A CV rewrite is not proofreading and it is not a redesign. Your facts stay exactly as they are — same roles, same dates, same employers, same qualifications. Nothing is invented and nothing is exaggerated.
What changes is how those facts are communicated. Most CVs fail not because the person lacks experience, but because the experience is described as a list of duties rather than a record of results. Rewriting closes that gap.
Same job. Same person. Same truth. Entirely different impression on a hiring manager scanning for seven seconds.
The four lines at the top of your CV are the most valuable space on the page and the most commonly wasted. Generic openers like "a hardworking and motivated professional" are replaced with a specific, evidence-led positioning statement that tells a hiring manager what you do, at what level, and what you have delivered.
Duty-listing becomes achievement-led writing. Where numbers exist in your original CV they are surfaced and given prominence. Where they do not, the language is restructured around scope, ownership and outcome instead.
Passive and weak constructions — "responsible for", "involved in", "helped with", "assisted" — are replaced with active verbs that convey ownership: led, delivered, negotiated, rebuilt, scaled, reduced.
Applicant Tracking Systems are the software most UK employers use to screen CVs before a human ever reads one. Text boxes, tables, columns, graphics, headers and unusual section names all cause parsing failures. The rewrite outputs clean, standard-structured formatting that reads correctly in every major ATS.
British English throughout — organised, specialised, programme, analyse — rather than the American spelling most general-purpose AI tools default to. Tense, date formats, capitalisation and punctuation are made consistent across the whole document.
Writing a CV from a blank page is genuinely hard, and it is hard for a reason that has nothing to do with writing ability. People are poor judges of their own achievements. Work that felt routine at the time is exactly the work that impresses an outsider, and most people leave it out entirely.
Rewriting solves that. Your existing CV already contains the raw material — the rewrite extracts what matters, reframes it, and puts it where a recruiter will actually see it. You are not asked to remember your career from nothing.
If you genuinely have no CV to start from, the built-in CV builder creates one from a short form instead.
Professional CV rewriting in the UK has traditionally been expensive and slow. Here is how the options compare.
| Option | Typical cost | Turnaround |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional CV writing service | £100 – £500 | 3 – 7 working days |
| Executive CV rewrite package | £500 – £2,000+ | 1 – 3 weeks |
| General AI writing subscription | £10 – £29 / month | Instant, but you write the prompts |
| FixMyCV.co | £4.99 one-off | Under 60 seconds |
The reason a general AI subscription is not a like-for-like comparison: the quality of an AI rewrite depends almost entirely on the instructions behind it. FixMyCV.co has those instructions built in, refined against what UK hiring managers actually respond to. You are not paying for access to a model, you are paying for the parameters.

What is CV rewriting?
CV rewriting means taking your existing CV and rebuilding the language, structure and formatting so it communicates your experience far more effectively. Your facts, roles, dates and employers stay exactly as they are. What changes is how they are presented: duties become measurable achievements, weak phrasing becomes strong action verbs, and the layout is made ATS-friendly so it passes automated screening.
How much does CV rewriting cost?
FixMyCV.co charges £4.99 as a one-off payment with no subscription. Traditional UK CV rewriting services typically charge between £100 and £500, with executive packages running into the thousands. You can preview your fully rewritten CV for free and only pay if you want to download the PDF.
How long does a CV rewrite take?
Under 60 seconds. Traditional CV rewriting services usually take three to seven working days because a human writer schedules your document into a queue. Because the rewriting parameters are already set, your CV is returned almost immediately.
Will the rewritten CV still sound like me?
Yes. The rewrite is engineered to preserve your individual voice. It studies the tone and style of your original CV and carries it through, so the finished version sounds like you, just significantly more polished. It uses British English throughout rather than defaulting to American spelling.
Can I rewrite my CV for a specific job?
Yes. There is an optional field where you enter the role you are applying for. The rewrite then tailors language, keywords and emphasis specifically for that position rather than producing a generic result. You can rewrite the same CV multiple times for different roles.
Is the rewritten CV ATS-friendly?
Yes. Every rewrite is formatted to pass Applicant Tracking Systems, the software most UK employers use to screen CVs before a human sees them. That means clean formatting, no graphics or text boxes, standard section headings and no content buried in tables or headers.
What file types can I upload for rewriting?
PDF, Word (.docx) or plain text files up to 10MB. If you do not have a CV yet, there is a built-in builder that creates one from scratch.
Upload your current CV, read the full rewrite for free, and only pay if it is better. Under 60 seconds, £4.99, no subscription.
