you paste your CV into AI and it tells you it looks great with a few suggestions. you make the changes. it still looks great.
nothing actually got harder to ignore.
like i keep saying, the problem is not your CV. it probably is the question you asked. when you ask AI to improve something, it improves it. when you ask AI to challenge it, you get something completely different — and a lot more useful.
this guide gives you exactly that. three layers.
the first gets your AI into the right mode before you share anything — because without this, it will default to encouraging you no matter what you ask next.
the second gives you 12 questions across four categories: ownership, signal, inflation, and authenticity. not generic prompts, but questions that cannot be answered with a compliment.
the third tells you how to catch your AI being too nice even after you have set it up — because it will try. there are five specific signs to watch for and exactly what to say when you spot them.
again, this is not a CV template. not even an ATS keyword guide. it is the thinking layer that most people skip — and the reason two people can use the same AI and get completely different results.
