CV & Personal Statement Help

CVs are one of the few documents where the rules genuinely differ by country, and where following the wrong country's convention gets you filtered out before a human reads it.

Short answer

What is cv & personal statement help?

A UK CV is two pages maximum, has no photograph, no date of birth and no marital status, and leads with a four-line personal profile followed by experience in reverse chronological order with quantified achievements. This differs from a US resume (one page) and from the EU-style CV that does include a photo.

What you get

Included in every engagement

  • Country-correct format — UK CV, US resume, Canadian and Australian conventions all differ
  • Achievement rewriting: from duty statements to quantified outcomes
  • ATS-safe formatting so parsers actually read your file
  • University personal statement structure for UCAS and postgraduate applications
  • Character and academic reference letter structure
  • Interview preparation mapped to the role specification

How it works

The process

  1. Target

    One CV per role type. A generic CV is a weak CV.

  2. Quantify

    Every bullet gets a number, a scale or an outcome.

  3. Format

    Country convention plus ATS parsing safety.

  4. Review

    A recruiter-perspective read of the first six seconds.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a UK CV be?
Two pages for most roles. One page for early-career applicants with limited experience. Academic CVs are the exception and can run much longer.
Should I put a photo on my CV?
Not in the UK, US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand — it invites discrimination claims and many employers discard CVs with photos. Photos are conventional in much of continental Europe.
How do I write a character reference?
State your relationship to the person and how long you have known them, give two or three specific evidenced examples of the relevant quality, state your recommendation plainly, and provide contact details. Keep it to one page.
