Reviews about Blake
I am very happy with the service provided by CV Centre. I would like to thank Blake, who was very professional in his approach, an active listener who made several modifications to my CV until I was satisfied. He patiently answered all my questions and even made recommendations in areas which required further improvement. Overall, I highly recommend to use the services provided by CV Centre.
Have been given positive feedback from everyone that has read through my CV
Poorest service. None of the work was completed. The first draft for the cover letter was a copy and paste of my cv, the second a copy and paste of the JD and the third a copy and paste of thoughts I shared. I had to write the cover letter myself in the end so I wouldn't miss the deadline. And when I asked for a refund, I was told I had been sent all the drafts and the work was completed. No refund, and now no communication.
I have been struggling to redo my resume and finally decided to hire a professional to get some help. Blake was amazing! I highly recommend this service to anyone looking. A tremendous stress has been lifted and I can continue to focus on my career, knowing I have a terrific resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile.

I purchased the Advanced CV packaged with Cover Letter, Linked In, and ATS Optimization for one job. Blake was my writer. I was very apprehensive about ordering any CV writing service. I had a fee 15 min review over the phone with another agent and she provided me with valuable tips to improve my CV. I looked at about 10 services and chose James Innes Group. I am very happy with my final product. I would recommend using them if you are in need of the service. It took a few days to get assigned a writer, afterwards he was very responsive. I sent a message with a few small changes and Blake was quick to upload a new draft.
amazing service and good communication
I like the professionalism, expertise and technical know of the writer Blake, my CV & cover letter turned out to be outstanding.
I'm extremely pleased with the outstanding service.
Was a smooth service and my CV is now totally revamped. The only downside I’d say is that the CV writer wasn’t based in the UK so communication was slightly slow and also the code retrieval every time you received an email was slightly annoying and time consuming
the writer just ask a jobs you want to apply then the write about it
Your original CV was bullet-heavy, aesthetically displeasing, repetitive, poorly worded, completely missed out on a professional profile and didn't tick any of the boxes on the kind of keywords you could use to apply for the sort of job you're looking for... and that's just getting started. I am afraid I must also note that the phrase 'Ability to' was repeated 17 times across two pages.
Your new CV is a drastic and excellent overhaul and one I am sure you will find much success with when applying for jobs, especially compared with your original. We could have gone even further for you if you had given a little more detail in terms of your achievements - please feel free to get in touch any time and we'd be glad to talk about updating that or targeting it for specific jobs you'd like to apply for.
I liked the quick turnaround and professionalism. One suggestion would be to have individuals more familiar with the industry they are writing resumes for to provide better wording recommendations.
It could be that my field demands different requirements than the corporate space but I found myself making a number of changes in wording and structure to make the resume relevant to the job I am applying for. There seemed to be a difference in spelling, grammar and terminology standards as it seemed the writer was using a UK style of English and I am based in the US. I appreciated her prompt response and she was very easy to work with I just feel that my occupation may not line up 100% with JIGs typical client base. Overall it was good product and experience just required more work on my end that I would have hoped to make it something I felt comfortable submitting.
From an original and heavily detailed three page CV, Blake's brief was pretty much to reduce my ten unnecessary words down to three - he was spot on and I now have a more professional and reader-friendly CV, along with matching cover letter and text for my LinkedIn Profile. Thank you as I couldn't have done it without your help!
Awesome job, took all of the information I threw at them and sculpted it into a CV I'm proud of! Cant wait to see how much it helps.
Surprisingly Blake can squeeze my 6 pages original CV to become 2 pages and still remain the crucial contents. He understands right away what I want and does his job promptly.
Should provide some actual LinkedIn graphic to help customers to easily follow LinkedIn page.
I would prefer if writers begin to ask customers backgrounds and what are their objectives in their careers. I don't mind if writers provide honest feedback for customers original CV and cover letter. For me it is good to hear feedback from professional then I know what I need to improve and how they can support.
I was very disappointed with the service and I do not recommend using this company.
When I first got the initial review call the lady ensured me the CV will be at a high standard and completed on time and someone will be assigned to help me with my CV within 24 hours.
The first person who was assigned was then unable to complete my CV so another person was assigned.
The drafts sent to me I wasn't happy with and I saw mistakes on my CV and felt the quality of the CV was very poor especially for a senior consultant
The person also assigned also worked at night so by the time I got their feedback in the morning that person was no longer online to make my changes during the day. My deadline was also approaching and I felt stressed because my CV still wasnt completed.
At the end of it I got fed up and got my cv proof read by someone else (external)
A complete waste of £165!! Not worth it and do not recommend the service at all.
