FAQ
- Is the United Kingdom to US resume converter really free?
- Yes β completely free. No signup, no credit card. We limit each IP to 3 conversions per day to keep AI costs reasonable, but most users never hit that.
- Do you store my United Kingdom CV?
- No. Your CV is processed in server memory during the request and deleted immediately after. We never persist it to disk, database, or cache. Read our Privacy page for the full promise.
- What if my United Kingdom CV is in another language?
- en-GB
- Do you invent facts or numbers?
- Never. If a bullet would benefit from a number (e.g. 'managed X devices') and you didn't provide one, we leave a placeholder like '[add number, e.g. number of devices managed]' for you to fill in. We never fabricate jobs, dates, employers, skills, certifications, degrees, or numbers.
- Do you ask about visa or work-authorization status?
- No. We do not ask about, store, or include visa status on your resume. That's between you and the employer.
- Why does my United Kingdom job title show as a different US title?
- Title translation is a suggestion based on country conventions β never an auto-upgrade. Review the suggestion and pick what matches your actual role.
- How do I download as PDF?
- After conversion, click 'Print / Save as PDF'. Your browser's print dialog opens with the resume on US Letter size, single column. Choose 'Save as PDF' as the destination.
