Why one CV for every job advert falls flat
Sending the same CV to every opening is quick, and it is also why good candidates get passed over. Two adverts with the same job title can want quite different things: one is after analysis and reporting, the other stakeholder management. If the evidence for what this employer cares about is buried on page two, a recruiter skimming your CV may never reach it.
Tailoring does not mean inventing a new career for each application. It means taking what you have already done and moving the most relevant parts forward, in language the advert would recognise. It is worth doing, and it is tedious, which is why most people stop after a few applications.

Upload your CV as a PDF, then paste the job description from the advert. Choose how far the rewrite should go: Light improves wording only, Balanced rewrites bullets for impact and relevance, and Heavy also reworks your profile and merges or removes weak bullets. You can pick a different strength for each application, because a near-perfect fit needs less work than a career change.
You then accept or reject each suggestion, one at a time, and only what you accept is saved. The result becomes a new version for that job, and your master CV is never overwritten, so you can compare versions to see what changed.
What to change first, and what to leave alone
Whether you use the tool or do it by hand, start with the advert. Pick out the three or four things it asks for most directly, then check that each one is easy to find in the top half of your first page. Usually that means moving bullets up within a role, not writing new ones.
Next, match the language where it is honestly the same thing. If the advert says "stakeholder management" and your CV says "worked with other teams", use their phrase, provided you can back it up. Then cut or shorten what does not help this application, so the relevant work stands out.
Leave the facts alone. Job titles, employers, dates and qualifications should read the same on every version you send, because they can be checked and a mismatch is hard to explain.
It works from your experience, not around it
The AI is instructed to keep every fact accurate and not to invent experience or skills. It can still get things wrong, as any AI can, which is why the review step matters. A simple test for each change: could you explain this line out loud in an interview, with the details to back it up? If not, change it or drop it.
Checks to make on a UK CV
A few things are worth a look before you send it, because no setting handles them for you.
Spelling: there is no British English setting, so read through for words such as "organise" and "programme", especially if the advert or your original CV mixes spellings.
Length: two A4 pages is the usual expectation in the UK, and a heavier rewrite can change how long your CV runs. Check it before you send it, and trim the oldest or least relevant roles first.
Personal profile: this is the first thing a recruiter reads, so make sure it speaks to this role in particular and still sounds like you.
Why not just paste it into ChatGPT?
You can, and for a one-off it may be enough. A general chatbot will rewrite whatever you give it. What it will not do is keep track for you: by your tenth application you are managing a folder of near-identical files and a long chat history, and trying to remember which version went to which employer.
ResumeLens is built around that problem. Every tailored CV is a saved version tied to a job, your original stays untouched, and it sits alongside your match analysis, ATS check and application tracker, so you are not copying text between tools.
What it costs
The free plan includes 5 tailored CVs a month, with no card needed. Pro makes tailoring unlimited, from £9 a week or £24 a month, and you can cancel from your account at any time.
Will it overwrite my CV?
No. Each tailored CV is saved as a separate version, and your master CV stays as it was. You can compare versions whenever you like.
Will it make up experience I do not have?
It is instructed not to invent experience or skills, and you review the changes before relying on them. You are still the person sending the CV, so read it through and remove anything you could not stand behind.
Does it use British English?
There is no British English setting, and the output may not match UK spelling throughout. Give it a read for spelling before you send it.
Is a job advert the same as a job description?
For this tool, yes. Paste whatever the employer published about the role. The more detail about duties and requirements it has, the more there is to tailor against.
How is this different from the ATS CV checker?
The checker tests whether software can read your CV and has nothing to do with a particular job. Tailoring rewrites your CV for one specific role. Used together, tailor for the job and then check the file.
