I recently contacted CV.CO.NZ again as Tom and his team had originally prepared my CV several years ago. And with my latest job search underway it was time to give it a much-needed refresh, as despite submitting numerous applications with my old CV I wasn't getting the level of interest or response I had expected. And the results speak for themselves. Following Tom's detailed review of my CV and the practical advice and notes he provided, I applied for nine roles. Of those, two received no response, three resulted in unsuccessful applications (although my CV clearly made it through to a hiring manager), and four recruiters contacted me and arranged interviews. I actually withdrew from the recruitment process with three of those recruiters because the fourth recruiter secured me a project role within about five days. I can't thank Tom enough for his CV review, insights, and practical job search tips. They made a real difference and the outcome exceeded my expectations. I'd highly recommend his services to anyone looking to strengthen their CV and improve their chances of landing the right role.

Tom accelerated getting a positive resolution of my job hunt. Even a 20 minutes exploratory phone call helped me to get clarity and re-think my strategy. This eventually contributed to have a positive outcome of my search, quickly. His positive and dynamic approach is highly recommended.

I highly recommend CV.CO.NZ! They completely transformed my CV, crafted a fantastic cover letter, and optimized my LinkedIn profile to perfectly match what New Zealand employers look for. Thanks to their incredible help and professional expertise, I secured three interviews and received two job offers! If you want to stand out in the NZ job market, their services are worth every cent. Thank you so much for the amazing support!

My CV was significantly improved by Tom and the team. Both in text and lay out. Tom made a few tailor made CVs, catered to specific job add and showed the changes. I felt in good hands. In the current job market with unemployment the highest it has been in 10 years - one needs a CV that presents you in a professional, concise and relevant to the job or employer you want. Thanks Tom!

I am moving from USA to NZ and used Tom and his teams' services to get my Resume to the NZ CV format as well as Cover Letter and LinkedIn updates. I was amazed at the professional and detailed CV and Cover Letter; they did an amazing job highlighting and putting forward best information and skills that I had to give the best possible chance to get a job. His advice on LinkedIn connections was also invaluable for making new contacts and spurring conversation before and during the job hunt. In less than a month I got a job offer and I know part of that is due to the professional CV that his team created for me. I was really, really impressed, and would highly recommend for anyone else looking to make the move or just refresh their CV or Cover Letter.

Super professional and helpful service. Tom and the team a really knowledgable, very invested in your journey, very keen to support and help you present you and your skills/talent in the best possible way that helps you standout from the crowd and be the answer to the employers problem. Easy to get in touch with and talk to about your CV and cover letter needs. Very happy to provide advice and suggestions on ways to approach job interviews, letter drops to local business and tips to improve your CV and cover letter so that it highlights your qualifications, grades, experience and skills in a professional way. Tom and his team produced an amazing cover letter and CV that helped me really standout to potential businesses I was seeking jobs at, and it paid off in helping me land my first ever job.

After being made redundant Tom & his team reached out to me, he was very emphatic with my situation. They started working in improving my CV. They highlighted my strengths, what I can offer and they also included the comments of workmates regarding my work ethic. They also offered to tailor made my CV if ever I see a company I am interested in applying. Fast forward, I sent this CV to this company which I said would be my last application and then to stop. I didn't know what hit me but in less than two weeks, I was offered the Accounts Payable position they advertised. Thank you to Tom & his Team, I am forever grateful for the assistance they have provided.

I had occasion to work with CV.CO and drew upon their full range of services and coaching. Tom's expertise, positivity, quick turnarounds and ready availability were indispensable, and a big factor in developing quality opportunities and landing an exciting new role within a very short period of time. His boundless enthusiasm in support was particularly appreciated - thanks Tom.

Thank you to Tom and the team at CV.CO.NZ. I had an excellent experience with the development of my CV after 14 years of not needing one. I was quite overwhelmed by the significant changes that have taken place in this sector. Tom eased my concerns, and I appreciated the support, sharing of expertise, and being treated like a valued customer, not a number like other businesses. I highly recommend Tom and his team, and I will use their services again. I was successful in gaining an interview and I've also been offered a place in the Master's degree programme. The interviewer specifically commented on how much they liked my CV. Very happy with their service!
