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. Anchor writes CVs for mid-career and senior professionals, delivered remotely to clients in South Africa and worldwide.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Included in the Standard and Premium packages. A flexible template in your voice — adaptable to any role without starting from scratch every time.
For first-time job seekers and university students with limited or no formal work history.
Not included: not for CVs involving full-time professional work history or career transitions; no LinkedIn work bundled; no cover letter; single revision round only (not the two rounds included in the standard CV Writing service above).

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

Every CV is written and delivered remotely, which means location changes nothing about the quality of the work — only the market conventions the CV is written to.
Anchor is based in Gqeberha, and works with professionals across the Eastern Cape — automotive, logistics, manufacturing, and the public sector. See local CV writing.
Clients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and Pretoria are worked with in exactly the same way — a short brief, your existing CV, and a written-from-scratch rewrite returned in three business days.
CV conventions differ by market. UK, EU, North American, and Gulf applications each have their own norms around length, personal detail, and structure. Tell me where you are applying and the CV is written to that standard.
