Why Weak Words Kill Your CV

Certain words instantly make your CV sound passive, generic, and forgettable. Words like "responsible for," "helped," "worked on," and "duties included" don't demonstrate your value or impact—they just describe tasks anyone could do.

Recruiters can spot these weak words in seconds, and they immediately signal a lack of achievement-focused thinking. In fact, using passive language can reduce your callback rate by up to 40%.

This tool scans your CV text and identifies every weak word, then provides powerful alternatives that:

✓ Show action and initiative (not passive responsibility)
✓ Demonstrate measurable impact
✓ Make you sound confident and results-driven
✓ Differentiate you from other candidates
✓ Pass ATS keyword filters with strong verbs

Simply paste any section of your CV, and we'll show you exactly which words are holding you back and what to use instead.
