CV Grader
Paste your CV and see what a recruiter is likely to notice first, what is missing, and which lines read as vague. Written for people applying in English as a second language.
Who it is for
Job seekers writing a CV in English as a second language, especially when applying in a country with different CV conventions from home — for example moving from a two-page CV with a photo to a shorter one without. It works for any role, from care and warehouse work to office jobs.
What it checks
- English clarity: sentences that are hard to follow or that hide what you did.
- Keyword fit: whether the words an employer or an applicant tracking system may look for are present.
- Country format: conventions for the country you are applying in, such as length, photo and personal details.
- Recruiter clarity: whether a reader can quickly see your role, your results and your level.
How to use it
- Paste the text of your CV (up to about 8,000 characters).
- Choose your first language and the country you are applying in.
- Start with the top fixes — they are ranked by how much they are likely to matter.
What it cannot do
- It reads text only, so it cannot see layout, fonts or design.
- A grade is a guide to what to improve, not a prediction of whether an employer will shortlist you.
- Your CV is processed once and not stored.
Common questions
Does the CV grader check grammar?
It flags English that may be unclear to a recruiter, which often includes grammar. It is not a full proofreading service.
Can it tell me if I will get an interview?
No. It shows what a recruiter may notice and what to fix. Hiring decisions depend on many things it cannot see.
