FAQs

  • How long will this course take me?

    If you work through this course from beginning to end, it should take you no longer than one afternoon.

  • How is this course different from other similar products?

    This course is based on Stephen's extensive practical experience in headhunting and career mentoring. After 22 years in the business, he has seen and worked on hundreds of CVs, giving Stephen a unique insight into what makes a successful CV.

  • There’s so much free help online. How will this be worth it?

    You're right - in fact, I'd say there is even too much CV help online. What we've done, however, is to create an easy and bespoke programme that uniquely guides people through the CV writing process. It is tightly focused and draws on both experience and the best research out there.

  • What if I hit a brick wall?

    If you follow each step as instructed, you should end up with a fantastic CV by the end. However, if you are well and truly stuck, you can email Career Mentor for advice.

  • What if I’m not happy with the end result?

    We're confident that our CV writing course will help you create a brilliant CV. That's why if you're not happy with your CV having completed each lesson and activity, we offer a money back guarantee.

  • I work in the creative industry. Will this still be relevant?

    We are aware that certain creative industries have particular ways of presenting their CVs and portfolios of work. Although much of the thinking required will be similar, our course would not necessarily always be appropriate for highly specialised professions, such as architecture.

  • Does this help course help me write a cover letter?

    Much of the thinking behind a successful CV is similar to that for a great cover letter. However, whilst there is some overlap, the practicalities of writing a cover letter are different. We have a separate course in the making which focuses on cover letters. You can also visit our website, www.careermentor.co.uk, for some help on cover letters.

  • Do you offer a payment plan?

    For now, we are not offering a payment plan.
