Curriculum Vitae (CV) – Making sure your CV is up to scratch is one of the most important steps you can take towards getting the job that you want.

The quality and the correct layout are very important. A carefully written professional CV avoids those problems - giving you the best chance of success

In most instances your CV is the first impression of you a prospective employer gets. If the first impression is not good it is unlikely you will get an interview, so you miss out on the chance to sell yourself in person. Employers see hundreds of CVs so making sure yours is one of those being read is key to getting a job – even if you are the most experienced or qualified candidate in the market.

Quite simply a professionally written CV is a valuable investment that can help get you the results you want in the highly competitive job market. Writing a great CV is not as easy as it might seem so why not get some expert help?

My approach is not about putting your CV into a standard template I work with each CV individually to create the most powerful profile of you. After all everyone is different and a CV is about presenting you and not about making everyone fit to a format.

All CV’s are laser printed using only the finest pure white laser quality paper. As well as the printed copies I also backup the CV onto floppy disc, this can be very useful, particularly when an employer or agency wants you to email your CV rather than post or fax it.

In addition to your CV, I can also offer covering letters and additional versions of your CV.

Children/Family collages – Using the latest sophisticated digital imaging software and hardware I am able to create a special collage of your baby, children or family and can print out in A5, A4 and even A3 size.

Not a problem, I can resize, reshape, circulate or box, fade edges, and lots of other effects. Maybe your want part in greyscale and part in colour? Again, not a problem, your collage is our imagination. These are great for yourself and also make an excellent birthday or Christmas present or maybe a nice surprise for someone, always goes down really well.

I can also offer a picture framing service, just chooses the colour scheme of your choice and I will frame your special collage.

Brochures & Catalogues – Your company brochure can be as important as your logo. Brochure design needs to be both informative and engrossing. Keeping the panels from being cluttered with too much information can be difficult.

PDF (Portable Document Format) converter – PDF is the standard for secure and reliable distribution and exchange of electronic documents and forms around the world. PDF is a universal file format that preserves the fonts, images, graphics and layout of any source document, regardless of the application and platform used to create it. Adobe PDF files are compact and complete and can be shared, viewed and printed by anyone with free Adobe Reader¨ software.

If you want to transfer files by email or the Web to other computer users and to ensure that your files are readable, the safest option is to convert them to PDF. Other computer users will not always have the appropriate software to view your text and graphics files but the software to read PDF files is free and widely installed. PDF is frequently used as a 'print-friendly' format which can be made widely available from the Web.

PDF files will appear exactly the same whatever computer you use, so a PDF file made from a document which was originally formatted in Word will look exactly the same on someone else's machine as it did on yours. This is true even if graphics were embedded in the original file.

The great benefits of PDF are the security. You can control how the PDF file can be opened i.e. you can have a password to open the file, restrict print options, restrict anyone from copying the text and graphics within the file.
