Why a Graphic Designer CV is different
A Graphic Designer CV is read against very different signals to a generic CV in the UK. Software list takes more space than the work. Brand, digital and print blur into 'designed assets'. Real impact gets reduced to 'created visuals'.
Sausage Dog reads the JD: brand, digital, print, packaging, motion. Rewrites bullets around brand, audience and outcomes. Surfaces shipped work and brands worked on.

Frequently asked
How does Sausage Dog tailor a graphic designer CV?+
Sausage Dog reads the graphic designer job description you paste in, identifies the keywords, responsibilities, and qualifications it asks for, then rewrites your existing CV to mirror that language while keeping every fact in your real experience intact. The result is an ATS-friendly CV in under a minute.
Is the output ATS-friendly for graphic designer roles?+
Yes. The tailored CV uses plain formatting, mirrors the exact keywords in the job description, and keeps section headings (Experience, Education, Skills) that applicant tracking systems are built to parse. No tables, columns, or fancy headers that break ATS scans.
Will the rewritten graphic designer CV still sound like me?+
That is the whole point. Sausage Dog rewrites your real bullet points in your tone, not corporate jargon. It does not invent qualifications or experience you do not have, it just sharpens what is already there for the specific graphic designer role.
Is it free to tailor a graphic designer CV?+
Yes. You can tailor one CV per day on the free tier with no card needed. Premium (£9/month) gives unlimited tailoring plus cover letters, interview prep, and LinkedIn rewrites for the same role.
