Check your CV
Industry
Works best with 300–1,200 words of plain text.
Methodology
What we check
Six areas that decide whether a hiring manager reads past the first 15 seconds.
Measurable impact
Do your bullet points show results — revenue, cost, time, covers, project value — or only duties?
Keyword relevance
Whether the skills, tools and certifications employers in your industry screen for actually appear.
Structure & length
Clear sections, reverse-chronological order, one to two pages, and no walls of text.
Headline & summary
Does the top third say who you are, what level you work at and what you want next — in three lines?
Language & clarity
Active verbs, no clichés like “team player”, consistent tense, and spelling a manager would notice.
Privacy & contact details
Professional email and phone, city instead of full address, and no date of birth or photo where it isn't expected.
