Free Environmental CV Assessment
Are you technically invisible?
Find out how clearly your technical experience is communicated to environmental-sector employers.
Upload your CV or paste the text directly.
The assessment reviews four areas of your profile and identifies where your experience may be difficult for employers to interpret.
Commercial Visibility
Our paid assessments focus on four pillars:
Does your CV show delivery and responsibility, rather than simply proximity to the work?
Regulatory Fluency
Are relevant regulatory frameworks, consenting routes and professional contexts applied accurately?
Market Positioning
Can an employer quickly understand the roles, level and technical direction you are targeting?
Technical Visibility
Are your methods, outputs, project responsibilities and technical specialism clearly named?
The assessment is automated and takes approximately a few minutes to complete. Your free result is not a personal review and does not replace a paid Shearwater service.
What your result means
The assessment identifies how clearly your current CV communicates your technical capability.
A lower score does not necessarily mean that your experience is weak. It usually means that the evidence is difficult to interpret, too general, or not positioned clearly enough for the roles you are targeting.
Your detailed result highlights the main issues affecting your profile and identifies the priority area to address first.
Automated assessment versus personal review
The free assessment identifies common visibility and positioning issues using a structured scoring system.
Paid Shearwater services go further. Josh reviews the full profile, interprets the experience in context and either diagnoses the specific positioning problem or rebuilds the relevant documents.
Graduate or early-career
For students, graduates and early-career environmental professionals who need their experience presented more clearly.
Experienced professional
For environmental professionals seeking progression, repositioning or a move into a different role or market.
All paid services are delivered in writing. No calls are required.
Standard delivery is five to seven working days.
Most candidates know something isn't working.
Few know exactly why.
Shearwater identifies the specific issues preventing a profile from reading clearly to environmental employers.
