Tailor your CV to one job advert
Rewrite the CV you already have against one specific advert, with every figure in it still coming from you.
Five free credits every month, renewing automatically. No card needed to start.
You have one CV. It took a weekend to write and it is honest. Then you find an advert that wants nine tenths of what you have already done, described in words you have never used. Rewriting the whole document by hand for one application is the reason most people send the general version instead. The CV generator takes the CV you already have, plus that one advert, and rewrites one against the other: the vocabulary, the order of the bullets, which roles earn space on two pages and which ones stop earning it. It changes how your experience is presented. It does not change what your experience is.
Two pages, and every figure already yours
What comes back is a finished CV, not a list of suggestions. Reverse chronological order. Your contact details, a headline matching the advertised job title, a summary written as connected prose rather than bullets, a skills grid of six to twelve competencies drawn from the advert, and three to five roles chosen for how closely they answer it. Older or unrelated jobs compress into a further career summary, one line each, so your dates stay unbroken without spending half a page on a job from 2009. The whole document is capped under 9,000 characters, about two sides of A4. Years without months, no personal pronouns, and key skills in the two-column UK grid.
Underneath all of that sits one rule that does not bend. Every figure in the output must already appear in the CV you supplied. Percentages, team sizes, budgets, caseloads, response times, all of it. If a role in your CV carries no numbers, the bullets for that role come back qualitative. It will not estimate, round up or infer a figure to make a bullet land harder.
When a rewrite is the right move
"I have been sending the same CV since March." This is worth doing when you have one specific advert open in front of you, not before. With no advert, there is nothing to tailor towards, and you are back to writing a CV for everybody.
"The advert is basically my job with different words on it." The easiest case, and the most common. The evidence is already there, described in your last employer's vocabulary rather than this one's.
"I am applying into a different field." Harder, and worth being clear about. A rewrite changes emphasis and language. It does not change your history, and it will not conceal a qualification you do not hold.
"There are three adverts open and I have an evening." Each advert is a separate run against a separate job description. There is no batch mode, and two adverts do not produce the same document twice.
What happens after you press generate
- Hand it your CV. Paste the text, upload a PDF or a Word .docx, or generate from your saved career profile if you have built one. Scanned PDFs are refused, because there is no text layer in them to read and there is no OCR step to add one, and you are told that rather than left watching a spinner. The cap is 20,000 characters.
- Paste the advert. Up to 10,000 characters. Put the role title and the company name in their own fields as well, so the headline and the wording match the job you are actually applying for.
- Set the register. Formality runs casual, neutral, formal and very formal. Formal drops contractions entirely and leans on measured, precise sentences. Output language is a separate setting.
- Submit. Credits come off at submission, before a word is written, so a closed tab or an abandoned run still costs you.
- Read it back against the advert. The draft is editable in place, and downloads as a PDF or a Word file when you are happy with it.
Three bullets, before and after
Example
The advert
A regional insurer hiring a complaints handler. It asks for case ownership from first contact to resolution, written responses to customers, and someone comfortable escalating a technical dispute.
Before, as your CV has it
Responsible for handling customer complaints and escalating where necessary. Around 30 cases a week.
After, tailored to that advert
Owned around 30 complaint cases a week from first contact through to the written response, escalating technical disputes to the specialist team.
The 30 survived because it was already on the page. "Owned" and "from first contact through to the written response" answer the advert's language about case ownership, using your facts instead of its adjectives.
A second pair, where there is no number
Before.
Helped train new starters on the complaints system.
After.
Inducted new starters on the complaints system, covering case notes, the tone of written replies, and when to escalate.
Nothing in that pair is quantified, because nothing in the source was. "Trained six new starters" would have read better and would have been an invention, so it does not appear. The bullet gets longer by describing the work, not by acquiring a number.
And one line that did not survive
The same CV also mentioned covering reception and ordering stationery. The advert asks for neither. On two pages that line costs room a complaints example could use, so it drops to the further career summary rather than being written out in full.
Where it stops
It will not add experience you do not have. If the advert wants three years of line management and your CV has none, the rewrite says nothing about line management, and you will see the hole where it should be.
It is AI. No person reads your CV before it comes back and no editor checks it afterwards, so read the draft before you send it. You are the only one who knows whether a sentence in it is fair.
It is not run against a real applicant tracking system, and it produces no percentage and no rating. And it cannot apply for you. Nothing is submitted anywhere on your behalf, by this or any other part of Career Auntie.
Each rewrite costs 1.45 credits
A tailored CV costs 1.45 credits. Every account gets five free credits a month, renewing automatically, with no card needed to start, so the first few adverts cost you nothing at all.
Generating the CV and a cover letter in the same run costs 2.45. If you are applying steadily, Premium is £10 a month for 200 credits, and top-up credits are £1 for 10, minimum 30, which do not expire. Credits are taken at submission, so a run you abandon halfway is still spent.
Common questions
Will it add achievements that are not in my CV?
No. Every figure in the output has to appear in the CV you supplied, and where a role carries no numbers, the bullets for that role come back qualitative. It will not estimate a percentage or a team size to fill a gap. What changes is wording, ordering and emphasis, not the facts underneath.
Can I use it if I do not have a CV file?
Yes. You can paste plain text, or build a career profile once and generate from that instead. The profile holds your work experience, education, skills and contact details, so the next advert does not mean typing it all again. Importing from a CV is free the first time.
How long will the CV be?
About two pages. The output is capped at 9,000 characters and carries three to five roles rather than everything you have ever done. Less relevant jobs compress into a one-line further career summary, so your dates stay unbroken without a page going to a job from years ago.
Does it work with a scanned PDF?
No, and it will say so rather than failing quietly. A scan or a photograph of a printed CV has no text layer to read, and there is no OCR step to add one. Export a fresh PDF from your word processor, upload the Word .docx, or paste the text in directly.
Do I have to run it again for the next advert?
Yes, and that is rather the point. A CV tailored to one advert is shaped by that advert's language and priorities. Running it again against a different job costs another 1.45 credits, and the two versions will not be the same document with a new job title dropped on top.
Can I edit what comes back?
Yes. The draft is editable in place before you download it as a PDF or a Word file, and an AI edit of one section costs three quarters of a credit. Nothing leaves Career Auntie until you send it yourself: it does not apply to jobs on your behalf.
