Prepare your CV and portfolio for a job opportunity
Review the job requirements, present your real experience, and prepare the appropriate files and work sample links.
Let's understand the idea
Start with an actual job ad or project, alongside your experience and work samples. Have the assistant match requirements to what you can prove and identify gaps instead of inventing experience to fit the ad.
After comparing, prepare a CV, application letter, and short portfolio suited to the opportunity. The assistant organizes, drafts, and helps build the website. You check every detail and decide what to send.
Tools for this workflow
Choose from what's available to you. You can use these prompts with several tools. What they can carry out depends on supported features and files.
See tool details and uses in the Tools library →Examples to expand the idea
An engineer wants to apply for a remote job. They upload the job ad and CV and ask for a comparison of requirements they can demonstrate and gaps. They adjust the CV without adding experience they don't have and prepare a short application letter.
