What does 'CV Review' mean?

The CV Review service offers you the chance to have your CV, covering letter and application forms reviewed by an impartial CV Professional with lengthy experience of lawyer and law student recruitment. 

We can review your CV for you to help you stand out from the crowd. We review and advise on CV's for a wide range of people, from partners of large city law firms to law students who are completing their A-levels. 

What do you do with my CV?

We read it through as if we were recruiting for an actual job, providing you with an initial report of what we thought of it. After this, we read it through again, noting in more detail the information you have on the CV. Finally, we go through the details very carefully, considering how you could improve the content, layout, style and tone of the CV. 

How long does it take?

We usually offer a return time of 72 hours, and give you a confirmed time on receipt of your payment. If you are not satisfied with the estimated return time given, we guarantee a full refund. Your statutory rights are not affected by this. 

What if I am not satisfied with your advice?

It may be that you do not like criticism, however positive we have been with it, or that our advice is basically that your CV is very good! In each and every case we guarantee to refund your monies in full if you are not satisfied with the service we have provided. Your statutory rights are not affected.
