How It Works at Winning CVs

From in-depth consultation to a polished CV, cover letter or LinkedIn profile - every step built around you and designed to get you hired.

Winning CVs is an all-encompassing CV service capable of managing all situations, sectors and career paths. We achieve continual success for diverse clients by using overarching best-practice philosophies and processes combined with adaptive strategies.

Whatever challenges your career path / CV presents, there will be solid strategies and ways around them. Where there's a will, there's a way. To summarise (and giving the game away somewhat!) we maximise (or elevate the position of) positive/relevant information and minimise/reduce/relegate the not so positive or relevant.

The Consultation & Pricing Structure

Throughout the process from consultation (90-130 minutes depending on the person) through to post-delivery changes, Becky seeks to find the best ways to extract, present and highlight your optimal, relevant information, thinking strategically for the audiences that may comprise HR, managing directors and ATS.

In the consultation we explore everything needed - including current situation, whether to get a cover letter and/or LinkedIn, queries/quandaries, CV focus, all or most of your roles to date, achievements, skills, traits and uniqueness. We ask for your existing CV beforehand if you have one, as well as any job specs you might have your eye on - and prepare beforehand.

Pricing depends on your total working experience past the age of 19/20. There can be some flexibility on pricing if for example you have much experience but all in very junior or similar roles, and we can discuss this / agree in the intro call. We will devise a price that aligns with the time likely to be spent on it all.

The price brackets exist for sensible reasons: It's important to understand who and what is being written about in order to essentially 'nail' the top profile - the most important part, as well as the page one focussed section we create, and there will be transferrable skills and achievements driving key themes throughout your CV.

Therefore, early decision-making, education and experiences will be covered (we try to keep that part relatively brief); thought is put in / notes taken throughout (can be three-seven pages in total to sift through, cogitate and rework); and generally the more experience someone has in whatever type of role, the more senior and achievement-laden the later roles are - which all means more time taken on the job!

How to Get Started

There are a couple of ways - if you email, you will receive a swift response with options of either booking in a free intro call to discuss your situation or going straight in to book the service.

If jumping straight in, please remember that the service that covers all your working experience past the age of 19/20 is likely the right one. We may seek to clarify the correct service at that point, or this will be established once we've spoken / seen your existing CV / gone through the consultation. It could be less expensive than originally surmised and we'll address that when it becomes obvious.

To book the consultation and rewrite in, we will need to book in a day and time (usually one to three weeks in advance), and a deposit is required (usually £100) - payment details are provided in that first email.

What Happens Next?

Once that is paid, you are sent a consultation preparation email which does as it says on the tin - help you prepare! If you don't have time, that's fine - it's not mandatory.

Becky will call you on the phone or WhatsApp (Zoom/Teams are also options) at the time we have agreed, and we have our consultation. Right at the end of the consultation you will be asked to pay the rest of the fee, ideally within 24 hours and definitely before writing the CV.

You will usually receive the CV within four to six working days after the consultation, however there is a possibility of an expedited delivery if agreed on early.

Most people do find this one of - if not the best - decisions they ever made.

It's the full service that makes all the difference, such as the post-delivery changes conversation in which we address imperfections and discuss ideas and wording compromises to create a slick, accurate and worthy document. This is an integral part of the service. It maintains the positive relationship, reduces frustration and is much more efficient and effective than email changes, which we don't do. It just works!

Most CV writing services either do not provide a consultation at all, or if they do then it's far less all-encompassing. This can only result in a document that doesn't immediately feel like you! Winning CVs enjoys getting it right, or almost right, first time around. We love to reflect you, your skills, your experience and the diverse ways in which you add value.

Added Benefits: Interview Preparation & Counselling

The consultation can serve as a wonderful tool in both interview preparation and careers counselling, including cheering you up if you're in a bit of a slump! Talking is always good.

These sessions often transform the way clients see themselves, as well as increasing clarity on where you are now, where you want to be in future, and the path to get there.

Just let Becky know if you're interested in these facets and we'll factor it in in the consultation - on top of the standard CV writing service, free of charge.

The career counselling part can be drawing from Becky's experience speaking to and writing for thousands of clients (many in similar situations or at different stages on similar career paths) to provide actual advice on next steps, identifying career paths, or just talking through all your working experiences.

