Application Readiness Snapshot

Answer four quick questions. You get a first diagnosis before we ask for anything sensitive like a CV or contact details.

Anything else to factor in?

Your first diagnosis

Answer the questions and this panel will show the likely blocker, first move and recommended next sites.

No CV needed for this first pass. If a deeper CV check is added later, it will need a separate consent step before upload because CVs can include contact details and other personal data. We will explain what is parsed, stored, shared and deleted before anything is uploaded.

Instant action plan

Open a tailored plan with your recommended tools, live links and a PDF save option. No email required.

Optional later: CV and job-description check for a sharper diagnosis, with explicit upload consent first.

Starter Toolkits

Start with one clear setup, then upgrade only where your search actually needs it.

Why click: the popup turns the snapshot into a concrete sequence with live tool links.
CVs are optional: start with the survey. Any later CV check will require clear consent because CVs may contain contact details.
No spam: the free snapshot does not need an email address to show the output.

Starter stack The leanest setup for your current blocker. Upgrade path What to add only if the free route is not enough. Watch-outs Subscription traps and tools that overlap.

Fair recommendations

Some links may be affiliate links, but recommendations are based on fit and the outcome you are trying to improve. Free options are included when they are the better place to start.

After you generate it

Your plan opens instantly in a popup.
You can click the recommended sites directly from the plan.
You can save it as a PDF from your browser.

Uses the current snapshot answers. Nothing is submitted to an email list.

Application Pack Audit

When you want more than a shortlist of tools, get a focused review of one real application before spending money in the wrong place.

Human review

What you get

A concise review of one CV and one target job, with the likely blocker, the first fix, and which tools or services are actually worth trying next.

CV and job-description fit check
Top 3 fixes before applying
Tool/service shortlist with watch-outs

Consent first

Your data stays intentional

The free snapshot does not need a CV. A deeper audit would only ask for your CV after explaining what is checked, what is stored, and how deletion works.

No CV required for the free snapshot
Separate consent before upload
Clear deletion route before sharing files

Practical next step

When it helps

Use it when you are about to apply for a role that matters, or when you want a second pair of eyes before paying for another CV or job-search tool.

Before a high-value application
Before buying a CV rewrite
When interviews are not coming through

Deeper review

Start with the free action plan. If the blocker looks serious, the audit is the more practical next step.
