'My old CV wasn't doing me justice, so I went to a professional - and I got the job'

Bronwyn Kunhardt, 32, is head of citizenship and diversity at Microsoft UK. She lives in Suffolk with her husband, David Williams, a film editor, and their two children, Olivia, four, and two-year-old Georgia. She used a professional CV preparation service, Sharp CV, to help her when she applied for her present job.

"I had worked for Microsoft for six years when this job opportunity came up. I re-read my old CV and I did not think that I was doing myself justice on paper. I didn't have much time to turn it around so I went on the internet to find a professional. I had to pay £375 for the telephone service within 48 hours, but I was really glad I did. I gave it to myself as part of my bonus treat.

"Lydia Holder at Sharp CV spent a lot of time listening to me telling her what I had done. She pulled out the relevant bits and made sense of my achievements. She is very good at reading between the lines. She also helped me to prepare for the interview. It really made me think about my strengths and what I had managed to deliver in my job. A lot of the vocabulary she gave me I used in my interview, word for word.
"I got the job so I suppose you could say that it was one of the best investments I ever made."

"As an interviewer myself, I now recognise the professionally written CVs. It impresses me that someone has shown the initiative to ask a professional for help. It makes it much easier for me to judge a candidate if the information is clear and concise. If your CV is really good, it gives you an extra edge."
