British Association of CV Writers (BACVW)

CV writing isn’t regulated in the UK and this makes it hard for job seekers to identify good CV writers that will help them secure that all-important interview. If you’re a self-employed, independent CV writer, especially if you work alone, there isn’t a strong community in the UK to share ideas, best practice, and generally collaborate. To address both issues, the British Association of CV Writers (BACVW) was founded. The BACVW is a not-for-profit unincorporated association with the intention of building a community for CV writers, enabling members to: Share best practice, ideas, experience, and information Gain different perspectives Encourage each other Build relationships with fellow CV writers Provide a better client experience and service Jobseekers who employ the services of a BACVW member can be assured that they have agreed to our code of ethics, are committed to continuing professional development, and have passed a basic CV writing test. All this ultimately means that members provide a better service to their clients and jobseekers are protected from CV writers who might not have the values or ethics that the BACVW promotes. Our key aims are to: Ensure that anyone who employs the services of a BACVW member has the assurance that they have passed a basic cv writing test and have agreed to our code of ethics. Provide a welcoming community for CV writers to learn and share.
