I recently realised that my CV had not been updated for over 20 years! Easy to do myself, so I thought. I was wrong! It is hard to be objective about your skills and qualities and I have a tendency to play them down. James takes the time to get to know you well, and grasps a true understanding of exactly what you do. He highlights your positive attributes and makes the CV a true reflection of you; not a generic list of abilities and qualifications. The cover letter James can provide gives extra context to the CV and will elevate any job application. James' CV writing service is great value for money and I would recommend him 100%.

Good News!
Just writing to let you know that today I received a call confirming that I’ve managed to get a place on an apprenticeship scheme at a multinational company. Thank you so much for your covering letter and CV it helped me so much and really bettered my chances of standing out from the rest of the candidates. 4th June 2024 - Josh Kind, Nottinghamshire
Great service, friendly and professional, I would definitely recommend. James even contacted me again the day after to check I was happy with what he had produced and if I had any questions, really nice touch. Michael B. 12 Jan 2024 22:49
I asked James to review/update my 20 year old CV based on the reviews I'd read online, he contacted me to discuss before going ahead with anything and kept in contact throughout to ensure the information was as accurate as possible. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome; it now looks up to date and far more professional. Steven Allott 14 Dec 2023 17:05
I would recommend anyone needing a CV to go to James Mills. He is very patient and understanding of anyone a little later on in years like me that am not really into computers. A very quick and professional service from a lovely guy at a reasonable price
Thanks again James, Neil Goddard, 13th December 2023
Hi James,
Just letting you know that I started my new job on Monday 11th December at Alloga South Normanton as transport supervisor. Thanks again for doing my CV.

Darren Watson - 9th November 2023
I was referred to James for my CV and cover letter by a friend and was so glad to have got in touch with him. As soon as I contacted James, he asked me a few questions and informed me what he required. I was so impressed by how quickly James got started on my CV and cover letter and his response via call and emails were so efficient. He sent me a draft to ensure I was happy with what he put together and any changes I wanted to make were no problem. He truly went above and beyond and was a pleasure to speak with. Literally within the week I had my cover letter and CV and thanks to James, I have had several agencies contact me and who always comment how impressed they are with my CV. I cannot thank James enough for his time and effort. RS 9th November 2021
What a fabulous service! I have used other companies to write my CV and James is not only so helpful but he shows he cares and wants the best outcome. We spoke daily throughout the planning of correcting my CV, as he is a perfectionist in my view. He was never offended if I wanted a change. When I got my CV back it was amazing, it looked so clear and stood out. Not only is the service amazing but the fees were very reasonable. Thank you so much.
Joanne Lacking, Runcorn - Cheshire, 28th April 2021
This week I contacted James regarding my CV after being employed for 14 years now having been made redundant in these uncertain times I wasn't feeling very joyful about my old CV, it needed a lot of work. James has been outstanding his compassion, understanding and overall professionalism has outshone. His eagerness to fine detail is amazing. He has done a brilliant job on my CV and much exceeded what I could have imagined it to be. I would like to sincerely thank you James for your service and help in sorting this for me quickly and accurately. Highly recommended! All the best.
Toni Marshall, Nottingham, 14th January 2021
James, I can't thank you enough for the CV and cover letter that you've written on my behalf. The amount of detail and information that is within is phenomenal. You were polite and patient waiting for me to reply to your emails, and always offering me advice for the future! Again I cannot thank you enough and I would most certainly recommend you to anybody who needs this service.
Alex Marshall, Nottinghamshire 23rd October 2020
After writing my own unsuccessful CV I have emailed James and asked for help. He has been absolutely brilliant. Within days I had a new CV and Cover letter. We have had few phone conversations and emails exchanged to make sure we haven't missed anything. I have got 2 interviews lined up already and I have only had my new CV 6 days. Couldn't thank James enough for filling me with confidence. Definitely recommend!
