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.
