|  | | | | | | FRAMEWORK | How I tailor my CV for each job | Hiring teams are comparing hundreds of applications… | Create a highly-targeted CV that will make you stand out in 3 simple steps: | | 1. Create a “Master” LaTeX CV | Use LaTeX to create a clean, well-structured CV (I use this Overleaf template) Include all of your experience, with as many bullet points as possible for each role - this gives AI enough material to choose from later
| 2. Find the job description you want to target | Find the full job description for the role you’re applying to, so the AI can correctly identify responsibilities, skills, and keywords For example, this Software Engineer at Revolut role
| 3. Let AI filter relevant experience | Instead of rewriting your CV manually for each role, you let AI: | Rewrite your CV Select the most relevant achievements Match keywords from the JD Output a polished, role-specific LaTeX CV

Keep the output in LaTeX format. | | | | [attach your master LaTeX CV and job description] |
