Make Your CV Sound Like You

A CV Kit for Career Changers

Turn the job you had into the job you want, in words that are honestly yours.

You've gained experience. You've developed skills. You've worked, solved problems and achieved things worth putting on your CV.

But now you want to move into a different career, and you're struggling to explain how your previous experience makes you a good fit.

You update your CV, add a few professional-sounding phrases and hope employers will see your potential.

But what if the problem isn't your experience? What if it's how you're presenting it?

Make Your CV Sound Like You is a practical CV-writing kit designed to help career changers turn their existing experience into clear, relevant and convincing CV content.

Instead of pretending to have experience you don't have, you'll learn how to identify the valuable skills you've already developed, communicate your achievements and connect your previous work to the career you want.

And you won't just be reading about it. You'll be working on your own CV as you go.

What you'll learn

1. Identify what's weakening your CV

Understand why generic descriptions, vague professional summaries and unfocused CVs can make it difficult for employers to recognise your value.

2. Replace generic phrases with real evidence

Learn to identify expressions that could belong to anyone and replace them with specific descriptions of what you've actually done.

3. Translate your previous experience

Discover how skills from sales, customer service, administration, teaching and other fields can become relevant to a different career.

4. Tailor your CV to a job advert

Learn how to identify what an employer is looking for and adjust your CV accordingly without starting from scratch every time.

5. Use AI without sounding like AI

Get four practical AI prompts (for ChatGPT or any AI tool) to help you uncover achievements, translate experience, check keywords and identify generic writing.

6. See the transformation in practice

Follow real before-and-after examples from the author's own career transition and apply the same thinking to your CV.

You're applying for jobs in a new industry and struggling to tailor your CV.
You want to use AI to improve your CV without letting it invent your experience.

A note from the author

I'm Shibi Cleophas Chirupende, a copywriter and digital communications specialist.

Before moving into copywriting, I spent four years working in sales and customer service. My old CV didn't communicate the value of the work I was doing.

It said I "managed a high volume of customer interactions daily through WhatsApp and digital platforms." What I actually did was write sales messages that sold over 1 million francs in credit every month. Once my CV said that, five clients hired me through LinkedIn in one month.

I had to learn how to look at my experience differently and explain it in a way that made sense for the career I wanted. That experience inspired this kit.

I created it to help you do the same with your own work history.

You don't need to invent a new career history. You need to learn how to tell the story of the one you already have.
