Cover letter, resume & CV proofreading service
Perfect language gets noticed by employers

Wording and clarity matter in a competitive job market. Job applications need to tick so many boxes to compete with other applicants, and your application is no different. The Telegraph reported that employers throw out up to 50% of applications, including those with bad formatting, spelling and grammar errors in them. 

English experts for English language issues

We are a unique collection of editors because, unlike most of our competitors, we require a minimum masters level education in linguistics to join our team. Plus, each editor must be a native English user. These qualities enable us to quickly deliver a quality editorial experience and perfect language for your cover letter, resume or CV.

Add the editing addition to enable us to suggest alternative wording in your sentences to make your language clearer, and offer style fixes to improve the formatting of your cover letter, resume or CV. All of the changes are recorded to allow you to choose what you like and what you don't.

I have been teaching English language for around ten years, mainly working with international students in a university context. I am currently studying for a PhD in Applied Linguistics; I hold an MA in Applied Linguistics and a BA in English Language and Literature. I also have a PGCE in TESOL. I have been working in proofreading and editing for around six years now, and have worked with Mr. Proofread for about four years, alongside my teaching and studying. I am experienced in editing a very wide range of texts, from business reports to novels, and have edited many academic papers. My experience of working with English language from a wide range of perspectives - from teaching university students and seeing the common errors which they can make, to studying the workings of the language theoretically - combines to make my editing smooth, accurate and effective. I'm also always happy to communicate with clients and ensure they receive a service suited to their individual needs.
