Question 1

What is Velu?

Accepted Answer

Velu exists because your CV can't show everything you've done. It forces you to compress years of work into bullet points. Velu gives you a place to capture the full picture: your experience, your projects, and how everything connects - without cutting it down. It's not a resume replacement. It's what your resume points to.

Question 2

How is this different from LinkedIn?

Accepted Answer

LinkedIn is built for visibility through content: feeds, posts, and an algorithm that decides what gets seen. Velu is built for clarity. No feed, no competition for attention - just a clean, structured representation of your work that shows what you actually do.

Question 3

Is Velu a resume replacement?

Accepted Answer

No. A resume is something you tailor for a specific opportunity. Velu is the complete version of your career that sits behind it. Instead of rewriting your experience every time, you build it once in Velu and use it whenever it matters.

Question 4

Why would I use this if I already have a CV?

Accepted Answer

Because your CV leaves things out. It has to. Space limits force you to cut detail, context, and proof of your work. Velu gives you a place to keep the full version - so when someone wants more than a summary, you're ready.

Question 5

Is Velu free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Building, publishing, and sharing your folio is free and will remain free. Optional paid features may be introduced later for things like custom domains or guidance on improving how your career is presented, but nothing you rely on today will be taken away.

Question 6

Can I control who sees what?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sections and section fields have a visibility setting: public, restricted to people you share a link with, or completely hidden. You decide what the world sees, what select people see, and what stays private.

Question 7

Is Velu only useful when I'm job hunting?

Accepted Answer

Velu is useful both when you're actively job hunting and when you're not. When you're applying, you can share your folio directly with recruiters or hiring managers so they can see the full depth of your work beyond a resume. You can also export your folio data and use it with AI tools or resume builders to generate tailored resumes in minutes. Outside of job hunting, Velu acts as a living record of your career. You keep it updated over time, so when an opportunity comes up, you're not starting from scratch. Your full career is always ready—whether you're actively looking or not.

Question 8

Who is Velu for?

Accepted Answer

Anyone whose work doesn't fit neatly into bullet points. Consultants, operators, analysts, managers, freelancers, anyone. If your work has depth, context, or progression, Velu gives you a way to represent it properly.

Question 9

Can I still use other tools alongside Velu?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you should. Use a resume for applications. Use LinkedIn for networking. Use Velu as the full, structured version of your career that both of those can point to.

Question 10

What happens as my career grows?

Accepted Answer

You don't start over, you update. Add new roles, projects, and achievements over time, and your folio stays current everywhere it's been shared. No rewriting, no rebuilding.
