Updated to 5 stars after further excellent work by Claire!
I was thoroughly impressed by the CV and LinkedIn profile, and I eagerly anticipated an equally outstanding cover letter. While the cover letter was good, I felt there was considerable room for improvement.
I was never sure that my own covering letter was getting me any traction, I was pleased with the template I received from Claire as it gave me a fresher perspective on whether I should use one or not.
I have used it once so far, I'm not able to feedback if it is helping me or not. But I think it is better than my own covering letter
They crafted a compelling letter, capturing my skills perfectly. Highly recommended!
James did an impressive job with my CV and highlighting my professional skills in my cover letter. I did not realise that when I approved an order I could not message him back to thank him for his support.
It appears there has been a slight misunderstanding as to how our customer service portal works. Communication remains perfectly possible, even once an order has been approved by the client. (And I can assure you that both Jameses are now fully aware of your kind comments!)
Great service and excellent work from my writer James for my Next Step package bundle.
I received all of the work within a couple days with no issues. Highly recommend there services.
Claire was truly amazing and professional to work with. I am well impressed by her extensive knowledge and experience . She delivered an impressive CV and cover letter. Thank you very much Claire
The cover letter has been setup to be easily adapted and I learnt a lot from Claire too!
A template that provides a clear sense of direction! Must use!
Very pleased with how my information was summarised. Will be easy to adapt this for whatever role I wish to apply for, and for approaching potential employers.
Poorest service. None of the work was completed. The first draft for the cover letter was a copy and paste of my cv, the second a copy and paste of the JD and the third a copy and paste of thoughts I shared. I had to write the cover letter myself in the end so I wouldn't miss the deadline. And when I asked for a refund, I was told I had been sent all the drafts and the work was completed. No refund, and now no communication.
Really pleased with the covering letter that was produced for me.
I had never known what to write on a cover letter. The advice from Zach gave me everything I need to know how to tailor a cover letter for the job spec.
James wrote the cover letter to be used with broad use, in the industry I searching. Again Excellent.
I was very impressed with the quality of her writing and very happy with the cover letter. It was exactly what I was hoping for. She guided me every step of the way and was very accommodating to my specific needs. Great experience!
Expect a personal professional expert who is willing to help your every need and transform your CV & Cover Letter.
You articulated my resume in a way I could not have done. Love it. Thank you
It took very few drafts to complete the letter. Sandra knew when to change things according to my comments and when not to. It was obvious she knew what she was doing, and this was very reassuring.
Shamir had a perfect job, I recommend her.
After a few drafts the cover letter was perfect! Sandra knew exactly when to act upon or override my comments! It was obvious that she knew what she was doing and I knew I could completely trust her.
As I have just relocated to the UK need a great cover letter to apply for opportunities. Very happy with the result.
My writer/editor cooperated with me to make sure the letter of application reflects who I am and is more than appropriate for the role I apply for.
I can only compliment his patience.
I used the Cv centre services for 3th time now and they always did a great work, but this time I couldn’t be happier, James was amazing, he did so quick everything. My cv is just as I wanted, so is my cover letter. Thank you very much James 🙏
Very professional and helpful
I think having a CV writer write a cover letter is very difficult as cover letters are supposed to be very tailored to the requirements of each particular role. My main issue, however, was that I have consistently read and been told (by advice sites and career advisors or experts in the industry), that I should also be sure to follow the STAR technique. Basically, to back up my claims of 'being something' or 'being able to do something,' with an example of how I have done this in the past (or something similar that could be transferred).
The cover letter was absent from this and the focus was on explaining what I can do and not how/why I feel in a position to make this statement. I tried to express my concern by pointing to a few examples, but, the writer simply changed the claims that I was making, but still did not give examples to back them up, and explained that this (the style of the cover letter) was a proven strategy and add to it myself to further tailor it for each job.
I fully expected that I would need to change or add to it for each role. But, the way that these examples of 'strengths' were written and presented just felt very abstract. As an example, writing "Overhauling training and working practices; improving the transparency of key information to improve decision making" is fine, but, what is missing is an example of when and how I have previously done this and how this relates to improving the transparency of key information....".
