“Mijn cv was al een tijdje niet bijgewerkt. CV-Refresher maakte er in korte tijd een veel sterker en moderner cv van. Vooral de koppeling met de vacature vond ik goed. De motivatiebrief sloot daardoor echt aan op de functie. Ik vond het ook prettig dat ik met vier sliders zelf de toon kon bepalen, bijvoorbeeld zakelijker of juist wat ontspannener en warmer. Daardoor voelde de uiteindelijke brief echt als mijn eigen verhaal.”
About CV-Refresher
An outdated resume or a hard-to-write cover letter keeps too many people from applying for the job they really want. CV-Refresher was built to change that.
We believe everyone should be able to create a professional, appealing resume and a matching cover letter within minutes — without complicated tools, pricey services, or hours of formatting work. Upload what you already have or build it from scratch, pick a style that fits you, and get back to applying.
Where it started
CV-Refresher was thought up by two people sitting on the other side of the table: an HR business partner and a hiring manager. Together, they read applicants' resumes all year round.
What they noticed is that a lot of resumes look alike. They roll out of the standard format from Indeed and other job posting sites, and that format has stayed the same for years. Fair's fair: they caught themselves setting resumes like that aside faster. Not because the candidate couldn't do the job, but because the document never showed it. They figured that could be better.
They noticed something else, too. If you don't speak the language fluently, you start off a step behind, and that has nothing to do with skill. That's why CV-Refresher works in seven languages. Wherever you're applying, your resume should move you forward, not hold you back.
It doesn't stop there. Once an offer comes in, that's the moment most people say yes too fast. The salary negotiation tool shows whether there's room to negotiate and how to go about it — backed by real wage data and what's in the job posting, never made-up numbers. From your first application to your signature on the contract.
Take the leap, we'll help you get there!
Good luck — The CV-Refresher Team
