CV / Resume Writing
Expert CV and resume writing for senior executives who want to land the roles they deserve
Your CV or resume is working against you in ways you probably don't realise. ATS systems, six-second readability tests, generic AI output that looks like everyone else's; the barriers have never been higher. We've spent two decades immersed in this process and we know exactly what gets you seen, shortlisted and hired.
“The difference between the role you want and the role you get often comes down to a single document. Make sure yours is exceptional.”

Our process
Step 1: Strategy and positioning
A career strategy session with Devin is included as part of every writing engagement. We agree your target roles, your narrative and your value proposition before a word is written. The document follows the strategy, not the other way around.
Step 2: Deep dive consultation
For all writing work, the career strategy session is extended to 90-120 minutes to cover your career, your achievements and your targets. As we work through your career, patterns emerge, strengths crystallise and a picture forms of who you are and what you can offer. Some clients experience epiphanies, a moment where everything clicks into place. You'll leave with a clearer sense of your own value than when you arrived.
Step 3: First draft
Delivered within four business days. Written from scratch around your career, not dropped onto a template. All written by one of the best in the business, with nothing delegated and no generic cliches or AI slop.
Step 4: Guaranteed review process
As many iterations as the work needs; we get the right words in the right order. A guarantee of excellence that has given us way over 99% customer satisfaction. We don't stop until you're completely happy.
Benefits
Self-awareness & confidence
The consultation process does more than produce raw material. It helps you understand your own strengths, articulate your value and approach the search with a confidence that comes from genuinely knowing what you bring to the table. Many clients tell us it's the most useful career conversation they've ever had.
Prize-winning writing
Your CV or resume will have TORI-recognised writing at a standard most CV writers never reach. Devin's background as an American Literature graduate, prize-winning student, advertising copywriter and English teacher gives his writing a quality that sets it apart from the competition, as well as AI.
A unique, distinctive narrative
You'll have a unique value proposition that resonates with people at all stages of the hiring process, from first stage researchers to senior recruiters and board level peers. You'll be clearly differentiated from the toughest competitors on strong shortlists.
A high-ROI investment where it matters most
Having a great CV or resume is the single most effective way of maximizing the impact of your job search. Nothing is more important to a job search. It reaches every decision-maker before you do then prompts calls, attracts interviews, primes conversations and determines how people feel before they meet you. Getting it right should be the engine of your job search; nothing else works as hard or as consistently on your behalf.
“Your next move should be your best. Let's make sure the right people agree.”

Frequenly asked questions
What's the process for writing services?
We start with a brief questionnaire and review any existing materials. We then schedule a consultation, usually 90 to 120 minutes, occasionally longer. We take as long as it takes, no restrictions. First draft follows within four business days, then a collaborative review process with as many rounds as the work needs.
How much does this cost?
We discuss pricing on the discovery call once we understand your requirements, seniority, role complexity and timeline. We don't publish fixed prices because every engagement is different and because a brief conversation ensures it's the right fit from both sides.
What is your turnaround time?
Standard turnaround is four business days from completion of the consultation. Express options of 24 or 48 hours are available for urgent deadlines — please mention this when you book.
Is coaching included with the writing service?
Coaching is central to everything we do, not an add-on. The consultation goes well beyond gathering information. We explore your strengths, your narrative, your differentiation and your targets. Many clients describe it as the most useful career conversation they've ever had.
Why Vantage Point rather than a competitor?
Two decades as a recruiter, writer and coach gives Devin an understanding of this process that most competitors simply don't have. Most writers haven't recruited and vice versa, plus his body of work is huge. He's worked with thousands of senior executives including several hundred CFOs, CMOs, CTOs and CHROs. Nothing is delegated. Your work is handled personally, start to finish, unlike larger firms where a founder is the face but junior writers do the work.
What about using AI to write my CV?
AI raises the floor but not the ceiling and it certainly doesn't raise your game to the highest levels. An AI document will likely have gaps, hallucinations and generic phrasing. It will look like every other AI document, and to a practiced eye, it shows. The value of working with an expert isn't just better writing. It's the coaching conversation, the strategic positioning and the insider knowledge of what actually gets executives hired.
What level of seniority do you work with?
About half our clients are CFOs and their direct reports. The other half are mid-level to senior executives across all functions, primarily marketing, HR and technology. We also work with organisations on workplace counselling and outplacement for departing senior staff.
What are your qualifications?
BA (Hons) in English and American Literature, University of Sussex. Executive coaching course, University of Cambridge. NCFE-Qualified Counsellor. Ten years as a senior finance recruiter at top search firms, plus Google, ABF and Adecco. Eight years in CV writing, coaching and outplacement with industry-leading talent services company, City CV.
