FAQ

  • A professional CV writer will analyse your career history, understand your personal attributes, and effectively convey your story. However, not every CV or resume writer will be the right fit for you. It’s crucial to find someone who not only complements your style but also understands your industry and can help navigate your career to construct a coherent narrative.

    You are the expert in your career, while a CV writer is the expert in presenting that information in a clear and impactful manner. By collaborating, you can create a CV that truly stands out.

  • With many years of experience in Irish and UK recruitment, I have successfully helped numerous individuals secure their dream jobs, even with the added challenge of a large agency fee attached to my candidates.

    This success was achieved by ensuring that their CVs were written to an impeccable standard and that they were thoroughly prepared for their interviews.

    I take the time to understand your unique story. During our initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to ask questions in real time, and I will provide honest feedback as we work together.

  • In addition to my recruitment experience in Ireland, the UK, and Europe, I hold degrees in science and psychology and have always been passionate about science and technology. I am also a science fantasy author. Consequently, most of the CVs I have worked on are in STEM fields in Ireland, including Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, IT, Engineering, and Technical Sales.

    I prefer a clean and simple look for CVs, emphasizing readability and effectiveness over flashy design. As I often say, I am a CV writer, not a graphic designer. Your CV will be straightforward and easy to read, placing you in a strong position to receive that crucial call back for an interview, which is ultimately the primary purpose of a CV.

    Throughout my career, I have worked with hundreds of candidates worldwide, preparing them for interviews for various roles, including scientists, engineers, horticulturists, accountants, and many more. While interview content rarely changes across sectors, except for technical questions, my techniques are designed to help you succeed regardless of your career path.

    Additionally, I work with emerging leaders, helping them learn how to effectively manage their teams and foster a culture of success within their organizations.

    Important Notes

    • All consultations are conducted remotely from Ireland.

    • Ensure you have a stable internet connection and a quiet place to talk for the best consultation experience.

    • If you are targeting specific roles or jobs, please provide the links to those positions ahead of our consultation.

    To get started, please contact me to schedule your consultation at a convenient time for you.

  • Using a career coach can be a transformative experience. Often, we become so focused on our day-to-day responsibilities that we lose sight of our overarching career goals.

    A career coach can provide two key benefits: they can help you identify your big picture goals and, once these goals are identified, they can hold you accountable for achieving them.

  • I have been working in recruitment for nearly 10 years, collaborating with individuals ranging from graduates to executives. Through my experience with a diverse array of clients, I have realised that while everyone shares similar career goals, the paths they wish to take to achieve them are as varied as grains of sand.

    My goal is to help you identify your unique path to achieving promotions, making career transitions, and guiding you through the process.

    Currently, I am also a psychology student, which allows me to take a more human-centric approach to career coaching. This complements my recruitment experience and enables me to offer a more personalised and empathetic service.
