Claire

Premium CV Writer

Having previously written on a part-time basis for The CV Centre between 2004 and 2006, Claire was delighted in 2020 to be offered the opportunity to write full-time for the James Innes Group. Claire draws on extensive professional knowledge from the fields of Human Resources, law, and language to work with clients around the world, and to support them to achieve their career objectives.

Music is one of Claire's life-long loves. Classically trained on the piano, she has played in various settings over the years, including serving as cocktail pianist at the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews while a student, and playing for the International Confederation of Midwives' world congress in 2008. She now serves as accompanist for the local community choir. Other personal interests include art, architecture and social history, and she is a passionate advocate for zero waste and a plastic-free lifestyle.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Author; social worker; cocktail pianist. Two out of three ain't bad.

What fictional place would you most like to visit?

Not fictional but *desperate* to go to Hawaii. Aloha!

If you could live anywhere on this planet, where would you choose to live?

Orkney. Or Hawaii.

Which song can you listen to all day long?

I liked my writer, she was lovely and an excellent wordsmith, very responsive to communication. What I didn't like is the fact that CV Center Germany gave me a consultant who has never worked in Germany before, which is rather misleading advertising and left me disappointed.

James- Founder
Hi, LJ! First of all, thank you very much for your kind comments concerning your writer. She is definitely one of our very best - very highly experienced on numerous fronts. You are indeed correct that she has not personally worked in Germany before, only in Austria, and I can understand you would have preferred someone who had worked in Germany itself. Our teams in Germany and Austria support each other, with German, of course, being the common language, but we'll certainly take note of your comments for future consideration. We wish you all the very best for the future.

Tailored cover letter to show my skills and experience.
Reviewed on | Cover Letter |Verified Purchase

After struggling to find a job for over a year, I had applied to countless positions, many of which were below my skills and experience. Feeling desperate, I turned to The CV Centre, not only for help with my CV and LinkedIn profile but also with my cover letter.

Their team took the time to understand my career path and what I wanted to achieve, crafting a personalized and impactful cover letter that truly reflected my strengths. It was tailored to highlight my key accomplishments, address specific job requirements, and show why I was the perfect fit for the roles I was applying to. The difference was incredible—my cover letter no longer felt generic but instead felt powerful and confident.

Shortly after using the updated cover letter, I started receiving positive responses and interview invitations. The personalized approach made a significant impact, and I felt much more confident sending out my applications.

I highly recommend The CV Centre for anyone looking to craft a strong, effective cover letter. Their expertise made all the difference in my job search.

After the updates, my LinkedIn profile started gaining attention almost immediately. I saw a significant increase in profile views and connection requests.

The CV Centre made my LinkedIn profile stand out in ways I never could have on my own. I highly recommend their services for anyone who wants to make a stronger impression in today’s competitive job market.

I had been struggling to find a job for over a year and had applied for countless positions. Some of these roles were well below my skill level and pay grade, but I was feeling desperate. Then I decided to try The CV Centre, and it was honestly my last hope.

From the moment I contacted them, their team was professional and supportive. They took the time to understand my career background, strengths, and goals. The CV they created for me was not just well-written—it was tailored perfectly to the industries I was targeting, showcasing my skills and achievements in a way that truly set me apart.

Within a short time of using my new CV, I started receiving interview invitations from roles that matched my experience and ambitions. The improvement in both the quality and quantity of responses was remarkable.

I can't recommend The CV Centre enough for anyone who is struggling in their job search. Their service was a game-changer for me!

Very good service from Writer Claire, very professional and helpful with much in the way of useful advice. I highly recommend Claire to those who want a slick and professional experience.

My experience was marred by the advice at the outset before reaching Claire to take a bundle of 2 CVs. However, the 2nd CV was redundant and therefore a waste of money. Make the right decision for you and be clear about what you want or you may feel a little cheated. This was compounded by a hard sell of ATS optimization for a 'Limited Time Only'. Because of the bad advice at the outset I cannot trust that taking this service is worth it.

Reviewed on | Premium CV Writing |Verified Purchase

Paid for an extra CV based on their initial assessment of my varied roles, but this CV was barely different from the first one. A complete waste of money, in fact I feel ripped off as they did not understand my initial brief nor did the sales person take the time to try and understand the brief, she spoke at me, not to me simply telling me what their services were, it was not a discussion. One star goes to the fact that Writer Claire was very professional and tried to salvage the situation, failed but at least tried - it is just that this 2nd CV was entirely unnecessary given that it is not truly an additional different CV.

Hello! Claire left you feedback in February and never heard back so your order automatically closed. You came back to us months later in June and July.

