3 steps to a great resume

  • Step 1: Initial CV review

    Once you've booked the CV writing service, one of our consultants will contact you by email. They will review your current CV, or a rough text document with your education and experience details, if you don't have a CV yet. Then you will get feedback on what needs to change and how the consultant can help you.

  • Step 2: Drafting and feedback

    Your CareerDC consultant will look at your studies, modules, projects, society memberships, part-time work or internship experience and your target roles to build a clear direction for your resume in collaboration with you.

  • Step 3: Final version

    You receive the first draft of your new CV with the opportunity to ask questions and request changes. Once finalised, you have a strong, flexible document ready to use (and edit) for jobs, internships, other work experience placements and graduate roles.
