Anyone Used a CV Proofreading Service in Sharjah? Looking for a Second Pair of Eyes

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Sharjah and I’ve been applying for jobs across the UAE for about two months with almost no replies. I wrote my CV myself, and I’ve read it so many times that I can’t see mistakes any more. A friend recently spotted a typo in my job title and an inconsistent date format, which was embarrassing, and now I’m worried what else I’ve missed.

I don’t think I need a full rewrite. The content is mostly fine, but I’d like someone to check the spelling, grammar, formatting and consistency before I send it out again. I’ve seen a few CV proofreading services in Sharjah advertised, and I’d like to hear from people who have actually used one.

Is proofreading enough, or do most people end up needing a full edit as well?
What should a proofreader check? Spelling and grammar only, or also layout, tense, dates and ATS compatibility?
How much should I expect to pay, and how long does it usually take?
Does it matter if the service is based in Sharjah, or does everything happen online anyway?
Did anyone notice a real difference in responses after getting their CV proofread?
How do I know the proofreader won’t change my wording so much that it stops sounding like me?

I’d also love any tips for catching mistakes yourself, and any red flags to watch for when choosing a service.
