68
/ 100

Example CV check

A solid mid-level project-manager CV that undersells its impact — strong experience, but achievements read as duties and it's missing keywords these roles screen for.

✓ Working for you

  • Clear progression across 7 years of project delivery
  • Relevant certifications (PRINCE2, Agile) called out up front

⚡ Holding you back

  • Bullets describe duties (“managed stakeholders”) rather than quantified outcomes
  • No budget or timeline figures to evidence the scale you've worked at

Plus 6 keywords these roles ask for that the CV is missing.

Example output — your real check is based on your own CV.

What the free check looks at

In a few seconds you get an honest score out of 100 and a quick read on the biggest things helping and hurting your CV — fast triage before you send another application:

  • Impact — whether your achievements are quantified, or just a list of duties
  • Clarity & polish — vague filler, structure, and obvious red flags
  • Keyword coverage — a count of important keywords your target roles want but your CV is missing
  • Seniority signals — whether the CV backs up the level you're aiming for

Common issues it spots

Bullets that describe duties, not results
Filler like 'various tasks' or 'helped the team'
No metrics or quantified outcomes
Missing keywords for your target roles
A weak or generic summary
Seniority claims not backed by evidence

FAQ

Is it really free?
Yes — the CV check is free with no account. The full review is an optional A$9.

Do you store my CV?
No. It's read in your browser and the stripped text is checked only to produce your score, then discarded.

How is this different from the A$9 review?
The free check is a quick triage. The full AI CV review matches your CV to live jobs first, then shows the exact missing keywords, rewrites and a prioritised plan.

How long does it take?
A few seconds.
