Good IT CV. Anyone use CV writing companies?

[OwlHoot]

As you all know a good CV is the key to landing an interview and eventually a job. I am currently looking at redoing my CV as its dated .

was wondering if there are good examples for IT CV's geared towards management and service delivery.

Does anyone know of good CV writing companies or have experience with any

If you're a contractor, the answer is "No, good CV writing companies don't exist"

You could always try sites like peopleperhour and see if you can get someone experienced to do it, albeit cheaper.

Personally I have only ever done my own.

I won't recommend as it's years gone by, but I've had my CV done twice. Ultimately, I didn't end up using either of the final results BUT I did find the process very valuable. It forced me to really condense information down and I quite like having someone to review it as I find friends and such tend to be a bit over-nice and anybody else isn't really engaged enough to care.

In short, I'll do it again at some point when I feel I've run out of steam, but my current CV seems to get results so I'm happy.

The CV And Interview advisers seem quite good and I did watch their webinar, however, I caution against their contractor methodology. I found I stopped getting bites when I switched my CV to a more project focused, contractor CV. I ended up going back to an old-fashioned Role By Role one.

I did get a guy to help me write my LinkedIn page - it was fantastic for a while, to the point where people outright commented on it, but I managed to accidentally lose a lot of it like the idiot I am. To be honest, my LinkedIn needs a proper polish but again, I've had solid contracts for a few years now so I guess I've just not been arsed.

I had my CV reviewed free by a company with an option to pay for changes made to it. They mentioned how LinkedIn is now the biggest source for jobs and were recruiters go to find talent and also check your skills. basically a more in depth version of your CV.

Also mentioned was how automation software is used to select CV's making having keywords more important apparently my CV only scored 53%

I'm not talking about the layout, it's the contents that Tech Mahindra have stolen and then pasted into their own consultants CVs.

not good

Why should I steal someone else CV??? I can work with templates and change the layout

Make sure you put a recent picture of yourself at the top of the CV. Or if sending electronically make it a gif and make it snazzy.

Failing that, use google for some other samples and do it yourself.

Personally I wouldn't pay anyone to 'do my CV' for me - you yourself are best placed to know pertinent systems, methodologies etc... to insert into it.
