Executive CV writing for directors, C-suite and senior leaders.
Your executive CV, written from scratch by an Executive Transition Coach who knows your sector. Whether it's a role you've found, a search firm brief or a promotion you've been tapped for, you get a CV that makes your value obvious in the first ten seconds and passes the systems that screen it.
You know where you're going. You need the document to match.
Tailored to one opportunity
You've seen the advert or the search firm brief, and you want a CV built around exactly what that organisation needs.
Ready for every application
You're applying through job boards and search firms, and need a CV that passes applicant tracking systems and stands out to the person reading it.
Seen at the next level
You're going for a promotion or an internal appointment, and need the people who already know you to see what you'd bring to the bigger role.
What a well-positioned executive CV changes.
Careers Expert Group is the executive division of CV People, writing for senior leaders since 2011. When we surveyed our clients, the difference showed up in interviews, time to placement and salary.
Based on a 2024 survey of 10,170 previous clients, of whom 1,127 responded. Individual results vary.
Written the way senior appointments are decided.
A conversation first
Your Executive Transition Coach starts with a 90-minute consultation about your career, your achievements and the role you're targeting. Nothing is written from a form.
Value before duties
An opening summary that tells the reader what you're known for and why it matters to them, before they reach your first role.
Evidence, with numbers
Budgets, teams, revenue, turnarounds and transformations. The scope and results that show the level you operate at.
Built for systems and people
Structured to pass applicant tracking systems, and written to read well for a recruiter, a CEO or a board.
Aimed at the target
The language, emphasis and achievements chosen for the role or level you're going for, not a summary of everything you've done.
Written from scratch
No templates and no recycled content. Every CV is written for one person and one goal.
A finished document, and the confidence to send it.
In Word and PDF, ready for job boards, search firms and direct applications.
Typically within three business days of your consultation.
Refined with your coach until it's right, with no time limit.
Your details and documents are never shared without your permission.
A tailored cover letter, executive bio or LinkedIn profile, written on the same narrative.
From first conversation to finished CV.

Before you get in touch.
Will it work with applicant tracking systems?
Yes. Every CV is structured to be read correctly by applicant tracking systems, without sacrificing how it reads to a person.
How long will it be?
Long enough to show the scope of your career, short enough to be read. For most senior leaders that's two to three pages, with the most important information on the first.
Can it be tailored to more than one role?
Yes. We write it for your primary target, and can tailor versions for other roles you're applying for.
I'm going for an internal promotion. Is that different?
A little. The people reading it already know you, so we focus on showing what you'd bring to the bigger role rather than re-introducing you.
Can I upgrade to the full programme later?
Yes. Your CV becomes part of your positioning, and your coach carries on from where you left off.
Who will write my executive CV?
One Executive Transition Coach who specialises in your sector and career level. The same person runs your consultation, writes your CV and handles every revision.
How long does it take?
Your first draft typically arrives within three business days of your consultation. Most clients have a finished CV within one to two weeks, depending on how quickly they review it. If you have a closing date, tell us when you book.
Can you write my LinkedIn profile and cover letter too?
Yes. Executive Profile combines your executive CV and LinkedIn profile, and a tailored cover letter or executive bio can be added, all written on the same narrative.
Is Careers Expert Group part of CV People?
Yes. Careers Expert Group is the executive division of CV People. Our executive CV writing service now sits here, with coaches who work exclusively with senior leaders.
