HR types are concerned with the hiring process (putting it nicely – and why you wouldn’t want an HR person to write your CV). HR people have veto power but they don’t make decisions to hire – only to exclude. Make sure your CV meets the job spec and doesn’t have any info that might mark you as high risk (such as big unexplained gaps in your career history).

Make sure your CV features results and achievements that will be understood by the hiring manager.

Hiring a professional CV writer is a worthwhile investment. You have probably invested a lot of time and money in education and training, so the cost of a professional CV is trivial in comparison, yet may have a much greater impact on your career success and remuneration.
