why many cvs fail ...
if your cv is failing most people think it can be rectified by just making it look more presentable. however, presentation is just the tip of the iceberg and a lot more is usually to blame. for example, one, some or most of the following may apply;

 the first impressions aren't professional
it is unappealing in terms of presentation
it is unbalanced or one-dimentional
 it is too long and not enticing enough to read
it is too cluttered
it is sending out mixed messages
it isn't relevant enough to the target job
 it is unfocused
 it is too passive
 it has mistakes or poor grammar
it isn't selling all your right skills
 you haven't addressed the employers' needs
 it is too passive
it's just not as good as the competition

so while presentation and format is important, it is usually the content and how effectively you sell yourself and address the employer's requirements which is often pivotal.

this is far easier said than done which is why people come to us to not only do it properly, but also give them the advantage over their competitors