D S – Derbyshire 06th August 2020
James, I would just like to say a massive thank you for all your help. Your polite and informative approach made me feel at ease with what you was doing. You was in regular contact and gave me a step by step update on progress. The CV is written amazingly. It has everything I’d wish for and more. The cover letter is equally helpful. I don’t often write reviews but this service deserves a big mention. Once again Thank you for all your advice and help.
Dhillon Singh, Derbyshire 7th July 2020
Couldn't have wished for a better person to create my CV and cover letter. The initial contact with James and completion of the documents happened in less than one week. No face to face meetings allowed at the moment but this was not necessary. James was given a mountain of information and produced an excellent CV which included information that I would never have thought of. James knew more about my employment history than me just by taking the data and producing the best CV I have ever seen. The final product is definitely bespoke and not generated by some faceless CV generating software that the usual employment agencies and "free" CV review companies use. If you don't use James's skills then you are definitely going for second best with another company.
Kevin Stokes, Derbyshire 15th June 2020
Great and very personalised service. More detailed approach than larger companies can provide. I considered going to a larger company but this provided an excellent result, and great value. I will be recommending to friends and family as a result.
Alison Maynard, Derbyshire – 03 January 2020
Thank you for the professional way in which you helped with my CV. I am very happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend your services in the future.
Thomas Wolf, Ashfield – 18 December 2019
James, may I take this opportunity to thank you for your prompt and excellent work, I never knew a CV could look so good and to top it off I have an excellent cover letter to compliment it. I really appreciate your advice and input as I really did not know where to start but thankfully I came across your services. I will happily recommend you in the future. Many thanks,
Darren Shaw, South Yorkshire - 20 November 2019
Thank you James for the CV and cover letter, writing a CV is without a doubt a balanced art. I really can’t thank you enough for what is a truly personal CV done by someone that knows what they are doing and not stencilled from a computer package. Highly recommend if you want to get that interview. All the very best James, I felt like I’d known you for years.
Bruce Falconer, Nottinghamshire - 28 October 2019
Thank you James so much for the excellent CV you compiled for me from our one-to-one meetings. You comprehensively improved my own out dated written CV which had mixed results in the past. Extremely personable and professional who gleaned extra information from myself to include in my CV and cover letter. I would highly recommend James and the service he provides. Once again many thanks.
T R – Mansfield, 22nd October 2019
Great service and great person; my CV and cover letter are impressive and I’m in no doubt I’ll secure some job interviews soon. We exchanged a few emails and spoke on the phone about my past experiences which enabled James to create a remarkable final product. As an extra I had a bit of advice of how to approach a job interview etc. I can fully recommend it for anybody who’s looking for a valuable, honest service. Thank you again James.
M D – Mansfield, 21st October 2019
Good News Flash!
I just want to say thank you for my fantastic CV. I had lots of interviews for different jobs. The response I got was fab! I’m starting my new career soon, this time as a dental nurse. So happy! :) Best wishes.
Marta Budzikowska – Bristol, 29 August 2019
Before I reached out to CV Writing Services of Mansfield I had difficulty expressing the duties and experiences of my previous jobs. James helped to put my thoughts into words and within the first week of using my new CV I got two interviews. Brilliant service and well worth the money.
A B – Sutton-in-Ashfield, 15 August 2019
Thank you for producing a comprehensive, tailor-made CV and cover letter for me. Your knowledge, along with the information you provided has given me a professional looking CV. If you want a CV with a personal touch, James is your man. Many thanks.
S H – Nottingham, 11 August 2019
Brilliant service! Fast and professional. James helped me to progress my career few years ago and I got my dream job! I’ve asked him again to update my CV because I know his service will be outstanding. I can't wait to change my career path! My portfolio looks amazing. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you James!
Marta - Bristol, 11 June 2019
Good News Flash!
I was supported to understand what employers expect from a CV. The support I was given was professional and supported me to capture my skills and evidence my suitability for the job role within my field. The CV writer was calm and took time to understand the key aspects of my role. Whilst consistently communicating with me. I only presented my CV to a few employers and got a job within 3 weeks of job searching.
