Land more interviews with a CV that's been professionally upgraded

• Basic fixes grammar, spelling and punctuation, tightens your wording while keeping your voice. Upload a Word file (.docx) to keep your own layout. PDF uploads are set in our clean Classic 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.

Professional includes seven designs. Executive includes all eight, including our Executive design.

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

On Professional and Executive upgrades, yes. On your order page you can switch between the designs included with your upgrade as often as you like, before and after paying, at no extra cost. Your download always uses the design you chose last. Basic upgrades keep your own Word layout, or use our Classic design for PDF and text uploads.

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.

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

Your CV is an instant digital download. As soon as your payment is confirmed, your download appears on your order page, and we email you a private link to your order so you can download it again from any device for 7 days. Save a copy somewhere safe.

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.

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.
