🧭 Build brief

⚡ In 20 seconds

  • Build: a system that rewrites a CV for a specific job and creates a matching LinkedIn profile.

  • Time: 2–3 hours to set up. About 1 hour per client after that (estimate).

  • Sell it: $100–$250 per client.

  • By Sunday night: a CV template, a client questionnaire, and your first finished CV.

What will you have by Sunday night?
A CV makeover system. A client sends their old CV and a job they want. AI finds what the employer is looking for, then rewrites the CV around the client’s real achievements. You add a LinkedIn headline and About section to match.

How does the system work?

Input: the old CV, 2–3 target job ads, and a short questionnaire
AI: finds what each job needs and rewrites the CV to match, using only true facts
Action: the client fills any gaps, and you format the final version
Output: a tailored CV, a LinkedIn headline and About section, and a cover letter template

Who should build this?

Anyone who writes well and wants a side income
Freelancers, VAs and career coaches
HR people and recruiters who already know what employers want

What does it improve?

Better job applications. A CV built for the job reads stronger than a generic one.
Faster delivery. AI handles the first draft, and you handle the judgment.
A service everyone understands. You don’t need to explain what a better CV is.

⏱ Build time
2-3 hours

⭐ Weekend playbook

Step 1 Define the input · 30 min

Make a short Google Form for clients. Ask for:

  • Their current CV

  • Links to 2–3 jobs they want to apply for

  • Their 3 proudest work achievements, with numbers if possible

  • Skills and tools they use

  • Anything they want to hide or explain, like a career gap

The achievements question matters most. Numbers turn a weak CV into a strong one: “Cut response time by 30%” beats “Handled customer emails.”

Step 2 Build the AI layer · 45 min

The AI does three jobs.

Job 1: read the job ads. It lists the skills, tools and results each employer asks for.

Job 2: rewrite the CV.

  • Start every bullet with an action verb

  • Show results, not just duties

  • Use the employer’s key words where they’re true for the client

  • Write [ADD NUMBER] where a result needs a figure

Job 3: write the LinkedIn headline and About section in the same voice.

Rule: the AI never invents a job, a skill, a number or a qualification. A fake claim can cost the client the job, or worse.

Step 3 Connect the workflow · 30 min

Trigger → AI → Filter → Action → Storage

  • Trigger: a client submits the form

  • AI: paste the CV, job ads and answers into the prompt below

  • Filter: send every [ADD NUMBER] back to the client to fill in

  • Action: paste the final text into a clean CV template

  • Storage: save as Client – Target role – Date

Use a simple layout. Many employers use software to scan CVs. Clear headings and no text inside images or tables are easier for that software to read.

Step 4 Test and improve · 40 min

Test on your own CV first, then on a friend’s.

A good CV passes four checks:

  • Every claim is true and confirmed by the client.

  • Most bullets show a result, not just a task.

  • The key skills from the job ad appear naturally.

  • It fits on 1–2 pages and reads easily in 30 seconds.

Review by hand if: the client is changing careers, has a long gap, or is applying abroad, where CV rules can differ.

Step 5 Deploy · 15 min

  • Save the prompt, questionnaire and CV template.

  • Make one “before and after” example, with permission and personal details removed.

  • Set two prices: CV only, and CV + LinkedIn.

You now have: a repeatable CV service and a sample that shows exactly what clients get.

If a result needs a number and none is given, write [ADD NUMBER]. - Use key words from the job ads only where they are true. - Keep it to 1-2 pages. Short sentences. - No photos, tables or graphics in the text. DECISION CRITERIA Mark READY if every bullet is supported by the inputs. Mark CHECK if any section depends on a missing fact. OUTPUT FORMAT 1. What the target jobs want (5 bullets) 2. Rewritten CV: Summary, Experience, Skills, Education 3. LinkedIn headline (under 220 characters) 4.

⚠️ Common mistakes

  • Invented achievements. AI fills gaps with impressive-sounding claims.

    Fix: keep the [ADD NUMBER] rule and confirm every figure with the client.

  • Keyword stuffing. Copying every word from the job ad sounds fake.

    Fix: use key words only where they’re true.

  • Fancy designs. Columns, icons and images can confuse CV-scanning software.

    Fix: simple layout, standard headings.

  • One CV for every job. A generic CV fits nothing well.

    Fix: tailor the summary and top bullets for each role.

  • Careless with personal data. CVs contain addresses and phone numbers. Fix: delete client files after delivery, and don’t paste personal details into tools you don’t trust.

💬 Latestly AI Take

Almost everyone has a CV that undersells them. Not because they lack skills, but because writing about yourself is hard. AI makes the writing easy. The real value is asking the right questions: “What did you actually achieve? What number proves it?” That’s a skill anyone can learn, and plenty of people will pay for.
