CV Guru

At The CV Guru we have had substantial experience in writing CVs for those retiring from the police.

You will have direct contact with your writer who will compile your CV to showcase your numerous transferable skills and significantly increase your chances of gaining an interview.

We understand that you are unlikely to have an existing CV due to completing application forms throughout your career. We will provide you with a form to complete so that we can gain the required information and create your CV.

We will continue to make changes to your CV until you are completely happy with the end result.

 

Unsure of what to do after leaving the Police force?

You may feel that you are too young to retire and you still want to utilise that knowledge and experience in foraging a new career. It can, however, prove daunting as you embark on your next step and you may feel you require some guidance and re-assurance to help you make the best decisions for you and your family. We at CV Guru have collaborated with LeighAnne previously in helping individuals on this journey. LeighAnne brings a wealth of knowledge from over 20 years in the recruitment industry but LeighAnne is also an accredited Career & Confidence coach, as well as an Intuitive Psychology practitioner. She will get to understand you as an individual and work ‘hand in hand’ with you to make sure that you are fully prepared for the next step in your career. Contact us today for an introduction
