Step 01

Compare my CV with the job

Compare My CV With This Job Description

Compare your current CV with a real job description to see where your evidence is strong, weak or absent before you start rewriting anything.

Compare my CV with the job description I provide. Base the analysis only on the documents I give you. Do not invent experience, qualifications, achievements or skills. Create a table with these columns: - Job requirement - How important it appears in the job description: Essential / Desirable / Unclear - Evidence currently present in my CV - Strength of evidence: Strong / Partial / Weak / None found - What would make the evidence clearer, if anything Then summarise: 1. My strongest matches. 2. Requirements I appear to meet but do not evidence clearly enough. 3. Requirements where I have provided no supporting evidence. 4. Words or phrases in the job description that are important to reflect accurately if they genuinely match my experience. 5. The 3 highest-priority areas to review before I tailor the CV. Important: - Treat absence from my CV as "not evidenced", not proof that I lack the skill. - Do not recommend adding keywords that would make a claim untrue. - Distinguish an actual experience gap from a wording/evidence gap. - If the job description is vague, say what cannot be determined confidently.

Step 02

Find weak or missing evidence

Find Weak or Missing Evidence in My CV

Identify where your CV makes claims without enough proof, where useful experience is buried and where a job requirement is not evidenced at all.

Review my CV for weak or missing evidence against the job I am targeting. I will provide my CV and the job description. Focus on evidence quality, not cosmetic wording. For each important requirement, classify the CV evidence as: - Strong: there is specific, relevant evidence. - Present but vague: the claim exists but lacks enough detail or proof. - Indirect: related experience is present but the connection is not clear. - Not evidenced: I have not shown evidence in the CV supplied. For every "present but vague", "indirect" or "not evidenced" area: 1. Explain what is missing. 2. Tell me what type of real example or detail could strengthen it, such as scope, outcome, responsibility, frequency, tool, stakeholder or measurable result. 3. Do not create the missing evidence for me. Finish with a short priority list of the evidence gaps most likely to matter for this particular job. Rules: - Do not assume I have experience that is not in the CV. - Do not turn desirable requirements into essential ones unless the job description does. - Do not invent numbers or achievements.

Step 03

Ask me for real evidence

Ask Me for Real Evidence to Strengthen My CV

Ask targeted questions that help you uncover genuine examples from your own experience before anything new is added to your CV.

Help me find real evidence from my own experience that could strengthen my CV. I will give you: - my CV; - a job description or list of weak evidence areas. Your job is to interview me for evidence, not invent it. First identify up to 5 high-priority areas where stronger evidence would help. Then ask me one question at a time. Use questions that help uncover specific facts such as: - what I actually did; - who or what I was responsible for; - the scale or frequency; - the problem or goal; - tools or methods I genuinely used; - what changed as a result; - feedback, measures or outcomes I can verify. Wait for my answer before asking the next question. If I cannot provide evidence for an area, accept that and move on. After enough questioning, summarise only the evidence I have confirmed. Separate: - confirmed details; - details that still need checking; - requirements for which we still have no evidence. Do not embellish my answers or convert uncertainty into a confident claim.

Step 04

Improve the CV honestly

Improve My CV Using Only Confirmed Evidence

Improve relevant CV wording using only experience and evidence you have actually confirmed, with no invented achievements or inflated claims.

Improve the relevant parts of my CV using only evidence I provide and confirm. I will give you: - my current CV; - the job description; - any additional evidence or examples I have confirmed. For each section or bullet you change: 1. Preserve the truth of what I did. 2. Make the action and relevance clearer. 3. Add specific scope, outcomes or measures only when I have supplied them. 4. Use terminology from the job description only where it accurately describes my experience. 5. Prefer concrete evidence over inflated adjectives. 6. Keep the style concise and suitable for a CV. Output: - Original wording - Suggested wording - Why the change helps - Evidence used for the change Then provide a clean revised version of only the sections you changed. Important: - Never invent metrics, responsibilities, tools, qualifications or achievements. - Do not imply I meet a requirement if the evidence does not support it. - If a stronger rewrite would require information I have not provided, ask for it or leave the claim conservative.

Step 05

Check the final claims

Check My CV for Unsupported or Exaggerated Claims

Check a revised CV for wording that overstates, implies or invents experience beyond the evidence you have actually supplied.

Audit my CV for unsupported, exaggerated or potentially misleading claims. I will provide: - the CV I plan to use; - the original CV or evidence notes that show what I can support; - the job description, if relevant. Check each material claim and classify it as: - Supported - Supported but stronger wording may overstate it - Not enough evidence supplied - Contradicted by the evidence supplied Pay particular attention to: - numbers and percentages; - ownership words such as led, managed, delivered or created; - seniority or decision-making responsibility; - tools, qualifications and technical skills; - outcomes attributed directly to me; - claims that mirror the job description more strongly than my evidence does. For anything risky: 1. Quote only the short phrase that causes the concern. 2. Explain why it may overstate the evidence. 3. Suggest a more accurate alternative where possible. Do not assume a claim is false simply because I have not provided proof; label it "not enough evidence supplied". CV to audit: [PASTE OR ATTACH] Evidence/original CV: [PASTE OR ATTACH]
