The problem

Recruiters do not read your CV. They scan it.

They decide fast, and they decide on things nobody ever tells you. Most people never find out which line cost them the interview, because nobody is paid to tell them.

Purpose and strategy

A CV is a hook, not a record

One accomplishment you are proudest of becomes the backbone. Every role leads to it. Responsibilities come out entirely, because nobody cares what you were supposed to do.

Format and structure

Two pages. No decoration.

No graphs, columns or photographs. A fixed section order. A personal statement of three or four sentences with no blanket claims. Interests matter more than you think.

Highlighting successes · half the score

Evidence, not duties

Accomplished X, as measured by Y, by doing Z. Verb-led, specific, varied. This is the brains of the document and it is where most CVs quietly fall apart.

The single most useful thing we can tell you

Numbers that measure size are weaker than numbers that measure change.

"Six hundred thousand in revenue." "A team of forty." "Sixteen hundred outreach touches." Each tells a reader how big the thing was. None tells them whether anything got better. One before-and-after number is worth three static ones, and this is where genuinely impressive CVs lose the most ground.

What arrives in your inbox

Two documents, and no flattery in either.

01

The Health Check

What is working. What is quietly costing you interviews. A ranked list of what to fix first, in plain language, in Maria's voice. If a strong document produces few findings, you get few findings. It does not manufacture criticism to look thorough.

02

The revised CV

Rebuilt against the method and returned as an editable document. Every change is traceable to something already on your page. Where the proof is missing, it asks you for it in place rather than inventing it.

03

The questions

The specific gaps between a good CV and yours, written as questions only you can answer. Fill them in and the document gets significantly stronger. Nobody can live your life for you, or write the CV for you.

How the rewrite behaves

It will never make up a number on your behalf.

A tool that invents a plausible percentage destroys you in the first interview. So where the evidence is missing, it leaves you a question instead.

Your line Responsible for managing the outbound sales function and the wider commercial team.
Rewritten Rebuilt outbound from a standing start, taking the team from [ADD: what was the monthly meeting count before you arrived?] to [ADD: and what was it six months later?] across 1,600 touches.

Each bracket is a real gap in your evidence. Answer them and the page changes completely.

Nobody can live your life for you, or write the CV for you.

Worth saying plainly

This is the first twenty, and we are telling you that.

You are buying an early version at an early price. In exchange we would like your honest reaction afterwards, and we will ask for it once, briefly. If what comes back is not useful to you, say so and we will refund you in full. Keep the documents either way.

Questions

Before you decide

Because we want to know whether people will pay for this at all before building it properly, and twenty honest reactions are worth more to us right now than the money. The price goes up when it opens to everyone.

Yes. Every one of the twenty is read before it is sent. That is possible at twenty and it is the reason the number is twenty.

It is stored securely, used only to produce your review, never shared with anyone, and deleted on request at any time. Just reply to any email and ask.

You will not be penalised for figures you are contractually forbidden from printing. Senior candidates are scored on the criteria that actually apply to them, and there are ways to show scale without breaching anything.

The health check as a PDF to read. The rewritten CV as an editable Word document, because you will want to fill in the bracketed questions yourself.

Join the waitlist and you will be first to hear when it opens properly, at founding-member pricing. You also get Maria's one-page CV checklist immediately.
