Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nothing but helpful! From the career coaching to the professional CV, everything has been seamless and helpful. From thinking I didn't need or want coaching, to seeing the value in every session. I would not have been able to set myself as well as I have, without the support from City CV's services and their specialists!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. City CV enabled me to revamp my CV after a significant work break and reposition myself to future employers. I had hit a roadblock and was not getting interview requests until some sessions with City CV helped me pivot and resposition my experiences in the most effective way. I used them again a few years later to update the CV and have managed to secure a dream role.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The last time City CV worked on my CV, there was a palpable difference in responses from recruitment consultants and through the recruitment process itself. It’s the best money I spent on my career. I have built a portfolio of NED and board advisory roles. Now that my CV needs an update, I have no hesitation to return.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Louise was a great match for me and really helped me get into the right frame of mind to work out what I’m looking for. She supported with the overhaul of my CV, helped me with my Linkedin profile and coached me with interview technique and being aware of my own quirks. I would highly recommend City CV for anyone seeking outplacement support.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks to the help of City CV’s graduate coaching programme, I succeeded in securing a year long placement at a global FMCG company. I was up against some tough competition but I believe that the coaching that I received from Nick really helped me to stand out in each stage of the process, especially the assessment centre.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. City CV recently helped me update my CV, LinkedIn profile & create a cover letter template. The process was very simple and everyone I spoke to was very friendly & helpful. I learnt a lot about myself from discussing my work & future plans and I would recommend this process to anybody. The documents they created for me are fantastic and have given me a huge confidence boost as I start job hunting for the first time in almost 20 years.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. City CV did an excellent job of reworking my attempt to write my own CV into one I am actually pleased to share with anyone who wants to see it. The whole team there is great and the CV writer Nick took the time to understand my professional background in detail and how best to present it. It was a pleasure interacting with him and I won't hesitate in recommending City CV to anyone looking for professional guidance.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The advice from City CV was invaluable in getting my dream job. I faced very tough competition, but City CV helped me show my new employer that I was the right person for them.
They were totally professional. The CV writing service helped me target a specific role. The interview practice was great for building confidence.
