Career Core CV Builder

AI for CVs with Integrity

Career Core was created to solve problems we experienced when updating our own CVs. We wanted to take all our old CVs and create from them a single authoritative core career record from which we could derive CVs targeted for specific roles. In addition, we wanted to store them all in one place.

  • Core Record

    One authoritative source of truth for your full career history – every role, every achievement, every skill.

  • Fact checking

    AI verifies every claim in your CV against your Core Record before it goes anywhere – integrity built in.

  • Targeted CVs

    Generate a tailored, compelling CV for any job description in seconds, grounded in your real experience.

Get Career Core Active at a discounted rate for three months by subscribing to the Surviving the Gap community and newsletter.
