CV Review — by a human who has screened real CVs
Send your CV, get it back within 48 hours with written margin-note feedback on structure, impact bullets, formatting and ATS-readability. Every note is written by a person, against your actual lines.
Reviewed personally by Surojit Chakraverti — ex-Citi, Rothschild, Morgan Stanley and hedge funds. That is the difference from AI-only CV tools: judgement from someone who has made real screening decisions, not a keyword score.

What you get
- Margin-note feedback written directly on your CV — comment by comment, against the line it refers to, not a generic report.
- Structure: section order, what leads, what gets cut, and whether the one-page discipline holds for your stage.
- Impact bullets: which ones state responsibilities instead of results, and how each weak bullet should be rebuilt.
- Formatting: the alignment, date and typography details a screener reads as a proxy for your attention to detail.
- ATS-readability: whether parsing software can actually extract your experience, before a human ever sees it.
- Returned within 48 hours by email, ready to act on the same day.
How it works after payment
Pay, then reply to your confirmation email with your CV attached and the roles you are targeting. Your annotated CV comes back within 48 hours.
Who it is for
- Students and graduates applying to spring weeks, summer internships and graduate programmes in finance.
- Analysts and early-career professionals repositioning for a move — banking to buyside, industry to finance.
- Anyone whose CV has only ever been checked by software and wants a practitioner who has screened real CVs to read it.
Applying with a cover letter too?
The Cover Letter Review ($50) is the same human treatment for the harder document: line-by-line review of argument structure and firm-specific tailoring, plus a rewritten opening paragraph as an example.
Start free, if you prefer
The written fundamentals are free and always will be. The review is a practitioner applying them to your document.
Frequently asked questions
- Who actually reviews my CV?
- Surojit Chakraverti personally — investment banking at Citi, Rothschild and Morgan Stanley, then hedge funds. He has screened CVs on both sides of the hiring table and has coached 1,000+ candidates. It is not delegated and it is not an AI: a human practitioner reads every line.
- How is this different from an AI CV checker?
- AI tools score keywords and formatting; they cannot tell you that your second bullet undersells the one thing a PE screener would care about, or that your section order buries your strongest signal. This is human judgement from someone who has made real screening decisions. ATS-readability is checked too — but as one input, not the whole review.
- What exactly do I get back?
- Your CV returned with written margin notes: comment-by-comment feedback on structure, impact bullets, formatting and ATS-readability, plus an overall read on what a screener sees in the first ten seconds. It comes back within 48 hours by email.
- How do I send my CV after paying?
- After payment you will receive a confirmation email. Reply to that email with your CV attached (PDF or Word), and mention the roles you are targeting. The 48-hour turnaround starts when your document lands.
- How long does it take?
- Written feedback is returned within 48 hours of you sending your CV. If you are against a deadline shorter than that, say so in your email and it will be accommodated where possible.
- What does it cost?
- $25, paid once per review through Stripe. If you want the same treatment for your cover letter, the Cover Letter Review is a separate $50 service and includes a rewritten opening paragraph.
A human reads it. You act on it.
