Professionally written CVs, Cover Letters and LinkedIn profiles
Professional CV Writing Services in New Zealand
CVs by Sarah provides practical, high-quality CVs, Cover Letters, and LinkedIn writing for people across New Zealand. You get clear, honest advice and documents that reflect who you are, what you can do, and where you’re heading - without jargon or sales fluff.
You work directly with Sarah, an experienced CV writer who understands how employers and recruiters read applications. The focus is simple: make your strengths easy to see and help you apply them with confidence.
You want a CV that actually works, one that gets read and leads to interviews. That’s what I do.
I’m a professional CV writer you can rely on for clear, honest, well-targeted documents that reflect who you are and what employers are looking for. I take the time to understand your background, your goals, and the roles you’re applying for, then shape your CV so your strengths are obvious and easy to spot.
No fluff. No templates that don’t fit. Just a CV that presents you properly and helps you move forward with confidence.
CV rewrite and redesign in Word/Google Docs/PDF
$395 + GST
A strong CV makes it easy for employers to quickly see your value. I’ll rewrite and redesign your CV so it’s clear, well-structured, and aligned with today’s job market, whether you’re starting out or bringing years of experience. You’ll get a CV that:
Clearly shows your skills, experience, and achievements.
Is easy to read and recruiter-friendly.
Works across online applications and direct submissions.
CV + Cover Letter (generic or role-specific)
$495 + GST
A CV on its own often isn’t enough. A good Cover Letter explains your story, shows motivation, and helps the employer understand your fit before they even read your CV. I’ll write or rewrite your Cover Letter so it:
Sounds like you (not generic or templated).
Connects your experience to the role.
Gives employers a clear reason to keep reading.
CV + Cover Letter + LinkedIn Profile
$595 + GST
LinkedIn is your online CV, and employers use it daily to find and screen candidates. I’ll align your CV, Cover Letter, and LinkedIn profile so they:
Tell a clear, consistent story.
Present yourself professionally.
Help you show up in recruiter searches.
This package makes sure you look credible and interview-ready wherever employers check.
Extra/Updated CV
$150 + GST
Ideal when you’re applying for more than one role. I tailor your CV to a new job or employer, refining the language and reshaping your experience to match what that role is asking for clearly.
Extra Cover Letter
$150 + GST
One role rarely fits one letter. This add-on gives you a fresh, targeted cover letter that speaks directly to a specific job, employer, or sector - without starting from scratch.
LinkedIn Makeover
$250 + GST
Your CV gets you shortlisted. LinkedIn gets you noticed. I rewrite and optimise your profile so recruiters can find you, quickly understand your value, and see a clear match for the roles you want.
Executive & Board CV
$595 + GST
Built for senior leaders and governors. You get a sharp, credible CV that shows your impact, decision-making, and leadership at the right level so Boards and executive recruiters can quickly see your value.
ACC Return to Work
$495 + GST
Practical CV and job-search support for people coming back to work after injury. We follow the ACC pathway so clients can focus on recovery while preparing for safe, realistic next steps.
Redundancy Package
$495 + GST
Straight-up support for employers and staff during change. We help people understand their options, rebuild confidence, and leave with a clear, professional CV that helps them move forward.
CV Review
$150 + GST
Written feedback on what’s working, what’s holding you back, and exactly how to improve your CV so it gets noticed by employers.
Application Form
$250 + GST
Professional writing support for role-specific application and selection questions, so your experience comes through clearly and convincingly.
SEEK Profile
$150 + GST
Your digital CV, updated and optimised so employers can quickly see your skills, experience, and value when they view your profile.
Interview Preparation
$250 + GST
One hour of focused, practical interview prep. We work through likely questions, your key stories, and how to answer with confidence. You also get follow-up support, so you’re not walking into the interview on your own.
Urgent Fee
$150 + GST
Need it fast? This option moves your work to the front of the queue and delivers within 48 hours, Monday to Friday. Ideal when a deadline pops up and waiting isn’t an option.
