Before you start.
Can I include surveys, volunteering and training?
Yes. Label each record so an employer can see what kind of experience it represents. Describe what you actually did and keep courses or observation distinct from surveys you carried out.
Does this replace a skills log or licence application?
No. It prepares a CV draft from selected details you supply. Keep your source records and use the relevant professional or licensing process for formal evidence and assessment.
Will it extract surveys from my CV automatically?
You can upload a CV or paste its text as background, then add and review survey records yourself. The starter does not automatically extract survey logs or infer methods, licences or competency levels.
What do I pay for?
Creating, reviewing and copying the starter draft is free, as is the formatting preview. Standard Google Docs, Word and PDF exports cost $9 USD once. There is no subscription or ongoing logbook service.
