I’ve gone old school. After reviewing a few people’s CV’s the easiest format was for me to record a video with the feedback, so I put a site together for that:

No AI, you just buy my time.

I’m also looking to do a couple freebies if anyone wants to anonymise their CV and let me use it for a promo example.

I like the path options.

Is this US focused or also applicable to UK/EU people?

Thanks. I’m based in the UK so have a good grasp on that, but I’ve reviewed someone’s resume from the US just as easily. Generally, English speaking and preferably in a digital related field, but a lot of the common pain points seem to be universal. It’s only difficult when it’s a field that’s highly niche as hard to know what’s common knowledge.

I like to play the role of the person doing the hiring, hence why the form asks for an example job description.

Interesting, the impression I got from the site was that this is US specific (dollar currency) and not that you're based in the UK.

I'll keep your site in mind if needed, I think the video response is a key selling point, great idea.

Thanks, and great feedback about the use of dollars!