Unfortunately we did not pick up on your message on the closed order and you had not attempted to reach out to us via any other means. In future you can always reach out to us by phone, email, contact page or live chat and we'd be happy to provide immediate, live support. We are also looking into improving notifications for messages left on orders closed a long time ago so we can better respond to these in future - this is a really rare case for us given that the vast majority of clients will opt to reach out to us via other more direct means.

Christopher has today created a fresh order for you with a complimentary 30 minute call with Claire so we can get the process going again inclusive of all services you had ordered whether they were in progress or not.

We'll be getting to work on that very soon and look forward to your feedback once everything is complete. :)

Purpose of getting interviews wasn’t achieved
Reviewed on | Senior CV Writing |Verified Purchase

I took senior Cv writing package with cover letter and LinkedIn Profile package for 230 Euros. I was able to bargain 1 extra Cv for that money. My senior Cv write Ms Claire Brenan was absolutely brilliant and my Cv looks very good and organized. However

1. the entire process of getting the Cv is very impersonal and not correct at all. Before buying the package, the call was made my Ms Claire, but after buying the package when I asked her to call me, It came to my knowledge that the calls were chargeable and very expensive. Like they asked me Euro 40-50 for 15 mins call. That is absolutely outrageous and wasn’t told to me about. Thats like mis-selling. The contact with the CV writer is only by dropping messages on there online software, not even direct chat. They will reply once they see the messages.

2. The Cv writers of UK for sure (like 100%) don’t know the Irish Job market and what recruiters and consultants look for, the moment they open the CV. I wouldn’t advise Irish people to get the Cv made from UK people

3. I am still not getting interviews at all and my Cv is being rejected outrightly. I bought this expensive package because my CV was being rejected outrightly by all companies when I have 10 plus years of sales banking and Wealth Management experience, solid academic background and good progression in my career as compared to my friend with no or little experience and they all had jobs. Its not James Inn group or Ms Claire’s fault but there ATS optimization software is surely not a good one.

4. There was quite a delay in my final CVs.

5. All in all, I wouldn’t go again for such services.

Katy- Chief People Officer
Many thanks for your comprehensive feedback, Varun, and I am pleased that you feel the CV looks good. However, I was very sorry to see that, overall, you don’t feel that the purpose was achieved here and would like to respond to your concerns in turn:

1. You mentioned that your senior CV writer, Claire, was absolutely brilliant, but then that the process was impersonal. I understand that this primarily relates to the additional cost for a phone consultation. For clarification, a consultation is not included as standard, but as an optional extra, so there wasn’t any mis-selling here. In fact, we quoted you just €20 for a follow-up call, and had already given you a free second CV as part of the original package.
2. Our writers do indeed have a good understanding of requirements in different markets around the world; in this case, your statement is 100% false as your assigned writer is, in fact, Irish.
3. We do not run our clients’ CVs through an ATS, and haven’t at any time suggested that we do, as there is little purpose to this. Our emphasis is always on keyword optimisation, which Claire outlined to you early on in the process. It is, of course, extremely disappointing that you are being rejected outright and we would be happy to support you further. In fact, I reached out to you on your order page asking for more examples of job roles you are targeting, and any CVs that you have adjusted to meet the requirements for these roles so that we could ensure the keyword optimisation process was being done correctly, but we didn’t hear back from you.
4. I can confirm that your first draft was delivered exactly within the original estimated turnaround times quoted to you at the point of order. Subsequent drafts and responses to feedback were also all provided promptly during UK/IE working hours, so there is no factual evidence of any delays.
5. It is disappointing that you wouldn’t use such services again and I hope we can change your mind - just get in touch directly via your order page where we would be more than happy to pick things up again and support you with your career journey.

Rachel provided a high quality service across CV, linked in and covering letter. Her questions in the initial phone call allowed me to get across the key points i wanted to come out in my CV and she provided good advise and feedback. The quality of the written documentation was excellent, showing she's really understood what what we'd discussed. She took on board feedback and we settled on the final CV within a couple of rounds of changes. My only negative feedback would be the timings. I'd agreed the express service within my price and although the initial draft was within the agreed timescale I had to wait for updated versions based on my feedback, the linked in and eventually the covering letter. It took in total 17 days despite generally providing feedback within a few hours to any questions and only having around 2-3 rounds of feedback.

As an international applicant with 15 years of work history, who has newly discovered that global resume format has different qualities, I have searched for resume writing companies and contacted for free resume review (I am grateful to all of them for free review opportunities, in addition the tips they provide). James Innes Group explained me all detailes on the phone (I have already left one review related with this first step) which made me sure that this is the right company to work with. I requested a new resume, cover letter and Linkedin profile.

First I was requested to chose a template and express my needs and based on that one of the resume writers was assigned to me. I'd liek to thank Ozzy, too. I had a chance to review the first draft and make my comments. However the collaboration with Ozzy did not continue due to technical reasons and I was assigned to work with Claire.

