Executive-level CVs built from real hiring insight

DK CV Writers

Your first CV, done properly

Writing a CV when you've never had a proper job can feel impossible. It isn't. We help school leavers turn school, part-time work, sport, volunteering and the things you already do into a clear one-page CV that gives an employer a reason to call you.

Sounds familiar?

  • You don't think you have anything to put on it, so the page looks empty.
  • Online templates are built for people with years of work history, not someone leaving school.
  • You're applying for part-time, apprenticeship or first full-time roles and hearing nothing back.
  • You're not sure what employers want to see from someone just starting out.

How we help

  • A consultation call by phone or video, where we talk through school, jobs, sport, volunteering and interests, so nothing useful gets missed.
  • A one-page CV, the length we recommend for school leavers. We explain why in How long should your CV be?
  • Clear wording that shows your skills, reliability and attitude, not just a list of subjects.
  • Your first draft is delivered within 3 business days of your consultation call, with ongoing revisions as required.

A 1-day urgent turnaround is available on request through the Priority Service add-on ($250).
