The first step is simply to reach out, via WhatsApp, email, or the contact form on this website. Tell us what you are applying for or working on, and we will recommend the right package for your situation. If you are not sure which documents you need, that is fine, that is exactly what the first conversation is for. We respond within 24 hours, usually much sooner.

It depends on the service, but generally we need: your existing CV or professional history, the specific opportunity you are applying for (job advert, Terms of Reference, fellowship brief, scholarship guidelines), and any documents or notes you already have. The more context you give us, the more tailored the output.
Absolutely. We work with professionals across East Africa/Africa and beyond - Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Africa, and clients in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia, etc. All our services are delivered remotely via email and WhatsApp, so location is never a barrier. We have served professionals at UNHCR, UNOPS, BAFTA, Standard Chartered, and many other international organisations.
CV & Cover Letter: 48 hours
LinkedIn Profile: 48 - 72 hours
Fellowship / Scholarship Package: 5-7 business days

If you have an urgent deadline, we offer a rush delivery option (additional fee applies). Please mention your deadline when you get in touch, and we will confirm whether rush delivery is available.
All packages include at least two rounds of revisions. A revision means you review the draft, share your feedback, and we refine the document accordingly. In practice, most clients are happy after the first or second draft, but we stay with you until you are fully satisfied with the result.
Your satisfaction is not optional for us; it is the standard. If, after your included revision rounds, you feel the document has not met your expectations, contact us, and we will work with you to understand the gap and address it. We have never left a client with a document they were unhappy with. Our reputation is built entirely on results and word of mouth.
No, and any service that promises guaranteed outcomes is not being honest with you. What we can guarantee is that your documents will be professional, compelling, tailored to the specific opportunity, and significantly stronger than what most applicants submit. The rest depends on the strength of your background and the competition. What we do know is that 90% of our CV clients are hired within 90 days, and our clients consistently report being shortlisted, called for interviews, and awarded contracts and fellowships at rates they had never achieved before.
"The panel said I had the strongest CV of all the applicants." — GFI Client, shortlisted from 108 candidates
Every document is written specifically for you and the specific opportunity you are pursuing. We study the job advert, Terms of Reference, fellowship brief, or scholarship guidelines before writing a single word. We do not use templates, and we do not recycle content between clients. Generic documents do not win competitive opportunities, tailored ones do. That is the entire basis of what we do.
Pricing varies by package and complexity. See our Price List for more information. We also offer returning client discounts for professionals who have used GFI before.
Completely. All client information: your CV, career history, personal statement, business details, bid documents - is treated with strict confidentiality. We do not share your information with third parties, and we do not use your documents as samples without your explicit written permission. Your privacy and the integrity of your application are non-negotiable for us.
For larger packages: consultancy bids, fellowship packages, academic proposals, we can discuss a split payment arrangement: a deposit to begin work, and the balance upon completion of the order. Contact us to discuss your situation, and we will find an approach that works. We want access to quality professional support to be as straightforward as possible.
