# CV Tailoring
## Overview
Same facts, targeted presentation. Mirror the offer's language and priorities so both the ATS and the recruiter see the match instantly.
## Tailoring levers (in order of impact)
- 1. **Title/summary** — echo the exact job title and top 2 requirements
- 2. **Bullet reordering** — most relevant achievements first in each role
- 3. **Keyword alignment** — use the offer's exact terms ("gestion de projet" vs "project management", tool names, methodologies)
- 4. **Emphasis shift** — expand relevant roles, compress irrelevant ones
- 5. **Skills section** — reorder to match the offer's requirements order
- 6. **Cut** — remove noise that dilutes the match

## Workflow
- 1. Ingest the offer (URL via `web_fetch` or pasted text) and the base CV.
+ 1. Ingest the offer from the Career store (`career action=status` / import paste). `web_fetch` only on open pages, never LinkedIn or another closed board. Use the Master CV as the only fact source.
2. Extract the offer's requirements: must-haves, nice-to-haves, repeated words, culture signals.
3. Run the match analysis (`ats-analyzer` scoring): what's covered, what's missing, what's hidden in the CV.
4. Apply the levers; keep every statement true.
- 5. Deliver: tailored CV (via `docx-generator`) + a 5-line match summary the user can reuse in the application.
- 6. Log the application in `application-tracker` if the user tracks their search.
+ 5. Call `career action=prepare` (alias `write` / `cv`). The desk now tailors the Master CV to that mission, writes the cover, and exports a Word pack. `download` returns the `.docx`.
+ 6. Log with `application-tracker` / `career action=apply`.
## Rules
- - Fabricating skills or reframing lies is refused — hidden truths are surfaced instead.
+ - Fabricating skills or reframing lies is refused - hidden truths are surfaced instead.
- Keep a master CV untouched; each tailored version is a copy named per company.
- 20 minutes of tailoring beats 20 untargeted applications.
