What is “a CV”? Back To Top
The simplest dictionary definition says a CV (or ‘Curriculum Vitae’) is “a summary of your academic and work history”.
In a nutshell, your curriculum vitae (or, as it’s commonly known, “CV”) or resume is a summarised reflection of you. Meaning “course of life” in Latin, the CV represents your professional and, sometimes, personal achievements; consequently, when someone looks at your CV, he or she should be able to get a clear indication of your qualifications before ever meeting you.
We see your CV as your personal sales brochure, one which should be carefully crafted to ensure you have the best possible chance of getting the job you want.
What is the difference between a CV and a resume? Back To Top
Basically the primary differences between a resume and curriculum vitae (CV) are the length, what is included and what each is used for. A resume is a one or two page summary of your skills, experience and education. While a resume is brief and concise – no more than a page or two, a Curriculum Vitae is a longer (at least two page) and more detailed synopsis.
A Curriculum Vitae includes a summary of your educational and academic backgrounds as well as teaching and research experience, publications, presentations, awards, honors, affiliations and other details. Resumes are popular in America while in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, or Asia, employers expect to receive a curriculum vitae.

How does the service works Back To Top
Our ordering process is very simple and straightforward. We believe it is important to personalise the request of anyone using our services.
When you place your order, you can either (a) provide a copy of your existing CV or (b) simply complete our short application form to give us the information we need to prepare your new CV.
Once we receive your order, we will not take payment from you until we are sure we know what you require. Your order will be allocated to one of our consultants, according to which profession you’re in and the level you’ve reached. After payment, your consultant will prepare a draft version of your new CV, before emailing or phoning you if necessary to clarify any minor points or to build up on any weaker areas. Just to get it absolutely right before we send the draft out for your approval.
