NED CV Writing Service with Industry Leaders

Welcome to The CV & Interview Advisors, where we specialise in delivering exceptional CV writing services tailored specifically for Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) and Board Advisors. Our comprehensive solutions encompass CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and one-page executive bios, designed to optimise your professional image and enhance your networking capabilities. If you are embarking on an NED or portfolio career, you'll need a certain type of CV that is different to a CV aimed at FTE roles. To fulfil this need, you will need to engage a specialist provider who understands the nuances of this market - this is something we have extensive experience in.

Avoid the common pitfall of selling only "grey hair and whiskers"
Utilise marketing techniques, customer avatars, and buyer psychology
Align your positioning and message with the needs of your target audience

Customer case studies

Before

Carl is a Project Manager and had been applying for contract roles for several months and became very disillusioned with the job market. He was applying for roles he could easily do and was wondering why he wasn’t getting calls back from recruiters. By this point he had re-written his CV 5 times and also reached out to colleagues for help. He started to invest more time into developing his skills and gained various new accreditations but this still did little to improve his job search. At this point he had zero confidence in my CV and needed help.

Since using the new CV, he has seen a large upturn in call backs / interviews and have now secured a new role on the highest rate he's had to date. He reported that this makes the initial cost of the service pale in comparison to the increase in earnings

After

I found your CV writing services and looked into the cost. To the average person it probably looks expensive and I too was nervous about spending the money. Fast forward 6 weeks and I wish I had done this sooner. My CV writer provided an excellent CV re-write and LinkedIn profile but more importantly explained WHY and HOW these documents are written as they are. I could see where I’d been going wrong and understood the importance of gathering data to show what impact I had and the value I created. My advice to anyone considering this service is go for it, you will learn a lot and you will significantly increase your chances of landing that dream role. So a big thanks and I will definitely be back in the future for further services

Before

David came to us after re-writing his CV several times and failing to secure interviews.

Thank you very much for your help and a great CV. I would recommend this service to any banking professional.

After

David contacted us after 3 months to say that he had secured several interviews and was offered a job with a 20% pay rise.

Thanks for the CV and Covering letter. I have just finished a telephone conversation with Sue who has made a few 'tweaks'. I have to say I am very impressed!

Many thanks for the completed CV and the cover letter. I would like to say how pleased I am with both the level of service and the end products. I know I asked you to work to fairly tight deadlines and not only has that been easily achieved but there is time to spare. Many thanks again and if I, my wife or any of my friends and colleagues require assistance, I shall not hesitate in returning to you or recommending you.

Since you compiled my CV a few months ago, there has been quite a lot of interest. I dare say with the current downturn in the job market there are a lot more people looking for new jobs than usual. However, there is a company that is showing interest in me and it is looking good for an interview.

I got my first draft and to be honest it is an excellent CV which will get attention from employers.
