Well, after much thought and heart ache I've finally decided to get my CV written proffesionally. There are so many sites offering so much conflicting advice, even for specific jobs, that I figure it must be worth a shot. Can anyone recommend (or not recommend) a company? Again, there are so many out there - far to many to choose from. I'd like a company that is going to ask incitful questions about me and know what they are doing rather than take my existing CV and re-jig a little. Any advice is good advice! thanks in advance.

first thing you need to do is develop the habit of running spell check on everything you write! Second I can recommend the CV assessment service on top-consultant.com (not an ad, I'm a simple punter); I didn't agree with everything Sarah wrote but much of what she said was good advice and stuff I hadn't thought of. It's not expensive and you can decide after reading it if you want to go ahead to have yours professionally written.

Thanks for the recommendation - I'll give it a go.

has anyone used "fuller CV? their prices are far and away more expensive that anyone else I've found - are they any good? can anyone vouch for or against them? thanks for reading!

With all due respect, if you need somebody to write your resume for you, then I hardly see how you can succeed in consulting...
