How to Install the CVCircuit Chrome Extension in 60 Seconds

The CVCircuit Chrome extension is free to install and takes less than a minute to set up. Here's exactly how to do it.

Before You Start

You'll need:

Google Chrome browser (version 88 or later)
A CVCircuit account (free to create)

If you don't have a CVCircuit account, you can create one at CVCircuit.co.uk — it only takes a moment.

Step 1: Open the Chrome Web Store

Open Chrome and navigate to the Chrome Web Store. Search for "CVCircuit" or click the direct link from the CVCircuit website.

Step 2: Find the CVCircuit Extension

Look for the CVCircuit extension in the search results. You'll recognise it by the CVCircuit logo and branding. Check that the developer is listed as CVCircuit to ensure you're installing the authentic extension.

Step 3: Click "Add to Chrome"

Click the blue "Add to Chrome" button on the extension's listing page. A confirmation dialogue will appear asking you to confirm that you want to add the extension.

Step 4: Confirm the Installation

Click "Add extension" in the confirmation dialogue. Chrome will download and install the extension automatically. This takes just a few seconds.

Step 5: Pin the Extension (Recommended)

Once installed, click the puzzle piece icon in your Chrome toolbar (top right). Find CVCircuit in the list of extensions and click the pin icon to keep it visible in your toolbar at all times.

Pinning the extension means the CVCircuit icon is always one click away, no matter which website you're browsing.

Step 6: Sign In to Your CVCircuit Account

Click the CVCircuit icon in your toolbar. If you're not already signed in, you'll be prompted to log in with your CVCircuit credentials. Enter your email and password, and you're in.

You're Ready

Once signed in, you're ready to start saving jobs. Browse to any job listing on LinkedIn, Indeed, Reed, or any other job board — you'll see the CVCircuit icon in your toolbar ready to capture the opportunity.

Tip: The extension works across all websites, not just major job boards. Found an interesting role on a company's careers page? Save it just as easily.

Troubleshooting

The extension icon doesn't appear? Check that the extension is enabled. Go to chrome://extensions and verify CVCircuit is toggled on.

I can't sign in? Ensure your CVCircuit account is active. Try signing in at CVCircuit.co.uk first to confirm your credentials are correct.

The extension seems slow? Try refreshing the page or restarting Chrome. Extensions occasionally need a browser restart after installation.

Install the CVCircuit extension now and make every job search session more productive.
