I am awful at CV formatting, and this was just what I needed to put together a tailored CV that looked professional. Super intuitive, and great designs.

Well worth the money

Can download a free template for word? YES
Even though an IT professional can I work out how Microsoft uses tables and grid lines in word to customise my CV?
NO

It’s a real pain using word to change layouts even though I’ve used it for years, text always jumps around the place and you never know how to adjust each line or place a bit of text into a hidden area half the size of the page.

Do I mind spending £2.50 for a CV that’s put together in half the time and easily uses placeholders to adjust text. ? NO

I knew I was going to have to pay for the CV the moment I started building it I didn’t know how much for. Normally you get to the end and suddenly your subscribing to a years use for £50. Not with this product. Yes you get the option to have longer access but if I were to pay to customise a fresh looking CV at that lower cost per CV then that was a welcome surprise at the end. Not something that was going to annoy me that I’d spent time putting the CV together to spend a fortune and feel angry at the same time.

Great interface and great cost

StandOut CV took the stress out of redeveloping my CV.

I was looking around for CV writers and services to help me redevelop my CV. I have tried rewriting it myself a few times but found the experience challenging.

I looked at Standout and was very happy with the way I was walked through the whole process and the results have been really good.

I highly recommend StandOut CV for those who have a broad range of skills and want to be able to tailor their CV per role.

My CV needed an overhaul

My CV needed an overhaul to compete in a modern jobs marketplace. The range of templates provided by StandOut and the walkthrough in completing my new CV made the process very easy.
