What machines do with your CV before a person reads it — and what that should, and should not, change about how you write.
How applicant tracking systems and AI screening actually work, what they can and cannot see, and how to write for both without writing for neither.
Personal branding is not a performance or a demand to be everywhere. It is the quieter work of making your strengths, evidence and direction consistent enough that another person can understand what you offer.
AI can make CV work faster, but speed is not the same as judgement. The strongest results come when technology helps you see structure and relevance while you remain responsible for the evidence, voice and decisions.
A relevant CV does more than repeat the language of a job advert. It helps a recruiter see where your experience meets the role, using clear evidence that both people and hiring systems can understand.