The other thing I was a little confused about was this sentence, "Additionally, my talents in communication, report writing and relationship building will enable me to seamlessly integrate with your team and provide exceptional service to ensure an outstanding student experience." The roles I am applying for have nothing to do with the student experience so this is really irrelevant. As I said in my feedback on the CV, if I am told to expect the work in approx 2-3 business days, then please take the time to check these small details rather than delivering it within 24 hours but with these kinds of problems which makes one feel that it has been done in a bit of a rush.
I am sure if I had kept contacting the CV writer about each of these issues big and small they would have all been resolved. But, as I am working, studying, and writing cover letters on a daily basis, I was tired of also giving back feedback about these things which I felt were fairly obvious - I had also already changed from one CV writer to another although I would have preferred a refund at that time, as my confidence in the service was very low, so this impacted my willingness this time around to keep giving feedback and raising issues - especially when I did not feel like my point was understood and addressed.
I'm good at writing cover letters, but it takes me weeks of writing and reviewing because I am a perfectionist. Amy was fantastic at writing my cover letter. Thank you, you saved me a lot of time.
I am very happy with the final result, and how all my requests have been dealt with.
I highly recommend The CV Centre
The Senior Writer spent a lot of time with me finalising the draft, ensuring at all times that she had understood what was important for me and which type of position I was applying for. Her patience, professionalism and understanding of the subject matter were superb and the final cover letter fully incorporated all the most important elements of my career.
Really good cover letter written by Ian, hitting all the key points required. Ian was lovely to work with throughout, and happy to carry out any edits I asked of him. I'm actually looking forward to sending out my cover letter now!
I like the professionalism, expertise and technical know of the writer Blake, my CV & cover letter turned out to be outstanding.
IT IS WEAST OF MONEY
We remain at your disposal if you'd like us to continue working on your letter - please feel free to get in touch any time.
Naomi was amazing. She was always there if I need to discuss my Coverletter or CV.
I like the experience of dealing with the team.
Chara understands the brief . Well written and save me so much time
Simply amazing
Liked the fact that my consultant worked with me to ensure the details are correct. NOt so sure that teh finished article was a template that was copied and utilised. No fear just adapt it and add you personal stamp to it.
A great letter that I have already used and waiting to hear good news on.
Very professional and useful to have a covering letter written in this format.
Really useful and worth every penny. Will definitely be recommending this to friends, family and colleagues. So worthwhile to do even if you are not actively looking for a new role.
I am really pleased with my cover letter. It reads concise and assured.
Jeff was a great listener, understood my needs and captured who I was fantastically.
Customized, deep, insightful, laser-sharp targeting right people and your goals!
They have edited my Cover letter highlighting my achievements and capitalizing on my experience; deeply insightful work made by the James Innes Group.
What amazed me was their understanding of my goals and best areas where those can be achieved.
Depending on what you want, you can ask them to write a Cover letter tailored to a particular employer, or a general Cover letter that shows your best talents, strengths, and achievements.
James Innes Group is a group of professionals who will make your goals achievable!
Thank you!
Prosperity and Success to You!
Although Jeff felt cover letters were becoming less important tonight I have viewed a vacancy, which requires one. The letter is concise and informative, giving a summary of key attributes. I highly recommend Jeff for his expertise and patience.
A great service and worth every pennie.
It was done very fast and the end product was excellent.
Rebecca,
really spent time capturing the key points and conveying them in the best possible manner. The Cover Letter in my view will be a differentiator in my job search.
Great service, efficient communication and a really easy way to get a Professional CV with lots of help and support to rewrite my profile and market it worthy, I have good skillset but I used to have a bad CV which made me lose lot of opportunities but Betty from CV Centre helped me to get it done in a right way and she is very patient and did as many amendments until I am satisfied and I took a Bundle of CV, LinkedIn Profile and CV, so all are in the right pace and track.
Kathlyn elevated my linked in profile to another level. Thanks.
Claire gave me some brilliant pointers on what or how to prepare a cover letter. This has now in turn made me prepared for job applications.
Outstanding work by Nathan, expressing a ton of patience and understanding throughout our collaboration, offering useful advice as well as making a total makeover and a masterpiece of both my CV and Cover Letter!
With a service and assistance such as this one, will surely be back for 'seconds' or at least 'dessert' in the coming future!
I want to personally thank Demetra for all the hard work you carried out on my CVs, you have met my expectations and I would most certainly recommend in the future.
