Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Polished CV and friendly service with room for more tailoring

I recently worked with Brendan to update an older CV and bring it in line with over ten years of new experience. He produced a clean, modern layout and was consistently polite, responsive and quick with revisions. The final documents look professional, and he was always willing to make adjustments when I asked.

My background spans both primary teaching and ESL/EFL roles, so there was a lot to integrate. I did find that I needed to provide more detailed direction and tailoring than expected, especially around TESOL content and the specific roles I’m applying for, but Brendan was patient throughout and made the changes promptly. Overall, he delivered a strong foundation that I can now adapt for different applications.

The best CV and amazing experience

Made the decision after being made redundant after 15 years to use Brendan Hope to write a CV, something I would not be an expert in.
The whole process was very professional, Brendan asked for my builds over an arranged teams call and then promptly used the information to re write my CV.
I told Brendan of a position that I would love that I believed my skill set would suit and Brendan gave great guidance and wrote a professional CV accordingly. My first job interview on the back of the CV provided and I got the position and believe Brendan’s help and CV played a massive part in this.
I searched for a while before I decided to use Brendan and am really pleased that I did.
Brendan’s CV writing is in my opinion worth the money and more.!!!! If I could give more stars 🌟 then I would.!

Kenny, thank you so much for this incredible 5-star review and huge congratulations again on securing your new role after redundancy, I’m absolutely delighted for you.

It was a real pleasure working with you to rebuild your CV from the ground up, especially after 15 years in your previous role. My goal with every client is to offer a professional, supportive CV writing service that makes the whole process feel clear and manageable, from our initial Microsoft Teams consultation through to a bespoke, interview-ready CV that genuinely reflects your skills, experience and goals.

I’m so happy to hear your very first job application using the new CV led to an interview and an offer. That’s exactly the outcome I aim for with my CV writing services: helping professionals in the UK, especially those facing redundancy, to present their experience with clarity and confidence so they can move into the next chapter of their career faster.

Thank you again for choosing Brendan Hope CV Writing and for saying the service was worth the money and more, that really means a lot to me as an independent CV writer. If you ever need a CV update, a targeted cover letter or LinkedIn profile optimisation in future, I’ll be very happy to support you again.

Professional, adaptable, and truly invested

Working with Brendan was a refreshing experience. He brings a very human and personal touch to the process while still being incredibly detailed in his work. He acknowledged the unique aspects of my consultancy background and shaped his approach around that, which made the outcome feel authentic and connected. Brendan is not a time watcher and genuinely goes above and beyond for his clients. Since working with him, my interview rate has tripled. A highly professional service that I’d recommend to anyone serious about their next career step.

I went for the Silver Package, and from the first consultation to the final job search meeting, Brendan was incredibly patient, professional, and thorough. He took the time to walk me through every step of the process, making sure I was comfortable and happy with the direction we were going in. What stood out most was how seriously he takes his craft. He genuinely cares about delivering high-quality work that reflects your strengths and goals.
This was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. The final CV and job search guidance I received exceeded my expectations, and I now feel so much more confident navigating the job market. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brendan, he’s truly the best at what he does.

I had my CV written professionally a couple of times before I met Brendan. I was constantly applying for jobs and getting rejections and I told myself something has to change. The CV is the first crucial part of an application process, so many nuances nowadays with ATS, tailoring your CV, etc and I wanted to work with Brendan to bring my CV to life. I wasn't showcasing my skills enough and my current CV didn't reflect at all the industry I wanted to pivot in. Whilst I had ample experience within the industry, there were a lot of transferrable skills I could bring to roles that just weren't standing out on my CV. I worked with Brendan to enhance my CV and he went above and beyond. We achieved this through an in depth consultation, really digging deep into key achievements and highlighting the value I have brought into years of experience. Within a week of receiving my new CV I applied for a role and got shortlisted. Feedback from the recruiter - "out of 200 applicants the hiring manager felt your CV stood out the most and your skills aligned with the role". This was music to my ears because I was struggling to get to an interview stage. Whether the opportunity works out or not, its difficult to be shortlisted in this market. You cannot expect different results if you keep doing the same thing. This is why I cannot recommend working with Brendan enough to create a CV that is a visual representation of your profile. We enhanced my LinkedIn, cover letter and did a job strategy and I am so grateful I invested in finding someone who has the required skills and knowledge to support with that! Thank you Brendan!

Dear Suki

Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful and detailed review. Your kind words mean the world to me, and I’m truly grateful to have had the opportunity to support you.

Congratulations on being shortlisted for the role! In a competitive market, making it to the top of the applicant pool is a remarkable achievement. It's great to hear that your CV stood out among 200 applicants and resonated so well with the hiring manager—it’s a testament to your hard work, accomplishments, and unique skill set.

Working with you to showcase your strengths, highlight your transferable skills, and position you for the opportunities you deserve was a privilege. I'm so pleased that our in-depth consultation and strategy had such a positive impact. You should feel incredibly proud of how far you’ve come and your strides toward your goals.

Regardless of the outcome of this opportunity, you’ve proven your ability to stand out, and I do not doubt that success is just around the corner. Thank you once again for entrusting me with this process and sharing your experience—it inspires me to continue supporting professionals like you in unlocking their full potential.

I wish you all the best for the next steps, and I’ll be there to support you!

Warm regards,

I used Brendan's services shortly after graduating. Prior to reaching out to him, I felt disoriented and lacked direction. However, Brendan skillfully guided me by asking important questions and identifying the crucial information to include in my new CV. Additionally, he adeptly crafted my LinkedIn profile, cover letter, and conducted a job search session during which I acquired invaluable tips. Remarkably, within two weeks of applying for jobs, I secured a position at a highly promising company!
