Professional CV Writing
Helping job seekers land more interviews, quicker!
Hi, I am Claire Lyon and I have been a leading voice in this industry since 2012! I started this company following a career break raising my family, a career which spanned over 20-years in the recruitment/HR and business space, PCVW – Professional CV Writing was formed because the job search process is tough, I wanted to make it easier.
Having been on both sides of the interview desk, hiring for some of the most prestigious names in industry, I felt it was time to use my knowledge and experience to support those struggling with their own job search – whether that’s because they didn’t have the time to write their own CV, or they didn’t know where to start!
Job searching shouldn’t be as tough as it is, and this is where I wanted to help – it doesn’t matter how high up the ladder you are, you still need to make an impression, and there is nothing more disheartening than getting silence every time you hit submit, especially when it doesn’t have to be this way!
If you would like to find out what it is like to work with me and my team, then get in touch and see if we are a good fit! Why not schedule a call with me Claire’s Calendar
It would be great to work with you, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Case Studies
We have helped over 10,000 professionals find their next role, dream career moves or transition into a whole new world – many of our clients came to us because they were struggling to get responses to their applications, knowing they had the right experience and skillset but lacking in being able to showcase it in a way that cut through the noise and grabbed the recruiters attention, some simply didn’t have the time to write their CV themselves, and others who just didn’t know where to start!
‘This isn’t just a rewrite your CV service, it is a much more bespoke, tailored and personalised service which produces incredible results’
Sarah was open to different sectors and sought an Operations Head of / Director role and her search was having minimal return, mainly as she was looking for a home-based role, albeit willing to do some travel once or twice a month; with our help she was able to showcase her true value as a remote worker in a high-level position…
‘If anyone I knows needs a CV written then I would have no hesitation in recommending their services’
Andy has been a valued client of ours for a few years now, and recently he had his CV updated with the role he secured after using our services the first time; Andy said he found that after having his CV written that it certainly helped him get his foot in the door, and we were the first people he thought of when he wanted to start a new search…
‘Highly recommend this company for CV writing, but more importantly on the engagement, interaction and counsel’
Gareth contacted us and had a couple of conversations before deciding to proceed, he hadn’t used this type of service and was wary, which we totally understood; so after chatting with Claire he went ahead and, we are pleased to say, he was very happy he did – his CV hit the spot and he went on to have his profile and bio written for him by too…
Why Work With Us?
Why do you charge more than other CV Writing companies?
• The CV Writing sector is vast, there are many different types of services and there are many different price levels; we are not a cheap end service, but we are also not the most expensive either – our expertise has been derived from many years’ experiences of operating in and working for Senior/Executive level candidates across recruitment, HR and business sectors; in short, we deliver a bespoke, 1-2-1 service level that includes unlimited consultation time, and support which doesn’t end once your CV is completed
• We don’t outsource your CV to an offshore location, hide behind a dashboard, or use AI/ChatGPT/templates to write your CV – we use our experience and knowledge to support you every step of the way, because we want to help you get your next career move, and the best way to achieve that is by working with someone who knows how to present you the way you should be; your investment into your CV is an investment into your career and future progression, we invest many hours of our time into each project so you don’t have to, and It’s what we do every day!
We consult with every client by telephone, Zoom, WhatsApp, Teams or Skype, whether you need one service or multiple
• We understand the importance of holding a consultation with every client, this enables us to gain a thorough insight into your objectives, background, skills, expertise and accomplishments – if we didn’t speak with you, we wouldn’t know anything about you!
• Our consultations are held via telephone or online calling platforms of choice, they are informal in delivery but that encourages exploration of all the key elements we require to prepare your new documents
What is the standard turnaround time?
• Once we receive your order, we will ask you a few introductory questions so that we can match you with your CV Consultant; your Consultant will book a date/time for a call based consultation, and your CV will be written within 5-working days, sometimes sooner!
• If you have an urgent deadline then get in touch with us first so we can ascertain availability to ensure our service level is not hindered to achieve your timeline – there may be an additional charge for express services as we may have to juggle pre-existing commitments and work out of hours
We do not place any limitations on consultation length, number of revisions or response time
• We understand that life does not always enable a response within 24-hours, 3-days or even 1-week so we don’t force this limitation on our clients, we may prompt you if we don’t hear from you, but we ensure we give you the time to reflect and review your new documents
• We don’t always capture everything in one consultation call, you may not have all the information we need to hand, so the process may take one, two or even three revisions, but we don’t complete your documents until you tell us they are perfect!
Do you have experience in my sector and what I do?
• In short, yes we do – our team have experience in, and worked with professionals across most industries and sectors, our speciality is writing about your speciality – we will match you with a writer who has knowledge and understanding of your specific industry and career level!

• We promise to work with you until your documents are perfect, we mostly achieve this within one or two drafts, but on occasions this can be a longer process if we require more information; we do not stop service part-way through
• The real test of your documents is in application, if you find your job search is not progressing as it should then let us know, we can then compare your CV against the specific jobs being applied for and carry out any changes necessary to ensure you have a successful outcome

We do not use generic templates, phrases or clichés in any documents
• Fed up with seeing the same style of CV, overused and cliché statements, well so are we, which is why we don’t include them; we find out about you as an individual, about your objectives, experience, skills and accomplishments so you are never stereotypical of someone else’s CV
• Recruiters will identify with commonly used templates, general phrases and clichés within a CV, and this may be enough to discourage them from taking your application further, so please don’t use them
