If there is a chore that a large majority of workers must regularly make, it is to create or update your CV.

Let us see how it works and, above all, if the proposal, which is currently free, is effective, both in time earned and relevant.

After connecting to the site, you will have to open a blank page or select an existing CV model. Then direction the left sidebar in Jobs and Resume AI. We will have to give several information here to artificial intelligence so that it can generate content.

In addition to the name of the position sought, it is especially necessary to provide, ideally in large quantities for more precision, the content of his old CV: skills, experiences, interests or even training.

Depending on the format of your original CV, it will therefore be necessary to play copy/paste, and ideally delete the ends of parasitic texts that buttons can generate on websites (we tested with and without cleaning, AI comes out in both cases). Enough to lose a few minutes already. Once it is done, just to leave AI for a few seconds to generate suggestions.

It is above all, in our case where our starting CV already gives very concise and well -organized information, paraphrase and enrichment. Each element remains well where it owes it, but artificial intelligence tries to flesh out the content by adding elements completely out of its hat. Number of loyal customers in the case of a job in the sale, number of articles or visitors for a business in writing … Watch out for inventions that are pretty, but which can play tricks during the job interview. If your skills list is not very long, it will also add them, whether you master them or not.

In addition, we will note some failures of this tool in English which has not automatically translated into French all its suggestions. The sections of our CV dedicated to training and leisure also went to the hatch when we gave it all of our CV to eat. To compensate, the tool offers a summary of a few lines of its profile based on all the data provided.

When content suits you, just drag it or copy/paste it into the CV on the right. Unfortunately, between the capricious layout and the titles of these suggestions (skills, name of a company, etc.) which cannot be copied and must be written by hand, the tool is not always very practical to use. In addition, the dates and places of jobs and training entered at the start of the generation have disappeared.

A tool for suggestion more than creation

In short, you will understand, the solution does not allow you to create a relevant CV in one minute. Between data information, retouching of suggestions and especially their tedious integration into a CV, we will have to spend time there. In addition, we cannot recommend copy/paste as it is the suggestions generated by AI, which does not hesitate to lie by inventing figures and skills to make your profile more attractive. The tool may possibly be used for people in search of suggestions to better turn the content of their CV (while remaining attentive), which any generative AI can do almost today.
