Build or tailor an academic CV for faculty, postdoc, research or fellowship applications: publications, grants, teaching, supervision and service in the order the field expects, with consistent citations. Use when asked to write my academic CV, update my CV for a lectureship, tenure-track or postdoc application, format my publications list, or adapt my academic CV for an industry research role. Produces the full academic CV, a field-appropriate section order, a clean publications list in one citation style, and a two-page summary version when asked.

Set up and keep a job application tracker: one master CV, every tailored version, where each was sent, its status, next action and follow-up date, plus a weekly review of what is working. Use when asked to track my job applications, organise my job search, which CV did I send to which company, or what should I follow up on this week. Produces a tracker table (markdown or CSV) with one row per application, a version log linking each to its tailored CV, this week's actions, and a short weekly review of response rates by source.

Work out which applicant tracking system a job uses from its application link, and give the formatting rules that system parses safely. Use when asked which ATS does this company use, will my CV get through the ATS, is my CV ATS friendly, or how should I format for Workday, Greenhouse, Lever or Taleo. Produces the detected system with the evidence, a parsing-safe formatting checklist, the file type to upload, and a check of a supplied CV against the rules.

Produce a matched Chinese and English CV (中英文简历) from one set of facts: each version follows its own conventions rather than a literal translation, with names, titles, dates, education and company names rendered correctly in both. Use when asked for a Chinese and English resume, translate my CV into Chinese, 中英文简历, 英文简历, or apply to a foreign company in China or a Chinese company abroad. Produces the Chinese CV, the English CV, a consistency table proving the facts match, and a glossary of the terms chosen.

Write a CV for someone moving into a new field, leading with transferable evidence instead of job titles that do not match. Use when asked to write a CV for a career change, I'm moving from teaching into product, how do I present my experience for a new industry, or my job titles don't fit the jobs I want. Produces a hybrid CV with a targeted summary and a relevant-skills section backed by achievements, a translation table from old-field language to new-field language, and an honest list of gaps with how to close them.

Interview someone about their working life and turn the answers into a master CV inventory: every role, project and achievement with real numbers, before any CV is tailored. Use when asked to build my master CV, get my experience down properly, I don't know what to put on my CV, or as the first step before a tailored CV. Produces a structured inventory of roles, achievements in a fixed shape with evidence and numbers, skills with proof, and a list of gaps to fill. Never invents a number.

Write a UK Civil Service or NHS application: behaviour statements in the Success Profiles format, a personal statement mapped to the essential criteria, and a CV in the form these schemes expect. Use when asked to write my civil service application, answer Success Profiles behaviours, write a 250-word behaviour example, write my NHS supporting information, or apply on Civil Service Jobs or NHS Jobs. Produces each behaviour statement within the word limit using a situation, task, action, result structure, a criteria-mapped personal statement, and a check against the advert's essential criteria.

Produce a CV shaped for one target company and role: its applicant tracking system, the country's conventions, the sector's norms, its published values and the job ad, with every choice explained. Use when asked to write my CV for a specific company, tailor my CV to Google, Amazon or any named employer, make my CV fit this company's format, or turn my experience into a CV for this job. Produces the tailored CV, a short format rationale citing public sources with dates, and a list of claims the person must be ready to defend. Never invents experience or insider knowledge.

Write a one-page CV for management consulting, investment banking or private equity, in the dense format those screeners expect: education first, quantified bullets, leadership and interests that show drive. Use when asked to write my consulting CV, banking resume, PE CV, make my CV for McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Goldman or a boutique bank, or fit my experience on one page for finance. Produces the one-page CV, a bullet-by-bullet strength check, and the three lines a screener will read first.

Apply the CV conventions of the country where the job is: length, photo, personal details, date and name order, spelling, paper size and the documents expected alongside. Use when asked what a CV looks like in Germany, Japan, China, the UK, the US, France, India, the Gulf or Australia, should I put a photo on my CV, convert my US resume to a UK CV, or make a 简历, 履歴書 or Lebenslauf. Produces the country rules as a checklist, the CV converted to them, and the personal details that must be removed or added, with the legal reason where there is one.

