CV Writing Service, or Make It Yourself

“This is an invitation to replace analysis by slogans, to be guided by grand dogma, either of one kind, or of another.”
Amartya Sen, Nobel Banquet speech, Stockholm, 10 December 1998

Sen was talking about economics, not job applications, but the line lands squarely on a CV. “Hardworking and sincere” is a slogan. “Steel fixer, four years, tower foundations in Dubai, reads drawings” is analysis. The first tells a stranger nothing they can check; the second tells them whether to call you. Everything below is about getting the second kind onto one page, whether you type it yourself or we write it for you.

Two routes to the same document

A CV for a trade or general worker job is not a literary exercise. It is a one-page answer to five questions: which job, how many years, where, whether you can travel, and which languages you work in. Both routes below produce that page. They differ in who does the typing.

	Make it yourself	Have it written
What it costs	Nothing	350 AED, about ₹9,100
What you do	Fill in the boxes on your phone	Tell us the details on WhatsApp or a call
What you get	A one-page A4 CV you print or save as a PDF	A print-ready PDF and an editable Word file
Changes later	Edit it yourself, any time	Two rounds of changes included
Where your details sit	On your own phone, nothing sent to us	With us, because we are writing it
Who it suits	Most people	People who would rather not type it

What the CV maker does

The CV maker works in a phone browser and costs nothing to use. It asks nine sections of questions, in plain words, and the CV is built beside you as you type:

Your photo, which you can drag and zoom until it sits properly in the frame.
About you, the job you want, your work and your studies. Write one job on each line with the years, and the page works out how long each one lasted.
Your passport, which is optional, because a CV gets forwarded and a passport number is not something to scatter.
Two optional sections: a professional summary and a list of core competencies. Leave them off and the CV stays short; switch them on and they appear as you type.
Your signature, drawn with a finger or a mouse, or uploaded as a photo.

It prints on A4. If you have a lot of experience it runs onto a second or third sheet rather than squeezing everything onto one, and the page tells you how many sheets it will be. The draft stays on your own phone, and nothing you type is sent to us.

What 350 AED buys

If you would rather hand it over, we write it. The price is 350 AED, about ₹9,100 at today's rate, and it is the same price for the Middle East and for India. For that you get:

A conversation, not a form. We take your details on WhatsApp or a call, in the language you are comfortable in, and ask the follow-up questions a form cannot.
The CV written for you, in the plain, checkable style described above, with your work set out the way an employer abroad reads it.
A print-ready PDF and an editable Word file, so you can change it yourself later without coming back to us.
Two rounds of changes after you have read it.

What it does not buy. A written CV is a document, not an outcome. It does not create experience you do not have, it does not change what a visa category requires, and nobody, including us, can promise you a job because of it. If anyone tells you a paid CV moves you up a queue, they are selling you something else. The service is optional, and applying to our vacancies never depends on it.

Which one do you actually need?

Be honest about the answer, because it is usually the tool. Type it yourself if you can read and write comfortably in English, your work history is straightforward, and you have twenty unhurried minutes on a phone. That covers most candidates for most roles.

Paying makes sense in narrower cases: a long or complicated history across several countries and employers, a trade where the detail decides the pay band and you are not sure which detail matters, English you would rather not write in yourself, or simply no patience for forms. None of those is a failing, and none of them is most people.

Where Disha fits, honestly

Disha Global Workforce recruits candidates with Non-ECR passports and a minimum qualification of 10+2, for the countries we actually serve in the Gulf, Southeast Asia and parts of Europe. The CV maker is there for anyone, whether or not they ever apply to us, and using it signs you up for nothing.

The writing service is a separate, optional thing you buy, and it is priced on this page so you can decide before you ask. Applying to us costs nothing, and any service fee that applies to a placement is explained to you in writing, with a receipt, before you pay it, and is never an illegal or inflated amount.

Start with the one that costs nothing

Open the CV maker and see how far you get. If you would rather we wrote it, say so on WhatsApp and we will tell you exactly what we need from you.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a way to make a CV without paying?

Yes. The CV maker on this site costs nothing to use, asks the same questions we would ask you, and builds a one-page A4 CV as you type. You print it or save it as a PDF on your own phone. Most people need nothing more than that.

What does the 350 AED CV writing service include?

We take your details on WhatsApp or a call, write the CV for you, and send back a print-ready PDF and an editable Word file, with two rounds of changes after you have read it. The price is the same in the Middle East and in India, and the rupee equivalent shown above is converted at the day's exchange rate.

Do I need a professionally written CV to get a job abroad?

No. Employers hiring for trade and general worker roles are looking for the job you want, your years, where you worked and your languages, set out plainly. A CV you typed yourself that answers those questions does that job. Paying for one is a convenience, not a requirement, and it changes nothing about your eligibility.

What format should I send my CV in?

A one-page A4 PDF is the safest thing to send, because it looks the same on every phone and printer. Keep an editable copy as well, so you can update it without starting again. If your history is long, two or three A4 pages is fine; squeezing it into an unreadable single page is worse than using a second sheet.

Is the writing service linked to applying for your vacancies?

No. Applying to our vacancies costs nothing and never depends on buying anything. The writing service is a separate, optional service you can buy if you want it, and any service fee that applies to a placement is a different matter, explained to you in writing with a receipt before any payment.

This article describes the position as it stood on 12 September 2026. The 350 AED price is our own and current at that date. The rupee figure is converted from the day's exchange rate each time the page loads, so it is indicative only, and the dirham figure is the one that applies. Nothing here is legal advice.
