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.
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.
05 / Job match
Write for one real role.
The checker finds recurring meaningful terms. It never inserts keywords automatically or encourages unsupported claims.
06 / 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.
07 / 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.
