CV Format

PDF or Docx doesnt matter as these days, if its PDF the agent will just right click and open it in word, export it into docx then upload it into Google Gemini and ask it to rewrite the CV to their own template.

I hope not - all that work I put into make a beatiful looking PDF and they ruin it in Word !! But yes, quite often they do.

If I get an interview I used to take along a printed copy and had it to the interviewer, for vid conf I just send them the file, and pull it on screen at some point too. Would make sense to even make a nice looking HTML summary to bring on screen and so on.

I am also automating the whole process with AI like you.

About 10/11 years ago I spent a little time in recruitment. Most audacious CV I ever received was 2 words apart from the guy's name and those words were "Google Me" in size 30 ish font!
I never placed him and i'm not sure anyone else did either! But if he got a job from it then it worked.
Truth told, there are probably no wrong answers in any of the responses here apart from my example. If it gets you income, use it, if it doesn't then change it.
I got AI to do me a generic CV, a 2 pager a while back. I'm quite happy with the output. Fairly standard, not too out there. I've not had a chance to use it yet and I may not need to use it.
Interesting to see the full AI process outlined though. Love the ATS compliance check. I think that will help a lot of people.
