement of it.
I feel like Claire really listened and understood what I needed
I have used the service in the past and I have recently used it again to update my most recent experience. May was really professional and understood straight away where I wanted my CV to focus.
Really satisfied with the fast service
The 15 minutes talking with Denise were fantastic. She gave me a great review of my CV and answered some questions that I had for a while. Looking forward to continue with the next steps.
Denis is truly a professional in this and she really evaluated my current CV and pointed out what changes should be needed.
Denise was friendly, helpful, insightful & talked me through all my options. Excellent service
Jeff provided me with excellent content for my LinkedIn profile to take it from average to a very much stand out professional profile. As most prospective employers will either reference your profile or use it as a head hunting tool, using Jeff to perfect mine was one of the best decisions I've made this year. Highly recommended
Jeff's cover letter struck the perfect balance of brevity, quality and detail. I didn't think i would need one but after reading it I now believe it to be essential.
Jeff has provided me with a highly polished, professional and succinct CV. His proccess was stress free, personal and of the utmost quality. A true professional who has genuinely surpassed all of my expectations and over a very short period of time. I highly recommend his services.
I used this service to get a professional opinion on my current CV prior to applying for new roles I'm interested in. Sandra was highly professional and personable and gave me excellent honest feedback on what needed to be changed in order to drastically improve the chances of my CV being selected by an employer. Highly recommend her services to anyone serious about changing employment.
Happy with the results and the trust wordy support
James knows how to make a strong connection and has big knowledge about the different businesses / jobs. Really worth having the one on one call with him.
I took senior Cv writing package with cover letter and LinkedIn Profile package for 230 Euros. I was able to bargain 1 extra Cv for that money. My senior Cv write Ms Claire Brenan was absolutely brilliant and my Cv looks very good and organized. However
1. the entire process of getting the Cv is very impersonal and not correct at all. Before buying the package, the call was made my Ms Claire, but after buying the package when I asked her to call me, It came to my knowledge that the calls were chargeable and very expensive. Like they asked me Euro 40-50 for 15 mins call. That is absolutely outrageous and wasn’t told to me about. Thats like mis-selling. The contact with the CV writer is only by dropping messages on there online software, not even direct chat. They will reply once they see the messages.
2. The Cv writers of UK for sure (like 100%) don’t know the Irish Job market and what recruiters and consultants look for, the moment they open the CV. I wouldn’t advise Irish people to get the Cv made from UK people
3. I am still not getting interviews at all and my Cv is being rejected outrightly. I bought this expensive package because my CV was being rejected outrightly by all companies when I have 10 plus years of sales banking and Wealth Management experience, solid academic background and good progression in my career as compared to my friend with no or little experience and they all had jobs. Its not James Inn group or Ms Claire’s fault but there ATS optimization software is surely not a good one.
4. There was quite a delay in my final CVs.
5. All in all, I wouldn’t go again for such services.
1. You mentioned that your senior CV writer, Claire, was absolutely brilliant, but then that the process was impersonal. I understand that this primarily relates to the additional cost for a phone consultation. For clarification, a consultation is not included as standard, but as an optional extra, so there wasn’t any mis-selling here. In fact, we quoted you just €20 for a follow-up call, and had already given you a free second CV as part of the original package.
2. Our writers do indeed have a good understanding of requirements in different markets around the world; in this case, your statement is 100% false as your assigned writer is, in fact, Irish.
3. We do not run our clients’ CVs through an ATS, and haven’t at any time suggested that we do, as there is little purpose to this. Our emphasis is always on keyword optimisation, which Claire outlined to you early on in the process. It is, of course, extremely disappointing that you are being rejected outright and we would be happy to support you further. In fact, I reached out to you on your order page asking for more examples of job roles you are targeting, and any CVs that you have adjusted to meet the requirements for these roles so that we could ensure the keyword optimisation process was being done correctly, but we didn’t hear back from you.
4. I can confirm that your first draft was delivered exactly within the original estimated turnaround times quoted to you at the point of order. Subsequent drafts and responses to feedback were also all provided promptly during UK/IE working hours, so there is no factual evidence of any delays.
