Explore careers, understand your strengths and get ready for work — with tools for your CV, applications and interviews, all in one place.

Check your CV

Paste your CV and the job advert. See where you stand.

You get a role match, the evidence in your CV that helps, and the points worth strengthening, before you send anything to an employer.

  • Your CV is not sent to the employer.
  • Every point is tied to something you wrote, so you know what to change.

How it works

Add it. Paste it. Read it.

A review usually takes under a minute, and you can leave the screen open while it works.

  1. Add your CV

    Upload the one you have, or build one in the CV Builder.

  2. Paste the job

    Paste the advert text, or just the link to it.

  3. Read what to fix

    See the match, then draft a cover letter and application answers from the same advert.

Job Check

Not every job advert is worth your Sunday.

Job Check reads the advert for you. If a listing looks off, it says so and does not compare your CV against it. If it looks fine, you see which requirements you already cover.

  • Paste a link instead of copying the whole advert.
  • Disagree with a flag? Tell us, and it goes to a person.
Interview practice

Practise the question you are dreading.

Pick a role you have already checked and answer a mock interview by chat. Where your school or account has voice calls switched on, you can answer out loud. Then you get honest feedback on how you answered.

For careers leaders: see who needs a nudge, without chasing.

Staff can create student accounts, organise groups and see application activity where their role allows it. Pupils can ask their teacher to delete their data, and the request lands in one place.
