Update my CV for the role below using only information supported by my current CV and experience notes. Do not invent employers, dates, titles, credentials, tools, metrics, scope, or outcomes. Target role: [JOB POSTING] Current CV: [CURRENT CV] Experience notes or corrections: [EXPERIENCE NOTES] Target location and work authorization, if relevant: [LOCATION AND WORK STATUS] First, identify the 6-10 requirements or signals that matter most in this posting. Separate required qualifications from preferred ones. Map each requirement to specific evidence from my materials; where evidence is missing, label it "gap" rather than trying to fill it.
Then produce a revised CV in this format: 1. A professional headline of 8-14 words matched to the role. 2. A three-line summary that names the relevant function, industry context, and strongest supported differentiators. 3. Experience entries in reverse chronological order. Keep each employer, title, and date accurate. Rewrite bullets with action, work context, and result where my notes support all three. Prioritize bullets that match the posting; remove duplicate or low-relevance bullets. 4. A focused skills section grouped as tools, functional skills, and domain knowledge. Include only skills I can substantiate. 5. A short "information needed" list for any gaps that could materially improve the application. Keep it to two pages or fewer in plain ATS-friendly text. Avoid tables, graphics, first-person language, vague claims such as "results-driven," and keyword stuffing. Preserve the original chronology, including career breaks. Before answering, check that every metric and claim appears in my materials, and check that at least two bullets clearly connect to two separate high-priority requirements. Ask up to three clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.

Variations
Career-change CV
Use this when moving into a function or industry where your prior titles do not make the fit obvious.
Rewrite my CV for a career-change application using only supported facts. Target role: [TARGET ROLE]. Current CV: [CURRENT CV]. Transferable projects and training: [TRANSFERABLE EVIDENCE]. Identify the three strongest bridges between my prior work and the target role, then create a one-page ATS-friendly CV. Put transferable outcomes before industry jargon, retain accurate titles and dates, and label true gaps. Do not claim direct experience I do not have. Check that every listed skill is supported by my materials.
Executive CV
Use this when applying for director, VP, or head-of-function roles.
Rebuild my CV for this leadership role: [JOB POSTING]. Current CV and achievements: [CV AND ACHIEVEMENTS]. Scope details: [TEAM BUDGET AND BUSINESS SCOPE]. Produce a two-page executive CV emphasizing strategy, operating scale, decisions, cross-functional influence, and measurable business outcomes. Show progression without overstating reporting lines or P&L ownership. Include a concise leadership profile and selected-impact section. Check every number, leadership claim, and title against my inputs, then list any executive-level evidence still missing.
CV bullet audit
Use this when the structure is sound and you need sharper, more credible experience bullets.
Audit these CV bullets for a [TARGET ROLE]: [CV BULLETS]. Relevant job requirements: [JOB REQUIREMENTS]. For each bullet, mark keep, rewrite, combine, or remove. Rewrite only where the source supports the claim, using action, scope, and outcome. Explain which requirement each retained bullet addresses. Return a two-column list with original and revised bullet, followed by five missing facts that would make the strongest bullets more persuasive. Do not add metrics or tools that I have not supplied.
Tips
- Keep the source CV as a factual record; use tailored versions for different roles instead of changing history to fit one posting.
- A useful bullet usually shows a decision or action, the scope of the work, and a verified result; a task list alone rarely distinguishes you.
- Match the job posting's terminology only where it accurately describes your experience, especially for regulated skills and software platforms.
- If a role requires an absent credential or authorization, state it accurately in the application rather than trying to hide it with keywords.
FAQ
Can AI update my CV without exaggerating my experience?
Yes, if you provide the source CV and verified notes and require it to flag gaps. You remain responsible for confirming every claim before submitting.
Should I tailor a CV for every application?
Tailor the summary, skills ordering, and selected bullets for materially different roles. Keep employers, titles, dates, and factual achievements consistent.
Will an ATS reject an AI-written CV?
An ATS reads structure and keywords, not who drafted it. Plain headings, standard dates, accurate terms, and no tables improve parsing.
