CV writers are often misunderstood — seen either as miracle workers or unnecessary editors. In this episode, we take a calm, practical look at what CV writers actually do, why the role exists, and where expectations often drift away from reality. We explore the constraints of hiring systems, the challenges of writing about your own career, and why outcomes vary so widely depending on context, seniority, and market conditions. Rather than offering advice or shortcuts, this conversation focuses on understanding the role itself and the problem it’s trying to solve.
