01 / THE PROBLEM ISN’T YOUR EXPERIENCEYOUR CV SAYS WHAT YOU DID.
YOUR CV SAYS WHAT YOU DID.
BUT DOES IT SAY WHY IT MATTERED?
“Responsible for…” doesn’t tell the whole story. Let’s give your work the credit it deserves.
This is CeCe.
She thought she
“just did her job”.
THE OLD CV
“Responsible for supplier deliveries.”
A duty. Anyone in the role could write it.THE NEW CV
“Cut late deliveries from 1 in 5 to 1 in 12 by rebuilding the supplier booking schedule, so stores stopped running out of stock.”
Your action. Your result. A reason to care.Illustrative examples from CeCe’s fictional CV. Your CV will use your own work and honest results.
THE QUESTION EVERYONE’S ASKINGWHY NOT JUST
WHY NOT JUST
ASK CHATGPT?
You can. AI can help you write and polish a CV. But give it vague details and you might get a polished CV that sounds like everyone else’s.
Your best evidence is in the work you’ve actually done. This course helps you find it, put it into words, and make it relevant to the job you want.
01
FIND THE WORK YOU FORGOT TO MENTION
Spot the problems you solved, the changes you made and the results you thought were “just your job”.
02
SHOW WHY IT MATTERED
Turn those details into clear achievements, so an employer can see what you bring.
03
MAKE IT FIT THE JOB
Choose the evidence and words that match the role. You’ll also see how AI can help spot useful keywords without taking over your CV.
YOUR EXPERIENCE. YOUR WORDS. A CV THAT SOUNDS LIKE YOU.

I’ve been watching your content and changed my CV and covering letter thanks to you. And guess what… I handed my notice in at Red Bull today and secured myself a girlboss job at PepsiCo.
Always know your worth xx
Got a promotion!
Got that MoJ job!!! Woop
I do have an interview on Monday with Amazon!
Hi there! I’ve got news, actually. I wasn’t able to make it to the UK, but after some careful—and a little stubborn—research, I got an offer from a company in Brussels.
I ended up getting offers from two of those places and just accepted an offer today!
Thank you so much for your help. I definitely think it made the difference in getting me those interviews!
My experience working in Canada for US companies definitely got me noticed!
INTERVIEW!!!!
And you deserve to be a super successful coach!!!!!
I spent a year not even being called.
I worked on my CV with you. Now I have interviews with the biggest companies.

05 / GOOD QUESTIONSBEFORE
BEFORE
YOU ASK.
Can’t I just ask ChatGPT to write my CV?+
You can use ChatGPT to help. This course shows you how to find your strongest achievements, explain their impact and choose the right evidence for each job. It also shows you how to use AI to spot useful keywords while keeping your CV truthful and in your own words.
Is this for me if I’m changing careers?+
Yes. There’s a lesson on applying for different roles and using a skills-based CV. You’ll learn to make relevant experience easier to see, even when your old job title looks different.
What if I don’t have impressive numbers?+
There’s a whole lesson on that. You’ll look at things like time saved, people helped, volume and accuracy. You’ll use evidence you can support, without making up results.
How long will it take?+
The 15 videos are planned to be around five minutes each. Allow extra time to work on your CV. You can set aside a day, or complete one or two lessons a day at your own pace.
Do I need a CV already?+
No. Bring your current CV or start with a blank document. You’ll work through the structure, your experience and the words to use, step by step.
Will someone review my CV?+
This is a self-study course. You’ll use worked examples and the lesson instructions to improve your own CV. A personal CV review or coaching call is not included.
Will this guarantee an interview?+
No course can promise that. You’ll learn to present your experience clearly and tailor it to the role. Hiring decisions also depend on the employer, other applicants and the job market.
Can I buy it now?+
Not yet. The course is being prepared. The price will be £47, and checkout will open when it’s ready.
