Choosing professional CV companies guide - Price

As mentioned on the previous page, the quality of professional CV companies varies greatly from company to company, some companies can dramatically improve your job prospects, whereas others can help to some (albeit considerably less) degree.

Price is by no means a definitive indicator (because the most expensive companies are not the best), however, it is true to say that as a general rule of thumb, in CV writing, just as in other sectors, you get what you pay for, and if you buy your CV on the cheap then you should not expected to be as good as one which costs the going rate. The chances are it won't.

As a general rule, the best professional CV companies all charge in excess of £100-200 + VAT per CV, and some companies charge considerably more.

Yes, there are some companies which charge as little as £50 for a CV, but you get what you pay for and if you buy a cheap CV then don't expect it to be written by a talented, experienced writer, and don't expect the writer to spend very long on it either.
