I am awful at CV formatting, and this was just what I needed to put together a tailored CV that looked professional. Super intuitive, and great designs.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Game-Changer for Job Seekers



StandOut CV is one of the best desktop apps I’ve come across for career development. It’s far more than just a CV builder — it’s a smart tool that helps you present your experience in a clear, compelling, and professional format that really stands out.

The templates are clean, modern, and ATS-friendly, and the guidance provided at each step is incredibly helpful. What I appreciated most was how easy it was to tailor my CV to different roles without starting from scratch each time. It helped me reflect on my achievements, present them with confidence, and optimise for impact.

Whether you’re re-entering the job market, changing industries, or simply want your CV to reflect your true potential, this app is a fantastic resource. After using it, I felt more confident and better equipped to compete in a crowded job market.

Highly recommend for anyone serious about making their next career move!

So Easy!!!

I have been job searching for months, but didn't realise that my CV wasn't readable by the new ATS system by recruiters. StandOut made transposing my CV content easy with copy and paste and bullet point spacing, also suggestive wording and examples.

First time user

First time using StandOut CV and it was easy to use and helped me to write a succinct and attractive CV which (I hope) will get noticed.

Would definitely recommend to anyone, like myself, who has not written a CV in a while and wants a refresher regarding what to include and how to format.

Very bad company

Very bad company, advertising 14 days access with only 3£ with no subscription or any form of contract then started charging me for full subscription on that. Didn’t send me invoice mails or anything. Just taking money from my account quietly. Really really bad scams i got her!!! Stay away from this company

Hi Hoalan, sorry to hear you are disappointed with the service, but as I mentioned you did sign up to our monthly plan, which you would have seen details of at the checkout and plan selection page - the pricing is also viewable here on our site: https://standout-cv.com/about/cv-builder-pricing - let me know if there is anything else I can help with

First CV and so easy!

First time creating a CV and was feeling a bit daunted by the thought of where to start. However, I needn’t have worried. This site gave examples of a wide variety of CVs, layouts and professions. It made the whole process effortless. I particularly liked the examples of phrases to add and adapt. I found the creation of my new CV effortless and easy. I’d highly recommend this site to anyone, whether they’re starting out at CV creating or even a seasoned job hunter looking to update their own.

Super easy to use

Super easy to use. Great user interface, just a shame you can't download the first CV free before subscribing. But its super cheap for 14 days. Definitely worth it

The 4-star review is just to grab…

The 4-star review is just to grab attention and let you know that this is not a fake bot review. The service and product that these guys offer are clean-cut and extremely easy to use. I have since received notice that I will be attending an interview tomorrow morning.

I am over the moon with the result of the CV. Thanks, team!!

This is a “subscription trap” where monthly payment is debited without consent

This is a “subscription trap” - If you take the initial “one off payment” offer, the company does not make it clear or notify that you are signing up to a regular £17 a month subscription. This debit was taken from my account with no prior warning of subscription, no documents and no reminder & option to cancel (as required under Uk law). Fortunately my card company stopped the payment. AVOID.

Hi Arabella, sorry for any misunderstanding caused. Our CV builder is only available on subscription basis - Full pricing details can be seen here https://standout-cv.com/about/cv-builder-pricing and you would have seen details of the plans when signing up + email confirmation. However if you're unhappy with the app, you are free to cancel at any time within your account (you are not tied in at al) and your CVs will still be available if you decide to resubscribe in the future. If you have any further issues, please feel free to drop me an email at customer.support@standout-cv.com
