Questions people ask
Do I need a CV for a kitchen porter job?
Many employers ask for one, even a short one. A clear one-page CV with your kitchen experience and availability is usually enough.
What if I have no kitchen experience yet?
Show related work where you were reliable and followed rules, such as cleaning, warehouse or farm work. The grader may suggest clearer wording for those lines.
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.
