A worked example: Rewrite or Build?
Fictional scenario
Sam has a CV with employers and dates, but the recent role reads like a task list. With specific examples of decisions and contributions, a Rewrite can make the evidence clearer.
If Sam only had scattered notes, Build would fit better. Add the Executive package only if LinkedIn copy and interview preparation are also needed.

Bring the facts that show your value.
- Your target: the role, level, country and job description.
- Your contribution: what you personally prepared, recommended, decided or led.
- Your scope: relevant teams, markets, budgets or projects.
- Your outcome: what changed or was delivered, using figures only when accurate.
- Your history: employers, dates, qualifications and any gaps.

Questions before choosing.
Do I need an assessment before a Rewrite?
No. Go directly to Rewrite if you have a usable CV and know you want it rewritten. The assessment is optional.
What if I have no figures for my achievements?
Describe the problem, your action and what changed. A specific deliverable or resolved issue can show value without an invented percentage.
Does “resume” mean a different product?
For corporate applications, the same evidence principles apply. Include the country and employer’s format requirements. Academic CVs may need a different structure.
Can I send the file straight to an employer?
Check all facts, dates and wording first. Confirm the file format and make sure you can explain each example in an interview.
