The problem

What was failing

Steven's employer was downsizing. The situation was stressful and the timeline was real: find something before the redundancy took effect or face the gap in income and momentum that comes with it.

He had not been job hunting recently. The market had changed. He needed to move quickly without the luxury of a long search.

The approach

How CalibratedCV was used

Steven spoke with Sanj, who pointed him to CalibratedCV. He used the free edition, no paid plan, no cost.

CalibratedCV calibrated his resume to each specific role he targeted, matching the language and priorities of each job description rather than sending the same generic document to every listing.

The outcome

What happened

Steven secured a role before his redundancy date arrived. He starts his new position on 27 April 2026.

The free tier was sufficient. The value was not in premium features but in the calibration itself: a resume that spoke directly to each role rather than one that hoped for the best.

I used CalibratedCV free edition and got the job I needed before my redundancy kicked in. Starting the new role on 27 April.
