For Professionals

Your Professional English

The way you write can affect how your experience, knowledge and ideas are understood. A strong CV can be weakened by poor structure, an important presentation can lose its impact through unclear wording, and even a short email can give the wrong impression if the tone is not quite right.

We work with CVs, cover letters, applications, professional profiles, reports, presentations, correspondence and other work-related documents. The aim is to make sure that the English represents you clearly and professionally without making you sound like somebody else.

Relevant Information in the Right Place

Professional documents often contain too much information simply because everything feels important to the person writing them. A CV may describe every role in equal detail, an application may repeat points already made elsewhere, or a report may take too long to reach the information the reader actually needs.

We look at structure, relevance and flow, helping to identify what should be brought forward, what can be reduced and where further explanation may be needed. For applications and CVs in particular, the focus is on making your skills and experience easy for the reader to understand.

Tone and Context

The same English is not suitable for every situation. A report to senior management, a presentation to clients and an application for a new role may all require a different tone while still sounding natural and professional.

We can help with grammar, sentence structure, word choice and phrasing, particularly where English is not your first language. Where the meaning is unclear or information is missing, we ask rather than making assumptions about your experience, responsibilities or intentions.

Your Experience Remains Yours

We do not invent achievements, improve job titles or make claims that cannot be supported. The information in your documents must remain accurate. Our role is to help you present what you have actually done in a clear and convincing way.

Before You Send It

A final proofread checks spelling, punctuation, grammar, formatting and presentation before the document is submitted, presented or sent to the person who needs to read it.
