CV Service London

Bespoke CV writing, LinkedIn support and career coaching; 100% remote across London and Greater London.

If you’re job-hunting in London and want a CV that sounds like you (not a template) and performs well in ATS systems, I can help. I’m Brendan Hope, an independent CV writer and career consultant supporting clients across London via phone or video — simple, focused, and professional.

“After being made redundant after 15 years, I asked Brendan to rebuild my CV from scratch. He took the time to really understand my experience and the role I wanted. The new CV landed me an interview on my first application – and I got the job. His CV writing is worth every penny.”

CV Writing Services in Central London

Central London is full of opportunity, and fierce competition. Whether you’re aiming for finance roles around the City and Canary Wharf, creative and media roles in Soho, tech and scale up roles across Shoreditch and Central London, or professional services across Westminster, your CV needs to do two things quickly:

Scan well in seconds (clear fit, strong structure, no clutter)

Hold attention (real achievements, credibility, and a coherent story)

My approach is calm and practical: we clarify your direction, identify the strongest evidence from your work, then shape a CV that makes it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to say, “Yes: interview.”