5. It is disappointing that you wouldn’t use such services again and I hope we can change your mind - just get in touch directly via your order page where we would be more than happy to pick things up again and support you with your career journey.
As a German I am very happy about the inspiring English manner how to write a CV.
Any time again. Very much appreciated. I would come to you again.
From the initial phone call I had from Collette, who was absolutely lovely and who instantly had a clear idea what I needed, to the finishing result this service couldn't be better. My writer was Wendy and first time she got it spot on with only a few small tweaks needed, she is amazing, so pleasant and efficient and knows her stuff. I cant thank you enough Wendy, I'm over the moon with everything.
Rachel provided a high quality service across CV, linked in and covering letter. Her questions in the initial phone call allowed me to get across the key points i wanted to come out in my CV and she provided good advise and feedback. The quality of the written documentation was excellent, showing she's really understood what what we'd discussed. She took on board feedback and we settled on the final CV within a couple of rounds of changes. My only negative feedback would be the timings. I'd agreed the express service within my price and although the initial draft was within the agreed timescale I had to wait for updated versions based on my feedback, the linked in and eventually the covering letter. It took in total 17 days despite generally providing feedback within a few hours to any questions and only having around 2-3 rounds of feedback.
Finding myself out of work In middle age, and with a CV that had not been revised for server all years, led me to seek professional assistance. A quick Google search took me to CV Centre where I was assisted by Wendy. With her help I now have a concise, focused CV that I hope will lead to employment suited to my skills in the near future.
Kathlyn was very patient, the work I needed was for a salary review and I had stats and diagrams that needed to be translated for the letter. Kathlyn and I managed to figure it out together. I found her so professional, willing to understand my needs and had a very collaborative approach to communicating online with me.
These guys are pros!
I very much liked Louise’s writing and professionalism. I disliked having to approve my identity for every interaction. This could be simpler. If not through an app that usually expensive it could work better though a responsive web that keeps the user logged in.
I loved how Betty helped me to fix my CV, she helped me to prioritize the most relevant jobs and I asked her general tips. She was great!
Caroline was fast doing the changes requested and communication was always on good mood tone. Thank you
Super end result. Articulated all my important achievements and experience to date in concise format. A great value service by the entire team with a special mention to Nathan.
Took long to get allocated a writer. There was no point in answering the questions of what you want, because I don't think anybody read it. First product was a template with zero professional services input on CV 're-write' the second one allocated was much better but the fact that I had to complain to actually get the services I paid for was rather disappointing to me. If you want a new CV template I would recommend, but beyond that I felt there was no real value for money in the offering. But rather they were very focused on selling the next additional thing instead of just providing the service, additional call, additional speed of delivery time. If a CV can not be written without these additional services then maybe don't sell such a bundle.
Crisp. Fast. Really happy with the division between my professional life and non-profit activities. This shows both sides of the coin.
A good basis cover letter, which I can easily tailor to the job profile.
After a number of talks and brief catch-ups I now have an up-to-date set of documents I can use to make the next step in my career.
Jeff is a good listener and shows initiative. Quick thinker. Also took onboard suggestions.
I was updated throughout and found the process prompt and professional - I'm extremely happy with my CV, it has given me the confidence to apply for a new role! - Thank you Alisdair
Summarised my extensive career very well, prompt helpful service
I would like to thank Nathan for his prompt replies and, and understating my needs, the process went smooth,
I will definitely use the services again and recommend this platform to anyone, no matter how experienced everyone is, we all need an extra edge and CV Centre does just that. Thank you again

Claire was my Premium CV writer and also provided my Cover letter and Linkedin profile update. We had the 30 minute phone discussion which enabled her to immediately understand my expectations for my future career. Her professionalism and experience meant all elements of the Premium package were successfully delivered in the 1st draft. My tired old CV and Cover Letter now have a new vibrancy about them which I would not have believed possible. Thanks again Claire
Excellent service
