Why a Retail Manager CV is different
A Retail Manager CV is read against very different signals to a generic CV in the UK. Turnover and headcount get buried. LFL and shrinkage figures go missing. Real outcomes get reduced to 'managed store'.
Sausage Dog leads with turnover, headcount, LFL, shrinkage. Uses real retail language: KPIs, conversion, ATV, footfall, shrink, payroll. Rewrites bullets around store performance and people.

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