Having spent many years working on the ground as a web developer I recently decided that I want to try and spend more time at the strategic level. Breaking into the fascinating world of non-executive directors seems to be a great opportunity to help businesses succeed without getting bogged down in the details. The problem was, my CV had been honed over many years to show what an excellent developer I was, not my business acumen. Matt had written some excellent case studies for my company website, so I had no hesitation in asking him to write my new CV.
My first application was hotly contested and I didn’t get the role, but my new CV from Matt got me much further than my own efforts would have done. After a quick interview he managed to capture exactly what value I had for a prospective employer and convey that in a professional, clear but human way.
