Testimonials
"I always believed that I was capable of writing my own CV, though after numerous rejections and not even being short listed for positions for which I knew I was suitable, I realised that the old adage of ‘if you keep doing the same thing you will keep getting the same results’ applied to my job search so I sceptically retained Global CV Solutions New Zealand to write my CV. Having had my own CV assessed as a 4/10 by GCV, my Consultant took the time to research the roles I was applying for and spent considerable time “interviewing” me. The resulting CV and covering letter has a very different feel to my homely version, and one I free proud of. I actually gave them 10/10 for their efforts, both in terms of the content but also in terms of achieving expectations" CM - International CEO & Professional Director - Auckland
"I just wanted to share my amazing news that I got that promotion within the group and I am sure it is partly down to the interview preparation techniques and role playing exercises. I thought I was good at interviews but after talking with you, I realized I was stuck in my approach and still answering questions at a middle management level! Thanks heaps" Sean B - Procurement Manager - Tauranga
"Iwould like to thank your fantastic team for the outstanding work you did on both our resumes. I received an articulate, well-crafted CV that focused on my professional strengths and achievements. I was so impressed with the look and feel of my CV and cover letter, I also sent my husband and Global CV ended up preparing two CV's for him, each targeting his skills to the specifications of the job. My husband was phoned within one day of submitting his CV to the second job for a phone interview. I would not hesitate to use them again and applaud their efficiency and attention to detail!" BS and AS -Tourism Managers - South Island
"The CV is really great, thank you - you have teased out my qualities and presented them in a professional context. Very happy with the end result, thank you" Paul Teutenberg - Senior Project Manager - Waitakere City
"I got a job! I got your CV, sent it to the advertiser the next day and two days later I had an interview and the following Monday I started work. I am so happy! It was the job I had on the top of my wish list and I got a higher salary than expected. This is after nearly 80 unsuccessful applications I have sent out so thank you so much! You gave me the confidence back I really needed to do a good job during the interview. I have already recommended your service to my friends. They shouldn't waste time applying without a proper CV so thank you again and all the best!" Manuela L - Office Manager - Auckland
"After changing career direction and deciding to focus on teaching later in life, I was truly daunted at the prospect of finding work. I can’t thank you enough for the way you integrated my previous work history in to my new teaching CV. You will be pleased to know I got that Teacher Aide position which is a great start. Many thanks again for all your help" Craig T - Teacher - Masterton
"Thank you very much for your hard work and effort in creating my CV for me. I understand this was a difficult one for you and with my unique background and experiences, this did not fit the normal ‘Cookie-Cutter’ CV. You have done a superb job and exceeded my expectations. Originally, I expected that you would just fill-in-the-gaps in a standard template and that it would require much tweaking and massaging to create a comprehensive and accurate account of my work history. The completed CV represents much more than that so many thanks again" Paul Feenstra - CEO Film & Television - Wellington
"Remember me ... the one with the CV that needed the 'slash and burn' active-technique applied to it? Well guess what? I got an INTERVIEW for the job you wrote that very first cover letter and CV for!!! Isn't that truly amazing? On the phone the company said, "We really liked your CV and we want to make a time to meet with you" so that just confirms how they felt about it. Many, many thanks and I have recommended you to 2 other colleagues already. I think you've done an absolutely fantastic job and I feel very hopeful now"
Sharon Summers - Drug and Alcohol Counsellor - Auckland
"What a fantastic CV!! It has brought out all the great points that I required to get the career position I have been wanting. I tried other CV writers and they were totally incompetent. Your CV is very forceful, full of great content and to the point...Many thanks" Murray Doreen - Territory Manager - Manawatu
"The CV is great, I like it; short and concise. All I can say is "Thank God I didn't attempt that myself!". Thank you for your wonderful skill and especially for accepting the short time frame. I am grateful"

"As a new graduate, I had applied for about 12 jobs and did not get one single response. Global CV Solutions did my new CV and cover letter and within a few days I had two interviews from four applications. They also did phone interview coaching and role playing the day before my interview and this was very helpful. The company said there would be panel, buddy and group interviews so I had no idea what to expect and I was very nervous . Global CV predicted virtually all the types of questions they asked including about 20 behavioural questions so I went in feeling well prepared. I feel genuinely lucky to have found Global CV Solutions to help me" Ron Yang - Customer Service Representative - Auckland
"I have just finished reading through the CV and cover letter and think they are both fantastic. There is no need for any corrections and I couldn't have asked for anything better, so thank you very much. I am very happy with the results and will be sure to tell others the wonderful job you have done" Bonnie Hunter - Communications Graduate - Hamilton
