How to Write a CV with AI (the Right Way)
AI has made writing a CV faster than ever — but it's also flooded inboxes with generic, identical-sounding CVs that recruiters can spot instantly. The trick isn't to let AI write your CV for you; it's to use AI as an editor that sharpens what's genuinely yours. Here's how.
Use AI to refine, not invent
AI is excellent at rephrasing a flat bullet into a sharp, results-focused line, or tightening a rambling summary. It's terrible at knowing what you actually did. Feed it your real achievements and let it improve the wording — never let it fabricate experience or skills.
Be specific in what you give it
Generic input produces generic output. Instead of asking AI to "write a marketing CV," give it your real numbers, tools, and results. The more specific your input, the more useful and personal the result — and the less it reads like everyone else's AI CV.
Always review and personalize
Never copy AI output straight onto your CV. Read every line, cut the fluff and clichés it loves ("results-driven professional"), correct anything inaccurate, and make sure it sounds like you. AI gives you a strong draft; you make it true and human.
Use it to match the job and beat the ATS
AI is great for comparing your CV against a job description and surfacing missing keywords. Use it to tailor each application — adjusting your summary and skills to honestly match the role — so your CV ranks higher in the ATS without keyword-stuffing.
