Free CV check

Tailor your CV to one real job

Sign in to your Jobvance account. You need your CV and the full ad for one job you want. The check has three stages: Add your CV and the job, Review changes, and Download.

1. Open the free CV check. In Add your CV and the job, choose Upload your CV (PDF, Word or text, up to 5 MB) or paste into Your CV. Read the text, fix any reading errors in dates and headings, and remove anything you would not share with an employer.
2. Paste the full ad into The job description, including responsibilities, requirements and conditions. Job title is read from the ad, so check it and correct it if needed. Company (optional) can stay empty.
3. Select Tailor my CV for this job. This sends your CV and the job description to our AI provider, which may only reword, reorder or summarise lines already in your CV. To keep everything on this device, select Compare without AI instead.
4. In Review changes, read What changed for this job. Each Now line sits beside Your original, the line of your CV it came from. Select Keep my original for any wording you could not explain in an interview, or Remove this summary for an added profile summary you do not want.
5. Answer Quick questions (answer only if true) only when the answer is true; selecting a question opens it in Add something the job asks for (optional). Read Your tailored CV, or Your CV for this job if you compared without AI, and edit anything. Keep dates and numbers exact, then select Continue to download.
6. In Download, read the final CV. The PDF preview appears automatically and is the exact file you download. Choose Maximum PDF length, or use Open the exact PDF preview in a new tab if the panel is blank. Tick I have checked this CV. It is accurate and safe to share with employers. Then select Download PDF, Download Word or Download TXT.

Job Loop

Start when you do not have a CV yet

Build your first CV from guided questions in Job Loop. Your own answers become a draft to review before saving; no existing CV is needed.

1. Open Job Loop and sign in. Choose My CV & experience, then open No CV yet? Build one with guided questions. You can also select No CV yet? Build one here beside the source CV text.
2. Answer What name should appear on your CV?, then describe work, projects or volunteering and what you studied. Include organisation, role, dates and your own contribution. Contact details, an introduction and skills are optional. Paid work is not required.
3. Select Preview my CV draft and read Review your draft. The builder arranges your answers without adding facts. Label academic work, estimates and courses still in progress correctly. Add more detail if the draft is shorter than 80 characters.
4. Select Use this CV draft. If a source CV is already open, first confirm Replace my current source CV draft with these answers. My saved record changes only when I save it. Use Undo CV builder replacement while the draft is still unchanged if you need the previous source back.
5. Read the copied source, select Continue with this text, check your name, Target roles and Locations, then choose private saving separately. Confirm only accurate, shareable facts before running preparation. Building a draft does not save it, approve it or start a run.
6. Prefer to prepare for one vacancy first? You can write a plain text draft with education, experience and project headings, then paste it into the free CV Check. Review the proposed changes and final document before downloading.

Starting example

University analytics project, 2026. In a four-person team, I cleaned the survey data and built the charts. Our proposed improvement was an estimate; no business result was measured.

Read a file, fix extracted text or convert an old CV

Use an English CV as a text-based PDF, DOCX or UTF-8 TXT file, up to 5 MB. You can paste text instead.

1. In the free check, under Add your CV and the job, choose Upload your CV (PDF, Word or text, up to 5 MB); the text it reads appears in Your CV. In Job Loop, open My CV & experience, then 1. Import or paste your CV and choose Read a local CV on this device.
2. Select a PDF, DOCX or TXT file of 5 MB or less. The original file stays on your device. Reading a file is separate from choosing to save the extracted text to your account.
3. If a scanned PDF has no readable text, use OCR in a document tool you trust, or copy text from the original document. Review the OCR output carefully, then paste it or save a text-based PDF, DOCX or TXT file. Jobvance does not perform OCR here.
4. For an old .doc file, open it in your word processor and save a .docx, text-based PDF or TXT copy. Renaming the extension does not convert a document.
5. If the file is empty, too large or has scrambled lines, export a smaller text-based copy or paste the correct text. Check names, dates, bullets, course headings and numbers before continuing.

Privacy & recovery

Remove selected source lines before reusing your CV

Remove confidential or sensitive information from the free check’s reusable source. Choose exact lines, preview both CV versions, then decide whether to apply the removal.

1. Open Reuse these edits later (optional): in Review changes it is under More options, and in Download it follows the final CV preview. Then open Choose source lines to remove. Read each complete numbered line and select only the Remove source line checkboxes you intend to remove.
2. Select Preview selected line removals. Read Reusable source after removal and Current CV after removal before changing either version. Remove selected lines applies only after this preview. Cancel line removal leaves the source unchanged.
3. Select Remove selected lines when both previews are correct. The selected source lines and every identical complete line in the current CV are removed. If the current CV contains an edited or differently worded version of that passage, inspect and remove it manually too.
4. The check returns to Review changes and compares the shorter CV with the job again. The PDF preview and your confirmation are cleared. Review the remaining headings, context and current CV, select Continue to download, and tick the confirmation again before downloading.
5. If you removed the wrong lines, use Undo source-line removal while the page stays open. It restores the previous source and current CV, including removed details; review again before you tick the confirmation. Leaving or refreshing the page loses this undo.

