I've reviewed thousands of CVs. Let me tell you what's wrong with yours.

A personal video review from me, a recruiter who has placed marketing, comms, sales and digital candidates for 15 or more years. This is not an AI review but me going through your CV as if I was considering you for a role as a hiring manager.

You've tweaked the wording, reordered sections and tried the advice from that LinkedIn post. Maybe even run it through ChatGPT to "optimise" it.

And you're still not hearing back.

Here's what's actually happening: most CV advice is generic. It tells you what a CV should look like, not what's specifically working against yours. Without knowing what's holding it back, you're guessing. And guessing rarely moves the needle.

This review tells you exactly what the problem is, and exactly what to fix first, so you can stop guessing and start getting interviews.

What you get

Video walkthrough, section by section.

Me on camera, going through your actual CV the way I would if it landed on my desk for a real role. Most reviews are around 15 mins but can be a lot more depending on how many changes you need to make

My first impression, out loud.

What I think in the first ten seconds of skimming it. Most people have no idea what happens in that window or how quickly the decision gets made.

Your highest-impact fixes, in order.

I give a list of all changes but I will highlight the areas as a priority that are costing you interviews.

Written action list.

I summarise key copy changes so you can work through the comments easily.

Delivered within 3 working days.

A private Loom sent directly to your inbox, ready to act on straight away.

How it works

1.

Pay and send me your CV

Complete the payment and email your CV to me. Tell me what roles you're going for as that context shapes the review.

2.

I record your review

I go through it on camera, the same way I decide which candidates get forwarded to hiring managers. What I think, what I notice, what I question.

3.

You get the video and action list

A private Loom plus a written summary of every change, in your inbox within 3 working days.

What people say

Why me?

Suze Cook, founder of Ruby Magpie

I've spent 15 or more years placing candidates in marketing, communications, creative, and digital roles. Before that, I spent years running marketing teams myself at Microsoft, 118 118, and UKTV.

That combination is unusual. I know what makes a hiring manager stop scrolling, because I've been that hiring manager. I know which CVs get forwarded and which get skipped, because I've been the one making that call.

I'm not interested in generic feedback or a template checklist. I'm looking at your CV the way a hiring team actually would and telling you honestly what stands out, what doesn't, and what's quietly working against you.

Fair questions

"Can't I just use ChatGPT to review it?"

ChatGPT gives decent general advice. What it can't give you is a recruiter's genuine reaction in real time, the instinct that decides in ten seconds whether a CV gets forwarded or skipped. I've screened thousands of CVs and made those calls for years. That judgment is what you're paying for.

"Is £69 worth it?"

A stalled job search costs you more than £69 every week it drags on. One clear review shows you exactly what to fix and why. And if I don't identify at least three specific changes worth making, reply to the delivery email within 7 days and I'll refund you in full.

"Will you understand my industry?"

I specialise in marketing, communications, creative, digital, and sales roles and that's where most of my reviews land. But I review CVs outside those areas too, and the fundamentals work the same way across all of them. How quickly your value reads, how you show impact, what a recruiter thinks in the first ten seconds, none of that changes with the job title.

The guarantee

If I don't identify at least three specific changes worth making, reply to the delivery email within 7 days and I'll refund you in full.
