CV Writing Service: How My Bespoke UK CV Writing Service Works
My CV writing service is a one-to-one, bespoke process that helps you present your experience clearly, confidently and in line with UK employer expectations. Every CV is written by me, not outsourced, not generated by AI, and never based on templates.
Whether you are applying in London, the East Midlands or elsewhere in the UK (or targeting UK roles from overseas), I will help you translate your career story into a CV that feels authentic and gets noticed.
If you would like to compare specific packages by career level, you can also visit my CV writing services hub.
“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.”
What Is a CV Writing Service?
A CV writing service is a professional service that helps you create a clear, compelling and up-to-date CV aligned with your goals and industry. Instead of struggling alone with templates or AI tools, you work with a specialist who knows what UK hiring managers and recruiters want to see.
When you work with me, we start with a detailed consultation so I can understand your background, target roles and any challenges you are facing. I then use this information to design and write a bespoke CV that:
- Highlights your most relevant skills, experience and achievements.
- Uses language and structure that make sense to recruiters in your sector.
- Is formatted to work smoothly with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
- Positions you for your next step, not just your current position.
A good CV writing service should give you more than a polished document; it should help you see your value more clearly and feel confident sending your CV out. That’s the standard I hold myself to.
On my CV writing services page, you can see how this core service is tailored to different career levels, from no experience and graduate through to professional and executive.
Is My CV Writing Service Right for You?
I work with clients at every stage of their career. My CV writing service is particularly useful if you:
- Feel your current CV is not doing you justice or is out of date.
- Are changing sector or country and are unsure how to reposition your experience.
- Have a non-linear career path and don’t know how to “join the dots”.
- Are aiming for promotion, leadership roles or a more strategic position.
- Are returning to work after a break and want to re-enter the market with confidence.
I offer bespoke CV writing options for different levels:
- No-Experience CV Writing – for school leavers, early-career candidates and career changers starting from scratch.
- Graduate CV Writing – for students and recent graduates targeting internships, graduate schemes and first professional roles.
- Professional CV Writing – for experienced professionals ready for promotion, sector moves or new opportunities.
- Executive CV Writing Service – for senior leaders, Directors, Heads of, VPs and C-suite candidates.
If you are unsure which option fits best, you can request a free CV review or book an introductory call, and I will recommend the most suitable CV writing service for your situation.
“I’d used ‘professional’ CV writers before but still kept getting rejections. Brendan completely transformed my CV and job-search strategy, helping me showcase my skills and pivot into the industry I really wanted. My new CV stood out from over 200 applicants and I was finally shortlisted.”

How My CV Writing Service Works
My CV writing service follows a clear, structured process so you always know what will happen next and what to expect.
01
Initial enquiry or free CV review.
You can start by requesting a free CV review or booking an introductory call. I will look at your existing CV (if you have one), listen to your goals and answer any initial questions.
02
In-depth 1-to-1 consultation.
We schedule a structured conversation (up to around 1.5 hours) to discuss your experience, achievements, target roles and any gaps or concerns. This is where we uncover the detail that makes your CV stand out.
03
Drafting your bespoke CV.
After the consultation, I create the first draft of your new CV from scratch. I focus on clarity, impact and alignment with UK employer expectations and ATS requirements. Typical turnaround for the first draft is around 3–5 working days, depending on the service and my schedule.
04
Review and feedback.
You review the draft and share your feedback, questions or additional information. We discuss any changes
you would like to make so that the CV feels accurate and authentic to you.
05
Revisions and final delivery.
I refine the CV based on your feedback and provide up to two rounds of revisions. Once you are happy with the document, I provide the final version in commonly used formats, ready for job applications.
06
Ongoing support.
Where helpful, I will also give you advice on how to tailor your new CV for different roles. Many clients then choose to add LinkedIn optimisation, cover letters or coaching for interviews and job-search strategy.
If you are an experienced professional, you may also want to see how this process applies to my Professional CV Writing service.

Why should I choose Brendan Hope CV Writing?
I offer a highly personalised CV writing service, built on years of experience and mentoring from some of the most successful CV writers in the industry.

Do you charge for future amendments?
Your CV writing service includes up to two rounds of revisions during the project, so we can refine the document until you are happy with it. If you later need substantial updates, for example, adding new roles or a major promotion, I can provide a quote for a refresh based on the amount of work involved.

Yes. If you only have a few focused questions, you can still
request a free CV review and I will highlight key issues and suggestions. For ongoing advice, you might also find useful resources in my Career Advice hub, which covers common CV and job-search questions.
