Tailor your resume to any job description with AI

How it works

Step 1 — Provide a base CV. Upload an existing PDF (AdaptMyCV will parse it into structured data), pick one you've already built on AdaptMyCV, or start from a blank form. Either way you land in an editor with every section (summary, experience, skills, education, languages) fully editable before the tailoring runs.

Step 2 — Paste the job description. Copy the JD as a single block. AdaptMyCV reads it line by line, extracts the explicit keywords (hard skills, tools, certifications), the methodologies (Agile, SOC 2, GAAP), and the seniority signals (lead, senior, 5+ years). You don't pre-tag anything; the model figures out which keywords matter and ranks them.

Step 3 — Review and download. The AI rewrites three sections in parallel — header summary, skills, and experience bullets — and runs a honesty check on the output. You see a coverage report (which JD keywords landed) and an honesty report (any claims that don't map to your source CV) before anything is finalised. The PDF is ATS-friendly by default.

What the Adapt flow actually changes

Tailoring is not “rewrite the whole thing in a new style.” It's targeted: the AI keeps your facts and changes the framing, ordering, and word choice to match the JD's language. Here's a concrete (illustrative) example.

Example is illustrative — the actual model output depends on your source CV. The honesty check would only let Kubernetes and CI/CD land here if your CV already mentioned them; otherwise they'd be flagged for review.

The honesty check — what it actually prevents

Most AI resume tools happily add experience to make your CV “match.” That helps you pass the ATS — and then it fails you at interview, or worse, fails a background check after you've signed.

The honesty check blocks four classes of fabrication:

• Invented work history. No new companies, no changed job titles, no shifted dates. If a JD asks for 5 years of Python and your CV shows 3, your CV still shows 3.
• Invented credentials. No new degrees, no certifications you don't hold (AWS SAA, PMP, Scrum Master, etc.).
• Invented numbers. Percentages, revenue figures, team sizes — only what already appears in your CV gets used.
• Downgraded qualifications. A deterministic post-processor catches the model occasionally reducing a level to match the JD's minimum: English C1 stays at C1 even if the JD says B2. Same for seniority titles and language proficiency.

Four adaptation modes

• Safe — reorders and rephrases what's already in your CV. Doesn't add new claims. ~50-60% ATS keyword match.
• Balanced (default) — adds keywords your CV defensibly supports (e.g. “Scrum” if you mention Agile sprints). ~80-95% keyword match.
• Full Adopt — surfaces every keyword the JD cares about and that your role can credibly support. ~95-100% keyword match.
