While AI may be good at synthesizing and repackaging existing information, the human writer still has the edge when it comes to providing fresh perspectives, emotional intelligence, and an understanding of what is important and worth further exploration.
The added value of real human input in the CV writing process cannot be underestimated. Preparing a new CV is not simply about enlisting AI to update your existing CV with different words to beat the ATS. It is about crafting something with the right words, words with real impact and thought behind them that will effectively cut through the recruitment noise.
With 18 years’ experience, Rachel Vincent, our associate CV writer, will partner, collaborate, and co-create with you. Rachel will shine a light on those areas where your existing CV is underperforming, while helping you to think in new and different ways about your experience. She will write a CV that strongly aligns your offering with future opportunities, presenting you as a strong contender and ensuring the inclusion of the key information demanded by recruiters and their systems.
Whereas AI can’t apply judgment to your specific context to decide what matters, Rachel works with you to uncover the good stuff when you’re too close to the action to see what’s relevant, important, or impressive. She provides clarity and objectivity, quizzing and challenging you and digging down to capture the best bits. She’ll also make suggestions for new content and approaches that will differentiate you in a crowded job market.
“Rachel was easily able to pull out professional experiences and achievements that I hadn’t thought to include and really made them shine. I have no doubt that working with her directly benefited my job search, and I noticed an almost immediate difference in terms of interview requests once I had begun sending out the updated CV.”
EDI Policy & Programme Specialist
Working closely with you over several draft stages, it’s a truly consultative process, with plenty of opportunities for discussion and feedback. Rachel will prompt and encourage you to analyse your career and to apply a recruiter’s lens to your skills and achievements in a way you may never have done before.
Rachel worked with me over many weeks to collect and organise my disparate sources of information into a coherent and well-structured document. Rachel was good at communicating and questioning me to discover my needs and requirements in an iterative way to develop the final output. I was delighted with the results.

She’ll then reframe and articulate your experience, so it clearly evidences the value and impact of your involvement and showcases your talent and skills to effectively position you for that next opportunity.
“I didn’t just receive help in “writing my CV”. Rachel provided me with diligent feedback and asked important questions about my career that helped me highlight the best qualities on my CV. Rachel has given me a new perspective on my career journey – an invaluable lesson that I can apply again and again.”
Strategic Communications Professional
At the end of the process, you’ll have a CV that feels authentic to you, not some “one-size-fits-all” cookie cutter CV, but one you can readily take ownership of, having been active in the building of your story.
Whether it’s a sideways move, step-up, career pivot, workplace return, or simply more of the same, the resulting CV gets you noticed. Outcome focused (and keyword rich) bullet points give future employers an exciting snapshot of what you’ll be able to do for them, while providing you with a springboard to confidently unpack the bigger story at interview.
Maybe you’re used to relying on your networks to secure next roles and now find yourself having to jump through recruitment hoops and think about a CV, perhaps for the first time, to succeed in a very different and difficult job market. If you’re struggling to know what to say or how to say it, overwhelmed by AI or drowning in a sea of AI generated CV iterations, and looking for a trusted human ally to encourage and support you, contact Rachel now to arrange a conversation.
“Rachel is my secret career weapon – I’ve recommended her to many, many people because her work gets results and is incredibly good value. I tell people, `If you’re going to make any single investment in your career profile, ask Rachel to give your CV a make-over’. She is more than a wordsmith, she patiently helps you see the work you’ve done in a more objective and positive light and presents that experience to the world in a credible, clear and honest way.” Senior Cultural Sector Leader
