Coaching

"Availability" doesn't tell a recruiter much. What did you change, and how long was a vehicle off the road before and after?

Your answer

Rebuilt the fault-reporting process. Nine days off the road on average, down to four.

An example of a finished CV, with the coaching that got it there

You have six seconds with a recruiter.

A recruiter opens your CV with a job description in one tab and forty other applications in another. They have probably never served. They are looking for one thing: evidence that you can do this specific job.

What they find is a job title they don't recognise, a list of duties that reads like a job spec, and paragraphs where the unit is the subject of every sentence. Your experience is lost in there.

The language doesn't cleanly map, you barely appear in your own CV, and the skills you're claiming have no evidence behind them.

Our CV builder has four jobs

1

Translates your experience

Rank, role and record rendered in language a civilian recruiter can read without Googling.

2

Puts you back in your own CV

The military spends years training you to say "we". A recruiter reading "the team maintained 98% availability" learns that you were present, not what you were responsible for.

3

Coaches you to the evidence

This is the part most other tools skip. The tool asks what changed, by how much, and how you know, until the proof behind the skill is on the page.

4

Tailors it to the job in front of you

Keep one master CV, then aim it at any role you find on any platform. Paste the job, and the tool reorders and rewrites for that employer without touching the original.

Designed for you by people who've been where you are

Five things our builder does that the others don't.

Start from anything

Starts with whatever you've already got

Upload a stack of documents, or type three fields while the kettle boils. Both work.

Uploading a service record is optional. Service, rank and role gets you a full CV on its own.

An existing CV

Upload it. We'll work from what's there and show you how to improve it.

A service record

Certificate of Service, appraisal reports, any of it. We'll pull the structure and start from there.

Service, rank and role

Three fields are enough to begin.

Free, permanently

There's a growing industry charging veterans money to access AI career tools. That's not our business model.

Employers pay us to find people who can do critical jobs within their business. A CV that proves what you're capable of makes you easier to find, which makes us more useful to them. Your interests and our incentives point the same direction, which is why there's no paywall here.

No trial. No limits. No card popup at export.
