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

PROMPT

Create multiple highly-targeted CVs in minutes

To generate a CV like in the video above, here’s the exact prompt I use in Claude.

Copy-paste this:

Optimise my CV for the job description below.
From my experience at Company X, select the 5 most relevant bullet points.
From my experience at Company Y, select the 5 most relevant bullet points.
Keep the output in LaTeX format.

[attach your master LaTeX CV and job description]

This is the approach I use (and teach my students) to generate multiple tailored CVs, faster and cleaner than manual editing.
