FAQ

Questions, answered

What does each upgrade include?
  • Basic fixes grammar, spelling and punctuation, tightens your wording while keeping your voice, and sets everything in a clean professional design.
  • Professional fully rewrites your experience into strong, action led bullet points, uses ATS safe headings and section order, and optimises keywords, for a specific target role if you give one.
  • Executive adds a tailored executive summary, a core competencies block and impact focused achievements written for senior roles.

Every upgrade includes all eight designs.

Will CVLift change my facts?

No. CVLift improves how your experience is written and presented, but it never invents employers, job titles, dates, qualifications or numbers. Where an achievement would be stronger with a figure you haven't provided, you'll see a clear placeholder like [add metric] for you to fill in yourself. Always read your CV before you send it.

Can I change the design after I see my preview?

Yes. On your order page you can switch between all eight designs as often as you like, before and after paying, at no extra cost. Your download always uses the design you chose last.

What's an ATS and why does it matter?

Many employers and recruitment agencies use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to scan CVs before a person reads them. Every CVLift design is a real text PDF with standard headings and a clear structure so these systems can read it correctly.

How do I pay?

You pay once, after you've seen your partial preview, through a secure South African payment provider. You can pay by card, EFT and other methods shown at checkout. CVLift never sees or stores your card details.

How do I receive my CV?

Your CV is an instant digital download. As soon as your payment is confirmed, a download button appears on your order page. You can download it again in the same browser for as long as your order is kept (7 days), so save a copy somewhere safe.

What happens to my CV and personal information?

Your file is used only to produce your upgraded CV. It is handled by CVLift and trusted processing providers under strict confidentiality, and all your files are deleted after 7 days. See our privacy policy for details.

What if I'm not happy, or something goes wrong?

You see a partial preview before paying, so you know the style and quality you're getting. If something goes wrong, for example your download doesn't work, send us a support request and we'll reply by email and put it right, including a refund where appropriate. See our refund policy.
