My Real Impact
Impact starts from within. We just help you see it — And say it.
Most people see their work as tasks and activities. My Real Impact lets you see your impact — what your work actually delivers and the difference it makes — not just what you did. It changes more than your CV. Read on to see how.
Two candidates can have identical task lists — and completely different strategic value.
Nobody can tell the difference, because the causal link between a routine task and its business consequence almost never makes it onto the page. Most people have never been asked to reason it out in writing — hiring managers, promotion panels and boards are left guessing.
My Real Impact asks the questions a good coach would ask, and helps you write down the answer.
It's tempting to blame the algorithm for filtering you out. But the filter isn't broken — it's reading exactly what's on the page. Change what's on the page, and the same system that screened you out starts working for you.
Our questions might be tough. So is the AI screening you out. So is the hiring manager who never sees you.
Same career. Same facts. A completely different argument.
Task language
“Enabled automated Finance and Information Security workflows through accurate Oracle HCM position and organisation structures, maintained across full employee lifecycle transactions…”
Organised by employer and date. Proves the task was done correctly.
Enterprise impact
“Finance and Information Security depended directly on the accuracy of HR data for system access and workflow operations. Errors here carry immediate operational and compliance consequences…”
Organised by consequence and dependency. Proves why the work matters.
Same facts. The AI just asks the question that surfaces what they were already worth.
Four steps, one sitting.
Your CV — or your LinkedIn PDF
We lay out your roles, employers, and existing bullet points — ready to build from. No LinkedIn login required, just the profile PDF LinkedIn already lets you export yourself.
A short guided conversation
The AI administers the same 7 questions a real impact-rewrite session would ask — with adaptive follow-ups whenever an answer stays at task level instead of impact level.
AI drafts your Impact Profile
Every claim traces to something you said in-session or a fact already in your original CV. Nothing is invented — the AI reasons, it doesn't embellish.
You review, edit, approve
Every line is editable, and nothing exports without your sign-off. From there you can generate an Amended CV enriched with your Impact Profile, a Development Conversation Guide to share with your manager before the conversation happens, a Role Mandate that describes your current role in impact terms, and a Succession Role Mandate reasoning your own evidence one level up — each exportable as Word, PDF or Markdown.
“It is our culture, our values, and it is what we do when no one is watching.”
— Oxford Saïd Business School, on “Impact from Within”
Oxford's own tagline holds that impact isn't imposed top-down — it starts with individuals, radiates into how they work, and compounds into change the world can see.
My Real Impact operationalises the same belief Oxford is only asserting philosophically — surfacing the impact that already exists in your work, in your own words.
Straight answers before you start.
Does AI screening check specific categories — such as experience, leadership, qualifications — and filter me out if one is thin?
Not quite. Most automated screens don't grade you against a fixed set of headings. They look for specific terms tied to the role, and those terms can come from anywhere on your CV, not just the "right" section. Having less experience is a real disadvantage — but how you present what you do have counts for more than most people assume. It's safest to assume some form of AI screening is in play, even though not every employer or recruiter uses one.
Should I send a short CV or a long one?
Depends who reads it first. A tight, 2-3 page CV is the right call when you know a person is reading it directly — it's an easy, immediate pitch. But a CV that concise typically covers only 40-50% of the terms an automated screen is matching against, which is often enough to get filtered out before a person ever sees it.
A longer, more comprehensive CV is built for exactly that situation — carrying enough evidence to get past the cull. My Real Impact drafts both versions from the same underlying evidence, so you're never guessing which one to use.
Every CV should say what the work actually meant.