Turn a finished CV into a parsing-safe Word file ready to upload: one column, real heading styles, no tables, headers or images, the right paper size, and correct fonts for Chinese, Japanese or Korean text. Use when asked to give me my CV as a Word file, export my CV to docx, make an ATS-safe CV file, or produce my 简历 as a Word document. Produces the .docx file, a text read-back proving it parses, and the upload file name.

Check a CV for claims that would not survive an interview, a reference or a background check: inflated titles, unprovable numbers, team results claimed as personal, date fudges and skills with no evidence. Use when asked to check my CV is accurate, will my CV hold up in an interview, is this claim too much, or as the last step before sending a CV. Produces a claim-by-claim risk table with the likely interview question, a safer truthful wording for each risky line, and a list of facts to verify before sending.

Write an executive or senior leadership CV and the matching board biography: scope, business results and governance up front, two to three pages, written for search firms and boards. Use when asked to write my executive CV, director or C-suite resume, CV for a headhunter, board bio, or non-executive director application. Produces the executive CV with a scope line per role, a results-led profile, a 150-word board biography in the third person, and a short brief for search consultants.

Write a US federal resume for a USAJOBS application: the long, detailed format with hours per week, grade-relevant duties and specialised experience written to the announcement's qualifications. Use when asked to write my federal resume, apply on USAJOBS, turn my private-sector resume into a government resume, or qualify for a GS grade. Produces the federal resume, a qualifications crosswalk against the announcement's specialised experience, and a checklist of the details USAJOBS reviewers reject applications for missing.

Write a first CV for a student or recent graduate with little work experience, using coursework, projects, part-time jobs, societies and volunteering as real evidence. Use when asked to write my first CV, graduate CV, internship resume, I have no experience what do I put, or my CV for campus recruitment or a graduate scheme. Produces a one-page CV with education first, evidence-based project and activity bullets, a skills section tied to proof, and a list of quick additions that would strengthen it before deadlines.

Score how well a CV covers a job ad, requirement by requirement, and say honestly what to do about each gap. Use when asked how well do I match this job, score my CV against this job description, what am I missing for this role, or should I apply. Produces a requirement table marked covered, partly covered or missing with the evidence, a fit score with its method shown, and for each gap a truthful framing, a quick way to close it, or advice not to claim it.

Simulate a busy recruiter's first scan of a CV for a specific role: what they read in the first seconds, what they decide, and why, then step out of character to say what would change the decision. Use when asked would a recruiter shortlist my CV, review my CV like a recruiter, what does a screener see first, or why am I not getting interviews. Produces the in-character scan with the reading order and a shortlist, maybe or reject decision, then a debrief with the three changes most likely to flip it.

Write a short message asking someone at a target company for a referral or a conversation, sized to how well the person knows them, with an easy way to say no. Use when asked how do I ask for a referral, message someone at Google about a job, ask a former colleague to refer me, or write a LinkedIn message to an employee. Produces the message for the right channel and relationship strength, a ready-to-forward blurb the referrer can paste, and a single follow-up. For general networking, see networking-outreach.

Write a CV for someone returning to work after a career break (caring, health, parenting, travel, redundancy or anything else), presenting the gap honestly and briefly and leading with current, relevant evidence. Use when asked how do I explain a gap on my CV, write my CV after a career break, returning to work after maternity or caring, or my CV has a two-year gap. Produces a CV with the break stated in one plain line, recent evidence brought forward, a short spoken answer for interviews, and a list of returnship programmes and refreshers worth checking.

Map a person's achievements to a target company's published values or leadership principles, so the CV leads with the evidence that company says it rewards. Use when asked to align my CV with Amazon's leadership principles, match my experience to this company's values, or which of my achievements fit this company's culture. Produces a value-by-value evidence map with strength ratings, the reordered achievement list for the CV, and the values with no evidence yet. Uses only the company's public pages, cited with a date.
