On a personal note - I always advise friends to tailor their CV for every application. It is a pain and it takes time, but the days of just submitting 'your CV' for every job are gone.
If the job spec says 'Team management' and your CV says 'People leader', change it to match the spec. One it helps if the employer does use AI, and two if there is a first round human filter, they will likely be looking for the exact keywords they are expecting.
Maybe this is something that AI could be good for, truthfully updating your CV to align with the job advert?
- JohnFen 1y ago> I always advise friends to tailor their CV for every application. This is absolutely key and always has been. I'm often surprised that there are people who don't do this.
- ljf 1y agoI review a lot of CVs and it is clear a lot of people don’t update. I always have since the 00s but I don’t think we are the majority.
- major505 1y agoyea, I found a application called kick resume where you put the job description and it helps. Saves a lot of time, but you still need to pass a fine comb over it. Is kinda expensive, but lets see if if pays itself.
