01 · What you get

The CV that gets the call, not the archive.

I see around a hundred CVs a day. The ones I call all have the same shape. Yours will too.

Read in six seconds

A clear title at the top, numbers in the first ten lines, achievements instead of duties, and the Gulf basics handled: photo, nationality, visa, notice period.

One CV, every application

Built around the one job you want. No rewriting it for every posting, so you spend your time applying, not editing.

My notes on every change

What I changed and why, how to handle a gap, and what your target market will ask. Nothing invented: every number comes from your CV or your answers.

02 · Your layout

Pick your look. Same CV either way.

Sample CV in the Modern layout: navy headings in capitals, dates on the right (fictional client)
ModernNavy headings, dates on the right.
Sample CV in the Classic layout: black and grey, serif headings, dates in a left-hand column (fictional client)
ClassicBlack and grey, dates down the left.

Both ATS-friendly, Word and PDF, photo optional. It is purely your preference, and if you change your mind within 7 days I send you the other one. Sample shown is a fictional client.

03 · How it works

Your CV (or LinkedIn PDF), the job and country you are going for, and your layout.

Ajay Shah · Brand and Retail Operations Manager, Dubai · LinkedIn recommendation

LinkedIn recommendation from Ajay Shah, Brand and Retail Operations Manager, 9 October 2025: After 11 years in Dubai and redundancy I reached out to Dan for advice to ensure my CV and LinkedIn were market ready. I had such a positive call with Dan, amended points on my CV which weren't too many, just to be market ready. Fast forward to several interviews and a job offer. It took a while but persistence and advice from Dan really made a massive difference.

Two promises

On time. Your CV is in your inbox within 48 hours of your answers, or I refund you in full and you keep it.
Right. If you would not send it, tell me within 7 days and I rework it until you would. Factual corrections are included for 14 days.

Straight answers

Before you ask.

How is this different from other CV writing services in Dubai?

Most are writing agencies charging AED 1,500 to 3,000. This is a recruiter. I have hired in Dubai since 2007, the format is the one I use for my own candidates, the questions are the ones I ask when I screen, and the notes tell you how your CV reads to the people deciding. It is faster and cheaper because my time goes on the review, not the typing.

Do I need to tailor it for each job?

No. That is the point. It is built around the one job title and country you are going for, and you send the same file every time. If you are applying for two different kinds of role, I will say so in the notes, because no single CV does two jobs well.

What exactly does the 48 hours mean?

The clock starts when you send your answers to my questions. From then your CV is back within 48 calendar hours, or you get a full refund and still keep the CV. If you do not answer within 48 hours, I build it from your current CV and tell you what is missing.

What if I open it and it is not right?

Tell me within 7 days of delivery, through the link in your email, and I rework it until you would send it. Factual fixes like a wrong date are included for 14 days. A different target role is a new CV.

Should I include a photo?

Usually yes for UAE and Saudi employers. It is optional: upload one on the form if you want it, and my notes tell you what works for your target market.

Who is this for?

Anyone applying for roles in the UAE, Saudi Arabia or the wider GCC, from graduates to senior managers. No CV yet? Upload your LinkedIn PDF instead. Director level and above, working with me privately: see the Executive Direct Approach System (the AED 695 comes off it within 90 days).

Every week you wait, the role goes to someone else.

Give me the CV you have. It is back in 48 hours, or it is free.
