New Website 'Reads' Your CV And Tells You How Much You Should Be Paid

Job interview

A new online tool ‘reads’ your CV and offers an instant assessment of how much you are worth.

If you are feeling cheeky - and extremely daring - the ValueMyCV tool also lets you email the site’s assessment direct from the page.

ValueMyCV, offered by job search engine Adzuna, uses text mining to read qualifications from CVs, and to assess work experience in terms of years worked and years in management.

ValueMyCV

Users simply upload a CV in PDF format (you can also convert your LinkedIn profile) and the process takes less than half a minute.

ValueMy CV offers an instant estimate of the ‘value’ of your CV - using keywords, such as ‘Networking’ or ‘Technology’ to assess the industry you work in, and words such as ‘Director’ or ‘Manager’ to assess your rank.

The site also offers tips on how to improve CVs to ensure they highlight the ‘right’ skills to land you a pay rise.
