Why a Welder CV is different
A Welder CV is read against very different signals to a generic CV in the UK. Coding, NVQ and CSWIP get buried under filler. Your real fab shop or site work gets reduced to 'welding'. Fabricators scan, they don't read.
Sausage Dog leads with coded welds, processes, materials, NVQ, CSWIP. Uses real shop language: MIG, TIG, MMA, stainless, pipe, structural, coded. Rewrites bullets around jobs, materials and tolerances.

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