AI for job seekers: tailor your CV summary and prepare for the interview

Rewrite your CV summary to match a pasted job ad without inventing experience, then generate the interview questions that ad implies. All of it runs on a free tier.

In this lesson you will

Tailor a CV summary to a specific job ad using only your real experience
Generate likely interview questions from the ad and draft answers to check
Keep the model from inventing qualifications you do not have

Job seekers get two things from AI that are worth having: a CV summary that mirrors the language of the ad, and a rehearsal partner that asks the questions the ad implies. They get one thing that is dangerous: a model that upgrades your experience without telling you. Both tasks below are built to stop that.

Task 1: a CV summary tailored to one ad

Generic versus tailored, for the same person applying to a customer-success role.
Version	Summary	Why it matters
Generic	Motivated professional with strong communication skills seeking a challenging role.	Says nothing the recruiter can match to the ad
Tailored	Customer support lead with 3 years handling B2B accounts, cut ticket backlog 40% by introducing a triage rota, comfortable with Zendesk and HubSpot.	Uses the ad's words (B2B, Zendesk) and your real numbers; nothing invented

Your turn

Your turn: tailor the summary

Your current CV summaryPaste the job ad

Rewrite my CV summary for this job. Use the job ad's language where my experience genuinely matches. Do not add skills, tools, years or achievements that are not in my current summary. 3 sentences, under 70 words, first person without "I".

MY CURRENT SUMMARY:
[YOUR SUMMARY]

JOB AD:
[JOB AD]

Hint: "Do not add skills that are not in my current summary" is the line that keeps you honest. Then read the output and check it anyway.

Task 2: interview questions from the ad

The same ad tells you what the interview will ask. Every requirement in it ("cut churn", "priorities change weekly") is a question in disguise, and a model is good at turning requirements back into questions. Run this one as written; the ad is included.

Lesson FAQ

Will recruiters know I used AI on my CV?

Not if the content is yours. What gets noticed is a summary that sounds like every other AI-written summary or, worse, claims you cannot back up in interview. Tailoring your real experience to the ad's language is what a careful applicant has always done; the model just does it faster.

Can AI write my cover letter too?

Yes, with the same guard: give it your real experience and the ad, and tell it not to add anything. Then edit it into your own voice. A cover letter that reads as generated usually reads as generic, and generic is the problem you were trying to solve.

Is a $20 plan worth it during a job search?

Usually not. A job search is a few short prompts a day, well within a free tier. Pay only if you hit the cap repeatedly, and pick the cheapest step up rather than assuming $20 is the entry price.

Should I paste the whole job ad?

Yes. The model matches your experience to the ad's exact wording, so the more of the ad it sees, the better the tailoring. Remove the company's boilerplate about benefits if you want a shorter prompt.
