I am Jagan Krishnaraj, the person behind the service ResponsiveCV.com since Feb 2013.

Responsive CV just occurred as an idea on FEB 2013, and it first went live on Nov 2013. From that time until now, ResponsiveCV served more than 50,000 people worldwide.

The mobile devices were just developing at that time & the mobile screen sizes are too small to create a resume.

So the responsive cv was created focused mainly to work on desktop browsers.

So much has been changed since then. Now it’s May 2020, Mobile devices have become so much powerful than desktop PC’s and the screen sizes became so much comfortable to seamlessly create and edit a complete resume.

So this update is focused to support all mobile device browsers seamlessly. The new design made to access features seamlessly both on PC and mobile devices.

Also I added some new interesting features that help you stand out.

The vision of ResponsiveCV since its launch is to help you make an awesome first impression with your CV.

In this upgrade, I took that vision a step further.

What features are new in this update on May 2020?

The first thing you noticed is the design. It’s made mobile friendly. The navigation is also improved.

Responsive CV iOS & Android APP got upgraded

The recent version of the iOS app is 1.5.0

The recent version on android is 1.9.0

If you have and android & responsiveCV is already installed, it doesn’t automatically update, you have to uninstall the previous version and update it to the latest version.

Android App got many negative reviews due to the inability to maintain it. All the people who gave negative reviews are free users.

Android is just evolving, the policy changes are so frequent & so drastic. So the app got removed from the android store for quite some time. It’s now revived.

Your Next JOB SEARCH is going to be seamless.

Nowadays personal branding is becoming very important.

You attached your name to your CV such as LeonCV.com, you got a job in 90 days and you forget about your CV.

But this domain name LeonCV.com will help you in your next job search maybe after 3 to 5 years.

By the time LeonCV would have become a brand, it can instantly show up in search results for your name.

Maybe you get calls out of the blue from the companies when you are not even looking. Your CV is always working for you whether or not you looking for the job.

How this upgrade affects present site users?

Positives
Now your cv loads from https://ucv.cc/.

It’s not a redirect. CV loads from short domain, previously your short link redirects to responsivecv.com.

Now as a premium user you can request a premium link for your cv like https://yourname.ucv.cc.

It gets activated instantly.

Once you click Attach Premium link, you have to search for the availability.

Once you click on Activate, it gets automatically assigned to your CV.

From then on your CV always loads from the short domain. NO REDIRECTION to responsive cv.com

As a precaution, I disabled the account expiry module. No premium account expires for the next 30 days,

It means existing users get 30 days extra days of validity.

Your account may show a warning about account expiry but it doesn’t actually expire.

Your CV’s continue to work until mid June.

Negatives

We faced issues in email delivery and receiving due to moving email delivery to Amazon SES. So you might not receive a warning about account expiry.

Removed the points-based system for extending account validity for all users.

Your account can show a false warning message about account expiry even though it has validity.

Sometimes you receive emails twice or not receive emails at all. I am working to fix this issue s soon as possible.

Due to COVID19, there is limited support from amazon.

If you have contacted support and there is no response. Contact on Whatsapp for Quick Support

Technical Advantages for premium and platinum users.

Our servers are moved to AWS cloud. AWS cloud gives a lot of flexibility while keeping the maintenance minimal. I did pass on all benefits directly to users.

Premium and platinum users resume loads from separate AWS instance, which means your CVs get loaded faster.

Even if ResponsiveCV.com goes down your premium & platinum users CV’s continue to work.

Our email delivery is sent through Amazon Simple email service. So you find emails in your inbox always. Trust score is above 99%.

The images are stored in the s3 bucket and served through CloudFront CDN, so your CVs get loaded even faster.

ResponsiveCV is always dedicated to help you make an awesome first impression.
