Written from the
recruiter's side of the table.

Twenty-two people apply for every role. A CV that opens with tenure gets skipped. A CV that opens with capability gets read. There is a difference — and it is learnable.

What we deliver

A CV built to compete.
Every element counts.

01

Professional summary

Capability-first. Three to four lines that tell a recruiter exactly what you deliver — before they read a single role. Not a career objective. Not a personal statement. A positioning statement.

02

Achievement-led experience

Every role rewritten using the STAR framework. What you did, the action you took, and the result you produced. Numbers where they exist. Impact where they don't.

03

ATS keyword optimisation

75% of CVs are filtered before a human reads them. We identify the keywords your target roles require and build them into your CV naturally — so you clear the filter and impress the reader.

04

Clean, professional formatting

ATS-safe layout. No tables, no graphics, no text boxes that break automated parsing. Delivered as a Word document you can edit and a PDF you can submit immediately.

05

Skills and competencies

Curated to match the roles you are targeting. Organised by category. Positioned to pass keyword filters without looking like a list written for a machine.

06

Cover letter template

Included in the Standard and Premium packages. A flexible template in your voice — adaptable to any role without starting from scratch every time.

How it works

You send what
you have.

No templates to fill in. No lengthy questionnaires. Send me your current CV and tell me the kinds of roles you are targeting. I take it from there.

You receive a fully rewritten document — ready to submit, with a short note explaining every decision made.

01

Submit the enquiry form below

Tell me which package interests you, what roles you are targeting, and attach or paste your current CV. That's all I need to start.

02

I review and confirm

I'll confirm receipt within one business day and let you know if I have any clarifying questions before I begin writing.

03

I write — you review

You receive a fully rewritten CV as a Word document and PDF, with a brief explanation of the positioning decisions behind the key changes.

04

You apply with confidence

Submit to roles knowing your CV is working as hard as you do. Revisions included — we keep going until it's right.

You paid an expert and got back something you could have written yourself. That is the core wound Anchor exists to fix.

Recruiter-side knowledge

22 years working inside professional environments — understanding exactly what hiring managers look for and what makes them stop reading.

CELTA-Certified writing

Every word chosen for precision and clarity. Not impressive-sounding language — language that communicates and converts.

Questions

What people
usually ask.

Any question not answered here — include it in the enquiry form and I'll address it directly.

Do I need to send you my existing CV?
Yes — it gives me the raw material: your history, your roles, your achievements. Even if your current CV is very basic, it tells me what I need to know. If you don't have one at all, tell me in the form and we'll work from scratch.
What format will I receive the CV in?
Word document (.docx) and PDF. The Word version is yours to edit as your career develops. The PDF is ready to attach to applications immediately. Both are ATS-safe — no tables, no graphics, no formatting that breaks automated parsing.
Does this work for international applications?
Yes. CV conventions vary by country and I'll ask you where you're applying. UK, European, North American, and Gulf market formats all have different norms — I work to the standard expected in your target market.
How long does delivery take?
Essential and Complete packages are delivered within 3 business days of receiving your current CV and payment. The Authority package, which includes a strategy session, takes up to 5 business days. Urgent turnaround is available — mention it in the form.
What if I want changes after delivery?
Every package includes at least one round of revisions. I explain every decision in the delivery note, so if something doesn't feel right, we discuss it and I revise. The goal is a document you're confident to submit — not one I think sounds impressive.
