CV readinessStart with the essentials
Every point is tied to a visible check. Add your CV details and a target job description.
01 / Profile
Make the first scan count.
Aim for 40-80 words. Use job-specific language only when it truthfully reflects your experience.
Use a square image. Non-square files are rejected so Square, Rounded, and Circle crops remain precise. Usually omit a photo for applications in the US, UK, and Canada.

02 / Work preferences
Target the right engagement.
Only answered fields appear in the CV. These choices improve targeting but do not add ATS points unless they match the job description.
03 / Experience
Prove impact, not duties.
Keep work experience in reverse chronological order, newest role first. Collapse roles to make drag and drop easier on long CVs.
Drag a position card to reorder it, or use the arrow buttons for precise moves.
04 / Skills
Use precise, searchable terms.
Separate skills with commas. Prioritize hard skills that appear in the target job and you can support in an interview.
Aim for 10 to 20 relevant skills.
Skills suggested for your target role
Add a target role to see relevant suggestions.
Add only skills you have used and can explain in an interview. Suggestions are never added automatically.
Your CV skills
Drag selected skills to put the strongest, most relevant terms first. On touch screens, long press before moving.
05 / Job match
Write for one real role.
Use a public listing, or paste the description below. Login-only and protected job boards may require manual paste.
The checker finds recurring meaningful terms. It never inserts keywords automatically or encourages unsupported claims.
06 / Tailor CV
Prioritize evidence for this role.
Lineup works locally and only uses facts already present in your CV. It can reorder skills and achievement lines, and suggest a focused summary. Missing job terms are never added as claims.
Paste a job description and complete your CV first.
07 / Cover letter
Build the letter from verified evidence.
Generate this after reviewing the tailoring suggestions. The letter uses your existing summary, skills, achievements, role, and work preferences. It does not invent motivation, expertise, or company knowledge.
08 / LinkedIn headline
Turn your CV into a clear positioning line.
Generate five positioning angles from your target role, skills, summary, achievements, latest experience, and work preferences. Everything runs locally; Lineup does not invent expertise or send CV content to an AI service.
Add a target role, several skills, and experience details for stronger options.
09 / Design
Control the document hierarchy.
The defaults are conservative and readable. For strongest ATS compatibility, keep high contrast and use Arial, Calibri, Georgia, Garamond, or Times New Roman.
Choose a document template
Your CV content and readiness score stay unchanged when you switch templates.
One column layouts provide the most predictable reading order for applicant tracking systems.