I am happy with the overall service provided.
I liked the Cover Letter service as it does hit the all the key competencies and can be tailored to the specific needs of diverse hiring agencies.
Content can be tailored when filling in bio forms that some employers may use as part of the application pack.
I found the service very efficient and i cannot thank Zeth enough. He was on hand to respond to many of my questions during the whole process
I've used this company for many years and each year they get better. My only gripe was it took 10 days to complete the order. There was no communication as to whether they closed for the festive period or not and I was left wondering what's going on.
The cover letter was written very nicely and professionally.
Claire worked on my CV, Linkedin profile and cover letter and produced documents that highly showcases my skills and experience in a clear succint way. She's a highly skilled professional anyone will be pleased to work with. Many thanks again, Claire!
Rebecca has put her effort and time to write my cover letter perfectly. Very good communication, understanding and patience. I recommend anyone who struggle with their CV or have tried any other services to ask for Rebecca
I was really pleased with the cover letters written for me by Nathan. I always struggle with such letters, especially in a new job market. With these letters, though, I feel more confident. The letters were also adapted in a way which makes me certain that I won't be afraid of making mistakes when amending them for different positions.
Four stars for the company. However, five stars for the senior CV writer Naomi. Naomi is excellent and professional. She understood what I want quickly and clearly, and helped edit my CV and other documents so well and promptly. I felt more confident in myself because of her work. Also, I learnt a lot from her. I felt so glad to have her help me.
The cover letter they created for me is simply perfect. I have asked them to add a few points and they quickly added all for me. Amazing job!!
I really like the efficient way and how fast the work has been done .
The cover letter came as part of the package I bought and when it comes to applying for roles, it will certainly help as a base letter to work from. The CV Centre expert also gave some good advice on tailoring too.
Working with Claire has been a great learning experience, the final part of the process being a covering letter; encapsulating the details from all elements I have no doubt that if I had tried to complete this myself I would have been hard pressed to bring to the fore the detailing provided. In every part of this process the support, feedback and recommendations have been outstanding. My personal thanks to the team and especially Claire who has worked hard to produce a very rounded service for me to move forward with.
The cover letter my senior consultant, Claire, helped me put together means I am using a cover letter for the first time. I passed up on so many job postings which required a cover letter because I didn't really understand how to put it together and differentiate it from my CV. I have been given a good draft which is adaptable depending on exactly which job I am applying for and having this so well written means I am confidently applying for double the jobs now.
Loved the accessibility & ease of interaction. Professional & friendly service. Highly recommend!
I asked the writer the amend the cover letter many times and every time he just comes back with the same one. He was out of words and formatting and out of the industry knowledge
I had cv , cover letter and LinkedIn produced by Daniel .
He was was quick and it turned out brilliantly . I would highly recommend . Thanks again Daniel
Claire managed to create a great cover letter that will make sure it reaches to an interview. This is the first time that I have cover letter that tells my story really well.
The writer was able to understand my experience and my knowledge and write a clear letter that covered all the important information.
I liked the rapid responses to updates required. What I didn't like was only having the one verbal conversation. I had one phone call with Rebecca but no verbal contact with Christeline who was actually composing my CV, Covering Letter, and Linkedin Profile. It would have been more productive, in my opinion, to have discussed some of the proposed updates over the phone rather than continuously having to communicate with written notes. I did suggest doing this but was told no call was allocated. I would have also liked my Linkedin Profile to have been actually done by Christeline rather than copy and paste the information as some of the content and suggested areas for these to be added I struggled to find owing to my unfamiliarity with Linkedin. I could have provided my login details plus password and when profile was completed, changed the password.
Kind regards,
Terry Dean
Daniel Rosen is a great writer read, understood, wrote and illustrated what's in my mind onto a document. Most importantly, I would really appreciate his positive attitude he displayed during these brief communications we had to get things rights. Thank you for the great job.
Much better than I could ever have written, or have been bothered to write! Thank you Claire!
Shanley created a professional and concise cover letter for me. Shanley's communication was excellent throughout the entire process and the finished product shows that I was really listened to. I would highly recommend Shanley for other CV, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile drafting.
The cover letter was very detailed and written really well. It included everything I had done in my career and written in a way that made it sound a lot fuller and exciting than I could have written!
