I've reviewed thousands of resumes and CVs. Let me tell you what's wrong with yours.

Get a personal video review from me, a recruiter with 15+ years' experience reviewing and placing professionals across marketing, communications, sales, digital, tech, operations and engineering.

This isn't an AI review or a generic checklist. It's me going through your actual resume or CV as if I were considering you for a role, telling you what I notice, what's getting in your way and exactly what I'd change.

Choose the Resume / CV + LinkedIn Review and I'll also go through your LinkedIn profile and look at how the two work together.

See what a real review looks like

Watch this 5-minute snapshot from a real resume review to get a feel for the kind of feedback and advice I provide.

Your full review goes much deeper. I'll work through your entire resume or CV, from your overall positioning and personal profile or summary through to structure, content and individual roles.

You'll receive the full video review followed by detailed written notes and suggested wording you can actually use.

You've tweaked the wording, reordered sections and tried the advice from that LinkedIn post. Maybe you've even run it through ChatGPT to "optimise" it.

And you're still not hearing back.

Here's what's actually happening: most resume and CV advice is generic. It tells you what a good resume should look like, but not what's specifically working against yours.

Without knowing what's holding it back, you're guessing.

This review tells you what I'd change, why I'd change it and what to tackle first, so you can stop guessing and start giving yourself a better chance of getting interviews.

What you get

A personal video walkthrough, section by section.

Me on camera, going through your actual resume or CV the way I would if it landed on my desk for a real role. Most reviews are around 15 minutes, but they can be considerably longer depending on how much there is to work through.

My first impression, out loud.

What I think in those crucial first few seconds of scanning it. What's immediately clear? What isn't? Where do I hesitate or start asking questions?

Your highest-impact fixes, in order.

I'll cover the changes I'd make across the document, but I'll also tell you which ones I'd prioritise and which could be hurting your chances of getting interviews.

Detailed written notes and suggested wording.

You'll get written follow-up notes covering the key changes, including suggested wording you can use and adapt rather than being left to work it all out yourself.

Delivered within 3 working days.

Your private video review and written notes are sent directly to your inbox, ready for you to act on.

Why me?

Suze Cook, founder of Ruby Magpie

I've spent 15+ years reviewing and placing professionals across marketing, communications, creative, digital, sales, tech and engineering.

Before recruitment, I spent years working in marketing myself, including at Microsoft, 118 118 and UKTV.

That combination means I've seen the hiring process from both sides.

I know what makes a hiring manager stop and pay attention because I've been that hiring manager. And I know which resumes and CVs get put forward to clients, and which don't, because I've spent years making those decisions as a recruiter.

I'm not interested in giving you generic feedback or running through a template checklist.

I'm looking at your resume or CV, the roles you're targeting and the story you're trying to tell, and showing you what's working, what isn't and what I'd change.

Fair questions

"Can't I just use ChatGPT to review it?"

AI can give you useful general advice. What it can't replicate is the genuine reaction of someone who has spent 15+ years screening candidates and deciding who gets put forward to hiring managers.

I'm not just looking for keywords or checking whether you've followed the "rules". I'm looking at how you position yourself, whether your career story makes sense, where I start to lose interest or have questions, and what I'd need to see to feel confident putting you forward.

That's the judgment you're paying for.

"Is it worth the money?"

If your job search isn't getting the response you'd expect, knowing why can save you weeks of changing the wrong things.

One clear review shows you what to fix, what to prioritise and why.

And there's a simple guarantee: if I don't identify at least three specific changes worth making, reply to your delivery email within 7 days and I'll refund you in full.

"Do you review resumes and CVs outside the UK?"

Absolutely.

This is an international service and I review both resumes and CVs.

The conventions may vary slightly between countries, but the fundamentals don't: how quickly your value comes across, whether your experience is relevant and easy to understand, whether you demonstrate impact and whether your career story makes sense.

You can book from anywhere and pay securely in your local currency.

"Will you understand my industry?"

I have extensive recruitment experience across marketing, communications, creative, digital, sales, tech and engineering.

I also review resumes and CVs from people working in other sectors and functions. The fundamentals of positioning, clarity, impact and communicating your value apply across industries.

The guarantee

If I don't identify at least three specific changes worth making, reply to the delivery email within 7 days and I'll refund you in full.
