01
Professional Writing
Writing your own CV does not come naturally. A professionally produced and structured CV benefits from expert scrutiny and industry insight. It presents each person’s distinctive attributes in a way that demonstrates the value they can bring to a future employer.
Our specialist writers combine market knowledge with a detailed understanding of recruitment techniques. As skilled interviewers, they draw out employees’ strengths, develop their personal brand and create a compelling career story.
The process begins with an in-depth consultation with an experienced CV writer who genuinely cares about each client’s future success.
Employees receive carefully researched and professionally written personal marketing documents. These can include keyword-optimised CVs, LinkedIn profiles, covering letters and biographies designed to generate interviews.
02
Career Transition Coaching
During redundancy, organisational restructuring or career transition, tailored coaching helps employees manage change, regain optimism and develop a positive plan for the future.
Professional Programme clients receive proactive, ongoing support from a career companion. As needs change, the coach can adapt and refocus the transition plan, prepare interview strategies, discuss applications and advise on tailoring CVs and approaches for different roles.
We carefully match each employee with a coach who can bring clarity and composure to an uncertain environment. This personal support helps them make sound career decisions and progress more quickly towards their next role.
03
Interview Training
Every interview opportunity matters. Tailored one-to-one interview coaching gives employees the preparation and techniques they need to improve their performance and convert more opportunities.
We partner with each employee to create, practise and deliver structured, strategic answers across a wide range of interview questions. Coaching helps them communicate their personal brand, overcome interview anxiety and strengthen their credibility, gravitas and impact.
Negotiation guidance helps employees approach the final stages with greater confidence. Because no two employees are the same, each person receives a development strategy designed around their individual needs.

Wellbeing & Mental Health Support
Redundancy has a ripple effect across people’s lives. Job loss can trigger immediate anxiety and affect everything from self-confidence to family finances. For many employees, the overriding question is, “What do I do now?”
City CV provides practical and emotional support for the stress, financial worries and personal or family issues that can arise. Employees can access regular mental health masterclasses and almost 100 wellbeing-related e-learning modules and articles through Career Refinery.
Our Wellbeing & Mental Health Support Helpline offers a safe space outside the workplace. Employees can discuss their concerns with a wellbeing coach through short-term, 30-minute sessions and receive guidance on referrals where necessary.
What our clients say
“The support City CV gave to my team and I, at a very difficult time, was invaluable. As a business leader, redundancies have to be one of the hardest situations to be involved in, for all concerned.
City CV’s practical advice and compassionate approach helped my staff feel better prepared for the changes they were facing and more positive about their future prospects.”
Head of Finance Business Partnering, British Airways

City CV are a natural partner for us. Their specialist team have provided practical and emotional support to our people when they needed it most. The feedback has been extremely positive.”

Their knowledge and experience and the support they provided has made a huge difference to those that have used the service.”
