Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about SnapCV.
Getting Started
What is SnapCV?
SnapCV is a job application tool that generates tailored CVs and cover letters
for specific job listings. You build your profile once, then generate a
customised application for each role in seconds.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes. The Free plan is free forever, no credit card required. You get 3
applications per month to try out the platform.
What do I need to set up before I can generate applications?
At minimum you need:
- Some work experience or education in your profile
- A job listing to generate for
The more complete your profile, the better the output. A full profile with
experience, education, skills, and a summary produces the strongest results.
Generating Applications
How does SnapCV tailor my CV to a job listing?
When you paste in a job description, SnapCV analyses the requirements and
matches them against your profile. It selects and highlights the experience,
skills, and achievements most relevant to that role, and writes a cover letter
that speaks directly to what the company is looking for.
What counts as one application?
Each time you generate a CV and cover letter for a specific job listing, that
uses one application credit. Re-downloading or editing a previously generated
application does not use an additional credit. Your quota resets at the start of
each billing cycle.
Can I edit the generated documents?
Yes. Every generated document can be reviewed and edited before you download it.
Most users find the first draft is strong enough to send with only small
changes.
How long does generation take?
Usually under 30 seconds.
Profile & Data
Do I need to re-enter my information for every application?
No. You enter your profile once and it’s used for all applications. The only
thing you provide each time is the job listing.
Can I have multiple CVs or profile variations?
Currently SnapCV maintains one profile per account. The tailoring happens at the
application level — each generated CV is already customised for the role you’re
applying to.
