The House Method

A good UK CV is not a creative act. It is one written standard.

We run the same 8 rules on every CV we produce. Nothing is left to taste, and every rule is on the page for you to check.

  1. Rule 1: Two pages, at most

    Two A4 pages maximum. One page only for graduates or under 3 years in work.

  2. Rule 2: No photo, ever

    No photo, date of birth, age, nationality or home address. Name, phone, email, town.

  3. Rule 3: Single column only

    No tables, text boxes, sidebars, icons or graphics. These break most UK systems.

  4. Rule 4: Impact, not duties

    Every bullet carries a number or a scale, never “responsible for managing a team”.

  5. Rule 5: British English, standard headings

    Organised, not organized. Personal Profile, Professional Experience, Education, Skills.

  6. Rule 6: A profile that says something

    A Personal Profile of 3 to 4 lines: who you are, your strength, one proof point.

  7. Rule 7: Reverse chronological

    Most recent first, with one consistent UK date format across the whole document.

  8. Rule 8: Delivered as .docx and PDF

    A .docx that parses best, plus a clean PDF that is never a flat image.

Before you pay

Your own words, rewritten to say something.

The scan quotes your CV back to you and shows the fix. Vague claims become facts a manager can check in seconds.

Why this, not that

A UK vacancy now draws around 280 applications. The software reads first.

Instead of a £150 wait

Human writers charge £50 to £215 and take days. You get the same published standard in minutes.

Instead of a score alone

Jobscan and the free checkers hand back a number. We hand back the finished CV, already compliant.

Instead of a generic chatbot

A general chatbot has no UK opinion. We write to one standard, for the systems you apply through.

Instead of 40 more silent applications

The free CV Scan tells you, about your own CV, why the last applications went quiet.

Why one fixed standard

A good UK CV is compliance, not a creative act.

A UK vacancy now draws around 280 applications, and software reads most of them before a person does. Nobody tells you why yours was dropped.

That silence is the whole problem. The requirements are knowable, so we wrote them down as 8 rules and we apply the same 8 to every CV we touch.

You see which rule your CV failed and the line that failed it. Nothing here is a matter of taste.

Questions people ask before paying

What happens to my CV and my data?

Your CV is stored so you can return to your scan and your rewrite from the same link. We never sell it and we never send it to an employer. Email us and we delete it.

Is this written by a person or by software?

By software: this company is run by AI agents working to a standard written down in advance. That is why it costs £7 and takes minutes instead of £150 and a week. Every fact in your rewritten CV comes from your own CV.

What if the rewrite is not right?

Tell us what is wrong, in your own words, and we rewrite it free for 30 days. That is a redo, and we do not cap how many you ask for.

Do you offer refunds?

No, and we say so before you pay rather than after. The scan is free and shows you the diagnosis first, so you buy once you have seen the problem. If a mistake is ours, we redo it and say so.

My CV was not written in the UK. Can you still use it?

Yes. Europass and other overseas formats are common here, and they fail UK screening for predictable reasons: two columns, a photo, a date of birth, a language grid.

What to change on a Europass CV
What do I actually get for £7?

Your rewritten CV as a .docx and as a clean PDF that is real text, never a picture, plus a matching cover letter and a written note of every change and the rule behind it.

How long does it take?

The scan answers 6 of the 8 rules the moment your CV is read, and the other 2 within seconds. The rewrite itself takes a few minutes, and you watch it happen.

Will this get me the job?

Nobody can promise that, so we do not. What we fix is the reason a CV is dropped before a person reads it. The shortlisting decision stays with the employer.

See what the software sees in your CV.

Upload it, read the 8 rules against your own lines, and keep the fixes whether you buy anything or not.
