Something I keep noticing: most CVs I read are technically fine, but they don't actually sound like the person who wrote them. Talented people make their real work read flat. They write "managed a team" when what they actually did was rebuild something messy in six weeks, and then they don't get the callback they deserve.

I've sent out a lot of CVs myself, for jobs, for scholarships, for my master's at Brown. The difference between a rejection and the next interview, for me, was usually one mentor who sat with me for thirty minutes. That's what I want to be for you.

If your CV doesn't sound like you yet, send it over. I'll read it the way I wish someone had read mine the first time.

how it works

An AI catches what a recruiter would miss. A real reviewer catches what the AI can't.

You get the mechanical pass and the editorial pass in one email, for the price one of them costs alone.

  1. I.

    Drop your CV

    A PDF, a target role, a paragraph of context. Ninety seconds. The reviewer reads what you write here before opening the file, and it shapes the whole edit.

    step one

  2. II.

    The mechanical check, AI-assisted

    ATS readability, keyword gaps for your role, weak verbs flagged, missing metrics surfaced. The boring math gets out of the way so the editorial edit can focus on what actually moves the needle.

    ATS + keywords

  3. III.

    A human marks up the draft

    A senior operator who's hired analysts and mentored students spends 10 to 14 minutes red-penning the parts AI can't judge: story arc, what to bury, what to lead with.

    ≤ 24 hours

  4. IV.

    Emailed back, ready to send

    An email, not a PDF. Personal note from your reviewer, three priority moves, line-by-line edits, score card, and the parts already working. Read it on the bus, apply on Monday.

what you get

The whole review fits in a single email you can re-open on your phone.

Five sections, designed to be readable on the bus the morning of an interview.

§ 01 · the note

A personal note from your reviewer

Three or four sentences. The first thing they want you to fix. Signed with name, role, and the company they used to recruit for. Reply to it like email.

Aidana Bassenova

Aidana · Manager Business Transformation, SalamAir

"Rachel — your shipping cadence is the headline, not your titles. I moved 'shipped 4 features in 9 weeks' to line 1 of every role. Lead with what you built, not what you managed."

§ 02 · priority moves

Three moves, ranked

  1. 1.Move shipping cadence to line 1 of every role
  2. 2.Replace 'managed' with action verbs (led, shipped, cut)
  3. 3.Add a 0→1 line to your summary

§ 03 · score card

§ 04 · line-by-line

Edits you can copy-paste

Every bullet that needs work, side by side with the rewrite. Collapsible so the email is scannable on a phone. The before column has the strike-throughs; the after column has the marker.

§ 05 · what's working

The parts NOT to touch

The bullets, formatting, and word choices that already land. Most reviews skip this. You end up rewriting strong sections for no reason. We list every line worth keeping.

faq

Plain answers, no fluff.

Still unsure? hi@glowmycv.com with replies in under two hours.

Is this just ChatGPT in a trench coat?+

No. AI handles the boring checks (ATS, keyword fit, weak verbs, missing metrics) so Aidana can spend her review on the parts AI can't judge: story, tone, what to bury, what to lead with. You'd pay $0 for ChatGPT alone and $200+ for a hand-edit by a senior operator elsewhere. We bundle both for $29.

Why 24 hours? Not faster?+

Because we don't want to lie. 'Within 1 hour' makes every late review a complaint. 24 hours is honest, gives the reviewer space to actually think, and is still faster than every legacy service. If we miss it, you get refunded automatically.

Will my CV be sent to a model that trains on it?+

No. We use OpenAI's API with training opt-out enabled. Your file is encrypted at rest, deleted within 30 days of review, and never leaves the region you upload from. You can delete it instantly from your inbox link.

Who actually does the review?+

Aidana Bassenova. She's a senior operator at SalamAir (Manager, Business Transformation) in Muscat, currently completing her MS in Technology Leadership at Brown University. Before SalamAir she spent five years scaling the first low-cost airline in Kazakhstan (senior analyst to manager) and two years at KPMG Kazakhstan and Central Asia. She's hired analysts, mentored 5+ KIMEP students into internships, and trained 40+ analysts in MS Power BI. You can DM her on LinkedIn before you upload, and you can reply to her email after.

I have an internship CV. Will this help?+

Yes. This is who we built it for. Aidana mentored five KIMEP students into their first internships and runs analyst training programs for early-career hires. If you have a 1-page CV and 'managed a club fundraiser,' she knows exactly how to make that sound senior.

What if the review is bad?+

Reply to the email and say so. We do a second pass free. If you still hate it, we refund. We're tracking complaints publicly. That's how we keep reviewer quality honest.
