more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
