While some clients may simply want us to proofread or copyedit their résumés/CVs, others may want us to undertake a more tailored review of their résumés/CVs. Similar to substantive editing, our review of résumés/CVs involves the following:
Ensuring the content of your résumé/CV is tailored to the specific job or industry, with the most relevant experiences, skills, and qualifications highlighted.
Ensuring that your résumé/CV is focused on quantifiable accomplishments rather than just listing job duties.
Including industry-specific keywords and phrases that align with the job description.
Ensuring your résumé/CV meets the standards and expectations of the specific industry or field.
Prioritising skills that are directly relevant to the job, including both hard and soft skills.
Assessing whether the résumé/CV convincingly positions the candidate as a strong fit for the role.
Benefits of using our résumé/CV review service:
By ensuring that the CV is highly tailored to the job and highlights relevant achievements, skills, and experiences, our review ensures that the candidate is more likely to catch the attention of employers, leading to a higher chance of securing interviews and job offers.
We will use track changes in Microsoft Word to highlight edits and provide detailed feedback on areas for improvement, so you will be provided with two versions of the edited document – one clean final version, and the other using track changes to show where the edits have been made.
