Free CV check for United Kingdom
Score your CV against United Kingdom's hiring norms: length, photo, personal details, date format and application language — with concrete fixes and no account needed.
Quick answer
In United Kingdom a CV normally runs to 2 pages, a photo is never, personal details are left out, dates are written as Month YYYY – Month YYYY, and applications are written in English. The check measures your CV against exactly those rules.
Your CV is read on this device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or sent to an AI model for the score.
Get your fixes by email
A recap of your result, the one fix that matters most, and what changes when you tailor per application. Three emails, no drip forever.
We store your address in the EU, use it only for these emails, and delete it on request.
What employers in United Kingdom expect
- — A short personal statement
- — Town and country only, no full address
- — No date of birth or photo
What gets CVs binned
- — Adding a photo or date of birth — both are unusual and can get the CV discarded by agencies.
- — US spellings and 'résumé' as a heading. Use British spelling and call it a CV.
- — Listing every job since school. Summarise anything older than 10—15 years in one line.
- — Salary expectations on the CV. They belong in the conversation, not the document.
