CURRICULUM VITAE (CV) REVIEW SERVICES
Outshine the Competition
Do you need to craft a compelling curriculum vitae (CV) or resume that showcases your achievements and potential? That’s what you’ll get with our CV review services. We specialize in working with aspiring, current, and recently graduated master’s and doctoral students to develop CVs, resumes, and cover letters that maximize their competitiveness in today’s academic and professional environment.
Why work with us?
Because we only work with people like you. We leverage a decade of coaching graduate students throughout every step of their journey to reach their dreams. From applying to grad school to transitioning into your chosen career, we know what admissions committees, funding organizations, and hiring panels are looking for in their applicants. We bring that perspective to critically review your materials and help you write a stellar CV, resume, and/or cover letter.
Our Services
Our CV and cover letter review services are tailored to meet your needs. We provide individualized attention and feedback tailored to your goals and the application requirements. Unlike resume and CV writing mills, we accept a limited number of clients at a time to ensure you get the most out of your work with us. We do not subcontract our services to others and do not rely on AI to generate feedback for your CV, resume, or cover letter. Every CV receives an individual evaluation against the admissions, funding, or hiring criteria to ensure the most competitive application possible.
