What earns the space
A profile is useful only when it is specific.
The top of a CV should quickly connect your relevant background to the vacancy. Unsupported adjectives do not make that case; a role, a skill and a concrete result can.
Prove
Use supplied tools, responsibilities or measured achievements instead of broad claims.
Target
Name the vacancy and show how the evidence supports the value you can bring to it.
Evidence checked
The guidance behind the generator.
The National Careers Service advises a few short lines that make you sound right for the job and recommends tailoring the CV to the advert. Prospects says the profile should be concise, no longer than 150 words, backed by evidence and free from clichés or empty claims.
Prospects also warns that AI text can sound generic or insincere. Treat the result as an edited first draft: verify every claim, restore your natural voice and tailor it for each application.

FAQ
UK CV personal statement questions.
How long should a UK CV personal statement be?+
The National Careers Service describes it as a few short lines, while Prospects recommends no more than 150 words. This generator deliberately produces 3–4 sentences and 50–100 words so the profile stays easy to scan and leaves room for evidence elsewhere in the CV.
Should a CV personal statement use first or third person?+
Either can work if the voice stays consistent, but concise UK CV profiles often use implied first person, such as “Customer service adviser with three years’ experience”. WorkCV avoids personal pronouns so it does not switch between “I” and “he” or “she”.
Will the generator invent experience or achievements?+
It is instructed to use only the details you provide, and WorkCV rejects outputs that introduce new numeric claims. You must still check every statement before using it because AI can make mistakes and cannot verify your employment history.
Should I use the same personal statement for every job?+
No. The National Careers Service and Prospects both advise tailoring a CV to the vacancy. Use the exact target role and prioritise skills or achievements that match that advert.
How is my information handled?+
WorkCV sends the three form fields to the OpenAI API and does not save them. OpenAI does not use API inputs or outputs to train its models by default, but may retain API data for up to 30 days for abuse monitoring unless a qualifying zero-retention arrangement applies.