Working with Claire was wonderful. We did not waste time on explaining too long what I am looking for in my resume and cover letter. She took the inititative to change the template in accordance with my experience and background, personally approached to my needs and gave me a lot of explanations and information which helped me to navigate (it is very important for me). 2 resume drafts were enough.

The cover letter is very rich and editible. Little more about the cover letter I wrote in my other reviews.

I expected the Linkedin profile instructions to be a couple pages. But it came as a rich document with a lot of necessary information, tips and guidance.

If to summarize alongside with receiving the requested documents, I received the necessary guidance and explanation which helped me to understand why, when, where :) The only uncomfortable side is you need little patience, since communication goes through email registration/passcode system in the portal of the company for transparency purposes and you can't communicate with writers personally and quickly via your own email for faster results. Now I think that it is good, since the writers need time to do their job as it is a creative process.

I greatly reccommend James Innes Group for resume, cover letter and Linkedin profile writing and will cooperate with them in future with great pleasure.

It was a very professional and fascinating experience.

They helped me understand how they bring out the best of a position and making it clear - the designs of the resumes are great - and they would mold together a profile based on your old resume, your reference letters and job postings that you are interested in.

First product was a template with zero professional services input on CV 're-write' the second one allocated was much better but the fact that I had to complain to actually get the services I paid for was rather disappointing to me. If you want a new CV template I would recommend, but beyond that I felt there was no real value for money in the offering. But rather they were very focused on selling the next additional thing instead of just providing the service, additional call, additional speed of delivery time. If a CV can not be written without these additional services then maybe don't sell such a bundle.

Katy- Chief People Officer
Thank you for your feedback, Thokozani, and I am sorry that our service didn’t meet your expectations. You mentioned that it took a long time for a writer to get allocated, but your order was actually assigned to a writer, and an initial draft sent to you, exactly within the average 6 days that we quoted to you at the point of order. I understand that you were not happy with the initial drafts, but we stepped in as soon as we became aware, added a completely FREE phone consultation (with no attempt to sell any additional services) and reallocated your order to a brand new PREMIUM writer, whose work you stated that you were happy with before marking it as approved on 9th February. If you feel that there is anything more that we could have possibly done here, please do reach out via your order page to let us know.

Great support and advice from reviewer
Reviewed on | CV/Resume Review Call |Verified Purchase

I approached CV Centre to help guide my CV into a tighter, better product.

The call was conducted in a professional, but also personal way, with the information helping focus me on improving my CV but with no hard sell.

I'd recommend the service and would commend my reviewer Claire wholeheartedly.

This call was invaluable in allowing Claire (the CV writer assigned to me) to ask detailed questions about my unique skills and experience to produce the customised CV and professional profile I'd asked for. Claire was engaging and quickly made me feel at ease so that we could work out exactly what was needed.

Pulling the package together
Reviewed on | Cover Letter |Verified Purchase

Working with Claire has been a great learning experience, the final part of the process being a covering letter; encapsulating the details from all elements I have no doubt that if I had tried to complete this myself I would have been hard pressed to bring to the fore the detailing provided. In every part of this process the support, feedback and recommendations have been outstanding. My personal thanks to the team and especially Claire who has worked hard to produce a very rounded service for me to move forward with.

Profiling
Reviewed on | Professional LinkedIn Profile |Verified Purchase

Having maintained a LinkedIn profile for a while now the re-write has thrown me for a curve, chalk and cheese and something that I thought was resonably presentable. If anyone is going to fully embrace this, then giving your profile a makeover is the way to go. Claire provided a lot of additional advice and feedback on the existing profile and for that alone I am very grateful.

The first draft of the CV was pretty much there with only a couple of observations that were implemented very quickly by Claire. I cannot recommend enough how much difference there is between what I consider professional and relevant compared to the CV prepared and written for me; simply outstanding.

First time I have seen the value in a cover letter
Reviewed on | Cover Letter |Verified Purchase

The cover letter my senior consultant, Claire, helped me put together means I am using a cover letter for the first time. I passed up on so many job postings which required a cover letter because I didn't really understand how to put it together and differentiate it from my CV. I have been given a good draft which is adaptable depending on exactly which job I am applying for and having this so well written means I am confidently applying for double the jobs now.

Really transformative to the CV
Reviewed on | Senior CV/Resume Writing |Verified Purchase

I wasn't really too fussed about having someone work on my CV. I always thought that the information was in the CV I already had and that the hiring party could pull it apart to find the information they were looking for. With the work done on mine I found I got a shorter, simpler, snappier version of the same information which is both more professional looking, and more easy to digest for the hiring parties who are having a quick glance at the CV's to decide which ones to invest more time on. I could not recommend this service higly enough.