Cheverne Lewis-Cromwell, 10 June 2019
My CV had been updated several times over the years and had lost its impact. I had been applying for new roles but with very little success or responses. After searching various CV writing services I found James Mills of CV writing services of Mansfield. I have to say that the whole experience from initial phone call to receiving my new CV has been very positive and professional and the end product is excellent. James approaches the task in a consultative manner and asks what you want to achieve so there is a clear understanding for both parties and gives you the confidence that you are having a very personal service. A few hours after receiving my new CV I applied for 2 senior jobs that had caught my eye and the following day I received an email to arrange a telephone interview and I am now progressing to the face-to-face interviews. The CV has obviously made a good impression. Thank You James, great job.

The CV service was very professional and covered all my career and qualifications; I would recommend this excellent service. I also attended my first interview just three days after uploading my new CV and was accepted for the role, very pleased with this service.
James Thomas – Nottinghamshire, 31 May 31, 2019
Having been on the other side of the table reading CV’s and application letters from prospective employees, I thought I would have the confidence to write my own. Following my recent redundancy and after posting my-self generated CV with several well known recruitment agencies and receiving no replies, I guessed I was doing something wrong. CV Writing Services of Mansfield came recommended by a friend who assured me that James was the man to help me move forward. James has a wealth of experience in this area and providing you supply honest information on your past experience he will generate a sterling, enviable, killer CV that will leave you proud and confident to take the next step in your career.
Derek – Nottinghamshire, 29 March 2019
Fantastic service from start to finish! I was after promotion at work and struggled to even get an interview. I had used the same old tired CV for years so decided to look online. I stumbled across James Mills CV writing services and a meeting was arranged straight away. Within a week I had a brand new top class CV. The week after I got an interview, I can’t recommend James Mills enough.
Neil Woolley – March 2019
Good News Flash!
Having decided to take redundancy after 18 years working for the same company, I realised I needed a CV but had no idea where to start. I tried concocting my own but it didn’t “sell” me or my brand and ended up too long. I decided to look around for someone to write it for me and approached James Mills. From the first phone call he listened to what I wanted to achieve and made many suggestions! After sending him various items old job descriptions, a bit about me etc., James wrote my CV. I applied for various jobs and ended up being able to choose the company I am now working for as I had various offers! I know that my professional CV helped enormously and opened up these opportunities. I can’t thank James enough for all his help and advice about what to put in and what to leave out and thoroughly recommend his service to anyone;
Catherine Morrow – 15 February 2018
Thank you so much James. My CV is perfect. The service from you is outstanding. It really was a hassle free experience. I fully appreciated we communicated by email so I didn't have to take time off work. The result is a high standard professional CV of which I am sure will get me a job within no time. I will definitely be recommending your services.
Anon. – 13 February 2018
James wrote the most amazing CV for me! I visited him and he spent a lot of time reading the information I sent him and then when we met he had a fabulous way of drawing out what I had done and then putting it into words on my Cv and personal statement in a way I would have never been able to do! He also made suggestions and would highly recommend this service - well worth the investment! Have now got to start applying for some jobs!
Catherine Morrow - 02 October 2017
Having worked for the same company for over 20 years to then be told that I was being made redundant meant I needed an up to date CV. A lot has changed since I last needed one so that's why I contacted James. I found James to be extremely helpful and informative. We spent a good deal of time discussing what I needed and the best ways of making my CV stand out. The CV that he has produced for me is first class and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other people.
Andrew Morton – 30 August 2017
The CV service was very professional and covered all my career and qualifications; I would recommend this excellent service.
Shane Nettle – 16 August 2017
James did a great job at updating my CV, redesigning the layout and making the whole thing sound more professional. It was completed in less than a week and I'm more than happy with the outcome. He was lovely to work with and made the whole process very simple! Thank you!
