Public Sector CV Writing Services | Free CV Review

World-class writing service for the public sector

Navigating the requirements of public sector CVs can be challenging. What truly defines an outstanding public sector CV? Is it merely listing transferable skills, jotting down job titles with associated descriptions, or appending a generic personal statement? The truth is, to genuinely make an impact, capture the attention of recruitment decision-makers, outperform ATS and significantly enhance your interview chances, it takes a more refined approach.

At The CV & Interview Advisors, we pride ourselves on our in-depth experience in crafting compelling CVs tailored for public sector professionals, including those targetting the most senior roles. Our work isn't just based on theoretical best practices; we have collaborated directly with numerous public sector and government entities, delivering redundancy programmes and career-enhancing workshops. We've also assisted thousands of clients to transition inside and outside of the public sector.

We are a 5-star rated, award-winning, and our confidence in delivering excellence is echoed in our money-back guarantee.

16 years of experience with a tried and tested formula

Over here at The CV & Interview Advisors, we don't just start writing about your career in a random fashion and we certainly don't simply edit what's already there.

We need to conduct a thorough fact finding session to understand your career goals, value proposition and track record. We then apply our tried and tested methodology that has taken many years to perfect. We have over 16 years experience of working with public sector professionals and executives and have relevant career coaches who specialise in this area.

We understand the unique culture and terminology used within the public sector and have extensive knowledge of the hot skills and KPIs that drive success.

We have written at all levels including Service Heads and Chief Executives of Local Authorities.

Our detailed approach

We have extensive experience working with lifelong public sector workers or clients transitioning into the private / commercial sector. If you fall into the latter category, there are challenges, but the process we take you through will allow you to clarify your career goals and create a realistic and achievable career strategy.

Once we have helped you gain an element of clarity with regards to your career goals, we define the hot skills within your chosen field so that your new, personal branding document is tailored around the needs of your target audience.

The next phase is all about working with you to define your elevator pitch. During a 2-hour fact finding session (via Zoom, Teams or tel), we explore the following:

Your value proposition, personal brand and positioning
Your professional strengths and skills
All of your relevant employment history
Your education and relevant previous experience
Your qualifications and expertise
Your key achievements and projects

Our accredited team

Our team of CV professionals, whom we fondly refer to as "Personal Branding Specialists", undergo an intensive selection and training process. Their journey culminates in an internal certification program, leading to the revered CVIA Accredited CV Practitioner accreditation. This accreditation is not easily achieved; it demands mastering a comprehensive exam. Only upon conquering this challenge do our writers earn the right to stand amongst the elite in the CV writing world.

When you engage with our talented team, we ensure your CV is transformed into a compelling narrative tailored for your prospective role inside or outside of the public sector. Our specialised approach comprises:

Tailoring for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) compatibility
Crafting detailed case narratives to spotlight your standout achievements
Incorporating testimonials and endorsements for authentic social validation

Customer case studies

Looks great, thank you for your assistance. Now on with the job search.

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

Thank you for the revised CV. It's perfect. Thank you for everything. The service has been exceptional.

Before

Marianne had been made redundant from one of the industries most heavily impacted by Covid. Having been working in the commercial field for some 14+ years, she had never been out of work and was progressing well in her career. So, this hit her hard and impacted her overall confidence. Also, as someone for whom English was not their first language (although verbally bilingual) she also found writing down grammatically accurate language relating to her expertise hard. Marianne's company invested in outplacement support as part of her redundancy package.

I wanted to drop you a quick note to say how fantastic your team is. I was allocated a CV writer to help me with refreshing my CV, my LinkedIn account and prep me for any interviews. Not only did she do the above with care and experience. She also helped me go through all the emotions associated with being made redundant by making sure I still believed in me. She was very professional, reliable and turned tasks around rapidly. Her preparation of me for the interview was just perfect. She listened, selected the right questions and 'tweaked' answers to make sure they were great!

After

As a result of Marianne working through a complete career transition programme with The CV & Interview Advisors, within 6 months of being made redundant, she had not only got a job but had secured the right job to be able to progress her career.
