How should I use the CV Builder?
Use the Builder to arrange your own work history, skills and qualifications into a CV.
Keep names, dates and results factual. A suggested phrase is something to review, not evidence that you did the work.
Read the preview before exporting or using the CV in a new reading.

Which files can I upload?
PDF, Word (.docx) and plain text files, up to 5 MB.
You can paste your CV instead, up to 200 KB of text. A pasted advert can be up to 50 KB.
Older Word files (.doc) and scanned images cannot be read. Save your CV as .docx or PDF, or paste the text.
Checks that need the file itself, such as fonts and margins, cannot run on pasted text.

Does Fitread show my CV to recruiters or employers?
Fitread never shows your CV to a recruiter, agency or employer unless you send it to a specific advert or share it with someone you choose.
Your Fitread CVs are kept apart from the CV on a ContractorUK candidate profile, and Fitread never copies one into the other.
A test in Fitread's code lists every part of the site that reads Fitread's CV files and tables. It fails if ContractorUK's staff CV search, the contractor hire directory or any employer page is one of them.
Fitread is its own site with its own database, so nothing on ContractorUK's site reads your Fitread CVs.
