It means their CV has been designed and written by an expert CV writer who understands how employers and recruitment agencies review CVs and how they reject poor applications. It is well worth investing in <a href=\"https:\/\/cvagency.ie\/product\/professional-cv-senior-level-technical\/\">professional CV<\/a>, as a professional CV writer&#8217;s insight can be critical in winning an invitation to interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employing a professional CV writer to make an effective CV and cover letter is suitable for candidates at all stages of their career journey and throughout every employment sector. It is a particularly suitable option for candidates in these situations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should use a CV writing service?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1<\/strong>. <strong>No existing CV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be daunting to find yourself in a situation where you suddenly need a CV for a role and have no experience in terms of what is required to sell yourself. In this situation, a professional CV writer can eliminate the risk of submitting a poorly prepared CV by writing the ideal CV for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2<\/strong>. <strong>An out-of-date CV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common reasons people make contact with a professional CV writer is to help them improve an out-of-date or outmoded CV or cover letter. A CV may lack the most recent experience and skills, be missing a contemporary presentation, or be focused on areas that are no longer relevant to a person\u2019s career level or aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> <strong>Refinement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minor details can have a big impact when an employer is reviewing a CV. Many candidates with existing CVs use a professional CV writer to make precise refinements, where the CV writer can bring their wealth of expertise in producing top-class CVs to give an existing CV a competitive edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Graduates \/ Early Career<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employing a professional CV writer can be especially useful for graduates at the beginning of their career journey. When considering an internship, graduate programme, or travelling abroad for work, a specialist writer can play a crucial role in supporting a graduate in their early career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. New to the Irish employment market<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CVs prepared outside\nof the Irish market may not be suitable for use when applying for jobs in Ireland.\nA local, professional CV writer can be extremely beneficial in supporting\ncandidates to localise their CV and cover letter and help them avoid key\nmistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For further information or advice about your CV contact The CV Agency on <a href=\"mailto:cv@cvagency.ie\">cv@cvagency.ie<\/a> or 01 499 1466, or<a href=\"https:\/\/cvagency.ie\/order\/\"> click here to order a CV, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"slide-text-bg2\"><span>Using a professional CV writer has become increasingly common, giving candidates a competitive advantage &#8230;<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[2],"tags":[9,75,34,76],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CV Writer - Is it worth using a professional?
