CV Writing Service
Will my new CV get me a job offer or an interview?
We cannot guarantee that you will secure an interview or a job offer after using our services. We will ensure your CV is optimised and tailored to your desired industry and career goals, however, the job application process is dependent on a variety of factors and CVs are only one competent of this process.
That being said, many of our clients have been successful in securing interviews and subsequently job offers after using our services. Many clients have extremely positive experiences using our services. You can find testimonies from previous clients here: https://covermycv.com/reviews/.
I have never written a CV, is that a problem? Can I still order from you?
That’s fine, CVs are a tricky thing to write. If you don’t have a document you can send us, let us know and we will send you an amended intake form for you to fill in so we have the information we need to complete your order.
I have ordered from CMC in the past and I have gained more experience that I would like added to my CV. How much would these amendments cost?
Thank you for using Cover My CV in the past. We really value our clients and are keen to provide support throughout your career journey.
If you would like your document/s to be edited to incorporate new experiences that you have attained, a small fee will be required to complete these edits for you.
You can find this service on our website under “CV Edits for Returning Customers”. The fee for this service ranges from £15 for minor edits to £30 for extensive edits. If you require your CV to be amended for a new industry/new role, the price for this service increases to £50, however, we are happy to offer a loyalty discount of 15% for returning customers.
Once you place an order for this service, you will receive an intake form requesting the document/s you would like edited and details of the edits you would like to be made and/or the new information that you want to be included.

Refunds
I used your services a few months ago but I still have not received a job/interview offer. Can I get a refund?
While we make every effort to produce competitive CVs and cover letters, we cannot guarantee that you will receive interviews or job offers. A good CV, while a useful tool, is not a silver bullet in the competitive job market. There are many factors outside of CVs and cover letters that determine whether a candidate progresses during the recruitment stages including competition, discrimination and the current job market.
We want to ensure all our clients are happy with the service they receive so if you find yourself in a position where you have your CV revamped by us and you are not seeing results, please get in touch with us. We are happy to offer you a phone consultation to discuss your progress in terms of job applications, and to see if we can offer you any additional support.
If you would like additional support in relation to job applications and the recruitment process, we are here to help. Cover My CV offers tailored 1-1 career coaching services that can help you wherever you are on your career journey. Each session is tailored to your unique situation and experience. Our services include but are not limited to interview preparation, workplace anxiety and career transition. Go to our Career Coaching page to find out more about this service and to book a session: https://covermycv.com/1-1-coaching/.
Discounts
Do you offer discounts/loyalty rewards?
Yes, we offer a 15% discount for returning customers which can be used across our whole service range. The discount code will be sent to you after you have received your completed order from us via email.
If you book a CV Appraisal with us, you will also receive 20% off all our job application services.

After this, you will be required to fill in your details and provide us with some information such as your CV so we can understand your work experience and current career goals. Then all you need to do is confirm your booking and you will be prompted to enter your payment details to secure your 1-1 appointment.
