CVs and Interviews

I came across a website at the weekend offering CV’s for EUR 59.00. Yes you read this right – EUR 59.00 for a professional CV writing service. I actually found his site under a search for “professional CV” – hmmmm!!

Believe it or not this is not the lowest price I ever came across. I did come across a service offering a CV writing service for EUR 45.00. Interestingly this price offering did not last long as the same provider now charges EUR 95.00 for CV writing.

I reviewed the market recently to see what competitors were doing. I came up with some interesting finding. Prices ranged from EUR 85.00 to EUR 395.00. Now obviously the lower end was for Graduate CV’s and the upper end was for Senior Executives. This means that if you pay between. This leads me to believe that the following prices are a fair reflection of the Irish CV Writing marketplace.

Graduate CV – Range EUR 85.00 – EUR 125.00
Mid Level CV – Range EUR 125.00 – EUR 160.00
Executive CV – Range EUR 160.00 – EUR 395.00

Price is very important but if I was a jobseeker considering the EUR 59.00 CV service I would also want to know the following:

Why is the CV service so cheap?
What is the background and experience of the CV writer? (Website does not reveal)
Do you consult me as part of the CV writing process?

I would also review the writer or company online to see what presence they have. Ok this is a new service so the company may not be visible online BUT the writers should if they are from a HR, Recruitment or related field.
