Anyone used a CV writing service

[andyc2000]

I did use a CV writing service and found it fairly useful - albeit far too expensive for what you get. The CV I ended up with wasn't much different from my original layout and the content didn't really change much, just the way I had worded things - I guess my CV was pretty good to start with? Then a few months later I sent this new CV to another CV company for review who told me it wasn't very good and needed more impact, which was what the first company said.

I suspect the CV writing tips on this site will give you all you need.

Wife's friend is working in a University with MBA students.

The university pays a professional CV service to write CVs for them before they leave.

My wife is a self-employed proof-reader. She has the job of correcting them.

A nice little earner for a few weeks each summer BUT it gets right on my tits listening to her going on and on about how bad these CVs are.
