Tailoring a CV and letter
How Careers tailors a CV and cover letter for one posting from your master profile: key qualifications, the truth check, languages, versions and the offline engine versus your AI.
For each posting Careers stores one content version: the fullest CV and letter that fit the posting, with a priority on every part that can be left out. A design then draws it at the length and density you choose.
What it does#
- Extracts the posting's requirements.
- Explains the match: covered with evidence, missing never claimed.
- Chooses three to five key qualifications: your own statements and statements derived from your facts (such as whole years in the freelance role and its industries), plus up to two proof lines for must-haves you cover.
- Selects and orders your lines. Everything keeps the id of its source.
- Writes the letter from the same facts.
The truth check#
The check runs on every saved CV and letter.
- CV: a line with no source, a number that is not in its source, or a skill not on your list is refused or put back to the source line.
- Letters and e-mails: checked sentence by sentence. Numbers, years of experience, skills, employers, titles, credentials, achievements, spoken languages, contact data and the signature must trace to your profile or the posting. A failure refuses the save and names each sentence and why. Opinion, such as "I am excited about this role", is free.
Languages#
A German posting gets a German CV and letter, built from your own German lines. A Dutch posting gets English documents with one controlled line saying that you write in English. Dutch is written only for a profile that lists it above basic. A letter is never machine-translated.
Offline engine or your AI#
| Mode | Label | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Offline engine | Offline engine | Deterministic, in your browser: selects, orders and lightly rephrases your lines |
| Your AI's rewrite | Your AI's rewrite | Your own AI rewords a version through Geenius OS and saves it. The check still applies |
An AI rewrite inside the app belongs to the AI features of Premium and Max, which are switched off in early access.
Versions#
Editing a version is the same CV. A new tailoring is a new version. An unsent application follows each new version; a sent one keeps the version it went out with.
Counting#
A tailored CV is counted once per posting, when it is first tailored. Deleting one gives nothing back. See Plans and limits.
