Questions We Hear Often

  • A lot of strong professionals are not struggling because they lack experience. The issue is often how clearly that experience translates to recruiters and hiring managers.

    Most hiring environments are overloaded. Recruiters and hiring managers are filtering quickly, making assumptions fast and deciding within seconds whether a profile feels aligned, senior enough or commercially relevant.

    If your CV reads more like a list of responsibilities than a clear story about impact, direction and value, it becomes much harder to stand out even with strong experience underneath.

  • A CV review is a structured recruiter-side assessment of your existing CV. We identify positioning gaps, clarity issues, missed strengths and areas likely reducing interview traction.

    A CV rewrite goes further. We rebuild the document strategically to improve how your experience is understood in the market, including structure, messaging, positioning and commercial impact.

    The review is designed to diagnose the problem clearly before deciding whether a rewrite is needed.

  • AI can help with formatting and wording, but most AI-generated CVs still sound generic because they lack real hiring context.

    One of the biggest issues we see is that AI tends to produce polished descriptions without properly understanding positioning, market perception, seniority signals or what recruiters are actually filtering for.

    The problem is rarely just grammar. It is whether your profile immediately makes sense to the people reviewing it.

  • Usually much faster than people expect.

    In high-volume hiring environments, first impressions are often formed within the first 10 to 15 seconds. Recruiters are quickly scanning for role alignment, level, industry relevance, credibility and signs of impact.

    That does not mean your CV is only read for 10 seconds overall. It means the decision to continue reading often happens very quickly.

  • Yes.

    LinkedIn is often treated as your “master profile” because recruiters, hiring managers and search tools regularly use it alongside your CV.

    We help improve profile positioning, headline clarity, About sections, experience presentation and overall market alignment so your profile supports the direction you are targeting.

  • Yes. We regularly support professionals targeting opportunities across the UK, Europe, UAE, USA and wider international markets.

    Different regions and hiring environments often respond to different positioning styles, so part of the process is making sure your profile aligns properly with the type of roles and markets you are aiming for.

  • No legitimate service can guarantee interviews or job offers.

    Hiring outcomes depend on multiple factors including market conditions, competition, timing, industry demand and role fit.

    What we focus on is improving how clearly and competitively your experience translates in the market so you give yourself a stronger chance of gaining traction.

  • The Career Edit is built from a recruiter and hiring-side perspective rather than a generic writing approach.

    We focus heavily on positioning, clarity and market perception. The goal is not simply to make a CV “look better”, but to improve how quickly your value is understood by recruiters and hiring managers in crowded hiring environments.

  • Once you purchase a review or rewrite, you will be asked to send your current CV along with any relevant target roles or career direction information.

    From there, we review your profile from a recruiter and hiring-side perspective, identifying positioning gaps, clarity issues and opportunities to strengthen market alignment.

    Most reviews are delivered within 48 hours unless otherwise agreed.
