Sheena's CV Case Study

The challenge

Sheena was essentially starting from scratch! She was fortunate enough that she hadn't needed to apply to a job in 15 years. She was leaving her career with an established corporation to pursue a career as a solo consultant. She needed a great pitch for herself.

How Erica, a TopCV writer, helped Sheena

Sheena filled out our questionnaire to get started, and packed it full of useful information to help us begin. She outlined what she was having problems with, such as "How do I boast about this award?" "What should be the first thing I say about job X?" "Can you add a visual to summarise my qualifications?" The questionnaire is the first stop for all our clients, but we needed some real depth from her and spent a lot more time with it.

I was really happy to spend a lot of time with Sheena customizing her pitch and not just her list of qualifications. I helped draft her LinkedIn Profile and two different cover letter types that she could use with prospective clients. We had already done all the work to identify who she was and what she wanted, so I was glad we could give her such a complete branded package!

In her own words

Erica was able to take 20+ years of my experience and succinctly capture it all in two beautiful pages. Amazing! I feel like my CV is clean, readable, to the point, visually appealing, and fresh. Thank you!
