In one paragraph
CVBUFFED is a two-page A4 CV template and an editor that runs in your web browser. It starts like a traditional CV, then breaks character halfway down the page to show your evidence: four squares for your strongest facts, your achievements, and a closing section that asks for the interview. You tell it the job you’re going for and it suggests which sections to use. You write the words yourself, with a prompt and an example for every part. It costs £12.50, once.
Who it’s for
People applying for jobs in the UK, in almost any line of work: retail, hospitality, admin, sales, customer service, care, teaching support, trades, tech, finance, marketing and creative roles, plus school leavers, apprentices, graduates, career changers and people returning to work. The editor has setups for around 60 kinds of job, and you can type your own.
How it works
- See it working. The home page runs the real template. Pick a job and a style and watch the page adapt.
- Pay once. £12.50 through Stripe. No account.
- Set it up for your job. The editor asks what you’re going for and arranges the sections to suit.
- Fill it in. Each section has a short prompt, an example, and help trimming what you write so it fits.
- Download. A designed PDF (A4 or US Letter), a plain one-column PDF for job portals, and a Word file.
What makes it different
- Pay once, keep it. Many CV builders sell a cheap trial that turns into a repeating charge. CVBUFFED is a single payment.
- No account, no upload. Your CV is stored in your browser, on your device.
- No AI writing. It doesn’t generate your CV. It gives you prompts and examples so the words and facts stay yours.
- Two files for two jobs. A designed version for people and a plain version for application portals, from one set of words. See why you want both.
- Loud or low-key. Three tones, from Professional to Playful, so it suits a nursing application as well as a creative one.

Your information
Your CV text and photo stay in your browser. CVBUFFED has no server that stores CVs. Payments are handled by Stripe, which shares only what’s needed to confirm your purchase (we keep a scrambled form of your email address so you can restore access on a new device, never your CV). Any analytics are cookieless and count visits and button presses, never what you type. Details are on the privacy page.
