Your CV undersells the impact you've delivered for your cause
You've raised funds, secured grants and delivered programs that changed outcomes - but your CV reads like a job description rather than a track record.
You're stepping up from coordinator into management or leadership
From running programs or campaigns to leading teams and reporting to a board - and your CV needs to bridge the gap between delivery and leadership capability.
You're applying for roles assessed against selection criteria
Many not-for-profit roles assess you against set criteria. Your CV needs to evidence each one clearly, with real outcomes behind it.

Frequently asked questions.
Do your CV writers have experience in the not-for-profit sector?
Yes. Since 2011 we've grown our team to 65 specialist CV writers working across 72+ industries, and we've written more than 60,000 CVs for over 920 professions. We match you with the not-for-profit specialist with the most relevant experience for your role.
How long does it take?
Your first draft is delivered within 3 business days of your consultation call, which is usually scheduled for the next business day after you book. Express 1 and 2 business day turnarounds are also available.
Who will be working on my CV, and how do we communicate?
A specialist consultant from our team of New Zealand job market specialists works with you from start to finish. It starts with a one-to-one consultation by phone or Zoom, typically around an hour. After that you can reach your consultant by phone, Zoom or online chat in your account.
Will my CV get past applicant tracking systems (ATS)?
Yes. Most employers and job boards use ATS software to filter applications, and most applications are filtered by these systems before a recruiter sees them. Every CV we write is ATS-optimised with the keywords and formatting your target roles are screened for.
Can I request revisions?
Yes. Revisions are unlimited. Your consultant delivers requested changes by 5pm the following business day, and we keep going until your CV is exactly right.

★★★★★4.9/5 from 737 reviews"Salam provided great recommendations on formatting and the length and content of the document. CV People take the hassle out of coming up with the words to sell yourself."
"Diana listened to my feedback and also had excellent suggestions to help me create a great resume. We exchanged several emails to refine my cover letter and she has the patience of a saint."
"Lorraine extracted from me skills I had forgotten and neglected to include, and made me realise how extensive my skill set was and how my previous CV was failing to do me justice."
"Starting my second career, I had no idea how to tie in my previous working life with a very different second career. Kerri succeeded in reflecting me perfectly on paper and making my previous experience seem indispensable to my new career path."
"The consultation questions really pulled out abilities and achievements I had been diminishing. The finished CV has given me confidence as I seek to transition out of my current industry after a career break."
CV People not-for-profit specialist vs generic and AI CV services.
