The CV Preparation service offers you the chance to have your CV prepared by an impartial professional recruitment consultant and solicitor with lengthy experience of lawyer and law student recruitment.
You often see advertisements for CV preparation from secretarial agencies, typing pools and other such services. Whilst this is a good way to get your CV written up, it does not give you the edge when applying for positions, as these services are unable to offer you specialist advice on the formation and content of your CV.
We are specialist solicitor recruitment consultants, operated and owned by solicitors. Ten-Percent.co.uk is a specialist online legal recruitment consultancy. We see many hundreds of CV's each week, some good, some dreadful. We recruit on behalf of firms worldwide, and are also involved in active search and selection.
We can prepare your CV for you to help you stand out from the crowd. We have prepared CV's for a wide range of people, from partners of large city law firms to law students who are completing their A-levels.
How does the service work?You pay for the service online using our secure online facilities (there are also provisions to pay by telephone or by post). We send you an internet link to our CV preparation pages, where you complete an online questionnaire. We prepare a CV for you in draft form, together with relevant careers advice. You can also send us your Covering Letter to review, as well as up to 2 application forms.
How long does it take?We guarantee a return time once you have made payment, which is usually within 5 working days. This depends on our daily caseload.
What does it cost?£154.99 inclusive of VAT.
What if I am not satisfied with the CV?In each and every case we guarantee to refund your monies in full if you are not satisfied with the CV we have provided. Your statutory rights are not affected. Click here for our terms and conditions.
How do I send you my details for the CV to be prepared?Online form submission or via email. We do not offer the service by post or fax.
