Real People, Real Results

After 10 years of teaching, I felt burnt out and wanted to use my people skills in tech. But every time I applied to UX roles, I got rejected within days. My teaching CV looked completely irrelevant.

Tailor My CV changed everything. When I uploaded my CV and pasted a UX Researcher job description, the AI repositioned my classroom observation skills as 'user research,' my curriculum design as 'user journey mapping,' and my student feedback sessions as 'usability testing.' The fit score was 67% - much higher than I expected!

The tailored CV helped me land 7 interviews in 8 weeks. I eventually accepted an offer at a fintech startup, and my teaching background is now seen as a unique advantage. The AI helped me see transferable skills I didn't even realize I had.

I ran a kitchen for 6 years and loved it, but the hours were brutal and I wanted to start a family. I'd always been interested in food tech, but my CV was full of 'managed kitchen staff' and 'created seasonal menus' - nothing that screamed 'product manager.'

When I used Tailor My CV for a Product Manager role at a meal kit company, something clicked. The AI reframed my inventory management as 'supply chain optimization,' my menu testing with customers as 'user feedback loops,' and my team leadership as 'cross-functional collaboration with suppliers and front-of-house.'

But here's the best part: the Gap Analysis showed me I was missing 'agile' and 'roadmap' experience. I took a free online course, added it to my CV, and re-generated. My fit score jumped from 52% to 73%. That tailored CV got me into final rounds at 3 food tech companies. I start my PM role next month, and they LOVED that I understand restaurant operations from the inside.

Fresh out of university, I had a decent CV with internships and class projects. But I was applying to 5-10 jobs a day with the same generic CV and getting ghosted. My parents kept asking 'how's the job search?' and I had nothing to show.

A friend told me about Tailor My CV. At first, I was skeptical - 'how much could an AI really help?' But when I uploaded my CV and pasted a frontend dev job posting, the AI did something brilliant: it took my vague internship bullet point 'built web applications' and expanded it to 'developed responsive React components for e-commerce platform serving 50K+ monthly users, implementing Redux state management and RESTful API integration.'

Everything on my CV was still true - I HAD done those things, but I'd undersold them. The AI knew what keywords hiring managers look for. After switching to tailored CVs for each application, my interview rate went from maybe 1 in 20 to almost 1 in 4. I landed my first developer job 6 weeks after graduating. My parents finally stopped asking.

I graduated during a tough job market with zero professional marketing experience - just coursework and a few volunteer projects. Every job wanted '2-3 years experience' and I had nothing. I was ready to take an unpaid internship just to get my foot in the door.

My career advisor suggested trying Tailor My CV. I uploaded my bare-bones CV and analyzed a Marketing Coordinator role. The fit score was only 34% - barely passing - but the AI still generated a tailored version. What shocked me was how it positioned my university projects.

My capstone project became 'Led 5-person team to develop integrated marketing campaign for local nonprofit, resulting in 150% increase in volunteer signups and $12K in donations.' That was literally my class project, but I'd written it as 'marketing campaign project' before. The AI knew how to make it sound professional without lying.

The Gap Analysis told me I needed more social media analytics experience, so I started tracking metrics for the volunteer org and added real data to my CV. Second tailoring: 58% fit score. That honesty got me taken seriously, and I landed a coordinator role that's now a full-time position.

I'd been a senior engineer for 7 years and wanted to move into management, but my CV read like a technical spec sheet: 'Built microservices architecture,' 'Optimized database queries,' etc. Nothing about the mentoring, cross-team collaboration, or strategic planning I'd been doing informally for years.

When I tailored my CV for an Engineering Manager role, the AI did something I hadn't thought of: it reframed my technical work through a leadership lens. 'Led architectural decision-making for 12-person engineering team, balancing technical debt reduction with feature delivery to meet quarterly OKRs' - this was true! I HAD been doing this, but I'd focused on the technical details and buried the leadership.

The tailored CV also surfaced examples of me mentoring junior devs, mediating technical disagreements, and communicating with non-technical stakeholders - all things I'd done but never highlighted. My fit score was 78%, and for the first time, I felt like my CV told the story of someone ready to manage, not just code.

I was selective - only applied to 18 roles over 14 weeks - but got 6 interviews because each CV was laser-targeted. I'm starting my EM role next month with a 35% salary increase. Tailoring my CV made me realize I was already doing management work; I just needed to SAY it.

After 12 years in agency marketing, I wanted to go in-house at a high-growth startup. But my CV was a mess of client names and campaign metrics that didn't mean much to someone outside the agency world. I needed to show strategic thinking, not just execution.

Using Tailor My CV for a Head of Marketing role at a healthcare startup was eye-opening. The AI took my scattered agency work and wove it into a narrative: 'Developed go-to-market strategies for 15+ B2B clients across healthcare, fintech, and SaaS verticals, with average client revenue growth of 120% year-over-year.' This wasn't new information - it was just organized differently.

The Gap Analysis revealed I was weak on 'growth hacking' and 'product-led growth' - very startup-y terms I hadn't focused on in agency land. I read a few books, implemented some PLG tactics for a client (with their permission), and added those results to my CV. My fit score went from 61% to 84%.

I was incredibly selective - only 12 applications over 4 months - but each one was a perfect match. I got 5 interviews and 2 offers. I accepted the Head of Marketing role at a Series B healthtech startup, and my agency background is now seen as a superpower because I've worked with so many different business models.

I took 2 years off to be a stay-at-home dad, and coming back to work was terrifying. My CV had a giant gap, and I didn't know how to address it. Do I mention it? Ignore it? Make up side projects?

Tailor My CV's approach was refreshingly honest. When I uploaded my CV (gap and all) and analyzed a Product Manager role, the AI didn't hide the gap or pretend it wasn't there. Instead, it positioned my most recent experience prominently and added a brief line: 'Career break for family care (2021-2023), maintained industry knowledge through online courses and consulting projects.'

This was true - I HAD taken a few Coursera courses and helped a friend with product strategy for their startup. The AI knew how to frame this positively without lying. The Gap Analysis showed I was behind on some newer tools (I'd missed the whole 'AI product management' wave), so I took a course and added it.

My fit score was 72%, and the tailored CV got me 6 interviews. At every interview, when they asked about the gap, I was honest: 'I was raising my kids, and it was the best decision I ever made.' Employers respected that, and I landed a PM role at a company that values work-life balance. The key was being truthful but strategic in how I framed it.

I was a Director of Operations at a mid-sized company that went through layoffs. At 45, I was suddenly competing with younger candidates for Senior Manager roles - and my CV screamed 'overqualified and expensive.'

My initial approach was to remove my director title and some experience, but that felt dishonest and left weird gaps. When I used Tailor My CV, I tried a different strategy: I uploaded my full CV but analyzed mid-level management roles where I could actually add value without being overqualified.

The AI was smart about it. Instead of hiding my seniority, it positioned me as 'experienced leader seeking hands-on operational role to rebuild after corporate restructuring.' The tailored CV emphasized my tactical skills (process improvement, team management, budget oversight) and de-emphasized my strategic, C-suite work.

The fit scores were honest - some roles showed 45% (underqualified for me) and others 85% (perfect for my new goals). I focused on the 70-85% range and was upfront in cover letters: 'I'm intentionally seeking an operations manager role where I can focus on execution rather than strategy.' Employers appreciated the honesty, and I landed a Senior Operations Manager role that pays well, has great work-life balance, and lets me do what I actually enjoy.
