Who it's for

For every kind of career journey.

Whether you are still studying, in your first job, working shifts, aiming for promotion or changing direction, your experience is real - it just has not been written down in the language employers screen for.

EarnedStory is for you if...

  • You are studying or have just graduated and are not sure how your experience reads
  • You are an apprentice or in your first job and want to build a record early
  • You take on more than your job title suggests
  • You are applying for roles and hearing nothing back
  • You want a promotion but do not know how to prove you are ready
  • You are thinking about changing career or industry
  • You are returning to work after a break
  • You freeze in interviews because you cannot recall examples on the spot

It is probably not for you if...

  • You want someone to write experience you do not have.
  • You want a recruiter. EarnedStory is not a recruitment agency and does not employ or place candidates. Career Pro may show relevant vacancies supplied by authorised third-party job platforms.
  • You want your skills officially verified. We help you evidence them, which is not the same as accrediting them.

Guides written around specific kinds of work

By situation

What EarnedStory does for people like you.

EarnedStory turns your real work, education, projects and achievements into evidence you can reuse across careers, CVs, applications, promotions and interviews.

Graduates

Your degree is on the page but the part-time work, projects and placements that show what you can actually do are barely mentioned.

What it records
Your degree, modules, dissertation, projects, placements and any part-time or seasonal work.
What you can create
A graduate CV that gives your study proper prominence, evidenced skills and interview stories.
Plan that usually fits
Career Passport — You are building a record before applying seriously.

Apprentices

You are learning on the job, but the day-to-day competence you are building rarely gets written down anywhere you can reuse.

What it records
Your apprenticeship standard, workplace tasks, assessments and the responsibilities you take on.
What you can create
A CV that shows applied skill, plus evidence for your end-point assessment conversations.
Plan that usually fits
Career Passport — Unlimited achievements and evidence storage while you train.

Frontline workers

You may already lead shifts, train colleagues, solve problems and maintain standards. On paper it reads as a job title and nothing more.

What it records
Shifts you led, colleagues you trained, problems you fixed and standards you kept.
What you can create
Achievement-led CV points, a promotion case and STAR interview answers.
Plan that usually fits
Career Passport — Turn everyday responsibility into evidence employers understand.

Retail workers

Availability, shrinkage, training and complaint handling are measurable — but they usually never make it onto a CV.

What it records
Availability and stock work, till and cash controls, training, complaints resolved.
What you can create
A retail CV with figures, and matches into operations and management routes.
Plan that usually fits
Career Passport — Career matching plus CV creation from what you already do.

Hospitality workers

Fast, skilled work under pressure gets written off as 'bar work' when it involves supervision, compliance and service recovery.

What it records
Shift supervision, rotas, allergen and licensing compliance, guest complaints resolved.
What you can create
A CV that names the skill in the work, and interview stories about pressure and recovery.
Plan that usually fits
Career Passport — A full record of transferable, evidenced skills.

Logistics workers

Safety, accuracy and throughput are tracked daily at work, then forgotten when you apply somewhere else.

What it records
Pick accuracy, safety briefings, shift performance, licences and certificates.
What you can create
An operations-focused CV and evidence for team leader applications.
Plan that usually fits
Career Passport — Evidence storage for licences plus career matching.

People seeking promotion

Your manager sees your day-to-day, not the case for the next role. Asking feels awkward without evidence in front of you.

What it records
Results, cover you have provided, people you have developed, changes you proposed.
What you can create
A promotion pack matched to the role profile, with honest development areas included.
Plan that usually fits
Career Passport — Promotion packs are built from your Passport evidence.

Career changers

Your experience is relevant, but job titles hide it, so applications get filtered out before anyone reads the detail.

What it records
Transferable skills with the evidence behind each one, plus any study or qualifications.
What you can create
A skills-led CV, career matches with the reasoning shown, and a roadmap into the new field.
Plan that usually fits
Career Pro — Tailoring each application matters most when you are changing direction.

People returning to work

A gap on the CV attracts more attention than the eleven years of experience before it.

What it records
Previous roles, skills kept current, voluntary and caring responsibilities.
What you can create
A skills-led CV that leads with capability, and interview answers that handle the gap directly.
Plan that usually fits
Career Passport — Rebuild a full, confident record first.

Active job applicants

Tailoring every application properly takes hours, so most get sent generic and land nowhere.

What it records
Everything above, reused across every application rather than rewritten each time.
What you can create
Tailored CVs, cover letters, supporting statements, interview packs and a tracker.
Plan that usually fits
Career Pro or Career Unlimited — Career Pro for up to five documents a month; Career Unlimited if you apply more often than that.

Your experience already counts.