Review the experience saved in your career record

Review each example with its original context, your contribution and the result before reusing it in an application.

1. Open My CV & experience and Your claim library. Review the next copied passage, select Suggest literal passages if available, or open Add my own specific example.
2. Choose Evidence context yourself: employment, internship, academic project, personal project, volunteering, education or skill. Keep academic and personal projects in their original categories when you use them for a job application.
3. Open Inspect or correct the source and context (or Source and factual wording for your own example). Choose Source of this statement. Keep the complete line or passage in Source passage or my answer, including team credit, dates and estimate wording.
4. Use the nearby course, project or employer heading in Source context label. In Wording I can substantiate, describe your own accurate contribution. For My own answer, make the source answer a complete statement with contribution and context.
5. Choose Result status: No measured result stated, Projected or estimated, or Measured result. An estimate stays an estimate. Check factual accuracy and permission for external use only when both are true, then select Save claim.

Source passage or my answer

Expand shorthand such as “Excel, 25%” into a complete statement: what you did, the setting and any qualifications to the result. Your confirmation records your own review; it is not independent verification.

Wording I can substantiate

For example, “I analysed the survey data in a four-person MBA team” states the action and team context. Keep that detail when shortening or rewording the example.

Result status

Keep projected benefits, team outcomes and personally measured results distinct. A degree, certificate or required license must be stated accurately; matching words do not verify it.

1. Open Opportunities, or select Add a vacancy I already found on Today.

Prepare applications and manage recurring preparation

Start preparation using your confirmed experience, check the results, and choose whether to enable a schedule or an available connection.

1. Save or discard all career record and claim edits. Check that at least one active fact is both confirmed and shareable, and add the vacancy you want to prepare for.
2. On Today, read Prepare a cloud run. Choose Preparation provider. Source-based preparation · no AI uses cleared facts without an external model. An available AI model needs explicit permission for that selected provider and processing route.
3. Select Prepare today’s applications only when the service reports it available. If cloud processing is not configured, processing capacity is unavailable or the allowance is exhausted, use saved records and manual tracking or the free check. Preparation waits for the selected provider to be available rather than switching providers.
4. Read Run history & source coverage. Check the status and message for each source and task. For partial, blocked or failed runs, review any usable results and note what still needs to finish. Use Resume run when available after addressing the stated issue. Use Cancel run for a queued or running job, then refresh to confirm its state.
5. Open Optional recurring preparation only if you want it. Check Preparation cadence, Local preparation time and Schedule timezone, then opt in and select Enable recurring preparation. Read the actual saved next run. Pause schedule stops future scheduling and retains the current run. Cancel schedule also cancels its latest scheduled run if that run is queued or running. A separately started manual run has its own Cancel run. Refresh records to confirm the result.
6. Open Optional Gmail access only if you need it and access is available. Select chosen permissions, connect, and confirm the returned mailbox. Reading recruitment messages requires separate run consent; draft creation requires its own checks. Use Disconnect Gmail to stop future connection use.

Recover a draft or an interrupted check safely

Page navigation, refresh and account saving have different recovery limits. Restored drafts must be read and approved again.

1. If you followed a help link from the free check, return to /check in the same tab within 30 minutes. The working text can return from tab memory. Read the restored draft; your confirmation is cleared, so tick it again before downloading.
2. If you need the free-check draft after refresh, open Draft recovery (optional) and check Keep my draft in this tab across refresh before refreshing. This stores the CV and vacancy in the tab for 30 minutes after your last change. Closing the tab or clearing the draft removes this temporary copy.
3. For Google sign-in from the free check, check Keep my CV and job description in this tab while I sign in with Google before leaving. Return in the same tab within 30 minutes. The temporary sign-in copy is cleared on return, the check reopens at Review changes, and you tick the confirmation again.
4. In Job Loop, unsaved career record, fact and new-vacancy drafts remain only in this tab’s memory for up to 30 minutes across page navigation. Refresh, closing the tab or changing accounts clears them. Recovered confirmations for facts and contact details are reset; read and confirm them again.
5. Saved account records are separate from temporary drafts. Sign in to the same account, reopen a saved check or use Refresh records in Job Loop. A cloud run may still be progressing even when local edits are gone.
6. If recovery has expired or the browser cannot retain the draft, paste your source again or open your saved account version. Clear & start again, followed by Clear current check, removes the open free check and its temporary sign-in draft. Use Contact if a repeatable service problem remains.
