Interview simulator: practise before the real thing

CV score: check the overall quality of your CV
Upload or paste your CV to get an overall quality score, a breakdown by category, and a prioritised list of fixes. This is the quickest way to spot structural and formatting issues before you apply anywhere.

Paste your CV and the job description side by side and get an instant match score, a list of missing keywords, and clear suggestions for closing the gap. This is the fastest way to know if your application is likely to pass the initial screening.

Why job seekers use these tools
Applying for jobs today usually means your CV is read by software before it is ever read by a human. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan for keywords, parse your work history into fields, and rank candidates before a recruiter opens the file. A CV that looks great on paper can still be filtered out if it is formatted awkwardly or missing the terms the employer searched for.
At the same time, hiring managers still expect a personal, well-argued cover letter and a confident, structured interview performance. Getting all three right at once, a machine-readable CV, a persuasive letter, and clear interview answers, is what separates candidates who get interviews from candidates who get silence.
These tools are designed to close that gap quickly. Instead of guessing whether your CV is 'good enough', you get a specific score, a list of missing keywords, and rewritten bullet points you can use immediately.
Compare the CV tools
We built five CV tools because 'improve my CV' means different things depending on where you are in your job search. Use the table below to pick the right one for your situation.
| Tool | Best for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| CV Builder | Starting from scratch | A complete, formatted CV built section by section |
| CV vs Job Match | You have a specific job advert | A match score against that exact advert, plus missing keywords |
| CV Review | You have a target role but no single advert | Feedback on how well your CV fits that type of role |
| CV Score | You want a general health check | An overall quality score covering structure, clarity and ATS-friendliness |
| Improve my CV | You already have a CV and want it rewritten | A rewritten version with stronger, quantified bullet points |
How the CV vs Job Match tool works
This is the tool most candidates should try first when they have a specific vacancy in mind. You paste your CV and the job advert, and the tool compares the two, highlighting the skills and keywords the employer mentions that your CV does not currently reflect.
The output includes a percentage match score, a list of missing keywords ranked by importance, and specific suggestions for where in your CV to add them. Because ATS software often relies on exact keyword matches, this single step can meaningfully change whether your application is shortlisted.
Writing a cover letter that adds value
A cover letter should never repeat your CV. Its job is to explain why you specifically want this role and this organisation, and to connect two or three of your strongest achievements to what the advert is asking for. Our cover letter tools cover every starting point: from a CV and job advert, from a short brief about yourself, from your CV alone, or by improving and scoring a letter you already wrote.
Because tone matters as much as content, every generator lets you choose between professional, direct, enthusiastic and formal registers, so the result sounds like you rather than like a template.
Practising interviews before the real thing
The interview simulator generates realistic questions based on the role, seniority level and, optionally, your own CV, so the practice session reflects what you will actually be asked. You can answer in writing or by voice, and you receive structured feedback after each answer and an overall score at the end.
Many candidates find that the biggest improvement is not in the content of their answers but in how they are structured. Practising even three or four times with immediate feedback tends to make answers noticeably tighter and more confident.
CV examples by role

Guides and articles
Our guides go deeper into specific challenges: writing a cover letter with no work experience, passing automated CV screening, answering the most common interview questions using the STAR method, and more. They are written to be read once and referred back to before every application.
Frequently asked questions
Are these tools really free to use?
Yes, the core tools on this hub, the CV builder, CV scoring, cover letter generators and interview simulator, are free to use.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required to try the tools. You can paste or upload your documents directly and get results immediately.
Will my CV and personal details be stored?
Your documents are used only to generate the results you request. See our privacy and cookie policy for full details on how data is handled.
Which tool should I use first?
If you already have a job advert you want to apply to, start with the CV vs Job Match tool. If you are starting from nothing, use the CV Builder.
Do these tools work for any country or industry?
Yes, the tools are designed for an international audience and adapt to different CV conventions, including whether a photo, date of birth or nationality should be included, which varies significantly by country.
Can I use the same CV for multiple job applications?
You can keep one base CV, but we recommend tailoring it slightly for each application using the CV vs Job Match tool, since ATS systems reward relevance to the specific advert.
Is a resume the same as a CV?
In everyday use, 'resume' and 'CV' refer to the same one-to-two page document summarising your work history in most English-speaking countries, except in academia and a few markets where 'CV' means a longer, comprehensive record.
