CV Diagnostic

Find out exactly why your CV isn't getting callbacks.

A scored diagnostic of your commissioning CV — reviewed personally by a Lead E&I/ICSS Commissioning Engineer with 30+ years on FPSO, LNG and petrochemical projects. Not software. Not a template checklist.

£29 — fully credited against any CV service booked within 14 days.

Delivery

Delivered within 48 hours as a PDF report.

This is a diagnosis, not a repair: the report names what’s wrong and why it matters, then points you to the right service to fix it.

What you get

A diagnostic you can act on, not generic advice.

Your CV Heat Map

Every section scored 1–10 — profile, project experience, systems and equipment coverage, achievements, ATS readiness, and format. You’ll see where recruiters stop reading.

Your Three Critical Failures

The three issues costing you the most interviews — named and explained. Why they fail with EPC recruiters, agency screeners, and ATS filters, from someone who has sat on the hiring side.

Your Verdict & Fix Path

A straight answer: is your CV a rewrite, a restructure, or a tune-up? And exactly which service fixes it — no upselling beyond what the document actually needs.

Important

This is a diagnosis, not a repair.

The diagnostic tells you what’s wrong and why it matters — the rewriting, restructuring and keyword engineering is what the CV services deliver. If you book any service within 14 days, your £29 comes straight off the price.

Why it isn’t free

£29 is a filter and a down payment.

We used to review CVs for free. What we found: a free review is treated like free advice — read once, filed away, nothing changes, and the CV keeps getting rejected. A £29 diagnostic gets read properly, acted on, and credited back when you’re ready to fix the problems. It costs you nothing if you proceed — and less than one day of a commissioning day rate if you don’t.

Trust

Frequently asked

Does the diagnostic rewrite my CV?

No. The diagnostic identifies the issues and the fix path. The actual rewriting happens inside the CV services.

Who is the diagnostic best for?

It is best for engineers and technical professionals who are not getting traction and need a clear view of what is failing first.

What if I disagree with the diagnostic verdict?

You can reply and challenge the conclusion directly. The verdict is explained against hiring-side judgment, role fit, and document evidence rather than generic CV advice.

How is confidentiality handled in the diagnostic?

Your CV, project context, and career plans are handled with project-style confidentiality and used only for the diagnostic and any follow-on service decision.

What happens if I continue to a paid service?

If you book a qualifying service within 14 days, the diagnostic fee is credited back against that work.
