Frequently asked questions
How much does a professional CV writer cost in the UK?
With ResumeCroc, a professionally written CV costs from £129. Starter Pack (£129) covers an expert-written, ATS-optimised CV. Career Growth (£169) adds a tailored cover letter and our 45-day interview guarantee. Executive Priority (£299) adds a LinkedIn profile rewrite and priority delivery, with your first draft within 3 working days.
How long should a CV be in the UK?
Two pages of A4 is the standard for most UK roles. Graduates and school leavers can often fit everything on one page, and senior executives occasionally justify a little more. Academic CVs are the main exception, because they list publications, grants and teaching in full. We keep every line relevant to the role.
Should I put a photo on my CV in the UK?
No. UK employers do not expect a photo, and leaving it out keeps the focus on your skills and experience rather than your appearance. Your date of birth and marital status are not needed either. If your right to work in the UK could be in question, a short line confirming it is useful.
What is the difference between a CV and a supporting statement?
A CV summarises your whole career, while a supporting statement answers one job’s person specification in prose. Supporting statements are common in NHS, education and wider public sector applications, which are often made through online forms such as NHS Jobs. Shortlisters assess them against the essential and desirable criteria, so evidence each one.
Do UK employers use applicant tracking systems?
Yes. Many UK employers and recruitment agencies use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to collect, search and filter applications, especially for high-volume and graduate roles. We use a clean single-column layout, standard section headings and the keywords from your target job adverts, so the system reads your CV correctly and recruiters can find it.
How long does it take to get my CV written?
Your first draft arrives within 3 to 5 working days of placing your order and completing your brief, or within 3 working days on Executive Priority. You then review it and request free revisions, so the final timeline depends partly on how quickly you send feedback.
What is included in a professional CV writing service?
Every ResumeCroc package includes an expert-written CV from a writer who knows your sector, keyword optimisation for your target role, professional ATS-friendly formatting and free revisions. Career Growth adds a tailored cover letter and a 45-day interview guarantee. Executive Priority adds a LinkedIn profile rewrite and priority delivery.
Should I include references on my CV?
Usually not. Most UK employers ask for referees later in the process, so a line saying references are available on request only takes up space. The exception is when the job advert or application form asks for referee details upfront, as many NHS, school and other public sector application forms do.
