Hi, I'm Ella.
I'm a Life and Career Coach with over 25 years' experience in HR, business management and leadership.
Over the years I've reviewed and written hundreds of CVs, coached and supported people at every stage of their careers, from graduates to senior leaders.
I've seen first-hand that brilliant people often miss out on interviews, not because they lack experience, but because their CV isn't telling their story as clearly as it could.
This checklist brings together many of the practical things I look for when reviewing a CV, so you can use them too.

Complete the form below and I'll send it straight to your inbox.
I hope it helps you take one step closer to your next interview.

Not sure? Not getting the interviews you want? Unclear how best to lay thing out, what to include, what to leave out?
