What does a CV Consultant do?

Many people ask us what on earth a CV Consultant is? Many people asked us that question, and we thought it may be nice too to talk about it from our viewpoint.

When someone sends in his CV, the first thing a C.V Consultant does is to evaluate the CV throughly. The consultant checks through the CV to make sure that every essential detail is there. Are the personal particulars complete? Did the applicant forget to write an Executive Summary? Any missing information has to be requested from the client. Next the consultant or resume writer (as some call them) checks the CV for grammatical and other language errors that may compromise an application. Afterwhich the CV is typed out with all the information included and a draft forwarded to the client.

On average, it seems that the CV writer can takeĀ about 4 hours working one each CV. But of course the time taken depends on the complexity of the CV. For example, an executive with many years of experience would probably have a much longer and complex CV compared to a fresh graduate looking for a job.
