Fits: HR · Teaching & education

A draft is quickly produced from the old CV and your conversation notes, which you then sharpen with the candidate in the session. More consulting time for strategy and interview preparation, less for wording.

Is this for you?

  • You support people in their career reorientation after a dismissal or restructuring.
  • The candidates have a direction in mind but an outdated CV.
  • You are allowed to use an AI assistant in your consulting work, or the candidate uses it together with you.
First step today

Take a made-up or fully anonymised CV (name, employers, places replaced) and use the template below to have the career stages reworded with a target position in mind. Check whether an achievement or figure appears anywhere that was not in your information.

How to go about it

  1. Clarify the target role and the reader
  2. Gather career history and achievements that can be backed up
  3. Have the CV and strategy drafted
  4. Check it through together with the candidate
  5. The candidate approves and applies
  6. Save proven wording and the strategy plan
