Mark Jory

Freelance CV Writer | Cover Letter Writer

I’m an experienced freelance CV writer with a strong track record of helping jobseekers across all levels present themselves with clarity, confidence, and purpose. My approach is grounded in evidence-based career development practice, commercial recruitment insight, and over a decade of hands-on experience supporting clients to navigate competitive labour markets in the UK and internationally. I specialise in turning fragmented work histories, limited experience, or complex career stories into compelling, strategically positioned applications that get attention.

My core strength is translating a client’s background into employer-focused value. I don’t just tidy documents—I analyse achievements, identify the real selling points, and shape narratives that align with industry expectations. Whether I’m writing for early-career candidates, career changers, senior professionals, or clients facing employment barriers, my focus is always on measurable impact: concise, targeted documents that pass applicant tracking systems and resonate with human readers.

I’m skilled at extracting meaningful detail through structured questioning, even from clients who struggle to articulate their strengths. I quickly map transferable skills, connect past experience to future goals, and bring out evidence that boosts credibility. I’m confident handling gaps, non-linear histories, freelancing, insecure work, and sensitive situations while maintaining a professional, positive tone.

My writing style is clean, direct, and results-driven. Every CV, cover letter, or LinkedIn profile I produce is custom-built from scratch, tailored to the target role and market, and aligned with current recruitment trends. I stay up to date with evolving ATS algorithms, employer priorities, and sector-specific language, ensuring that clients receive documents that feel modern, authentic, and opportunity-focused.

Alongside writing, I offer coaching on job search tactics, interview preparation, and personal branding. This means I understand the full recruitment cycle and create materials that genuinely support clients through it—not just at the application stage. I also produce digital career-related content, templates, and resources for online sale, combining my professional expertise with strong creative and instructional design skills.

Ultimately, my work is about equipping people to compete on merit. Clients value my honesty, precision, and ability to turn even limited experience into a credible, employable story. Whether refining an existing CV or building a brand-new suite of documents, I deliver high-quality, tailored materials that open doors and strengthen confidence.
