Book an Introductory Call With a UK CV Writer

Do you have a CV problem that needs fixing, or a big career move to plan? I’d love to talk it through with you.

This introductory call is a short, no-obligation conversation where we’ll look at your current situation, your CV or LinkedIn profile, and the best next step for your career.

  • Independent UK CV writer – you speak directly with me, not a call centre.
  • Bespoke advice – tailored to your goals, level and target roles.
  • Support for all career stages – from first job through to senior executive.

Book your introductory call or, if you’d prefer to start with written feedback, you can request a Free CV Review.

Is This Introductory Call Right for You?

This call is ideal if you want clear, honest guidance before committing to any service. It may be a good fit if:

  • You’re unsure whether your current CV, LinkedIn profile or cover letter are up to UK market standards.
  • You’re not sure which CV writing service or package suits your situation.
  • You’re changing career, returning to work, or aiming for a promotion and need help positioning your experience.
  • You want to explore options like job-search strategy, interview preparation or career coaching, but aren’t sure where to start.
  • You’re applying for roles in London, the East Midlands, elsewhere in the UK or from overseas into the UK market and want UK-specific advice.

If any of those sound familiar, this call will help you get clarity and a concrete next step.

What We’ll Cover on Your Call

Every introductory call is tailored, but we’ll usually cover:

  1. Your current situation
    A quick overview of your background, recent roles (or studies), and where you feel stuck in your job search or career.
  2. Your goals and target roles
    The type of roles you’re aiming for, your preferred locations (for example London, the East Midlands or fully remote), and any timelines or deadlines you’re working toward.
  3. Your CV, LinkedIn and applications today
    A high-level review of what’s working, what isn’t, and how your profile currently lands with UK recruiters and hiring managers.
  4. Recommended next steps
    An honest suggestion of the most suitable support, whether that’s a bespoke CV writing service, LinkedIn profile writing, cover letter writing, or a focused coaching or job-search strategy session.

You’re welcome to bring a specific job description or target role to the call if you have one.

What Happens After Your Call?

After we speak, I’ll follow up with a clear summary so you know exactly what to do next. This typically includes:

  • A short recap of your situation and goals.
  • Recommended services or packages (by career level: no-experience, graduate, professional, executive) that genuinely fit your needs.
  • Indicative pricing and timelines so you can plan with confidence.

There is no hard sell and no obligation to commit to anything.
If I don’t think you need a full service, I’ll tell you and point you to helpful resources instead.

FAQs About the Introductory Call

How long is the introductory call?

Most calls last around 20–30 minutes. If your situation is more complex, we can schedule a longer slot.

Is there any obligation to work with you afterwards?

No. The introductory call is designed to give you clarity and an honest recommendation. You’re free to decide in your own time whether to proceed with any service.

Do I need to send my CV before the call?

It helps, but it’s not essential. If you already have a CV, you can share it in advance via the Free CV Review page or by email.
If you don’t have a CV yet, we’ll simply talk through your experience and goals during the call.

Do you work with clients outside the UK?

Yes. I’m UK-based but regularly support clients in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and beyond, particularly those applying for UK roles or wanting a UK-style CV. All calls are held online, so location is rarely a barrier.

What if I already know I want a full CV package?

That’s great, the call will help us confirm the most suitable package for your level (for example, Graduate CV Writing,
Professional CV Writing or Executive CV Writing) and agree on timelines before we start.

Where My Clients Are Based

I serve clients throughout the United Kingdom and globally, with particular experience supporting professionals in London, the East Midlands and other major UK cities.
