“Jeppe was a great reviewer to work with. He took the time to understand my background properly before making any changes, asked thoughtful questions, and helped me present my experience far more clearly and convincingly. He was honest and practical in his feedback, responded quickly, and kept the process moving smoothly from start to finish. He also shared useful perspective on the job market and where to focus next. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their CV. Also very responsive.”