People usually find it highly beneficial doing just that, often realising for the first time the sheer extent of the value they've brought their roles, and subsequently being much more capable of articulating key points in interviews.

Hop to Careers Counsellor or Interview Preparation and let Becky know if you're interested in these facets. We can add an extra 30-60 minutes to the consultation at a fee of £30 per 30 minutes, to ensure we are more relaxed and able to serve as an effective reflection point for you.

Two-Page CVs

The HR and CV writing sectors in the main champion two pages and no more, to help those poor recruiters etc when they have hundreds of CVs to look through - and for other reasons!

Thus, our service is two pages (one for young clients / those with little experience). This is usually not easy due to the calibre of clients we have coming through our doors, however, history shows that it will be a better document.

Becky is used to working for very high-level, successful individuals and this approach not only takes these into account but is particularly for those clients.

Often people have fantastic memories and achievements from 15, 20, 30 or even 40 years ago - Becky will uncover these (either specifics or general essence) and use them - that's her job and she takes it very seriously.

The key rule is ensuring every detail you include is relevant to the job application. Your cover letter can also be used to complement your CV and provide extra information that doesn't fit on your two-page CV.

If you believe your CV may be better on three or more pages, we suggest that you do take the above advice, look into this more closely, or we speak about it - as we need to be on the same page prior to beginning the process...

All 5-star Trustpilot reviews in 2025 & 2026:

Winning CV's helped me get past AI CV Scanning! WCV's helped me set up my CV - I had a feeling the company wasn't doing well - so wanted to be ready. Roughly 3 weeks later it happened. Redundant. I could immediately start applying with my new CV. I immediately noticed good responses - a lot personally written which meant that my CV had got in front of someone, even from large Blue Chips with over 100 applications. Becky's version really punched through - and at interviews some of the elements pulled out from career and placed front and centre were mentioned. My CV seemed to be getting through and past AI and I can only put that down to Becky and the approach taken to laying out my CV. I cannot recommend Winning CV's services enough. Thanks!

★★★★★

An excellent service. Becky was great & I felt she took the time to really understand my background, skills & achievements to build a great CV. I was struggling to get past the sift stage before, but now with Becky's advice & her re-write of my CV, I have a number of interviews for opportunities that I am excited to interview for.

★★★★★

Phenomenal CV writer. I was struggling to condense 20 years of experience into two pages. Becky didn't just manage to do this, she created something incredible. She has this innate ability to delve deep into your professional self to create a jaw-dropping CV, LinkedIn profile and covering letter. Looking forward to putting it all to the test in the New Year. Thanks, Becky

★★★★★

Becky is a CV wizardess! I needed help summarising a 20+ year career into two pages. Becky took the time to really understand my experience and pulled out the most important elements into an impressive summary that I could never have achieved on my own (or using AI tools - believe me, I tried!!!). It's given me a new sense of confidence, as I'd actually forgotten about many of my achievements, and Becky was able to draw them out through a thorough discovery process. I now feel ready to take on the next stage of my career at director or executive level - something I'd previously doubted my ability to do. Becky also overhauled my LinkedIn profile, which I'd never really taken the time to develop properly, and the engagement on my posts and profile has skyrocketed overnight. I've also already had conversations with recruiters who contacted me directly as a result of my LinkedIn profile.

★★★★★

Engineering CV - 25 years experience. I found Becky extremely helpful and it worked! Job interview and offer from the first application. Incredibly proud of my CV, thank you Becky.

★★★★★

Becky was great to work with and was thorough with her approach. She took the time to truly understand my diverse career history to strategically highlight the most relevant achievements and skills. Becky did this 2 different CV versions, targeted to 2 roles types.

★★★★★

Brilliant Process and End Result. The whole process with Becky was a real pleasure, it was executed perfectly from initial call to final document. Each step was incredibly thorough and well thought through. Guiding me expertly through what she needed, she produced an end result that was absolutely spot on and I would absolutely recommend her to those looking to create a CV they can genuinely be proud of.

★★★★★

My experience has been wholly positive. Based on an in-depth discussion session, my resulting CV is a real step forward. Clearly demonstrating my strengths, achievements and potential. This is a great service that I will relying on future and that I genuinely recommend to others.
