UK-format CV
Traditional South Asian CV

Built for applications to top employers like

Five things on your CV that get it rejected before anyone reads it.

These aren't edge cases. They're the standard South Asian CV format. Every major UK, Canadian, and Australian hiring system filters for them.

✕Flagged

"CGPA: 8.4 / 10"

UK and Canadian recruiters don't recognise the scale. Your top-decile result reads as an unknown fraction.

✓Our fix

"First-class equivalent (3.94 GPA conversion)"

Expressed in the metric your target recruiter can benchmark against every other candidate.

1 of 5

✕Flagged

Photograph in the header

UK and CA ATS systems discard CVs with photos. Legally, employers can't request one — having it flags the application immediately.

✓Our fix

Photo removed. Clean professional header.

Name, city, LinkedIn, and target market phone format. Nothing that can be used to filter you out.

✕Flagged

"Date of Birth: 20/03/1995"

Including personal details is an Equality Act flag in UK applications. It signals a CV formatted for a different market before the first line is read.

✓Our fix

Personal details section removed entirely.

Compliant with UK Equality Act and standard Canadian and Australian hiring practice.

✕Flagged

"Declaration: I hereby declare…"

Standard in South Asian CVs. A recruiter in Manchester or Melbourne spots the format immediately.

✓Our fix

Declaration section removed.

This section has no equivalent in UK, CA, or AU CVs. Its absence is the correct format.

✕Flagged

Objective Statement

Objective statements were replaced by professional summaries in UK, CA, and AU hiring practice over a decade ago.

✓Our fix

Three-line professional summary, role-specific.

Written for your target market and the specific job, not a generic description of your background.

Four steps, every time.

Every CV goes through the same diagnosis-and-rebuild process. The only variable is the target market.

From people who've made the move.

“I'd been applying for months with the same experience on a different CV. The IIT framing was what I'd been getting wrong the whole time. They knew exactly how to translate it for a UK recruiter.”

“I had no idea the CGPA was the problem. Once it was rewritten as a GPA equivalent with the right context around my degree, things started moving. Should have done this months earlier.”

“The Australian selection criteria was the part I didn't know existed. I was writing a CV when I needed to be writing a different kind of document entirely. They sorted it without me having to explain what it even was.”

Why I built this.

Over the years I've made friends everywhere California, Europe, places work took me. And I kept watching the same thing happen. Brilliant people, genuinely talented, visas running out. They'd apply for jobs and nothing.

So I'd help them. Rewrite the CV, cut what didn't translate, reposition things. And it worked. Suddenly there were interviews, offers.

That's how DesiCV started. Not because of a lack of talent. Just that nobody could see the resume in the first place.

The questions worth asking.

Especially the skeptical ones.

No. We change the format and framing, not the substance. Your experience, your achievements, and your voice stay intact. What we remove is the formatting that flags you as from a different market before the first line is read. The result sounds like you, written for the right audience.

Both can improve your writing. Neither knows that CGPA needs a GPA conversion, that 'Infosys Ltd.' needs context for a recruiter who has never heard of it, or that a Declaration section is invisible in the UK. This is domain knowledge about two different job markets. You can't prompt it into a general-purpose AI.

We remove or convert: photo, date of birth, marital status, declaration section, CGPA without conversion, objective statements, and non-local phone formats. We add or re-frame: GPA equivalents, company context (size, revenue, sector), education context for institutions unfamiliar to your target market, professional summary, and market-specific section order. Your actual career history is preserved exactly.

No, and we won't claim that. Your CV is one variable in a hiring process with many others. What we can say is that your formatting will no longer be the reason you don't get past the first filter, which for South Asian applicants in UK, CA, and AU markets is often the only filter that matters.

Usually 3 to 4 business days, 5 at most. We'll email you as soon as it's done.

Yes. We use it to do the work, nothing else. We don't sell it, train on it, or keep it after your revision period closes.

A PDF formatted to the conventions of your target country. No watermark, ready to submit.

One free revision is included with every order. Reply to your delivery email within 7 days with what you'd like changed and we'll sort it.

Not yet. UAE, US, Germany, Singapore, and Remote/Global are next. Drop your email on the Destinations page and we'll let you know when yours opens.
