Why a Paralegal CV is different
A Paralegal CV is read against very different signals to a generic CV in the UK. Practice area and matter type get buried. Drafting and bundling work reduces to 'supported lawyers'. Six seconds to stand out in a stack.
Sausage Dog leads with practice area, matter type, sector. Uses real legal language: drafting, bundling, e-disclosure, instruction, hearing. Rewrites bullets around matters, drafting and outcomes.

Frequently asked
How does Sausage Dog tailor a paralegal CV?+
Sausage Dog reads the paralegal 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 paralegal 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 paralegal 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 paralegal role.
Is it free to tailor a paralegal 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.
