Most CVs aren't bad — they're just unclear
The difference between a CV that gets an interview and one that doesn't is rarely about qualifications. It's usually smaller than that: a vague sentence where a specific result should be, a missing date, a skills section that doesn't match the job at all. Those are easy to miss when you've read your own CV twenty times.
This review looks at your CV the way a recruiter actually reads it — quickly, looking for reasons to say no — and flags exactly where it gives them one.

What the review actually checks
Line-by-line clarity check
Flags vague phrasing and tells you what a stronger version would include.
Missing sections detector
Catches gaps like missing dates, no summary, or an empty skills section before a recruiter notices them.
Impact check
Flags bullet points that describe a duty instead of a result.
ATS compatibility scan
Checks formatting choices that could stop a system from reading your CV correctly.
Plain-English explanations
Every flag says why it matters, not just that it's wrong.
Three steps, under a minute
- 1
Upload your CV. PDF or Word — no account needed to see your results.
- 2
Get it marked up. See exactly which lines and sections are flagged, and why.
- 3
Fix it inside the builder. Jump straight into editing the flagged sections without starting from scratch.
Why a review before you apply is worth a minute
- Catches what you can't see anymore — you've read your own CV too many times to notice its blind spots.
- Turns vague feedback into specific fixes — not "make it stronger," but "this exact line, this exact reason."
- Free look before you commit — see what's wrong before deciding whether to rebuild.
- Faster than guessing — no more wondering if a recruiter will read past your first section.
What the review covers
The review covers line-by-line clarity, missing sections (dates, summary, skills), impact strength (results versus duties), and ATS compatibility (formatting and keywords) — and every flag comes with a plain-language explanation.
Before and after a review
University society membership
Member of the university marketing society, helped organise events.
Co-led a 6-person events team for the university Marketing Society, growing event attendance from 40 to 150+ students in one academic year.
Why it works: Flag: passive language ("helped") and no numbers — reads like attendance, not contribution.
An unexplained career gap
Gap shown between 2022–2023, no explanation.
2022–2023: Relocated to the UK from Lagos, Nigeria — completed an ESOL Level 2 qualification and a 10-week customer service course while securing right-to-work status, graduating top of a 25-person cohort.
Why it works: Flag: unexplained gap. Without context, a recruiter may assume the worst instead of what actually happened.
Frequently asked questions
Is the CV review really free?
Yes — checking your CV and seeing every flagged issue is free, with no limits and no signup. Automatically rewriting the flagged lines for you, or fixing grammar throughout, are part of our paid plans.
What file types can I upload?
PDF and Word (.docx) are both supported.
Will it tell me how to fix the issues, or just point them out?
Both. Every flag includes a plain-English explanation of why it matters, and you can jump straight into the builder to fix it.
Is this the same as the CV score tool?
They're related but different: the score tool gives you a single number and a breakdown by category. The review gives you specific, line-by-line comments — like a person reading your CV and telling you exactly what to change.
Is my CV data kept private?
Your CV is used only to generate your review and is not shared with third parties.
