I had been sending the same CV for months with no replies. After switching templates I got three interview invites in two weeks.
Took me about 20 minutes to put together. The layout is clean and recruiters actually commented on how easy it was to read.
Great templates and the PDF export looks exactly like the preview. I only wish there were a few more colour options.
I was changing careers and had no idea how to present it. The section suggestions helped me put my transferable skills first.
Simple to use, no clutter. Made one CV in English and one in German for jobs abroad without starting from scratch.
Does what it promises. Editing on my phone was a bit fiddly, but on a laptop it was quick and the result looked professional.
The short version of how the free plan, the AI and the one-time payments work.
See the full pricingYes. Generating, previewing and downloading a PDF costs nothing and needs no account: the Basic template comes without a watermark, the other layouts with a small one. A clean PDF of those is a single payment of $4.90, or $29 gets you 30 days of everything, with nothing renewing.
Not to build your CV or download the free PDF. An account is only needed to save the CV and edit it later. A single clean PDF can be bought without one; the Job Search Pack needs an account.
No. It structures what you wrote and improves the wording, but it never adds employers, dates, numbers or skills you did not give it. You still review every line before you send it.
The templates use plain, single-flow layouts that parsers handle well, and the ATS checker in the Job Search Pack shows you exactly how a system reads your CV so you can fix issues before applying.
Your account goes back to the free plan and every PDF you downloaded stays yours. Your CV website goes offline until you get another pack, which lets you publish it again.
Yes. Copy the text of your LinkedIn profile (the About, Experience and Education sections are enough) and paste it into the generator. The AI turns it into a structured, editable CV.
Your CV got you invited. Now you have to tell it out loud. About three and a half hours of preparation, spread over two or three days, covers most of what you will be asked.
